How to Use
When the machine in front of the Hopper is not working and its output has been collected, and the materials in the Hopper can be loaded into that machine, it will automatically load the stored materials into the machine in front of it.
Features
- Items produced this way still need to be manually collected
- The Hopper can hold multiple different raw materials
- Can add two materials at once to a connected machine
- For example, you can place coal and multiple different ores in the Hopper, and place a Furnace in front of it; the Hopper will load ores into the Furnace in left-to-right order for smelting
