{{:Infobox:Rocket part}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Rocket parts&#039;&#039;&#039; are created inside of the [[rocket silo]].  Each completed part contributes 1% towards the completion of the rocket.  Once all 100 rocket parts have been completed, the rocket silo will display a rocket ready to be launched within the silo, and the player can launch the rocket from within the rocket silo interface by pressing the LAUNCH button. Before launching, a [[satellite]] can be placed into the rocket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Building the Rocket ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rocket needs 100 parts; each part needs 3 ingredients; those ingredients need other ingredients; etc. In total, one rocket (without satellite) will need 100 rocket parts, which requires the following raw resources (assuming [[Advanced oil processing]] and cracking are used):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 9,500 [[Coal]]&lt;br /&gt;
* 35,648.148 [[Water]]&lt;br /&gt;
* 39,907.407 [[Crude oil]]&lt;br /&gt;
* 77,500 [[Copper ore]]&lt;br /&gt;
* 89,100 [[Iron ore]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To win the game (or obtain [[Space science pack]]s), the player additionally needs a satellite. The total raw cost for the satellite is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 450 [[Coal]]&lt;br /&gt;
* 7,157.407 [[Water]]&lt;br /&gt;

Original message for posterity:&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Welcome to &#039;&#039;factorio&#039;&#039;!&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
We hope you will contribute much and well.&lt;br /&gt;
You will probably want to read the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents help pages].&lt;br /&gt;
Again, welcome and have fun! [[User:Mishka|Mishka]] ([[User talk:Mishka|talk]]) 09:56, 18 July 2016 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Hello, and welcome to my talk page. Feel free to click &amp;quot;Add topic&amp;quot; at the top to send me a message. I&#039;ll get back to you at the earliest opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Formatting ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have several questions about formatting.&lt;br /&gt;
# Should I bold titles? In some articles titles are bold (eg. [[Pistol]], [[Wooden chest]]) and in some aren&#039;t (eg. [[Land mine]], [[Rocket launcher]]).&lt;br /&gt;
# Should I put spaces between header begining, ending and text (eg. [[Rocket launcher]] and [[Burner mining drill]] - there are spaces in &amp;quot;History&amp;quot; header, but no in &amp;quot;See also&amp;quot; header)? &lt;br /&gt;
And is [[Template:EquipNav]] redundant? Only some translated articles are using it ([[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:EquipNav]]) and this template doesn&#039;t include icons. In most cases it could be replaced with [[Template:CombatNav]]. --[[User:Zabshk|&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#1589FF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Zabshk&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;]] [[User talk:Zabshk|&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#736F6E&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;(query)&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;]] 16:44, 2 May 2017 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
: Hey there Zabshk, all good questions. As for bolding titles on pages, we don&#039;t have a specific rule, but we do encourage it for new pages. You can leave it off if you feel it isn&#039;t necessary. As for the spacing, again, not really defined. You may put what you think looks the best for the page content in question. The Equipnav template is actually outdated (I should probably delete it), instead we use a system that organizes pages by their ingame organization, aka [[Template:ProductionNav]], [[Template:IntermediateNav]], [[Template:CombatNav]], and [[Template:LogisticsNav]]. We also have [[Template:TechNav]] for techs. Let me know if you have any more questions. --([[User:Gangsir|Gangsir]]) ([[User talk:Gangsir|talk]]) - &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#FF0000&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Admin&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; 20:42, 2 May 2017 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Small Pump changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hi Gangsir,&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m new here and new to wiki editing, so bear with me for a moment. I&#039;ve been working on updating the [[small pump]] page to reflect it&#039;s new capabilities in 0.15.x but it really needs to be moved to [[pump]] to reflect the entity&#039;s name change.&lt;br /&gt;
At present I&#039;m not comfortable making that move as I don&#039;t understand the implications, can you either move it or advise me on the plan below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I believe what needs to happen is:&lt;br /&gt;
* Move the existing [[pump]] page to a new temporary location&lt;br /&gt;
* Move the [[small pump]] page to [[pump]]&lt;br /&gt;
* reformat the old pump page into a disambiguation page or combine it&#039;s content into the top of the new pump page&lt;br /&gt;
* find and fix broken links&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And most importantly, thanks for having me and including me in the community :)&lt;br /&gt;
-Morshan&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
: Hey there Morshan, you&#039;re close. Typically in the event of a name collision with a disambiguation page, we normally just delete the disambiguation page. I&#039;ll handle it, thanks for the conflict report. --([[User:Gangsir|Gangsir]]) ([[User talk:Gangsir|talk]]) - &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#FF0000&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Admin&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; 21:02, 9 May 2017 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ratios section ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hello Gangsir,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have an idea : create a new &amp;quot;ratios&amp;quot; section in the wiki &amp;quot;expert&amp;quot; section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This section concern ratios about day/night, energy, constructions, fabrications, thics, transport and so on...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I could create it by myself, but i want your opinion before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
