Thread: Input Hoppers and Crafting Stations
Well - this is a good news/bad news situation.
Good News - if equipped with the droid storage compartments when built, the input hoppers on the private crafting stations now work. You can store up to 100 items in it and, during the crafting process, you can toggle back and forth beween your inventory and the input hopper, selecting ingredients from each.
Bad News - The items in the input hopper still count against the house storage limit. I did a simple test to confirm this. Checked the hous status, dropped 4 items in the hopper and then checked status again - number of items in house went up by four.
It is readily apparent that the designers arbitrarily choosing inventory limits have NEVER tried to play this game as an advanced crafter of any type.
