The inserter (also known as yellow inserter, or basic inserter) can be used to transfer items between entities such as transport belts and stone furnaces. It is the most basic electric inserter.

Unlike the fast inserter, the inserter is fast enough to pick up items moving on a express transport belts. If items on an express transport belt are stopped due to a blockage or backlog of items, however, the inserter may pick them up. Additionally, the basic inserter is unable to access items on the far side of a curving transport belt.

The inserter is notable in that it is used in the creation of Science Pack 2, so players must create an automated inserter assembly line. The basic inserter is also used in the creation of both the fast inserter and the long inserter, and serves as the base item for all electric inserters.
