The [[Express transport belt]] is the most advanced variant of the [[Basic transport belt]]. Its available when [[Logistics 3]] has been [[Research|researched]]. Its behaviour is exactly the same as the [[Basic transport belt]] at triple speed. Making an express transport belt is costly and should be used mainly in places where high throughput is needed. Alternatively, it can be used as means to get around the base faster.<br />
See '''[[Transport_belts|Transport belts]]''' for more general information about transport belts. <br />

Express transport belts are a faster variant of the transport belt, operating at triple speed. They are the third and final tier among the transport belts.

Unlike previous tiers, express transport belts rely on oil processing for lubricant. Therefore, it is recommended to restrict their production in early-game until high throughput is needed.

Properties

4 stack inserters can compress an express belt at stack size 12 for the left inserters and stack size 8 for the right inserters.