do you think it&#039;s a good idea or not ?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;For the common yellow electrical inserter, see [[Inserter]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Inserters&#039;&#039;&#039; are devices which are used to move items over short distances. When placed, they have a fixed direction. They can move items from behind and place them in front of them. By doing this, they can move items from one transport belt to another, but also extract items from, and insert items into machines or storage devices. There are seven types of inserters, all requiring electricity to run (except the Burner Inserter, which burns [[Fuel|fuel]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Types Of Inserters ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
| {{imagelink|burner-inserter|Burner inserter}} || The only [[fuel]]-powered inserter.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| {{imagelink|basic-inserter|Basic inserter}} || The standard electrical inserter.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| {{imagelink|long-handed-inserter|Long handed inserter}} || Capable of inserting and removing items from a greater distance.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| {{imagelink|fast-inserter|Fast inserter}} || Much faster than the Basic inserter.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| {{imagelink|filter-inserter|Filter inserter}} || Variant of the Fast inserter that can filter items by type.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| {{imagelink|stack-inserter|Stack inserter}} || As fast as the Fast inserter but can move many more items at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| {{imagelink|stack_filter_inserter|Stack filter inserter}} || Variant of the Stack inserter that can filter items by type.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mechanics==&lt;br /&gt;
Inserters &#039;&#039;&#039;will&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Pick up&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Items]] off the ground, off of a [[Transport belts|Transport belt]], or from any object that has storage space, including [[Storages/Chests|chests]], [[furnace]]s and [[assembling machine]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Place&#039;&#039;&#039; the item onto the ground, onto a transport belt, or into any object that has storage space.&lt;br /&gt;
* Inserters can place items on all types of conveyor belts.&lt;br /&gt;
* Try to pick up items from all types of belts (as of v0.12 there is no limitation anymore).&lt;br /&gt;
* Inserters will run at slower speeds when starved for energy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inserters will &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
* Pick up any items that can not be inserted into the connected entity.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pick up items into an entity with a full inventory.&lt;br /&gt;
* Place more than one item at a time onto the same ground tile.&lt;br /&gt;
* Place items into a stack limited inventory, beyond the stack limit (red slots).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inserters act differently depending on what they are moving items to/into so as not to monopolize all of the items being picked up. This allows other machines and inserters on the same transport belt to pick up a share of the items. If two inserters are picking up from the same tile, the first placed inserter has priority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insertion Limits==&lt;br /&gt;
Inserters will stop inserting items into certain buildings if they already have enough of that item. For example, if a boiler has 5 or more items of fuel in it, an inserter will not insert additional fuel. When the fuel drops below 5 items, the inserter will continue to insert more fuel, up to the limit of 5 items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is to allow for all machines to receive their share of items. The common limits on insertion are shown in the table below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
! Entity !! Item type !! Inserter limit !! Comment&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[Boiler]]s, [[Burner inserter]]s, [[Furnace]]s || [[Fuel]] || align=&amp;quot;center&amp;quot; | 5 ||&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[Gun turret]]s || Bullet Magazines || align=&amp;quot;center&amp;quot; | 10 || Since v0.8.4. Allows for 100 shots before depleting.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[Assembling machine]]s || Items needed for the recipe || Double the number of items needed in the recipe ||&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[Furnace]]s || Items needed for the recipe || Double the number of items needed in the recipe ||&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[Lab]]s || [[Science pack]]s || Double the number of items needed for one research point ||&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An inserter that takes items from an object containing [[Storage/Stack|stacks]] of items (such as a chest) can overfill the target building due to the [[Inserter item stack size bonus]] research. Overfilling can also happen if  multiple inserters are used to insert items into one building.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Inserters And Transport Belt Interaction ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Transport belts]] have two lanes on which items can travel. Inserters only place items onto one side of the belt. Which side they place it on depends on the orientation of the inserter and the belt, as described below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[File:PlaceOnFarSide.gif|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Inserters will &#039;&#039;&#039;always&#039;&#039;&#039; place the item on the furthest lane.&lt;br /&gt;
