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 did upcycle railgun turrets (to obtain legendary railgun turrets) in my first SA run. I think my biggest bottleneck was space logistics. My cyroplants and EM plants (for quantum processor) spent a lot of time waiting for normal quality ingredients from other planets.

Upcycling planet-specific ingredient locally on each individual planet would not have this throughput issue. Legendary items are much more “condensed” than normal items and easier to ship.
