Advanced Logistics Hopper

The Advanced Logistics Hopper is a specialized hopper designed to address a number of common manufacturing chain, tight space, and quantity management challenges through a number of additional configurable features.


One of the biggest issues with tight space manufacturing lines is where a conveyor cannot be placed in the desired direction because it would be next to hopper and pull items from it that it shouldn't. The Advanced Logistics Hopper solves this problem by allowing the individual locking of any hopper face against extraction by conveyor belts, pipes, and generic auto craft (GAC) machines.


A frequent nuisance with building smaller multiblock machines, such as refineries and turbines, is having extra cubes left over because a hopper gave you more than needed, and you didn't want to spend time tediously inserting them one at time back in to get down to the quantity actually needed. Enough of this. The manual transfer denomination settings let you set the quantity pulled each time you press the extract key. Have some of the blocks in your inventory already? No problem. Your manual extraction action will pull just the amount needed to keep your inventory at the set denomination.


Tired of carrying smaller hoppers around and juggling which ones to use? Or having excess amounts of limited resources sitting in manufacturing line hoppers? The Advanced Logistics Hopper allow setting the maximum hopper capacity to the exact size needed for the application.


Need to hold some manufacturing intermediates back for manual crafting needs? The reserve quantity setting lets you set the number of items to be held in reserve which can only be removed by manual extraction.


A frequent issue with manufacturing chains of items such as Mass Storage Inputs/Output and power boosters, is having units on hand that need to be upgraded, but having no way to insert them into your manufacturing chain because the hoppers are full. The reserve space setting solves this by allowing a set amount of hopper space to be left open for manual insertion only.