{{clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
: [[File:TakeFromNearSide.gif|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Inserters &#039;&#039;&#039;prefer&#039;&#039;&#039; taking items from the nearest lane. If the nearest lane is empty, the inserter will take from the far lane.&lt;br /&gt;
{{clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
: [[File:PlaceOnRightSide.gif|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* If a belt is in the same orientation as the inserter, the item will be placed on the right-hand lane, from the belt&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
{{clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
: [[File:PlaceOnInsideOfCorner.gif|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* If the item is placed on a corner piece, it will be put on the inside of the curve, regardless of orientation.&lt;br /&gt;
{{clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Potential Issues ==&lt;br /&gt;
Inserters may have problems picking up items:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* From very fast belts, because the items are moving too quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* From the entry or exit of an underground belt (because the time they have to pick up is shorter)&lt;br /&gt;
* From turning belts if the item is on the inside of the corner&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Inserter Item Stack Size Bonus==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If an inserter moves items from inventory to inventory (for example from an assembler into a chest), or (as of v0.13) from an inventory to a belt, it is able to transport more items at once. The secret behind this is the [[Inserter item stack size bonus]] research.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Power Usage==&lt;br /&gt;
* Electric inserters drain energy even when they are not moving, as idle power&lt;br /&gt;
* The amount of energy used is the same for every movement&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Burner inserter]] does not drain energy when idle, but uses more energy when it is active. It is quite useful for situations where the inserter does not need to move very often.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rotation Speed===&lt;br /&gt;
Convention: 2π rad = 100% of a circle rotation = &#039;&#039;&#039;1 turn&#039;&#039;&#039; (or one full rotation).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: an Inserter doesn&#039;t always need to make full turns. When grabbing from a transport belt, it is slightly faster when grabbing items from the closest lane.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Extension Speed===&lt;br /&gt;
The extension-speed is normally not visible (only when compared to other inserters), but there are measurable speed differences when taking - for example - from the near or the far side of a belt. Also Some mods can alter the pickup and drop locations of inserters, making this stat more relevant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Inserter Throughput==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following is based on [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OzlP2v6P1OGxK1xCFr77aqVfNNEaEKHlA89aSVmqBGw/edit?usp=sharing experimental data] gathered in version 0.15.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inserter throughput between chests and other [[stack|stacks]] is a simple function of stack size and arm speed:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;n&#039;&#039; = Stack size&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;t_arm&#039;&#039; = Time to move the arm back and forth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time per item = &#039;&#039;t_arm&#039;&#039; / &#039;&#039;n&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughput (items/sec) = 1 / Time per item = &#039;&#039;n&#039;&#039; / &#039;&#039;t_arm&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When moving items to or from belts, the time to pick up or put down items also becomes a factor:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;t_item&#039;&#039; = Time to pick up or put down or an item&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;t_cycle&#039;&#039; = Time to complete an arm cycle = &#039;&#039;t_arm&#039;&#039; + &#039;&#039;n&#039;&#039;*&#039;&#039;t_item&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time per item = &#039;&#039;t_cycle&#039;&#039; / &#039;&#039;n&#039;&#039; = &#039;&#039;t_item&#039;&#039; + &#039;&#039;t_arm&#039;&#039; / &#039;&#039;n&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughput (items/sec) = 1 / (&#039;&#039;t_item&#039;&#039; + &#039;&#039;t_arm&#039;&#039; / &#039;&#039;n&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; [https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=9141#p280529 Before 0.15.14], inserters were 1-4% less efficient when moving items from south to north.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Chest to belt===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughput going from chest to belt depends on how full the belt is and how the items are spaced, i.e. if spaces are large enough to fill with items. Underground entrances and exits also makes it easier for the inserter to put down an item.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In these measurements inserters move items onto an empty perpendicular belt. Values are given for the stack sizes at three different [[inserter capacity bonus (research)|capacity bonus]] levels.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To calculate the throughput for [[Stack inserter]] and [[Stack filter inserter]] at any capacity level, you can use these linearly fitted factors with the belt/chest throughput formula above:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
See the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OzlP2v6P1OGxK1xCFr77aqVfNNEaEKHlA89aSVmqBGw/edit?usp=sharing source spreadsheet] for the corresponding factors for the other inserter types. Their errors are generally well below 1%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Belt to chest===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When picking items from a belt, many more factors come into play besides belt fullness:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* How fast the items move (i.e. if they are queued up on the belt or move at belt speed).&lt;br /&gt;
