Inserter (Machines)
Machine
A transfer device that loads or unloads a machine.
MachineRecipe chain depth 22 supported recipe routes
WHY CONSIDER IT
The inserter is a production handoff, so a factory expansion with new assemblers should include input/output connections.
When it fits: Add it at each required machine/belt interface.
The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 1 and lists 2 Mechanical Components at Assembler / Assembler MKII; 2 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. Every added machine creates transfer and power demand; construction stock is separate from sustained throughput.
