== O começo ==
''Para o insersor comum amarelo, veja {{L|Inserter}}.''
Se ainda estiver perdido depois de jogar os tutoriais, este guia está aqui para te ajudar.
 
=== Começando o jogo ===
 
Para começar no menu principal, você precisa selecionar "Jogar", depois "Novo jogo". Isso o levará a um menu que permite a {{L|World generator|personalização do seu mundo}}. Se esta é sua primeira vez, você não precisará mexer nelas. Se você ainda não jogou os níveis de tutorial e campanha, você deve joga-los primeiro. No menu principal, selecione "Jogar", "Iniciar campanha" e "Primeiros passos". A campanha "Primeiros Passos" é um tutorial básico, a "Nova Esperança" ensina mais o básico do jogo.
 
==== Gerador de mundo ====
 
Você pode alterar essas opções para gerar o mapa de maneiras diferentes. Mudanças na geração mundial podem afetar muito a dificuldade do jogo.
 
A primeira aba na tela da geração mundial permite ao jogador escolher uma predefinição para a geração mundial. Uma predefinição é apenas uma maneira rápida de alterar as configurações nas outras duas guias. Para novos players, a predefinição padrão ou a predefinição de recursos avançados são sugeridas.
 
Se o modo pacífico estiver ativado, os inimigos não atacarão o jogador, a menos que ele ataque primeiro.
 
A aba de Configurações de recursos permite alterar com que frequência e força os recursos e inimigos aparecem.
 
{{L|Resources}} e bases inimigas são controladas por 3 valores: frequência, tamanho e riqueza.
* Frequency determina quantas vezes você verá veias de minério ou bases inimigas dentro do mundo do jogo
* Tamanho determina o tamanho dessas veias ou bases
* A riqueza determina quantos recursos os minérios produzirão antes de secar e a densidade das bases inimigas
 
Se você quiser um começo mais fácil, considere aumentar a frequência, tamanho e riqueza dos recursos e diminuir o mesmo para as bases inimigas. Observe que pode ser recomendado aumentar o tamanho e a frequência do petróleo para jogadores iniciantes, pois pode ser muito difícil encontrar petróleo, dependendo da semente da geração de mundo em comparação com a de outros recursos, combinada com o fato de o petróleo ser um a necessidade de progredir, além do fato de que o bombeamento de óleo diminuirá gradualmente seu rendimento, exigindo a necessidade de viajar ainda mais para encontrar ainda mais petróleo. Observe também que o jogo pode ser concluído com inimigos desabilitados completamente (tamanho definido como nenhum), no entanto, lidar com inimigos geralmente é uma parte importante do jogo.
 
Mais informação sobre a geração de mundo pode ser encontrado em {{L|World generator}}.
 
=== Controles básicos e Interface ===
 
Por favor, veja em {{L|Keyboard bindings}} para aprender mais sobre as teclas e como configura-las.
 
==== Movimento ====
 
Movimente o seu {{L|Player|personagem}} com as teclas de movimento ("W", "A", "S", "D" por padrão).
 
==== Mapa ====
 
Press the map key (default "M") to open and close the map.  Hover your mouse over resources on the map to see what they are.
 
==== Coletando recursos ====
Alguns recursos podem ser reunidos manualmente, mantendo o botão direito do mouse sobre eles. Você pode usar isso para coletar {{L|Wood}}, {{L|Stone}}, {{L|Coal}}, {{L|Copper ore}}, {{L|Iron ore}} e {{L|Raw fish|peixe}} apenas.
 
==== Invetário e criação ====
 
Pressione a tecla de inventário (padrão "E") para abrir e fechar seu inventário. A interface do usuário do inventário é dividida no inventário do jogador, à esquerda, e nas {{L|Items | receitas}}, à direita. Os quatro botões grandes na parte superior das receitas são as categorias de criação de itens. Se você tiver os ingredientes exigidos por uma receita, poderá clicar nela várias vezes para criar quantas quiser. Veja o progresso da criação no canto inferior esquerdo da tela.
 