* Whether the belt is perpendicular to the inserter or approaches it head on.&lt;br /&gt;
* Whether items are on the near or far lane of a perpendicular belt.&lt;br /&gt;
* Whether the belt turns or not, and whether the items are in the inner or outer side of the bend.&lt;br /&gt;
* If the belt is an underground entrance or exit. This shortens the time items are visible to the inserter for pickup.&lt;br /&gt;
* All sorts of intricate timing factors between the inserter and the items on the belt, since the game simulates the arm homing in on every item.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The test setup used below is with a south-to-north inserter taking items from a perpendicular belt with items on the far lane only. The belt is fully compressed and timings are both for items that move at full speed and queued up as much as possible. Values are given for the stack sizes at three different [[inserter capacity bonus (research)|capacity bonus]] levels.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;*)&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; Throughput for basic/fast/express belt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since there are many more factors involved, these measurements exhibit a more complex pattern than chest-to-belt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Boldface cells show for which belt each inserter has the best throughput on each bonus level when items move at belt speed. Higher speed belts mean that inserters have to work harder to catch the fast moving items. The effect is most noticeable for slower inserters and smaller stack sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* When items are queued up the belt type hardly matters, so there is only a single column for that. The exceptions are the stack inserters - for basic transport belts it&#039;s the belt that sets the limit for stack sizes above 4, and there is also a notable difference between fast and express belts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are linearly fitted factors to get the [[Stack inserter]] and [[Stack filter inserter]] throughput at any capacity level, by using the belt/chest throughput formula above:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;*)&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; Since the belt is the limiting factor above stack size 4, these figures are only accurate up to that size. More than that and the throughput is fixed at 6.67 items per second.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;For the common yellow electrical inserter, see [[Inserter]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Inserters&#039;&#039;&#039; are devices which are used to move items over short distances. When placed, they have a fixed direction. They can move items from behind and place them in front of them. By doing this, they can move items from one transport belt to another, but also extract items from, and insert items into machines or storage devices. There are seven types of inserters, all requiring electricity to run (except the Burner Inserter, which burns [[Fuel|fuel]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Types Of Inserters ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
| {{imagelink|burner-inserter|Burner inserter}} || The only [[fuel]]-powered inserter.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| {{imagelink|basic-inserter|Basic inserter}} || The standard electrical inserter.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| {{imagelink|long-handed-inserter|Long handed inserter}} || Capable of inserting and removing items from a greater distance.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| {{imagelink|fast-inserter|Fast inserter}} || Much faster than the Basic inserter.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| {{imagelink|filter-inserter|Filter inserter}} || Variant of the Fast inserter that can filter items by type.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| {{imagelink|stack-inserter|Stack inserter}} || As fast as the Fast inserter but can move many more items at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| {{imagelink|stack_filter_inserter|Stack filter inserter}} || Variant of the Stack inserter that can filter items by type.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mechanics==&lt;br /&gt;
Inserters &#039;&#039;&#039;will&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Pick up&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Items]] off the ground, off of a [[Transport belts|Transport belt]], or from any object that has storage space, including [[Storages/Chests|chests]], [[furnace]]s and [[assembling machine]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Place&#039;&#039;&#039; the item onto the ground, onto a transport belt, or into any object that has storage space.&lt;br /&gt;
* Inserters can place items on all types of conveyor belts.&lt;br /&gt;
* Try to pick up items from all types of belts (as of v0.12 there is no limitation anymore).&lt;br /&gt;
* Inserters will run at slower speeds when starved for energy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inserters will &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
* Pick up any items that can not be inserted into the connected entity.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pick up items into an entity with a full inventory.&lt;br /&gt;
* Place more than one item at a time onto the same ground tile.&lt;br /&gt;
* Place items into a stack limited inventory, beyond the stack limit (red slots).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inserters act differently depending on what they are moving items to/into so as not to monopolize all of the items being picked up. This allows other machines and inserters on the same transport belt to pick up a share of the items. If two inserters are picking up from the same tile, the first placed inserter has priority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insertion Limits==&lt;br /&gt;
