Fast inserter

Fast inserter/infobox

The Fast inserter is an electric inserter that is more than twice as fast as the regular Inserter.

As of game version 0.13 it is able to be connected directly to the circuit and logistics networks, allowing it to replace the removed Smart inserter for applications that do not require the use of the item filter functionality. Applications that do need filtering of the items it is recommended to use the Filter inserter or Stack filter inserter instead.
