Object description

Space Age expansion exclusive feature.

Increases the transport belt vertical stack size by 1, up to 4. Only stack inserters, big mining drills and recyclers can create belt stacks. All inserters can pick individual items from stacks. Items stacked in this way do not become single "bundled" items. These stacks exist only on belts.

The prerequisite Stack inserter (research) increases stack size on belts from 1 to 2. Transport belt capacity research increases the stack size on belts to 3 and then 4.

Technology	Cost	Effect

Belt throughput

Belt stack size allows more items to stack on a belt, therefore increasing maximum belt throughput.

Belt type	Base rate (stack size 1)	Stack inserter researched (stack size 2)	Belt capacity 1 researched (stack size 3)	Belt capacity 2 researched (stack size 4)
Transport belt	15 items /s	30 items /s	45 items /s	60 items /s
Fast transport belt	30 items /s	60 items /s	90 items /s	120 items /s
Express transport belt	45 items /s	90 items /s	135 items /s	180 items /s
