Description: "Can be connected to other machines for automation. Stores up to 100 resources."
This is the best hopper currently available. It dispenses items quickly, and has a high storage capacity, however it is considerably more expensive than either the Logistics Hopper and the MiniHopper.
Dispenses 1 item approximately every second.
Hoppers can be daisy-chained to increase storage capacity. Items will "spill" from the origin hopper in an attempt to even out the capacities of all connected hoppers. For a visible representation of this effect, place down a lot of Power Storage Blocks (empty) in the shape you want your hoppers to be, then begin adding power to a single one and observe the effects.
Storage Hoppers are very useful in preventing or relieving bottlenecks in a conveyor system, simply replace the Logistics Hopper or MiniHopper with it. It can dispense items so quickly, it will usually clear up the bottleneck.
Items can be manually taken from a hopper by pressing "Q", and added by pressing "T".
If a hopper has multiple conveyor routes, the hopper will show a preference to the first route taken. If the original route gets jammed, the hopper will choose a new route.
Hoppers have 4 modes: (cycle modes by pressing "E")
AddAndRemove: Items can be dispensed from the hopper (removed) and placed into the hopper (added).
RemoveOnly: Items can only be dispensed from the hopper (removed).
AddOnly: Items can only be added to the hopper (added).
Locked: Items cannot be dispensed from the hopper (removed) or placed into the hopper (added).
