Thread: Droid Storage Compartment and The Crafting Station
Hopefully this will be a more comprehensive answer:
The ONLY thing that ALL of the optional components in crafting stations do is effect the end Functionality Rating. That is ALL they do. If they are high quality they bring the rating up, if they are low quality they bring the rating down.
On a more pointed note, you do NOT need to include Droid Storage Compartments in order for your crafting station to have an input hopper. More to the point..
ALL Private Crafting Stations have input hoppers.
Frequent reasons you may not be seeing/able to access your stations input hopper:
1. The Crafting Station was VERY recently assembled. I've consistantly noticed a bug where I would not be able to open the input hopper for a few hours.
2. You have placed your crafting station too close to another crafting station.