==== Colocando e removendo estruturas ====
 
Alguns itens são estruturas que você pode colocar no chão. Quando o seu inventário está aberto, você pode selecionar uma estrutura que possa ser inserida no local, clicando nela. Você deve ver que seu cursor foi substituído pelo ícone da estrutura. Agora você pode pressionar a mesma chave de inventário novamente (padrão "E") para fechar seu inventário. O ícone do mouse ainda terá a estrutura. Mova o mouse para ver onde você pode colocar a estrutura. Se o item aparecer em vermelho, você não poderá colocá-lo lá. Se estiver verde, pode ser colocado. Você pode alterar a direção de rotação da estrutura pressionando a tecla girar (padrão "R") antes de colocá-la ou depois de posicioná-la passando o mouse sobre ela com o mouse e pressionando a tecla girar (padrão "R"). Clique esquerdo para colocar a estrutura.
 
Depois de colocar uma estrutura, você pode buscá-la e colocá-la novamente em seu inventário, mantendo o botão direito do mouse sobre ela.
 
==== Interagindo com as estruturas ====
Se uma estrutura puder ser interativa, clique nela para abrir sua interface do usuário. Geralmente, você usa isso para escolher qual receita uma máquina deve usar ou para colocar itens de estoque em um contêiner.
 
Ao abrir um contêiner, você também poderá ver seu inventário. Clique em um item do seu inventário e clique em um slot vazio no contêiner para transferir. Você também pode transferir mantendo simplesmente pressionado o botão "transferência de pilha" (padrão "SHIFT") e clicando nele. Se você quiser pegar apenas metade de um '''{{L|Stack|pilha}}''' de itens, clique com o botão direito do mouse na pilha do seu inventário. Você também pode clicar com o botão direito do mouse em CTRL para transferir diretamente metade da pilha. Se você deseja transferir TODOS os itens de um tipo, mantenha pressionada a tecla "transferência de estoque" (padrão "CTRL") e clique no item. Se você deseja transferir TODOS os itens de QUALQUER tipo, mantenha pressionada a tecla "transferência de estoque" (padrão "CTRL") e clique em um slot vazio.
 
Pressione a tecla "alt-mode" (padrão "ALT") para alternar para "visualização detalhada", que mostra informações extras sobre estruturas.
 
==== Barra rápida e atalho ====
Na parte inferior central da tela, você verá a {{L| Quickbar}} à esquerda e a {{L| barra de atalhos}} à direita. Clique com o botão esquerdo do mouse na Barra Rápida para inserir um item. Clique com o botão do meio (ou clique com o botão direito do mouse em Comando) no item na Barra Rápida para removê-lo.
 
==== Combate ====
Este jogo contém inimigos, embora eles provavelmente não o atacem até que você esteja mais preparado. Se você precisar se defender, pressione espaço para atirar no inimigo mais próximo do cursor do mouse. Fique de olho na sua munição, que pode ser vista no canto inferior direito da tela.
 
== Os primeiros momentos ==
 
=== Recursos ===
 
Certifique-se de ter os quatro recursos sólidos próximos ao seu local de reprodução; {{L|Coal}}, {{L|Copper ore}}, {{L|Iron ore}} e {{L|Stone}}. Estes devem ser encontrados a uma distância razoável um do outro; quanto mais afastados, mais difícil será direcioná-los para uso combinado.
 
Também é aconselhável ter uma fonte de {{L|Water}} na sua área de partida, pois é necessária para o {{L|Steam engine}}.
 
Se a sua área de reprodução não possui um desses recursos, ou eles são muito escassos ou muito afastados, basta pressionar a tecla Escape e escolher "Reiniciar". Isso irá gerar novamente o mundo do jogo e você aparecerá em um novo local de partida. Isso pode precisar ser feito várias vezes até que um mundo aceitável seja criado.
 
