'''Rede de circuitos''' são feitas usando [[Red wire/pt-br|fio vermelho]] or [[green wire/pt-br|fio verde]], e habilita o controle dos recebedores de sinais, baseado nas informações enviada para a rede pelos enviadores de sinais. A maioria dos enviadores de sinais são os dispostivos de armazenamento, e envia sua informação em um canal específico, baseado no item ou líquido que o dispositivo de armazenamento contém. Cada rede de circuito contém um canal para cada tipo de item, assim como 48 [[#Sinais virtuais|sinais virtuais]] que se agem como canais definidos pelo usuário. '<span style="color:#FF6666">Tudo</span>', '<span style="color:#99FF99">Qualquer um</span>' e '<span style="color:#FFFF99">Cada um</span>'  também estão disponíveis como opção.

== Uso ==
=== Enviando informação ===
Senders broadcast the amount of items or fluids they contain or other data definable by the player. Each amount is broadcast as a numeric value on a 'channel' corresponding to the item.  For example, a Storage Tank containing 1000 Crude Oil will broadcast 1000 on the Crude Oil channel.


The channels are separated from each other, so each network can simultaneously carry a number for each item and fluid in the game, and for each of the extra user-defined channels (digits 0-9, letters A-Z, and 9 different colors). All unused channels have the value zero.
'''Inserters''' são dispositivos que são usados para mover itens por curtas distâncias. Quando colocados, eles têm uma direção fixa. Eles podem mover itens por trás e colocá-los na frente deles. Ao fazer isso, eles podem mover itens de uma esteira de transporte para outra, mas também extrair itens de - e inserir itens em - máquinas ou dispositivos de armazenamento.


Multiple broadcasts of the same item or fluid are additive: If there are two connected Storage Tanks with 1000 Crude Oil each, the value of the Crude Oil channel within the network will be 2000.
== Tipos de insersores ==


All wires of the same color which are connected together by junctions form a network, i.e. they will pass their signals to each other.  For example, if two red wires are connected to the same combinator input, each wire receives the content from the other.  This can result in feedback if care is not taken; see Feedback (under [[#Combinators|arithmetic combinator]], below) for discussion.

Numbers are in the signed 32 bit integer range, i.e. from -2147483648 to 2147483647 inclusive, and are encoded in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two%27s_complement two's complement representation]. The numbers wrap around on overflow, so e.g. 2147483647 + 10 becomes -2147483639. When entering a number in a combinator it can appear to exceed the 32 bit limit until the GUI is closed, at which point the number will overflow/underflow. [https://forums.factorio.com/58419]
 
=== Controle de dispositivo ===
Receivers can use broadcast information, in most cases to enable/disable the device. They can either compare results between different channels, or compare a channel to a specific value.
 
Receiving devices sum all signals from each wire connected to them, even red and green wires. For example, if an inserter is connected to a red wire carrying a signal for 20 copper plates and a green wire with 10 copper plates, the input signal set for that receiver will be 30 copper plates.
 
Multiple wires of the same color will share & sum their signals. For example, 3 chests A, B and C connected in a row (A -> B -> C) with green wire will output the sum of their contents along any green wire connected to any of the chests. However, if a red wire connects chest A to an inserter, that inserter will only be given the contents of A as its input signal.
 
== Dispositivo ==
 
Each device that is able to be connected to a circuit network has a [[File:Circuit network panel.png]] icon located in the top right corner of its info pane. Clicking this icon will display the available circuit network options for that device (note: a red or green wire must be connected, otherwise the message "not connected" will display instead). Clicking the [[File:Logistic network panel.png]] icon next to it, the device can be connected to a logistic network if in range of one, which also allows conditions to be set.
 
Conditions can be set for both circuit (signals of red and green wires are summed) and logistic network, which will together act as a logical AND.
 
The following devices can be connected to a circuit network:

==Mecânica==
O que Insersores '''irá''':
* Pegar itens do chão, de [[Transport belts/pt-br|esteiras]] ou de qualquer objeto que tenha espaço de armazenamento, incluindo [[Chests/pt-br|baús]], [[Furnace/pt-br|fornalhas]] e {{L|Assembling machine}}.
* Colocar o item no chão, em uma esteira ou em qualquer objeto que tenha espaço de armazenamento.
* Funcionar em velocidades mais lentas quando estiver sem energia.
* Pegar quantos itens o seu [[Inserter capacity bonus (research)/pt-br|tamanho da pilha]] permitir de uma só vez, se eles não tiverem que esperar muito tempo para buscá-los.
 
