	~~[[File:transport-belt-intro-3.jpg\|300px\|thumb\|Transport belts are used to move iron ore from a mining drill to an inserter, which is will then place the ore into a furnace]]~~
	~~The Transport network consists of:~~
	* [[Belt transport system]]
	** [[Transport belts]]
	**[[Splitters]]
	**[[Underground belts]]
	* [[Inserters]]
	* [[Chests]]

	~~The Transport Network is the primary means of moving items from one area to another. It is an essential component of any factory in the game.~~
	~~== [[Belt transport system]] ==~~

	~~The [[Belt transport system]] is the main means of transport in a base. It consists of 3 elements:~~
	* [[Transport belts]]
	* [[Underground belts]]
	* [[Splitters]]
	~~These come in 3 tiers of varying speed:~~

	~~As said, [[Storage/Stack\|stacks]] are needed to store items. Entities with stacks are~~

	* [[Furnace]]s,
	* [[Assembly\|Assemblies]] or even the
	* [[Car]] or [[Diesel locomotive]]/[[Cargo wagon]] but also
	* [[Gun turret]]s
	* [[Robots]] and [[Inserters]] (but only very small)
	* your [[Inventory]] (plus the quick bar, the weapon bar, and what you have in hand).

	~~== [[Storage]] ==~~

	[[Storage]] is a concept about '''storing enormous masses of items'''. Under normal circumstances, you don't need to store many items. Especially in the beginning of the game every item counts and that means you should try to keep the distances short (belts store a serious amount of items) and don't use chests so much. Instead, you should '''keep the items in flow''', pass them as fast as possible/affordable from production step to the next step to create higher leveled items, instead of storing them.

	~~So, when speaking about storages, we mean '''concepts which are needed to keep the production in flow'''. Some of them only work together with [[Logistic network]]. Most used for:~~

	* [[Railway network/Train station]]
	* [[Storage/Production buffers]]
	* [[Storage/Handling overproduction]]
