What to do with all the scrap at the beginning of the game (first quests)

I dont know what i sholud do with all this things - sell or keep ?

Don't sell until you're overwhelmed by common junk. Crafting rare items would require rare AND some common junk as well.

Even rare junk isn't worth selling. They all cost at max. 100 caps when you can get more than 500 doing objectives, exploring the wasteland, doing quests and of course finding the mysterious stranger. Having Bottle & Cappy visiting your vault repeatedly is another reason why selling junk is worthless.

Early game, try to keep the ebst damage weapons, etc, that new dwelleres you get could use.

And your Not going to craft any low tier uselless junk, so sell all that stuff when searchers get back to your vault. You don't need those low level crafting materials taking up space in your vaults inventory (unless you really do want to craft some low level stuff)

once you're in Rare's and Legendary, do NOT sell it, scrap that stuff if your Not going to use it on a dweller. Those mats let you make some really good stuff (especialy after finding the recipes)

You want to craft better weapons , 15 +++, higher the damage the better. And you will want to craft some of the armours (especially high endurance) that your dwellers need.

Early in the game when you're limited for space and don't have workshops, I would sell common junk. Maybe keep a small amount like 3 or 5 of each for crafting later.
I found that rare weapons and outfits aren't really that rare. I always just found them by exploring or doing quests and never had to craft. I used crafting mainly for legendary items or if I needed a specific weapon or outfit for a quest.
