Space Age expansion exclusive feature.

This article is about the new inserter introduced in Space Age. For the base game inserter with large transfer abilities, see bulk inserter.

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 the 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 of all inserters. Unlike all other inserters the hand of the stack inserter must be full before it will swing. Its unique function is the ability to stack items 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.

Trivia

• When first mentioned in FFF #393, the stack inserter was instead called the "bulk inserter". However, in response to feedback from the audience, the developers announced in the following FFF that its name would be swapped with that of what was previously known as a "stack inserter", as this naming was deemed more appropiate.
