Separate costs from sale values
Sale value is an item valuation, not its purchase price or the cost of crafting it. Upgrade recipes include the previous-tier weapon. Our advice: count what you already have before deciding whether a displayed upgrade is affordable.

Check quest needs first
Materials
The journal searches objectives and rewards, while required materials appear in quest details.
In practice
Our advice: check these before selling components.
Keep in mind
A material that seems spare for your current build may be needed for the next task you intend to accept.

Read blueprint requirements
Some recorded recipes specify a blueprint as well as a station level. Our advice: verify both in-game before spending time gathering a large batch of materials. This reference does not track which blueprints you have learned.

Save a replacement plan
The essentials
Use the loadout library to keep a kit you can rebuild.
In practice
Our advice: make the replacement kit simple enough that losing it does not halt your next run.
Crafting
Material quantities and recipes are dated records, so check the current crafting station before committing valuable components.
