Object description
Increases the transport belt stack size by 1, up to 4. Only stack inserters, big mining drills and recyclers can create belt stacks.
Stack Inserter research introduces a baseline stack size of 2, doubling the throughput compared to non-stacked belts. There are two levels of Transport Belt Capacity research, each of which increases the stack size of Stack inserters by 1.
Transport Belt Capacity 2 also increases the hand size of non-bulk and non-stack inserters by 1.
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 |
| turbo transport belt |
