< Transport network
Inserters are the fundamental structure of a factory. They look and work like a robot-arm and take items from behind and place them in front of it.
Inserters will
- pick up Items off the Ground, off a Transport belt, or from any object that has stacks (eg. Storages/Chests, Furnaces, Assembling machines)
- place the moved item onto the ground, on a transport belt, or into any object that has stacks.
Inserter mechanics
Inserters will act differently depending on what they are moving items to/into so as not to monopolize all of the items being picked up and allow other machines and inserters on the same transport belt to have items. [1]
- Boilers/Burner Items: Inserters will only place up to 5 pieces of coal into a boiler, burner inserter, or furnace before stopping.
- Assembly Machines: Inserters will place up to twice the items needed to make one of the specified item.
- Transport belts: Inserters will always place the item on the further lane.

| Item | Total raw | Max power | Speed | Range | Special |

40 W (electric) | 2 | 1 | Inserter configurable for which Items to move. Removed in 0.7.2. See Smart inserter. |
(Can be removed from wiki after v0.9)
Special behavior
- Inserters/Interaction with other Entities
- Inserters/Instead of belt: use it instead of a belt
- Inserters/Reduce power consumption
- Research:Item Cargo Size Update: works only for transport from stack to stack
- Inserters:Focus/Grep-Points
- Inserters/Priority
- Storages/Sorting (extended filtering)
