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.

insert not more than needed

  • Boiler: place up to 5 pieces of Fuel into a boiler, burner inserter, or furnace before stopping.
  • Gun turret: place up to 10 Magazines (since v0.8.4).
  • Assembling machines/Lab: place up to twice the items needed to make one of the specified item.
  • Furnaces: for the fuel like burner, for the processed items like assembly.

Placing

  • Transport belts: Inserters will always place the item on the further lane.

Types

Item Total raw Max power Speed (secs.) Range (tiles) Special
