For the article encompassing all inserter types, see Inserters.

The inserter can be used to transfer items between entities such as transport belts and stone furnaces. It is the most basic electric inserter.

Unlike the fast inserter, the inserter is not fast enough to pick up items moving on the far side of a curving express transport belts and turbo transport belts.

The inserter is notable in that it is used in the creation of logistic science pack, so players must create an automated inserter assembly line. The basic inserter is also used in the creation of both the fast inserter and the long inserter, and serves as the base item for all electric inserters.

History

• 2.0.7:
  • All inserters now have filter option.