Mais tarde, também precisaremos de {{L|Crude oil}}. No entanto, tudo bem se sua área inicial não tiver óleo, pois você não precisará dele até mais tarde no jogo. O mesmo vale para o {{L|Uranium ore}}.
 
Quase tudo no Factorio é feito com esses sete recursos básicos, e você precisará de todos eles, exceto o urânio, se pretende terminar o jogo.
 
=== Colocando minas e fornalhas ===
Reunir e criar manualmente é uma dor, e o objetivo do Factorio é criar máquinas que farão seu trabalho por você.
 
Você inicia sua jornada com um {{L|Stone furnace}} e um {{L|Burner mining drill}}. Isso significa que você só precisa colher um número limitado de recursos manualmente.
Antes de tudo, você deve colocar sua broca na borda de um depósito de ferro, voltada para o forno. O depósito de ferro se parece com pedras cinza azuladas no chão.
 
A pequena seta amarela mostra onde o minério de ferro extraído sairá. Você deseja que o forno fique na frente dessa seta, para que a broca insira automaticamente o minério no forno. Deve ser algo como isto:
:[[File:SimpleOre.PNG|center|thumb|150px]]
 
'''Lembre-se de que você pode pressionar "ALT" para ativar a visualização detalhada.''' Isso facilita a visualização do que está acontecendo.
 
=== Abastaecendo com combustível ===
Agora que você colocou a broca e o forno, eles precisam de '''{{L|Fuel}}'''.
 
Você pode alimentá-los com {{L|Wood}} ou {{L|Coal}}. Para coletá-los, você precisará cortar árvores ou extrair carvão; isso pode ser feito pressionando o botão direito do mouse sobre árvores ou depósitos de carvão, respectivamente.
 
Depois de ter algum combustível em seu inventário, clique com o botão esquerdo no forno ou na broca para abrir a interface.
:[[File:Interface.PNG|center|thumb|upright=4]]
Para colocar o combustível na máquina, basta clicar com o botão esquerdo do mouse para retirá-lo e clicar com o botão esquerdo novamente para colocá-lo no compartimento de combustível.
 
Se você deseja dividir uma '''{{L|Stack|pilha}}''' ao meio, clique com o botão direito do mouse na pilha.
Agora as duas máquinas devem estar funcionando e automaticamente fazendo algumas chapas de ferro!
 
'''Você também pode clicar com o botão direito do mouse + CTRL para inserir diretamente metade da pilha'''
 
Você pode usar uma configuração idêntica para o minério de cobre para obter placas de cobre.
 
== Aumetando a produção ==
 
O que é melhor do que chapas de ferro? ''Mais'' chapas de ferro!
 
Você precisará criar algumas mineradoras extras. Se você passar o mouse sobre a mineradora no menu de criação, verá duas listas de materiais. A primeira lista mostra os componentes necessários para fazer a broca; o segundo na parte inferior da janela da dica de ferramenta mostra os recursos brutos necessários para cria-la.
Ao contrário de outros jogos, você não precisa criar os itens de pré-requisito antes de selecionar o item que deseja criar. Todos os itens necessários são criados para você.
Você pode ver esse processo acontecendo na parte inferior esquerda da tela, onde está sua fila de criação.
Você também pode enfileirar mais pedidos de criação, contanto que tenha os materiais necessários e eles serão executados um após o outro.
:[[File:Recipe.PNG|center|upright=2|thumb]]
Agora que você consegue ter mineradoras e fornalhas extras, automatize a aquisição de carvão e pedra.
Eles são fáceis de configurar e funcionam essencialmente da mesma forma que a instalação do ferro.
Para o carvão, você pode ter duas mineradoras de frente uma pra outras: eles funcionam com o carvão que são alimentados pelo parceiro e você pode coletar o excedente.
 
Não esqueça que você pode coletar recursos de máquinas sem abrir seus inventários, com CTRL-LMB.
Você também pode ativar a exibição detalhada pressionando a tecla ALT uma vez. Você pode desativá-lo pressionando ALT novamente.
 