Insersores '''não farão''':
* Pegar qualquer item que não pode ser inserido em uma entidade adjacente.
* Pegar qualquer item se a entidade adjacente for um blueprint.
* Pegar um item para colocar em uma entidade com o inventário cheio.
* Place more than one item at a time onto the same ground tile.
* Place items into an entity that can not hold them, for example due to [[Stack#Filtered_stacks|filtered]] or [[Stack#Stack_limitation|limited slots]].
* Fill up the entire target inventory of [[boiler]]s, [[nuclear reactor]]s, [[:Category:Producers|production building]]s, [[furnace]]s, and [[turret]]s.
 
If two or more inserters are picking up from the same tile, the inserter who can grab the items the fastest will grab them first. Besides faster inserters, this favors inserters taking from the inner lane of a transport belt.
 
=== Insertion limits ===
Depending on where an inserter is moving items, it does not always fill up the entire target inventory. This allows other inserters taking from the same transport belt to pick up their share of the items. For example, if a boiler has 5 or more items of fuel in it, an inserter will not insert additional fuel. This allows the other fuel to travel further down the transport belt. When the fuel drops below 5 items, the inserter will resume inserting fuel, up to the limit of 5 items.

An inserter that has a higher [[inserter capacity bonus (research)|inserter capacity bonus]] than 1 can overfill the target building, due to the inserter picking up a higher amount of items than needed. Overfilling can also occur if  multiple inserters are used to insert items into one building.
 
=== Inserters and transport belts ===
[[Transport belts]] have two lanes on which items can travel. Inserters only place items onto one side of the belt, either the far side from the inserter's perspective or if the belt is going the same or the opposite direction as the inserter the right side from the belt's perspective.

|-
| style="width:320px;" | If the belt is perpendicular to the inserter, inserters '''prefer''' taking items from the nearest lane. If the nearest lane is empty, the inserter will take from the far lane. If the belt is the same/opposite orientation of the inserter or a curve, the inserter '''prefers''' taking from the left lane, from the belt's perspective. If the left lane is empty it will take from the right lane.

|}
 
=== Potential issues ===
Inserters may have problems picking up items:
 
* From very fast belts, because the items are moving too quickly.
* From the entry or exit of an underground belt (because the time they have to pick up is shorter)
* From turning belts if the item is on the inside of the corner
 
== Power usage ==
* Electric inserters drain energy even when they are not moving, as idle power
* The amount of energy used is the same for every turn
* The [[burner inserter]] does not drain energy when idle, but uses more energy when it is active.

== Physical network structure ==
'''Note:''' These numbers come directly from the [https://github.com/wube/factorio-data/tree/master/base/prototypes/entity factorio-data github repository].
A circuit network consists only of those devices connected together with the same color wire. Wire can be strung directly from device to device, or across any intervening power poles. Wire length is limited by its previous connection.


Note that each connected set of wires forms a separate network.  For example, it's entirely possible to have four red-wire networks and three green-wire networks. If red and green wires happen to touch the same power pole or device, the red and green networks will remain separate and will not link up. However, two red cables or two green cables will link if they touch. Use different colored cables to separate networks in close proximity.
===Rotation Speed===
Convention: 2π rad = 100% of a circle rotation = '''1 turn''' (or one full rotation).


* To connect wires or cables to a power pole, simply click on one entity, then on the base of the power pole.
Note: an Inserter doesn't always need to make full turns. When grabbing from a transport belt, it is slightly faster when grabbing items from the closest lane.
* To erase a wire or cable connection, place the same color wire over an existing connection. You don't get the wire/cable back.
* To remove '''all''' connections from a power pole, shift-click on the pole.  The first shift-click will remove all electrical connections, and the second will remove all red and green wires. You don't get the wires back.
* When connecting to a [[arithmetic combinator]] or [[decider combinator]], take care to connect the wire to the correct input or output side. Use "Show details" mode to see the orientation of the combinator.
* Hovering the mouse cursor over an item will highlight all wires which connect to the item.
* Hovering the mouse cursor over a power pole which is part of a network will display the signals on its network. Some items like combinators will also display their input and output signals when hovered over.


