What do ppl think about having a special bag( or even just a back pack )that a factory can pull components out of wile in the ingredients hopper.
So puttingxx crates of parts into the bag then dropping it all into the hopper rather then the painfull drag and drop system we have now.
It'd be kinda nice to have 1 bag of alcohol one bag of BE parts and 1 bag of containers to move rather then 100+ crates to load and unload into a factory
( dbl clicking helps getting things out of the hopper but I don't know any semi quick way to load one )

I'm in favor of a simpler system than instituting new game mechanics:
Every item whose sole purpose is to be a component for other crafted items (synthcloth, alcohol, power handlers, etc.) can stack up to crates of 1000. It's as simple as editing a couple values in a database, and crafters would rejoice to no end. This is also one of the simple methods to effectively increase player storage capabilities (a non-stop request) without increasing database load.
On the other hand, if a new system was going tob e worked up, I'd rather see it as new functionality on Binary Load Lifter droids. Tell your droid "get #4fgkj56d from Ankor Factory 1 output hopper, put it in Ankor Factory 4 input hopper". Gives the droid a use, improves immersion, good stuff all around.

I'd like to see a button/function that automatically lets you transfer everything in the output hopper to the input hopper. 
I would think that'd be very simple. Though the two previous suggestions would make it easier to port sub-components over to other factories.
