Is most (or anything) of the valuable product tech tree better for crafting yourself? or just selling?

[Shadowdeathray]

I am confused on how all these expensive products and materials are used in crafting and selling. Should I get rid of them? Or save them for crafting, building, etc. It has became a concern and question for myself.

You can do both. They are just one of many optional ways the player can earn currency. While Crafting them was never required, they did seem more useful when first added for making money. Now learning them is more of a completionist thing in my opinion. I still earn them on the ground over time of a new file, but cannot recall how many years it has been since crafting any.

Though making money in the game is a good thing again imo ... we were not always able to buy crates and convert the contents to hundreds of thousands of nanites in a super efficient way like we can now.

Those items do sell well of course ... you only have to ask yourself is it efficient? Beyond just the desire to know them all of course. I am just a simple vanilla player ... so if I want to get rich these days I just hunt Interceptors in a 3 star economy.

Unless you NEED credits now, I usually just keep crafting items to use later when I can finally craft the $15M+ items by using them in the intermediate steps.

Always an option to just build and sell them. Make enough $2 M items and who cares.

It can be hard to gronk early in your game experience, but credits are just a means to an end. Easy to get caught on the dragon and sacrifice your game enjoyment by feeding the dragon...only to find out there is a hard cap of $4B+. It can be disappointing if you don't know the facts.