[[File:SimpleCoal.PNG|center|thumb]]
E para pedra, você pode obter a broca diretamente no baú.
 
Quando tudo estiver configurado, você provavelmente desejará torná-lo mais rápido. Configure mais mineradoras com fornalhas para o ferro, configure algumas para o cobre e talvez faça mais mineradoras no carvão para cobrir a produção extra de carvão.
No início do jogo, o recurso mais usado é o ferro, então você provavelmente precisará do dobro de mineiros de ferro que cobre, se não mais. Mas espere que o cobre se torne cada vez mais importante quanto mais você mexe com eletricidade e eletrônica!
 
=== Mais automação ===
 
Great! So now you have four or so furnaces making iron, a couple making copper, some stone production and a good amount of coal production.
But you know what really sucks? Having to run the coal around to all your other machines, right? Well let's automate that too!
Conveyor belts and inserters are the way of the future! The output slots on the drill can also output onto conveyor belts to be transported to your other machines.
 
Ótimo! Então agora você umas quatro fornalhas fabricando ferro, alguns fabricando cobre, alguma produção de pedra e uma boa quantidade de produção de carvão.
Mas você sabe o que realmente é uma merda? Ter que transportar o carvão para todas as outras máquinas, certo? Bem, vamos automatizar isso também!
Correias transportadoras e insersores são o caminho do futuro! Os slots de saída da broca também podem ser transportados para correias transportadoras para serem transportadas para suas outras máquinas.
 
[[File:CoalConveyor.PNG|center|upright=2|thumb]]
 
Agora que podemos levar nosso carvão para outros lugares sem nenhum esforço, precisamos apenas de uma maneira de inserir o carvão nessas máquinas.
É aqui que os {{L|Inserters}} entram. Nas primeiras etapas do jogo, você pode usar o {{L|Burner inserter|insersores à combustível}} como uma maneira barata de mover itens de qualquer coisa para qualquer coisa. Você pode mover objetos do chão, baús, máquinas e colocá-los onde quiser.
Porém, os próprios insersores de queimador precisam de carvão para funcionar, o que torna um pouco contra-intuitivo precisar abastecê-los, ao invés das máquinas que você está tentando abastecer.
Aqui está um pequeno exemplo de insersores funcionando. Observe que a linha plana é onde os insersores serão selecionados e a seta é onde eles colocarão o item. Para ver isso no seu jogo, você precisa acessar o menu do jogo, pressionar Opções, Gráficos e ativar a opção "Mostrar setas do inserter quando informações detalhadas estiverem ativadas".
 
[[File:SimpleOreProcessing.PNG|center|upright=2|thumb]]


Ok, agora sabemos como extrair automaticamente as coisas e como mover automaticamente as coisas de um lugar para outro e, em seguida, colocar os itens na máquina ou fora das máquinas.
'''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.


Em seguida, queremos obter um pouco de {{L|Electric system| eletricidade}} para que possamos ter insersores que usam eletricidade em vez de combustível.

Electricity. This is where things start to get interesting. We're going to need a single [[Offshore pump|Offshore Pump]], a [[boiler]] and two [[Steam engine|Steam Engines]]. These are really simple to set up, they just require thirty-some iron plates per steam engine and 5 stone. The offshore pump goes in the water and needs no power to run. From there, you can either use pipes to transport the water to boilers, or you can run boilers straight from the pump. Water is fed into the boiler through the connection on the short side, as shown in the picture. If the boiler is fuelled, it will output steam in the middle of one of the long sides. The steam output of the boiler then connects to the middle of the short side of the steam engine. Make sure you connect it in the right place or it won't work. You can see where you can connect boilers and steam engines if you turn on the detailed view (press the Alt key). Boilers allow water to flow through, you can place multiple boilers next to each other and all will get water. Similarly, steam engines allow steam to run through, so you can have as many engine as you want connected in a row. Here is a small example.
==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.


