The hopper was added in the latest stardew valley 1.5 update, it can automatically place items into any machine and the machine will start processing the item, for example you can use it to automatically start turning milk into cheese, unfortunately the hopper can not take processed items out of the machine, and this restriction hinders the potential automation that would otherwise be gained.

disliking bcuz no perfect keg placement
It works really well for things like the geode crusher and the bone mill where you have lots of different things to process in it that would take up lots of inventory space
So wait, what is the point of it then? Can't you just …. put the items into the machine yourself, instead of placing them into the hopper? Am I missing something?
You even showed that when you were gathering your pineapple wine, you were refilling it immediately…
Closest thing that console players have to automate god i miss that mod
If only they could take items from macines…
Do you need the recipe to complete the craft every item achievement, right?
They are the most useless item in the entire history of useless items
People in the comments talking about how many uses it could have.
Me watching the video because I had no idea how to use it…
Oh my god. A hopper is exactly what I need in my stardew life!
5:11 Kitty doesn't appreciate you turning his sleeping spot into a production line. 🤣
No one:
Stranger Things Fans: HOPPER!
I just use Automate Mod. It takes a while to get accustomed to it, but it's worth it
What is that spinning thing in your coop?
Damn I can't auto mate geode crushers
Petition to make hoppers work like in the automate mod. Sign here.
Take care of your animals!
I think you're underestimating the hopper. Just with the barns and coops it saves a lot of time going in and out to collect the resources, specifically once you have autopetters and don't need to visit your animals so often. There's also the bone crushers. You can set up a single hopper on it and dump your fossils in, then just pick up your fertilizer whenever you're nearby. Then there's the crab pots and recyclers, wood chippers, furnaces, slime eggs etc…
We tend to think of them in mass because that's how we've been playing, but they shine with the things that are already low maintenance. That's probably why we have the option to buy the recipe OR individual machines.
It’d be nice if you could say buy/make an upgrade that can be installed in any machine that pushes an item two the nearest inventory, the way the mill does
Really bizarre that with all the things that make this game more automated like the Sprinklers and the Junimo Huts the Hopper gets walled and only does half of what you'd expect it to do
I play on PC with Xbox controller. I can load and collect item from processors by simply holding a button and run pass them. Therefore, the hopper itself is REALLY less efficient. The space required for a hopper can be used for another processor. This mean (for an example, a big barn full of kegs), I will only get half the products since I will have to waste a sizeable space for hoppers.
If only hoppers can also take item from processors then they'll be truly useful.
Great vid as usual.
