Take your Rust base automation to the next level with Usable Hoppers, the plugin that turns any containers into fully functional hoppers that automatically collect items from the ground within a configurable range. While Usable Hoppers is perfect for setting up an automated horse farm—where it gathers horse poop and deposits it into a composter—it’s versatile enough for other tasks too. Whether you're automating gathering dropped resources, or organizing loot from the battlefield, Usable Hoppers will save you time and effort. The plugin is designed to automate item collection directly from the ground, making resource management in your base smoother and more efficient. Usable on regular chests, furnaces, lootable crates and even airdrops. Fully customizable, you can control the pickup radius, item types, and collection frequency, giving you complete control over how it works in your base. Simplify your Rust gameplay and let Usable Hoppers do the heavy lifting!
