What will vacuum hopper take from

[McDougal]

I'm just curious to see what everyone has gotten the vacuum hopper to take items from?

WHY is there no option to set vacuum hopper to pull specific items or items containing certain components from the workshop? You can do this with sorters by placing certain objects/components inside it to act as sort of a "template".

Oh you wanna have a machine that builds ammo connected to vacuum hopper next to workshop? Just gotta wait while hopper pulls out several thousand units of wood out of it before it MIGHT start pulling items out from workshop that the machine you set up actually needs for building the stuff you want it to build -_-

This, super frustrating
Not to mention if you have stores it will pull out individual bottlecaps one at a time till it moves to the next useless item its going to pull.

Wish the vacuum hopper would pull items out of corpses, made a whole slaughter house only to realize that the vacuum hoppers couldn't pull the meat out...

On the PS4, we have a mod called "workshop anywhere" Similar to conquest workshop. Anyways, I placed one such workshop in front of a vacuum hopper. Its able to be placed anywhere, which is nice since the settlement I'm using (The Slog) is built into a Castle Stone (Re-textured concrete) Fortress. The manufacturing setup Ive got going is at the very top of the settlement (floor 18 or 19) So its quite impossible to set a hopper next to the og workshop, this mod provides a work around, with PS4's limited abilities (suck one sony)

Regarding PC though, I recommend Conquest. Its the same idea, with better capabilities.

This is an old thread but I still want to complain about this. How they didn't think about this detail? The Contraptions Workshop DLC is completely useless. The only solution is to use a MOD yes, but now I'm after the achievements.

I still can't understand how they managed to screw this up

There is a simple mod that reenables achievements.
