For anyone concerned about wasting augs on low tier crafting, you should know that when you deconstruct the crafted item you get all your augs back. Most of the mats are still wasted, but by the time I did most of the 2nd/3rd planets I had thousands of the common stuff and hundreds of the rares. The annoying part then is the fact that each merchant only sells ONE of any aug, so if you want to load up your armor with recharge speed augs you have to sit through the cutscene and loading screen for the Nexus, run to the vendor, and then back to the Tempest for more unskippable animations and load screens like a dozen goddamn times.
You'll probably want to do the same thing for your weapon mods every time you unlock a new tier of them too, since you can't really count on getting them as drops in a timely manner.
