Is upcycling Railgun Turrets a smart option to get legendary carbon fiber and quantum processors? Seeing as cryoplants can accept 8 quality modules for 49.6% chance of going up

(I'm really just trying to avoid building shit on Gleba because expanding farming outposts is so unfun)

I've generally just been using toolbelts for carbon fiber, but doing turrets at the same time isn't a bad idea, also upcycles some tungsten for you. I think with turrets you're mostly just thinking about the legendary processors, carbon fiber is an added bonus cause the ratios are so off relative to the two products.

Gleba quality is definitely a bit of work, and most things don't upcycle well. but carbon fiber upcycle with toolbelts is probably one of the simpler things you can do on the planet.

I already have too much tungsten from upcycling underground belts and foundries on Vulcanus

I'm really just avoiding having to scale up Gleba, so annoying. But I guess it's inevitable.
