Any use for NipNip Buds?
I figured these things could be used to make GekNip or maybe be sold for a high price like Albumen Pearls and Gravitino Balls, but they're really inexpensive and don't do anything. What's the point of these things?

I think you used to be able to craft geknip with the nipnip buds, way back in Atlas I think. Then it was taken out. I think it's just a growable resource you can sell, worth more than gravitino balls and albumen bulbs.

It's not even worth more! It's practically worthless. I get 5x more from one Gravitino Ball than I do from 10 NipNip Buds.

You sell them. However your profit is going to be entirely dependent on system demand for them. If you're in a system with low demand for NipNip you're not gonna make very much.

Activated indium might be worth 900+ units but Nip-Nip are worth about 14000+? units each, however you can only store 5 per a slot, so you need a large 48 slot hauler to make a trade worthwhile collecting them. Especially when you can stack Activated Indium to 9999 per slot.

A large Nip-Nip farm though, can be useful regular income to harvest every now and then, in the early stages of the game.

...And if you are a wanna be Han Solo... then smuggling gek narcotics might hold a certain amusing appeal, when you have all the money in the universe.

In the newest update I think they put the value up now 1 Nipnip is worth almost 50000 in a +5%ish system
