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. [http://kovarex.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=22#p71]
*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.
== Types ==
=== Burner inserter ===
[[File:burner-inserter.jpg|150px]]
* Low tech version of the basic inserter.
* Speed: Normal
* Power source: Fuel (wood/coal) <br />
Note: Manual refilling is required, but no [[Electric network|electricity]] is needed, so it is useful mainly in the early game.<br />
=== Inserter ===
[[File:basic-inserter.jpg|150px]]
* Speed: Normal
* Power source: [[Electric network|Electricity]]<br />
=== Long handed inserter ===
[[File:long-handed-inserter.jpg|300px]]
* Longer reach (both input and output are 1 tile further from the inserter)
* Speed: Normal
* Power source: [[Electric network|Electricity]]<br />
As seen in the picture, the furnace needs to get coal from the farther [[Transport network|transport belt]], and the long-handed inserter is able to reach the farther transport belt.<br />
=== Fast inserter ===
[[File:fast-inserter.jpg|150px]]
* More expensive
* Speed: Fast (2x as fast as normal)
* Power source: [[Electric network|Electricity]]<br />
=== Filter inserter ===

Removed in newest version.
=== Smart inserter ===
[[File:smart-inserter.jpg|100px]]
* Will move only selected types of items (up to 5 types) or all items when no type is chosen and the inserter is connected to a [[Circuit network|circuit networks]]
* Speed: Fastest (2.4x as fast as normal)
* Power source: [[Electric network|Electricity]]<br />