Inserters will stop inserting items into certain buildings if they already have enough of that item. For example, if a boiler has 5 or more items of fuel in it, an inserter will not insert additional fuel. When the fuel drops below 5 items, the inserter will continue to insert more fuel, up to the limit of 5 items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is to allow for all machines to receive their share of items. The common limits on insertion are shown in the table below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
! Entity !! Item type !! Inserter limit !! Comment&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[Boiler]]s, [[Burner inserter]]s, [[Furnace]]s || [[Fuel]] || align=&amp;quot;center&amp;quot; | 5 ||&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[Gun turret]]s || Bullet Magazines || align=&amp;quot;center&amp;quot; | 10 || Since v0.8.4. Allows for 100 shots before depleting.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[Assembling machine]]s || Items needed for the recipe || Double the number of items needed in the recipe ||&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[Furnace]]s || Items needed for the recipe || Double the number of items needed in the recipe ||&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[Lab]]s || [[Science pack]]s || Double the number of items needed for one research point ||&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An inserter that takes items from an object containing [[Storage/Stack|stacks]] of items (such as a chest) can overfill the target building due to the [[Inserter item stack size bonus]] research. Overfilling can also happen if  multiple inserters are used to insert items into one building.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Inserters And Transport Belt Interaction ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Transport belts]] have two lanes on which items can travel. Inserters only place items onto one side of the belt. Which side they place it on depends on the orientation of the inserter and the belt, as described below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[File:PlaceOnFarSide.gif|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Inserters will &#039;&#039;&#039;always&#039;&#039;&#039; place the item on the furthest lane.&lt;br /&gt;
{{clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
: [[File:TakeFromNearSide.gif|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Inserters &#039;&#039;&#039;prefer&#039;&#039;&#039; taking items from the nearest lane. If the nearest lane is empty, the inserter will take from the far lane.&lt;br /&gt;
{{clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
: [[File:PlaceOnRightSide.gif|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* If a belt is in the same orientation as the inserter, the item will be placed on the right-hand lane, from the belt&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
{{clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
: [[File:PlaceOnInsideOfCorner.gif|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* If the item is placed on a corner piece, it will be put on the inside of the curve, regardless of orientation.&lt;br /&gt;
{{clear}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Potential Issues ==&lt;br /&gt;
Inserters may have problems picking up items:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* From very fast belts, because the items are moving too quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* From the entry or exit of an underground belt (because the time they have to pick up is shorter)&lt;br /&gt;
* From turning belts if the item is on the inside of the corner&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Inserter Item Stack Size Bonus==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If an inserter moves items from inventory to inventory (for example from an assembler into a chest), or (as of v0.13) from an inventory to a belt, it is able to transport more items at once. The secret behind this is the [[Inserter item stack size bonus]] research.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Power Usage==&lt;br /&gt;
* Electric inserters drain energy even when they are not moving, as idle power&lt;br /&gt;
* The amount of energy used is the same for every movement&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Burner inserter]] does not drain energy when idle, but uses more energy when it is active. It is quite useful for situations where the inserter does not need to move very often.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rotation Speed===&lt;br /&gt;
Convention: 2π rad = 100% of a circle rotation = &#039;&#039;&#039;1 turn&#039;&#039;&#039; (or one full rotation).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: an Inserter doesn&#039;t always need to make full turns. When grabbing from a transport belt, it is slightly faster when grabbing items from the closest lane.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Extension Speed===&lt;br /&gt;
The extension-speed is normally not visible (only when compared to other inserters), but there are measurable speed differences when taking - for example - from the near or the far side of a belt. Also Some mods can alter the pickup and drop locations of inserters, making this stat more relevant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Inserter Throughput==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following is based on [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OzlP2v6P1OGxK1xCFr77aqVfNNEaEKHlA89aSVmqBGw/edit?usp=sharing experimental data] gathered in version 0.15.