Базовые знания
Задание: доставить предметы от Буровых установок к Печке.
- Выберите конвейер из вашего инвентаря
- Двигая конвейер нажимая "R" направите его в правильном направлении.
- Установите конвейер (левой кнопкой мыши)
- Передвигайте конвейер зажав левую кнопку мыши: конвейер будет последовательно устанавливатся.
Переустановка
Если вы:
- Установили конвейер в неправильном направлении,то очистите вашу руку и нажатием "R" измените направление.
- Установили конвейер в неправильном месте, то удалите его при помощи правой кнопки мыши.

Turns / Bends
Turns will always keep the alignment of items. Be aware; the inner side of the turn moves items at half the speed, meaning turns are likely to be bottlenecks. Using faster belts at the bend is recommended to maintain capacity of your network.

Belt Lanes: using two sides
Belts have two lanes that can be used for transporting. This allows for either a double flow of one material, or with some careful setup, transporting two different materials on the same belt.

Speed, Density and Througput: About finding the bottlenecks
This is a mistake often made - even by advanced players. But first we need to introduce some definitions:
- Speed
- How fast does a belt move. This influences of course the throughput. The speed is easy to calculate: Basic transport belt is the slowest, the Fast transport belt is twice as fast as the basic and the Express transport belt is 3x the speed of basic.
- Density
- How tight are the items put on the belts. See Transport belts/Optimizing for tips, how to keep the density as tight as possible. See Transport belts/Physics about how dense you can put the items on the belts.
- Throughput
- This is speed * density. The maximum density on all belts are nearly equal (indeed the density on faster belts is lower, see Transport Belt physics).
This formula
Throughput = Speed * density
gives you two opportunities to enhance the throughput:
- More speed
- more density.
More speed is expensive (see optimizing with parallel belts), so more density is in many cases much easier to obtain. The way is in most cases, to find the bottleneck.
The bottleneck can be seen quite easy, if there is a part of a belt, where the items sometimes stop or don't move (or don't move fast) at maximum density and suddenly they come to a point, where this "stop and go" releases itself and they run free and are not so tight on the belt. This is in most cases the exact place, where you need to optimize your belts. It doesn't make sense to optimize much before or after this point, because if you fix it, you will find the next bottleneck anywhere else.
Side inserts (Crossings)
When belts join together at a t-junction, items are inserted from the side and they stay on the side of the belt they came from.
