Reinforced Hopper

Combines crushed ores into burden for the bell hopper below.

The Reinforced Hopper is the furnace's magazine: right-click to open it and load its eight slots, four for iron feed, two for fuel and two for the lime flux. It combines them into burden a batch at a time and hands the result down to the Bell Hopper beneath it, which is what actually drips it into the shaft. Ctrl and right-click toggles the whole feed on and off; a hopper switched off keeps whatever it is holding. See Ironmaking for the batch sizes and which feed the hopper spends first.

Interaction

  • Right-click to open hopper inventory
  • Right-click to toggle burden dropping
