Making express transport belt is costly and should be used mainly in corners of a red transport belt to avoid bottlenecks or near train stations where throughput is its highest. Alternatively, it can be used as means to get around the base faster.

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.
