Throughput
Transporters are capable of one "pick up" or "drop off" action per tick (5 ticks = 1 second). So if the transporter isn't the source or the destination it will generally fulfill each order in 2 ticks (one to pick up and one to drop off), and throughput will depend on the size of the order being satisfied. Production components will generally request less than a full stack, the storage register will generally move 1 stack per order, and behaviors can move arbitrary numbers of items up to the size of the frame the transporter is on.
Tips
- A transporter always takes the item into its own inventory before moving it to the destination, and it won't work if it can't.
- Using a building with a larger footprint (e.g. 2x1 or 2x2) can increase the component's reach
- A building with two transporters won't move items faster than a building with one transporter. However two buildings with one transporter each can move up to twice as many items as one building with one transporter
