A '''hopper''' is a [[nutrient paste dispenser]] accessory that holds raw food, it must be built next to the machine to work. The hopper mouse indicator will turn from red to green to indicate proper placement. 

Once a hopper is selected,  you can click the "Storage" tab which opens a menu where you can set the priority and resources of choice: max capacity for raw meat is 75 units. Since hoppers cannot be reinstalled but only deconstructed, its best to build the dispenser first and then add the hopper. Cooks may take raw food from them in order to cook meals.

=== Acquisition === 
It is built with {{Required Resources}} in {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} after the research [[Research#Nutrient paste|Nutrient Paste]] has been completed.

Hoppers can be installed all around the nutrient dispenser, excepting corners. As such, a total of 14 hoppers can be connected to a single nutrient paste dispenser, resulting in a total amount of 1,050 foodstuffs being available for processing through the dispenser.

: '''Minor bug''': Unbutchered corpses (of any type!) will be consumed by the machine, and only a single meal will be produced, if a hopper is built on top of them.  The body (with [[apparel]]) will disappear without trace.  Make sure to clear any space for a new hopper if you do not want this to happen.

: Similar to the above, the machine will consume ''any'' type of food (except hay), including all biological corpses and [[kibble]], if the food happens to be dropped ''on top'' of an existing hopper.  It is possible to force food on top of a hopper by taking it to a pawn's inventory and then manually dropping it in front of the hopper (the hopper needs to be directly south of the pawn).  This allows for reprocessing meals (removing any ingredient penalties), as well as producing meals out of kibble (which will not carry the usual kibble penalty).  This can safely be considered an exploit of game mechanics, as it is probably not intended for the dispenser to even process these types of food at all.

-[[File:Nutrient paste hoppers.png|thumb|200px|left|All valid hopper positions.<br/>Gold tile is the dispenser's interaction spot.<br>Numbers indicate order the hoppers will be drawn from - Note that this order is '''not''' rotated if the dispenser is.]]
-Hoppers are installed on any side of a [[nutrient paste dispenser]], except the interaction spot (front center). A total of 13 hoppers can service a single dispenser. 1 dispenser can hold 1 stack of food. A dispenser with 13 hoppers could have up to 975 foodstuffs available for processing, or 162 [[nutrient paste meal]]s. Meals draw from hoppers from the bottom-left-most tile first, going counter-clockwise from there. The dispenser can draw from multiple hoppers at the same time.
-Hoppers act like a [[stockpile zone]], but can only hold raw food other than [[hay]]. Unlike with most other haul tasks, hauling to a food hopper is considered both a "Cook" and a "Hauling" work job. Otherwise, it works like any other stockpile zone - you can click the "Storage" tab to select priority and stored items. The hopper defaults to Important priority. Set this priority higher than other food stockpiles to make sure food is hauled to the hopper.

-Despite the limitations in the stockpile selection, the machine will consume ''any'' type of food (except hay). This includes all biological corpses, any type of [[meal]], and [[kibble]]. It is possible to force food on top of a hopper by taking it to a pawn's inventory, positioning the pawn directly north of the hopper, and then manually dropping it in front of the hopper. This can be wasteful; a full corpse will only produce 1 meal, for instance. However, reprocessing kibble or [[pemmican]] is technically more efficient than using raw food.

-== Analysis ==
+== Version History ==
-Placing multiple hoppers is recommended, as hoppers can only hold 1 stack of food at a time. With only 1 hopper, a quantity of 4 [[meat]] would prevent colonists from placing 75 [[rice]] in the hopper, resulting in food not entering the dispenser. Having multiple hoppers allows multiple small stacks of foodstuff to be consumed by the machine at once. Should this "jamming" occur and adding hoppers be infeasible, the existing hoppers will need to be emptied before more of a different foodstuff can be added.
-Unless you get food from many different sources, you'll only need a few hoppers to the dispenser to avoid jamming. [[Small shelf|Small shelves]] are cheaper to create and hold 3 items rather than 1, so they are a better general storage option.
-Since neither hoppers nor NPD's can be uninstalled but only deconstructed, ''plan carefully'' for placement of both the NPD and your preferred number of hoppers, plus room for haulers to load the hoppers.