[[File:SimpleGeneratorSetup.png|center|600px|thumb]]
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.


Now you need to use power poles to carry power to your machines. Place some down so that their coverage area (the blue square) overlaps each steam engine in at least one square. If they are going to connect, the machines that use power will be shown with a blue outline around their edges.

|-

If the steam engine is producing power but nothing is using it, it'll show a yellow flashing icon: right now it's showing because we don't have electric machines yet!
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.


[[File:LonelyTurbine.PNG|center|upright=1|thumb]]
{|
| style="width:320px;" | [[File:Inserter_dropoff_locations.gif]] || [[File:Inserter_pickup_locations.gif]]
|-
| style="width:320px;" | 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.
| 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:


Your power setup can look however you want it to look. A boiler produces exactly as much steam as two steam engines can consume in the same time, so the usual method is to have a line of boilers each connected to two steam engines. The boilers are supplied with coal via inserters that take coal from a transport belt. A pump produces enough water for 20 boilers, so the most often used setup contains 1 offshore pump, 20 boilers and 40 steam engines. The example above is easily expanded into this efficient design. But hey, this game is all about experimentation and for you to be able to find ways to do your own things! So get to it, and show off your own unique designs!
* 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.


[[File:steamSetupExample.png|center|upright=4|thumb|Here's my personal favorite setup. ]]
== Inserter speed ==

'''Note:''' These numbers come directly from the [https://github.com/wube/factorio-data/tree/master/base/prototypes/entity factorio-data github repository].


Using this power is as simple as creating a machine that runs on electricity and placing a power pole close enough to it that the blue square touches the machine, just like you have to do at the power plant with the engines. Make sure that there is a line of power poles that actually connect to your power plant.
===Rotation Speed===
Convention: 2π rad = 100% of a circle rotation = '''1 turn''' (or one full rotation).


Now that power is explained, we need to increase our resource production.
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.


However, if you want detailed info on your power production/consumption, you can check the [[Power production#What_can_be_seen_from_the_electric_network_info.3F|Detailed Electric Network Info]], opened by clicking on any powerpole.
===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.


== Re-thinking our resources and research ==
==Inserter Throughput==


Next we really want to get onto automation of items, not just the smelting of ores.
The following is based on experimental data from [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q4hxL69qrK3qeEKU8aDkuwM3gJy6I2dJ4FYSs-FQUpI/edit?usp=sharing 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.


Before we can get to that though, we're going to have increase our production of ores. This is where things start becoming a little tricky and there are few things you want to do at once.

We really want to be able to set the factory to make things and let it go. But for that we need some extra utilities which we don't have and need to get through [[research]].


We haven't even touched on that yet! Let's start by cranking up our resource production. Now that we have electricity, we can use [[Mining|Electric Mining Drills]]. These are much better than those scummy Burner ones. They work exactly the same except they are twice as fast and they don't rely on fuel, as you could guess by the names. You can have them to output your raw resources onto belts and get them to a place where you can mass process the ores into plates. Here is a small example of what you could do, but let your imagination and your calculating logic figure out other, maybe even better ways of doing it! You want ore to be split more or less evenly on each side of the belts. This helps with the amount of resources that can be carried to your base of operations on a single belt.

===Chest to belt===


This is once again easily expandable all over an iron deposit. This conveyor belt can then take all of the ore to some sort of processing area. The processing area needs some machines that we currently don't have due to limitations in our research.
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.


Most importantly, we want the [[long handed inserter]]. This inserter is able to reach twice as far as a normal inserter! It is very useful for bringing or placing items to or from conveyor belts that are one extra tile away. So what we need to do is to make some science labs. They don't cost too many resources, but take a little while to make. Craft one or two of them and connect them to power. When you first place one, you are going to get a popup asking you want you want to research. We really want automation right now. This gives us our inserters and the Assembling machine 1, which is going to be very useful in the near future.
In these measurements inserters move items onto an empty belt. Values are given for the stack sizes at three different [[inserter capacity bonus (research)|capacity bonus]] levels.


