The transfer speed of all hopper and pipes are identical.

The bronze hopper has one slot while the iron hopper has three.

Hoppers can pickup and move items, while pipes can only move items.

Individual hopper settings

Every hopper can have it's own setting. They appear in a custom UI when the hopper is opened.

  • Filter items: this can be used for automate item routing.

The last item will be remembered with a "ghost" item and only this item type will be moved to the hopper.

  • Leave last item: whether to leave the last type of an item in the hopper and the chest
  • Enable item dropping: if enabled and the hopper has no target inventory they will dropped like the smelter does for example.
  • Enable item pickup: if disabled the hopper will not pickup items from the ground.

Seamless multiplayer

The mod aims to work without interruption or major behavior differences of hoppers and pipes in multiplayer.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
