In order for a factory to produce items, it requires resources. Resources are the basic items used in production and include components and harvested materials such as minerals, chemicals and gases. To manage resources each factory comes with an Input Hopper which is essentially a 100 unit container that accepts any item (except those flagged as no trade) as input. When items are produced from a factory, they come out as factory crates (or deeds as is the case for some items). Factory Item output are stored in another 100 unit container called the Output hopper. The output hopper stores these items until the player collects them from it. Items cannot be inserted into the output hopper as it only allows for items to be removed.

Note: Structures without schematics loaded will only have [[media:FactoryHoppers1.jpg|Three Radial Options]] on the Options radial menu listing. Structures with a schematic loaded will have [[media:FactoryOperation1.jpg|Six Radial Options]].

== Managing Input Hopper ==

To access the Input Hopper, the player must go to the [[media:FactoryHoppers1.jpg|Options]] radial menu and select the Access Station Ingredients Hopper option. Following doing this, a [[media:FactoryHoppers2.jpg|Container Window]] will open up listing the current contents of the factory. Items can be added to the hopper by clicking on the item from the player's inventory, dragging and dropping it into the hopper container. To remove items, the player must click on the item in the hopper and choose the [[media:FactoryHoppers5.jpg|Pick Up]] radial option.

== Managing Output Hopper ==

To access the Output Hopper, the player must go to the [[media:FactoryHoppers1.jpg|Options]] radial menu and select the Access Station Output Hopper option. Following doing this, a [[media:FactoryHoppers3.jpg|Container Window]] will open up listing the current contents of the factory. To remove items, the player must click on the item in the hopper and choose the [[media:FactoryHoppers5.jpg|Pick Up]] radial option.

 In order to collect resources, every harvester has a storage hopper. The storage hopper is essentially a unique container that stores any type of resource that the harvester may have collected during its operation. Storage hopper sizes determine how many resources a particular harvester can keep before it is forced to shut down. Storage hoppers can be accessed by clicking on the [[media:Harvester1.jpg|Operate Machinery]] radial option under the Structure Management radial menu. Once clicked, an [[media:Harvester2.jpg|SUI Window]] will appear where a button labeled Hopper will show up on the lower half of the window. Clicking on this will open up the [[media:Harvester6.jpg|Storage Hopper]] window.

In order for one of the options to work, the player must select a resource that is stored in the hopper and then press the corresponding button to the desired action.
