How is item storage supposed to work?

Item Barrel or Mass Storage for the Dusts and Ingots. The Storage Inserter is something you can Rightclick to insert whatever you have in your Inventory into a Wall of Item Barrels and/or Mass Storages as if you were walking in front of that wall and rightclick inserting everything.

Item Barrels and Mass Storages will manage Dusts and Nuggets just fine, though partial amounts are invisible to the Outside.

If you have Tape you can also move the Storages around, though the more they contain the more Tape durability you need.
