Player Inventory
So you've collected iron, biomatter, dirty water etc. but where did it go? Meet the player Inventory (press I on PC). The player inventory allows you to store raw materials and manufactured materials (such as frames). Drag and drop to move items in and out of the player inventory to the inventories of machines and storage units. Storage unit inventories behave the same way.

Machine inventory
The machine inventories behave the same as the player inventories for the most part. Store the raw materials (iron, carbon, etc.) here if the machine requires them. The resulting components are also dropped in here. The inventory is considerably smaller than the player inventory. If you have more raw materials than the machine can store, use an external Compact Container to store them until needed.
