Conveyors and automation

[Barsik_The_CaT]

So, today I bought season pass to make some factories in my settlements, but kinda faced a wall here. Conveyors has a machine that pull items fron an inventory and puts them on the adjasent conveyor. What kind of inventory, though? I'm pretty sure it can't access the that red table thats stores all junk you have. So, the player is supposed to place a chest or something near conveyor and manually fill it, or how does it work?

Use a vacuum hopper and either place a container next to the funnel, or dump the items directly into it.
Don't forget to place a collector container at the end of the line, too. ;)

The Vacuum Hopper. It sucks.

(har dee har)

No, it pulls *everything* from container inventory, and does indeed work against settlement workbenches. It'll be up to you to sort out what's wanted and what isn't.

If your workbench is loaded up with stuff, I can't recommend using it... instead, grab all the junk items and dump them in another container for the hopper's uses.

Thankfully the 'loot' screen has a give/take all junk items button, just make sure you won't get crushed by the weight (i,e, perk up, 'Strong Back' IIRC).

So, Fallout 4 is actually pretending to be modded minecraft, but just can't do it right?
I mean, what's the point of that kind of automation if you still have to grab all necessary reagents and put them somewhere? I mean, if they were planning to do it this way why not just add more crafting recipes?

it will draw from every kind of storage you have at the start of the hopper "close", it works on the workshop, but is not recommended as there are so many items in it, build a storage container, any will do and place it at the start of the hopper, then place all the regents into it you need.

use this the dlc on its own is pointless this fixes pretty much all of the issues your having

That's what I'm talking about - if it has to be done like that - it's pointless. I'm actually gonna try to contact beth support, because in its current state the whole conveyor system is useless.

I still have some achivements to get, so I can't use mods atm, though that one seems pretty interesting.
