Research Data
The Launcher is unlocked with Conveyor Belt by Tier 1 Logistics research for 30 Gold. It moves solid material vertically or diagonally and ejects it from the highest end of the placed shaft.
The official Research page is marked work in progress. These facts reflect the captured August 20, 2026 version and may change with game updates.
Launcher: Confirmed Function
The official Beginner's Guide says Launchers can be placed vertically and diagonally. The highest point is always the output; drag direction determines whether the material is thrown left or right. This makes placement geometry part of the routing control.
Setup and Production Role
Use Launchers to bridge height differences, throw material toward a receiving surface or clear stagnant pixels above a Kinetic Press. Conveyor Belts remain the basic horizontal option, while the Launcher takes over where elevation or ejection is required.
Limits and Verification
The official sources do not provide launch speed, range, capacity, supported material list or throughput. They also do not quantify how angle and shaft length affect ejection, so layout-specific performance must be tested rather than inferred.
