The '''stack inserter''' is an electric inserter that can move multiple items at the same time. Moving at the speed of the [[fast inserter]] and [[bulk inserter]], like bulk inserter it transfers multiple items per cycle to give it a material flow advantage at the cost of additional power consumption.


When transferring between chests or [[cargo wagon]]s it picks up and drops off the entire stack of items instantly. When picking up from or dropping off items onto a [[transport belt]] a stack inserter needs to grab or drop each item individually, increasing the time between arm swings and lowering its potential throughput. In these cases, however, the stack inserter still has higher throughput than a [[fast inserter]] because it swings back and forth less often. The throughput from [[Inserters#Chest_to_chest|chest to chest]] for a fully upgraded stack inserter is 27.69 items per second, but only 13.85 items/s from [[Inserters#Chest_to_belt|chest to express belt]].
It has the highest throughput and hand capacity from all inserters. Unlike all other inserters hand of stack inserter must be full before it will swing. Its unique function is ability to put items in stacks on a [[Belt transport system|belt]], drastically increasing throughput of belts by up to 4 times.

* When first mentioned in [https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-393 FFF #393], the stack inserter was instead called the "bulk inserter". However, in response to feedback from the audience, the developers announced in [https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-394 the following FFF] that its name would be swapped with that of [[bulk inserter|what was previously known as a "stack inserter"]], as this naming was deemed more appropiate.

The stack inserter is an electric inserter that can move multiple items at the same time. Moving at the speed of the fast inserter and bulk inserter, like bulk inserter it transfers multiple items per cycle to give it a material flow advantage at the cost of additional power consumption.

It has the highest throughput and hand capacity from all inserters. Unlike all other inserters hand of stack inserter must be full before it will swing. Its unique function is ability to put items in stacks on a belt, drastically increasing throughput of belts by up to 4 times.

Stack size

The stack size is increased by the Inserter capacity bonus (research) technology. The stack size can be overridden to set how many items it picks up at one time, with the maximum being the highest research level currently unlocked.