You'll notice that the cost for this is 10 Science Pack 1's, or "red potions" or "flasks" as some people like to call them. These are simply another crafted item, which you should craft 10 of now and place them in your labs to begin researching. While you are waiting for your flasks to craft or your research to complete, let's continue building an ore processing center. We want a line of copper, iron and coal to be available for this area. Despite being in the electric era, our furnaces still need coal until a little further down the line.

Below is another sample of how you ''could'' set up your area. There are efficient ways of making them that you might see on the forum, but if you want to learn about what they are and how they work, you can either experiment yourself or search the wiki/forum for some better designs.

[[File:OreProcessingArea.PNG|center|upright=2|thumb]]
===Belt to chest (perpendicular)===


As per usual, I leave this area with plenty of room to expand later on when demands become higher. The important parts about this is that you need the red, long handed inserters to be able to reach the coal in the middle to fuel your furnaces. You need seperate belts for your incoming raw materials to be able to be processed, and then another belt outside of them to handle the output after they have been smelted. These materials can then go straight into your base to be made into a myriad of other things. Finally, we have a steady and upgradeable supply of copper and iron plates, and we can get into further automation with the assembling machines so we can automate creation of things like Science Packs, Ammunition and every other item that the player themselves can craft, but without you involved at all!
'''Note:''' Experimental data from 0.18


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


Ok, so a fair amount has happened. Now, to be able to progress into later parts of the game with better research we are going to want automate the process of making science packs and putting them into the labs. This way we won't have to worry about research any longer.
* 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.


There are many designs that you can find on the forums, but I'll show you something simple, letting you find what works for you. I would highly recommend that you research Logistics as your next research, and in fact manually craft the science required for this. The logistic research gives you some important things: the [[splitters|splitter]], the [[underground belts|underground belt]] and the [[fast inserter]]. The splitter and underground belts are some of the most important items you'll get at this stage. They do pretty much what their names imply.
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.


So what do science packs require? We need copper plates and iron gears. So far we have only dealt with raw resources, how do we make craftable things? The Assembler answers your prayers! If you place an assembler down and open its interface, it asks you what you would like it to craft. Once you select one, if you put the ingredients in that it requires it will craft the item and you can pull out the finished product. In the case of red science packs, we will need an assembler making iron gears, and an assembler making the actual packs. A nice way of doing this is to have a conveyor belt with 1 side containing the copper plates and the other side taking the gears from another assembler like below.

<nowiki>*)</nowiki> Throughput for basic/fast/express belt.


[[File:RedScienceProduction.PNG|center|thumb|upright=3]]
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.


Now this picture uses a few neat little tricks that I will explain in detail. If you have your plate belts seperate, and you want them running side by side there can be issues with trying to grab one or the other resources from the far belt. Yes, you could use a long inserter, but in some cases you don't want this (e.g. you need a fast inserter to get resources quickly into your assemblers).
=== Belt to Chest (facing inserter) ===


The area in red is a good way to get around this. By having a splitter, you can move the far belt from your production in close while also allowing it to continue down the line for later use. For the copper, we use an underground belt to go underneath the area that is now taken by the far line which also allows the copper to continue on. Once again, this is only one possible method of doing things and you are in no way obligated to follow it.
'''Note:''' Experimental data from 0.18


The area in blue is a quick way to allow copper to continue down the main line, while also splitting some off for our red science assemblers. Notice how when it joins the line that the gears are on, they only join the bottom side of the belt. The little extra belt that I added to the left stops the belt from becoming a turn, and therefore makes the items only join the side I want them to. The rest is simple: the gears and copper get pulled into the assemblers, they make the science and then it gets pulled out again on the other side. These flasks can then be transported to some labs to automatically do your research for you, for example like this:
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 belt]]s and [[stack inserter]]s with the maximum [[inserter capacity bonus (research)|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.

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.

Variante do insersor de pilha que que pode filtrar itens por tipo.

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.
