Hey guys!

I jsut put my food & Chem station in my residence yesterday but I'm clueless as how to use the hopper.

When I click on my crafting tool, on the radial menu, above start crafting, I have an "Open Hopper" command that does nothing.

When I clicked to begin crafting, i had the hopper option as a tab on the right, next to inventory.

WhenI clicked on the hopper, I also dragged from my inventory my materials (copper 300, leatheyr hides 800, water 500), but when I closed the window and tried to access the materials i the hopper, they were GONE and no longe rin my inventory.

Has anyone else had this problem because I wasted a lot of tiem and money doing that.

um are you talking about the personal food/chem craft station or the food/chem factory? i thought f/c facs can only be placed outdoors?

He is talking about the station. The description of the station says that it has a hopper you can store ingredients in that is accessible through the radial menu on your food and chem crafting tool, unfortunately it doesn't. I don't know if that is a bug or just something that got taken out of the game (or never put in) and didn't get changed on the description.

People were storing unlimited amounts of stuff in hoppers, so they did something to them in beta. The hoppers were left over from some other earlier design phase when they needed hoppers (maybe they operated like small factories).

Just use them like you would uise a public station (just use your kit) more schematics will show up.

I'm surprised they didn't remove hoppers entirely really.

Well shyt.

That's why I wanted the personal station; to store my station.

I guess that's why it ate my organics and inorganics.

i mean I wanted it so I could store stuff in the hoppers. Oh well...

You live and you learn.

You are supposed to be able to store "some stuff" in there... There is a limit though... dunno what it is offhand.. if it is eating everything, it is definitely a bug... dunno how fast it will get fixed though.

EXACT same thing happened to me... was a bummer, but I just bought the resources again on the bazaar after shooting a few gnorts ^_^ Shame, though, I lost some OQ 995 Beans.

Private stations used to have an input hopper, accessible from your crafting tool on the combine screen. There's a button on that screen called "inventory", if you stand next to a private station you'd also get the button to access the input hopper. I think this used to work, but I never used it.

This is different from the input and output hoppers that used to be on craft tools themselves though.

This one isn't likely to be fixed anytime soon I reckon though.
