Why are some of my inserters shy?

Solution 1:

This can also occur when you aren't fully meeting your power requirements. Low power makes some items operate slower, this could be happening with your inserters.

Solution 2:

Normal inserters have problems picking up items from:

  • Fast belts, especially if not full.
  • Inner corner off a bent as it has a smaller surface to pick from ergo less time to.

So you can:

  • Use faster inserters.
  • Use slower belts.
  • Ensure that the belts are full.
