In the early game, you need to be holding onto pretty much everything. Most of it will be used to progress the storylines of the factions at some point and it will save you a whole load of time if you already have it. Of course, there are some exceptions. You will sometimes get lucky and manage to clip someone carrying a late-game item such as Fertilizer. This can be stored up to one stack, but won’t be needed till late in The Cycle: Frontier.
