Hi,
some of the isnerters just are stuck, i didnt had any coal so i added another lane, also i noticed it different times before they get sometimes stuck.

They can not grab moving coal from fast belts.

O, rly, i know.

The belt is not moving. (how else should the others get coal?!)

Removing and place again works btw also.

Move it back, thanks.

It's not moving now, when the unlucky inserters are already out of fuel. It usually happens to the inserters that are closer to the fuel input and never happens to the ones that are at the end of the lane.

???

Should they be able to pick up fuel by itself? Yes or no?

Yes, but if the fuel goes past them too fast (red or blue belt) they can't grab it. They'll try a few times and inevitably run out of fuel.

so at some point the belt had to be moving.

Yes, but atm it was not moving 1/4 of all inserters just chilling.

Doin nothing.

I Understand that they cant take it when it moves too fast. But why they cant take when the BELT is NOT moving?

Because they out of fuel and have no energy to move.

When you place a new burner inserter it has a little bit of fuel to be able to move to refuel itself. Some of your inserters ran out of fuel completely, so they can't even refuel themselves.

So burner inserters cant refuel itself when complete out of fuel. Thats not cool.
