Basics

File:Inserter.jpg

Inserters are the fundamental structure of a factory. They take an item from behind it and place it in front of it. Inserters can pick up items off the ground, off a transport belt, or from any object that can hold items (eg. chest, furnace), and place them onto the ground, on a transport belt, or into any object that can hold items.

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.
