Research Data
The Conveyor Belt is an early logistics building unlocked with Launcher research at Tier 1 for 30 Gold. It moves solid resources horizontally and forms the basic surface transport layer of a factory.
The official Research page is marked work in progress. These facts reflect the captured August 20, 2026 version and may change with game updates.
Conveyor Belt: Confirmed Function
The official Beginner's Guide says belts are placed only horizontally. Their direction follows the direction the mouse is dragged during placement. The guide names Sand, Residue, Cinder, Seeds and Amethelis as representative solid resources moved by belts and Launchers.
Setup and Production Role
Use belts for continuous horizontal movement between production stages, then switch to Launchers where a route must rise, fall diagonally or eject material. Filters can replace part of a belt line where one selected material needs to pass or be blocked.
Limits and Verification
The captured official guide does not publish belt speed, pixels per second, maximum pile size or a precise throughput comparison. It only confirms that Mk.2 belts are the later faster tier and that the replace hotkey can upgrade an existing route.
