Quality Matters Cheat Sheet

A quick cheat sheet for basic constructed items and tools where quality matters for longer-term progression.

Aiming for progression-related items here. These are fairly fundamental items where improving their quality helps you make higher quality basic goods (or in a couple cases, like beds, survive better) in the future.

In general, this list answers the question "What can I do to help myself out if I have high quality [thing]?"
