Flat Conveyor is a better way to solve logistical tasks for Unit Products after leaving the beginning stage of the game. It is used to transport items between buildings automatically, and continuously, without using vehicles. It can connect to Flat Balancer and Flat Sorter.

The Conveyor requires Electricity and Maintenance I proportional to the length of the segment.

Electricity consumption for a belt segment appears to be 1 kW plus 0.20, 0.40, or 0.80 kW per tile for tier I, II, and III belts, respectively.

Maintenance I consumption per 100 tiles is 1 for T1, 2 for T2, and 3.5 for T3.