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inserter throughput between chests and other [[stack|stacks]] is a simple function of stack size and arm speed:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;n&#039;&#039; = Stack size&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;t_arm&#039;&#039; = Time to move the arm back and forth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time per item = &#039;&#039;t_arm&#039;&#039; / &#039;&#039;n&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughput (items/sec) = 1 / Time per item = &#039;&#039;n&#039;&#039; / &#039;&#039;t_arm&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When moving items to or from belts, the time to pick up or put down items also becomes a factor:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;t_item&#039;&#039; = Time to pick up or put down or an item&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;t_cycle&#039;&#039; = Time to complete an arm cycle = &#039;&#039;t_arm&#039;&#039; + &#039;&#039;n&#039;&#039;*&#039;&#039;t_item&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time per item = &#039;&#039;t_cycle&#039;&#039; / &#039;&#039;n&#039;&#039; = &#039;&#039;t_item&#039;&#039; + &#039;&#039;t_arm&#039;&#039; / &#039;&#039;n&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughput (items/sec) = 1 / (&#039;&#039;t_item&#039;&#039; + &#039;&#039;t_arm&#039;&#039; / &#039;&#039;n&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; [https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=9141#p280529 Before 0.15.14], inserters were 1-4% less efficient when moving items from south to north.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chest to belt===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughput going from chest to belt depends on how full the belt is and how the items are spaced, i.e. if spaces are large enough to fill with items. Underground entrances and exits also makes it easier for the inserter to put down an item.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In these measurements inserters move items onto an empty perpendicular belt. Values are given for the stack sizes at three different [[inserter capacity bonus (research)|capacity bonus]] levels.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To calculate the throughput for [[Stack inserter]] and [[Stack filter inserter]] at any capacity level, you can use these linearly fitted factors with the belt/chest throughput formula above:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Belt to chest===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When picking items from a belt, many more factors come into play besides belt fullness:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* How fast the items move (i.e. if they are queued up on the belt or move at belt speed).&lt;br /&gt;
* Whether the belt is perpendicular to the inserter or approaches it head on.&lt;br /&gt;
* Whether items are on the near or far lane of a perpendicular belt.&lt;br /&gt;
* Whether the belt turns or not, and whether the items are in the inner or outer side of the bend.&lt;br /&gt;
* If the belt is an underground entrance or exit. This shortens the time items are visible to the inserter for pickup.&lt;br /&gt;
* All sorts of intricate timing factors between the inserter and the items on the belt, since the game simulates the arm homing in on every item.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The test setup used below is with a south-to-north inserter taking items from a perpendicular belt with items on the far lane only. The belt is fully compressed and timings are both for items that move at full speed and queued up as much as possible. Values are given for the stack sizes at three different [[inserter capacity bonus (research)|capacity bonus]] levels.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;*)&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; Throughput for basic/fast/express belt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since there are many more factors involved, these measurements exhibit a more complex pattern than chest-to-belt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Boldface cells show for which belt each inserter has the best throughput on each bonus level when items move at belt speed. Higher speed belts mean that inserters have to work harder to catch the fast moving items. The effect is most noticeable for slower inserters and smaller stack sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* When items are queued up the belt type hardly matters, so there is only a single column for that. The exceptions are the stack inserters - for basic transport belts it&#039;s the belt that sets the limit for stack sizes above 4, and there is also a notable difference between fast and express belts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are linearly fitted factors to get the [[Stack inserter]] and [[Stack filter inserter]] throughput at any capacity level, by using the belt/chest throughput formula above:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;*)&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; Since the belt is the limiting factor above stack size 4, these figures are only accurate up to that size. More than that and the throughput is fixed at 6.67 items per second.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Electric furnaces&#039;&#039;&#039; are the third and last tier of furnaces. As their name implies, they use [[electricity]] rather than [[fuel]] to operate, removing the need for a fuel belt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Electric furnaces smelt items at the same speed as a [[Steel Furnace]], and also have two slots for [[Module|modules]]. However, they are slightly larger than the other two tiers of furnaces; they occupy a 3x3 area instead of a 2x2 area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As electric furnaces consume a substantial amount of power, [[Module#Efficiency Module|Efficiency modules]] are a good option.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Steel Furnaces&#039;&#039;&#039; are the second-tier of furnaces. Compared to [[Stone furnace]]s, they smelt at double the speed and therefore are a more efficient use of the given fuel. Steel Furnaces are comparable to [[Electric furnace]]s in terms of smelt speed, however the latter can make use of modules (as well as [[Electric system | Electricity]]) to further enhance the furnace&#039;s capabilities. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Steel Furnaces&#039;&#039;&#039; can replace [[Stone furnace]]s without mining the [[Stone furnace]] first. This can be done by clicking on the [[Stone furnace]] with the &#039;&#039;&#039;Steel Furnace&#039;&#039;&#039; in the players hand. This will also move all items in the stone furnace to the new furnace.&lt;br /&gt;
