b stack inserter

3 years ago

The mod says I need less than 1 stack inserter per machine but it can't keep up.
How is the required amount of inserters calculated? I thought inserter throughput depended on the belt setup it picks up from?

It doesn't consider whether the inserter is picking up from a box or a belt, and unfortunately they work slower picking from a belt.

what do you mean doesn't consider? you mean it shows the number if it was picking from a box or directly assembler to assembler and if I try to use belts, I shouldn't even look at the number?

Yes. It shows the maximum possible rate of your machines. It doesn't even look at how many inserters or what kind you have.
What I hope to do at some point is show the calculations in inserter-from-belt units, but it's a tricky number to calculate. Sorry.
