Inserter

TAC: Added mechanics section and formatted page

== Basics ==
[[File:inserter.jpg|350px]]

Inserters are the fundamental structure of a factory.
They take an item from behind it and place it in front of it.
Inserters can pick up items off the ground, off a transport belt, or from any object that can hold items (eg. chest, furnace), and place them onto the ground, on a transport belt, or into any object that can hold items.

=== Inserter Mechanics ===
Inserters will act differently depending on what they are moving items to/into so as not to monopolize all of the items being picked up and allow other machines and inserters on the same transport belt to have items. [http://kovarex.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=22#p71]

*Boilers/Burner Items: Inserters will only place up to 5 pieces of coal into a boiler, burner inserter, or furnace before stopping.
*Assembly Machines: Inserters will place up to twice the items needed to make one of the specified item.

== Types ==
=== Burner inserter ===
[[File:burner-inserter.jpg|150px]]

* Low tech version of the basic inserter.
* Speed: Normal
* Power source: Fuel (wood/coal) 

Note: Manual refilling is required, but no [[Electric network|electricity]] is needed, so it is useful mainly in the early game. 

=== Inserter ===
[[File:basic-inserter.jpg|150px]]

* Speed: Normal
* Power source: [[Electric network|Electricity]] 

=== Long-Handed Inserter ===
[[File:long-handed-inserter.jpg|300px]]

* Longer reach (Can reach one tile further)
* Speed: Normal
* Power source: [[Electric network|Electricity]] 

As seen in the picture, the furnace needs to get coal from the farther [[Transport belt|transport belt]], and the long-handed inserter is able to reach the farther transport belt. 

=== Fast Inserter ===
[[File:fast-inserter.jpg|150px]]

* More expensive
* Speed: Fast
* Power source: [[Electric network|Electricity]] 

=== Filter Inserter ===
[[File:filter-inserter.jpg|250px]]

* Has the ability to pick up only specified items
* Speed: Fast
* Power source: [[Electric network|Electricity]] 

=== Smart Inserter ===
[[File:smart-inserter.jpg|100px]]

* Similar to the filter inserter and can be connected to [[Circuit network|circuit networks]] to be set up to work only under certain conditions.
* Speed: Fast
* Power source: [[Electric network|Electricity]]