== Combinators ==
===Extension Speed===
Combinators can function as both receiving and sending devices and allow more advanced functions to be used on a circuit network.
The extension-speed is normally not visible (only when compared to other inserters), but there are measurable speed differences when taking - for example - from the near or the far side of a belt. Also Some mods can alter the pickup and drop locations of inserters, making this stat more relevant.


*The [[constant combinator]] broadcasts up to 15 values on any of the channels for whatever networks it is connected to.  (You cannot currently specify whether a value should be on the red or green channel; if you need different values, use two combinators, one for each color wire.)  You can use any item channel or any of the [[#Virtual signals|virtual signal]] channels.
==Inserter Throughput==
**Note that using two of the 15 slots to broadcast values on the '''same''' channel is the same as broadcasting the sum of the two values from one slot.
*The [[arithmetic combinator]] performs arithmetic operations on input values and broadcasts the result to the specified output channel.  The input and output channels can be any item channel or any of the virtual signal channels.
** Connecting: The arithmetic combinator connects to a red or green network on its '''input''' side (the terminals are set into the main body and look like spark plugs) and performs an arithmetic calculation which is broadcast into the specified channel on its '''output''' side (the output wires appear to stretch out a bit from the body of the device).
** Feedback: Note that the input network and the output network '''are not the same network'''.  Connecting the output network back to the input network will result in a feedback loop.  For example, adding 1 to the value for copper plates and broadcasting it as copper plates is an action that results in an infinite loop if output is connected back to input.  The value for copper plates will rapidly (but not instantly) shoot upward. (The rate at which it climbs is determined by the current tick rate.) This technique can be combined with decider combinator logic to make electronic clocks, gates, and other systems; see [[Combinator Tutorial]] for advanced techniques.
** Each:  This combinator can use the 'Each' signal for both input and output, in which case '''all''' non-zero input channels will have the combinator's operation performed and broadcast on the output side.  Having Each signals for input and output and using a non-changing operation (like adding zero) is equivalent to having a 'one-way' wire; all the information from the input network is copied to the output network, but the reverse is not true.
**Multi-network: The arithmetic combinator can be joined to both red and green networks on the input side and will sum their inputs.
*The [[decider combinator]] functions much like an arithmetic combinator, but is designed to compare values. Essentially, it is a conditional. In terms of connecting, feedback, and the Each signal it functions as specified above.  In addition, it can handle the Everything and Anything signals, and performs more complex functions than summing when attached to multiple networks.  See the [[decider combinator]] page for more details on how to use this.


== Sinais virtuais ==
The following is based on experimental data from [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q4hxL69qrK3qeEKU8aDkuwM3gJy6I2dJ4FYSs-FQUpI/edit?usp=sharing 0.18].   
[[File:Virtual Signals dialog box.png|thumb|Virtual Signals available for use in the circuit network]]
Most of the 0.18 experimental data was gathered using the following circuit blueprint to measure the exact tick difference between inserter swings. A lot of the data on this page (specifically the belt to chest data) relies heavily on the conditions of the setup on which the measurements are done. If your setup differs from the ones tested on this page, you can use the following blueprint to do the measurements yourself.
Virtual signals are special non-item signals. Other than the three logic signals, virtual signals do not behave differently from item signals.


48 virtual signals can be sent over a network. They include the digits zero through nine, the letters A through Z, a check-mark, dot and info icon, and the colors red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan, white, gray and black.

Three of the virtual signals cannot be sent over a network but apply special logic to multiple signals.


==== Everything ====
'''Note:''' Experimental data from 0.18
''<span style="color:#FF6666">Everything</span>'' can be used on the left side in conditionals. The condition will be true when the condition is true for each input signal. The condition is also true if there are no signals. This means that the ''everything'' signal behaves as [[:Wikipedia:universal quantification|universal quantification]].


The output of a [[decider combinator]] may also use ''everything'', unless the input is set to ''each''. When used, the combinator will output signal on every channel with non-zero input as long as the condition is true; the value will either be the input value or 1, depending on the corresponding setting.

==== Anything ====
===Chest to belt===
''<span style="color:#99FF99">Anything</span>'' can be used on the left side of conditions. It will be false when there are no inputs. The condition will be true when the condition is true for at least one signal. This means the ''anything'' signal behaves as [[:Wikipedia:existential quantification|existential quantification]].


