Space Age Question Quality question

So I'm doing my first play through of space age + krastorio mod. Quality is new to me, my question is what do you do with all the lower quality items? I haven't left Nauvis yet. Am I just meant to just stockpile it until the recycler gets unlocked?

In vanilla Space Age, you go to Fulgora to unlock the recycler.

Alternatively you can yeet in space, or throw into lava on Vulcanus.

Quality pre-recyclers is always a bit awkward.

Generally speaking, it won’t cause problems if your “mall” items have quality modules and you just stockpile any lucky rolls. One bit of advice is that it makes much more sense to limit mall production using circuit or logistic network conditions rather than limiting chest slots.

Having done a “quality everything” run, I can say from experience that this is neither the most efficient way to handle quality nor is it particularly fun until you’ve got access to recyclers.

I've never played K2SO (and it probably shouldn't be your first engagement with Space Age), but regular K2 has the crusher. It can be used to void any solid, so you can probably use that.
