Hopper fix

[NightReaper1989]

Hyo all,

I've been working on a factory and found a few issues with the vanilla hoppers:

1. They tend to spawn some items clipping the physical model and spewing off in any direction.
2. They spawn items clipping the catchment area and are immediately recollected by the hopper.
3. Some items spawned don't correctly exit the hopper and become stuck.
4. Hopper extracts items from inventories.

Items known to cause issues

• Physical Clipping:
  • Mops
  • Brooms
• Recollecting:
  • Shovels
  • Mr Handy Fuel
  • Umbrella Stands
• Getting stuck:

  • Test Tube Rack

 

Issues 1 through 3 tent to be item specific, but I believe could all be solved by moving the location relative to the hopper that the items are spawned at. Issue 4 is an odd one as I don't believe these were ever intended to extract from inventories at all, might be that the function or behavior is being called mistakenly. The image below illustrates issue 4, the hopper will pull items from the conveyor storage and put them on the belt into it in an endless loop. I have no idea how hard these issues are to address, but it would be nice if they were fixed.

 

 

Thanks and appreciation to anyone that takes this on, it would make a huge reliability difference,

Cheers