==== Each ====
Throughput going from chest to belt depends on how full the belt is. An inserter will not put down an item on a belt that have items back-to-back (aka full compression) - it waits until there is a gap. However, if the gap is narrower than the item then the items upstream on the belt will stop to make room for the item being inserted. The direction of the belt compared to the inserter does not matter however.
''<span style="color:#FFFF99">Each</span>'' can only be used in left input side and output of [[decider combinator|decider]] and [[arithmetic combinator|arithmetic]] combinators. The signal can only be used as an output when also used as an input. When used in both the input and output, it makes a combinator perform its action on each input signal individually. The combinator will output the sum of each of the actions if only used in the input.

The logistic network used by [[logistic robot]]s is essentially a third network (a wireless one), along with the green and red wired networks. The logistic network is based on proximity to a central [[roboport]].


Some devices can also be connected to the logistic network. If a device has conditions set for circuit and for logistic network, it will become activated if both conditions are true.

===Belt to chest (perpendicular)===
 
'''Note:''' Experimental data from 0.18
 
When picking items from a belt, many more factors come into play besides belt fullness:
 
* How fast the items move (i.e. if they are queued up on the belt or move at belt speed).
* Whether the belt is perpendicular to the inserter or approaches it head on.
* Whether items are on the near or far lane of a perpendicular belt.
* Whether the belt turns or not, and whether the items are in the inner or outer side of the bend.
* If the belt is an underground entrance or exit. This shortens the time items are visible to the inserter for pickup.
* All sorts of intricate timing factors between the inserter and the items on the belt, since the game simulates the arm homing in on every item.


See the [[logistic network]] and [[roboport]] articles for more information.
The test setup used below is with an inserter taking items from a perpendicular belt with items on the far lane only. The belt is fully compressed and timings are both for items that move at full speed and queued up as much as possible. Values are given for the stack sizes at three different [[inserter capacity bonus (research)|capacity bonus]] levels.

Para o insersor comum amarelo, veja Inserter.

Inserters são dispositivos que são usados para mover itens por curtas distâncias. Quando colocados, eles têm uma direção fixa. Eles podem mover itens por trás e colocá-los na frente deles. Ao fazer isso, eles podem mover itens de uma esteira de transporte para outra, mas também extrair itens de - e inserir itens em - máquinas ou dispositivos de armazenamento.

Mecânica

O que Insersores irá:

  • Pegar itens do chão, de esteiras ou de qualquer objeto que tenha espaço de armazenamento, incluindo baús, fornalhas e Assembling machine.
  • Colocar o item no chão, em uma esteira ou em qualquer objeto que tenha espaço de armazenamento.
  • Funcionar em velocidades mais lentas quando estiver sem energia.
  • Pegar quantos itens o seu tamanho da pilha permitir de uma só vez, se eles não tiverem que esperar muito tempo para buscá-los.

Insersores não farão:

  • Pegar qualquer item que não pode ser inserido em uma entidade adjacente.
  • Pegar qualquer item se a entidade adjacente for um blueprint.
  • Pegar um item para colocar em uma entidade com o inventário cheio.
  • Place more than one item at a time onto the same ground tile.
  • Place items into an entity that can not hold them, for example due to filtered or limited slots.
  • Fill up the entire target inventory of boilers, nuclear reactors, production buildings, furnaces, and turrets.

If two or more inserters are picking up from the same tile, the inserter who can grab the items the fastest will grab them first. Besides faster inserters, this favors inserters taking from the inner lane of a transport belt.

Insertion limits

Depending on where an inserter is moving items, it does not always fill up the entire target inventory. This allows other inserters taking from the same transport belt to pick up their share of the items. For example, if a boiler has 5 or more items of fuel in it, an inserter will not insert additional fuel. This allows the other fuel to travel further down the transport belt. When the fuel drops below 5 items, the inserter will resume inserting fuel, up to the limit of 5 items.

Entity Item type Automatic insertion limit
Boilers, burner inserters, furnaces, and nuclear reactors Fuel 5
Gun turrets Bullet Magazines 10
Artillery turrets Artillery shells 5
Assembling machines, furnaces, centrifuges, chemical plants, and oil refineries Items needed for the recipe The ingredients for 1 craft in addition to the ingredients for the number of crafts that can complete during one full inserter swing; but at least the ingredients for 2 crafts and at most the ingredients for 100 crafts.[1]
Labs Science packs Double the number of science packs needed for one research unit.

An inserter that has a higher inserter capacity bonus than 1 can overfill the target building, due to the inserter picking up a higher amount of items than needed. Overfilling can also occur if multiple inserters are used to insert items into one building.

