Bulk inserter

Stack inserter/infobox

The Stack inserter is an electric inserter that can move more items at the same time. It was introduced in game version 0.13, replacing the Smart inserter that had been made unnecessary by changes to circuit and logistics functionality.

Moving at the speed of the Fast inserter, it transfers multiple items per cycle between containers to give it a material flow advantage at the cost of additional power consumption.

Stack size

The stack size is increased by the Inserter item stack size bonus technology.
