Dispenser is a part that is used to drop items and resources out of bins to in front of the dispenser. It is essential and is used for factories and automatic reactors.
Its appearance is a gray-colored part with a hole on its front side. When it is clicked or interacted by triggering it, its color will turn green and start to drop items from a connected bin. Its color will turn back into gray when it is clicked again.
Dispensers are one of the parts that can't get items through filters due to a bug. Instead, the Filter configurable can be used. If the dispenser's Filter configurable is empty, it will dispense any items.
Whether or not the dispenser is dropping items won't save when you leave, but it's color will, meaning it will appear to have saved but won't be dispensing items.
