 | == Basic ==
  |  | 
 | '''Task''': make a steady flow of items from your [[Mining drill]]s to the [[Furnace]]s.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | * Select a belt by taking a [[Storages/Stack]] from your [[Inventory]]
  |  | 
 | * rotate the belt by pressing "R" until the wanted direction is reached
  |  | 
 | * place the belt (by default right mouse)
  |  | 
 | * keep pressing right mouse and move into the belts direction: the build continues
  |  |

 | === Combining belts ===
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | ==== Turns ====
  |  | 
 | [[File:transport-belt-two-lines-2.jpg|thumb|256px]]
  |  | 
 | Turns will always '''[[Transport belts/Turns|turns]]''' keep the alignment of items. The inner side of the turn moves items at half the speed, meaning turns are likely to be bottlenecks. Using faster belts at the [[Transport belts/Turns|turns]] is recommended.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | See also
  |  | 
 | * [[Transport belts/Turns]] for details about turns.
  |  | 
 | * [[Transport belts/Optimizing]] about other ways to speed up this bottleneck.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | ==== Belt Lanes: using two sides ====
  |  | 
 | [[File:transport-belt-two-lines-1.jpg|thumb|256px]]
  |  | 
 | Belts have '''[[Transport belts/Belt lane|two lanes]]''' that can be used for transporting.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | See also
  |  | 
 | * [[Transport belts/Belt lane]] for more about usage of the two lanes of a belt.
  |  | 
 | * [[Transport belts/Optimizing]]
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | ==== Side inserts (Crossings) ====
  |  | 
 | [[File:transport-belt-two-lines-3.jpg|thumb|256px]]
  |  | 
 | When belts are crossing, items are [[Transport belts/Side insert|inserted from the side]] and they stay on the side of the belt they came from.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | See also
  |  | 
 | * [[Transport belts/Side insert]] how to use it efficiently.

 | === Other Usages ===
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | * [[Transport belts/Speedup Walking]]: Walk/run in belt direction add the speed of the belt to your own.
  |  | 
 | * [[Transport belts/Defense]]: Use the Express belt to slow down the enemies
