| [[File:transport-belt-intro-3.jpg|300px|thumb|Transport belts being used to move iron ore from a mining drill to an inserter, which is then placing the ore into a furnace]] | |
| The Transport network consists of [[Transport belts]], [[Splitters]], [[Underground belts]], [[Inserters]] and [[Storages]].
| |
| | |
| [[Transport belts]], [[underground belts]] and [[splitters]] are used to direct and control the flow of items around your factory. [[Inserters]] place or remove items from belts, chests and production facilities. [[Storages/Chests|Chests]] can be used to store completed items or as a buffer in your production line.
| |
| | |
| In most of the cases inserters must be used to place or remove things from the transport belts. However [[Mining drill]]s place items they produce directly on to the transport belt - as you can see in the example on the right.

| == Transport belts ==
| |
| The [[Transport belts]] where the first elements of this class of entities, so the whole class is called so, even if the [[Underground belts]] and [[Splitters]] work quite differently. ("moving ground" might hit the meaning better)

| |
| Inserters will always place items on the far side of a belt, and will prefer to take items from the closest side.

| == [[Storages]] ==
| |
| A storage is used to store [[Items|items]]. Many things can be used to store items: Furnaces, assemblies and any entity, that has [[Storages/Stack|stacks]], like [[Vehicles/Car|cars]], but even the [[Transport belts|belts]] or the [[Ground]] can be seen as storage. But in conjunction with the Transport network we mean the most efficient way, which is using [[Storages/Chests|Chests]]:
