| == Basic ==
| |
| | |
| '''Task''': make a steady flow of items from your [[Mining drill]]s to the [[Furnace]]s.
| |
| | |
| * Select a belt by taking a [[Storages/Stack]] from your [[Inventory]]
| |
| * Rotate the belt by pressing "R" until it faces the right direction.
| |
| * Place the belt (by default right mouse)
| |
| * Move in the direction you want the belt to go, and hold down the right mouse button: the belt continues to be placed.
| |
| | |
| (NB: If you have placed belt in the wrong direction you don't need to dismantle it. Make sure your game-hand is empty and then simply press 'R' over the piece and it will change on the spot.)

| === Turns / Bends ===
| |
| [[Transport belts/Turns|Turns]] will always keep the alignment of items. Be aware; the inner side of the turn moves items at half the speed, meaning turns are likely to be bottlenecks. Using faster belts at the bend is recommended to maintain capacity of your network.
| |
| | |
| See also
| |
| * [[Transport belts/Turns]] for details about turns.
| |
| * [[Transport belts/Optimizing| Transport belt Optimising]] about other ways to speed up this bottleneck. | |

| |
| === Belt Lanes: using two sides ===
| |
| Belts have [[Transport belts/Belt lane|two lanes]] that can be used for transporting. This allows for either a double flow of one material, or with some careful setup, transporting two different materials on the same belt.
| |
| | |
| See also
| |
| * [[Transport belts/Belt lane]] for more about usage of the two lanes of a belt.

| | |
| ==== Side inserts (Crossings) ====
| |
| When belts join together at a t-junction, items are [[Transport belts/Side insert|inserted from the side]] and they stay on the side of the belt they came from.
| |
| | |
| See also
| |
| * [[Transport belts/Side insert]] for tips on how to use it efficiently.

| | |
| Fully optimising transport belts can be a tricky but satisfying task as your factory increases in both complexity and material volume. Use some of the pages below to help you.

| |
| | |
| * [[Transport belts/Speedup Walking]]: Walk/run in belt direction add the speed of the belt to your own.

| * [[Transport belts/Defense]]: Use the Express belt to slow down the enemies
