Reinforced Hopper

Holds blast-furnace burden and feeds it to the bell hopper below.

The tank is where a charge is loaded: right-click with burden or fuel to add it, one unit or a whole stack at a time, and ctrl plus right-click to stop or start it dropping into the Bell Hopper below. It holds 48 units of one material, so a full 1216-unit charge of the shaft means loading it, and the bell under it, again and again. Alternate loads of burden and fuel to keep the shaft's courses stacking the way the furnace wants.

Interaction

  • Right-click to add one burden
  • Right-click to take burden
