Copper cables are very important for manufacturing circuits and electrical connections.
Copper cable can also be used to connect power poles. Select the Copper cable from your inventory, and connect it with a left click to two [[Electric network#Distribution|Electric poles]]. This way, you can manually wire some of the more complex systems, like [[Power_production/Dealing_with_priorities|making steam engines work only when accumulators are empty.]]

== Optimization ==

* You can have a maximum of three [[assembling machine 1]] to feed onto the same side of a [[Transport belt]], any more and they won't unload after the third one.
* You can fully load a [[Transport belt]] with six [[assembling machine 1]], three feeding to each side.
* Feeding directly onto the main running belt, the third [[assembling machine 1]] will not achieve full production as it waits for a gap on the belt. Having a spur solves this problem.

== Ratios ==
Copper wire is used nearly solely for [[Electronic circuit]]s and [[Advanced circuit]]s. Note, that one [[Copper plate]] is needed to craft two wires. This expansion is a problem because belts are normally not able to handle that load.

There are a number of good designs to handle this without belts:

'''Iron gear wheels''' are intermediate products crafted from two [[Iron plate]]s. They are very important for many basic and advanced recipes.

== Optimization ==

* One [[Fast inserter]] is not sufficient to feed an [[Assembling machine 1]] without a slight pause in production.

Making a return in 0.13, the filter inserter allows specifying what items it will move. You can specify the 5 types of items the inserter will move by using the left click menu. It has the same speed as a [[Fast inserter]] and a range of 1 tile.

'''Science Pack 3''', also referred to as "blue potion", is a tier 3 [[science pack]] consumed by [[lab]]s to [[research]] [[technologies]].

Theoretical Efficiency: 16 [[advanced circuit]] factories + 10 [[battery]] plants + 1 [[filter inserter]] factory + 35 [[steel plate]] furnaces → 24 [[lab]]s
