Guide

The Loader serves as a basic logistics building that automates the movement of items between conveyor belts and machines. Its primary role is to handle the input or output of materials in your production lines, making it essential for setting up automated workflows early in your factory.

A Loader cannot directly connect two buildings without a conveyor belt in between. This design means every automated transfer between machines must route through a belt, reinforcing the importance of thoughtful belt layout.

Some players find the Loader's name or its function in the UI unclear, especially when first configuring material flow. Understanding its foundational role helps prevent early bottlenecks and confusion as your factory grows.

Tipps

• Toggle the Loader between input and output modes to control the direction of item flow. This is crucial for ensuring materials move as intended between belts and machines.
• Always insert a conveyor belt between any two machines when using Loaders. Direct building-to-building connections are not supported and will block item flow.
• If items are not transferring as expected, double-check the Loader's configuration and direction. Misconfigured Loaders are a common cause of early production stalls.
• Manual intervention may be required if a Loader refuses certain items, especially after changes to your line. Inspect and reconfigure as needed to restore flow.

FAQ

Is there a consistent fix for Loaders refusing specific items?

If a Loader stops transferring items, check its direction and configuration. Removing and replacing the Loader or resetting its mode can often resolve stubborn transfer issues. Ensuring the correct item type is on the belt and that the Loader is set to the right mode will usually restore proper flow.