Inserters and transport belts

Transport belts have two lanes on which items can travel. Inserters only place items onto one side of the belt, either the far side from the inserter's perspective or if the belt is going the same or the opposite direction as the inserter the right side from the belt's perspective.

Inserter dropoff locations.gif Inserter pickup locations.gif
Inserters place the item on the furthest lane. If a belt is in the same orientation as the inserter, the item will be placed on the right-hand lane, from the belt's perspective. In curves the inserter always places on the far side. If the belt is perpendicular to the inserter, inserters prefer taking items from the nearest lane. If the nearest lane is empty, the inserter will take from the far lane. If the belt is the same/opposite orientation of the inserter or a curve, the inserter prefers taking from the left lane, from the belt's perspective. If the left lane is empty it will take from the right lane.

Potential issues

Inserters may have problems picking up items:

  • From very fast belts, because the items are moving too quickly.
  • From the entry or exit of an underground belt (because the time they have to pick up is shorter)
  • From turning belts if the item is on the inside of the corner

Power usage

  • Electric inserters drain energy even when they are not moving, as idle power
  • The amount of energy used is the same for every turn
  • The burner inserter does not drain energy when idle, but uses more energy when it is active.

Rotation Speed

Convention: 2π rad = 100% of a circle rotation = 1 turn (or one full rotation).

Note: an Inserter doesn't always need to make full turns. When grabbing from a transport belt, it is slightly faster when grabbing items from the closest lane.

Extension Speed

The extension-speed is normally not visible (only when compared to other inserters), but there are measurable speed differences when taking - for example - from the near or the far side of a belt. Also Some mods can alter the pickup and drop locations of inserters, making this stat more relevant.

Inserter Throughput

The following is based on experimental data from 0.18. Most of the 0.18 experimental data was gathered using the following circuit blueprint to measure the exact tick difference between inserter swings. A lot of the data on this page (specifically the belt to chest data) relies heavily on the conditions of the setup on which the measurements are done. If your setup differs from the ones tested on this page, you can use the following blueprint to do the measurements yourself.

Chest to belt

Throughput going from chest to belt depends on how full the belt is. An inserter will not put down an item on a belt that have items back-to-back (aka full compression) - it waits until there is a gap. However, if the gap is narrower than the item then the items upstream on the belt will stop to make room for the item being inserted. The direction of the belt compared to the inserter does not matter however.

In these measurements inserters move items onto an empty belt. Values are given for the stack sizes at three different capacity bonus levels.

Belt to chest (perpendicular)

Note: Experimental data from 0.18

When picking items from a belt, many more factors come into play besides belt fullness:

  • How fast the items move (i.e. if they are queued up on the belt or move at belt speed).
  • Whether the belt is perpendicular to the inserter or approaches it head on.
  • Whether items are on the near or far lane of a perpendicular belt.
  • Whether the belt turns or not, and whether the items are in the inner or outer side of the bend.
  • If the belt is an underground entrance or exit. This shortens the time items are visible to the inserter for pickup.
  • All sorts of intricate timing factors between the inserter and the items on the belt, since the game simulates the arm homing in on every item.

The test setup used below is with an inserter taking items from a perpendicular belt with items on the far lane only. The belt is fully compressed and timings are both for items that move at full speed and queued up as much as possible. Values are given for the stack sizes at three different capacity bonus levels.

*) Throughput for basic/fast/express belt.

Since there are many more factors involved, these measurements exhibit a more complex pattern than chest-to-belt.

  • Boldface cells show for which belt each inserter has the best throughput on each bonus level when items move at belt speed. Higher speed belts mean that inserters have to work harder to catch the fast moving items. The effect is most noticeable for slower inserters and smaller stack sizes.
  • When items are queued up the belt type hardly matters, so there is only a single column for that. The exceptions are the stack inserters - for basic transport belts it's the belt that sets the limit for stack sizes above 4, and there is also a notable difference between fast and express belts.

Belt to Chest (facing inserter)

Note: Experimental data from 0.18

When picking up items from a belt facing the inserter, there are multiple small differences between different setups. The following throughput tests are performed with express transport belts and stack inserters with the maximum capacity bonus. Each setup in the following picture shows the amount of ticks per cycle of the inserter and the amount of items per second the inserter moves. These measurements are consistent in all orientations of the setup.
