Can Anything Global or Hof?

Well...  The short answer is yes. Basic filters global, and hof. Hofs are RARE, but they have been known to happen. At 5 pecs per click, the Basic Filters are the cheapest item to craft. And as far as that goes, I have seen Chirpy hofs, perhaps even cheaper to kill than it is to craft one click of basic filters!

See... The cost to do something is equivalent to the denomination of a slot machine. The more it costs, the bigger the risks, the bigger the rewards. It would be asinine to have 100K hofs on basic filters, and only give 200 ped globals for killing Second Entitys, wouldn't it? But don't lose your faith and hope yet.

Everything has the possibility of globalling. It just depends on how much dedication you put into doing something. If you are constantly running clicks on something, then yes, eventually you will see a hof, even on a small ticket item. If you are always mining a certain area, and putting out lots of bombs, sure, eventually you will tower there. If you did nothing but hunt Chirpy's, I guarantee you will eventually get a Chirpy global or a hof!

But it may take an EXTREMELY long time to get where you will hit something big on something so small as filters or chirpies. I would instead aim for something more practical... Exarasaurs and Snables do hof and global... Level 1 weapons and armor blueprints global and hof a lot too.

The problem is this. If you are spending  0.05 ped per click making something... You are doubling your money if you get say 5 filters and 5 residue to drop in one click. To get 50 peds in filters, thats 50.00... That is 1,000 times returned to you on a single click! The odds of hitting something that pays 1000 to 1 is not as great as say, something that is 100 to 1 or 10 to 1. Odds has a lot to do with it. I hate to say it, but if the game were truely random, which I do not believe it is, then you should as easily be able to hit an ATH on filters as you might with an OA 109 doing some carpet bombing.

The reality is, something like a Chirpy or Filters MIGHT some day ATH... But it will be so ridiculous to see. The odds of hitting 20K plus peds on something that costs a few pecs... That is very long odds, almost laughable.

So I think what is important, is to know that perseverance is what will get you your globals and hofs. If you do the same thing long enough, it will hit.
