Summary

Transport items from Conveyor Belts into facilities, from facilities out to cargo belts or between facilities directly. The sorter can install a filter to only move specific items. A Sorter can cover a maximum distance of three tiles.

Base rate of four times the speed of the Sorter Mk.I or twice the speed of the Sorter Mk.II.

Player Tips & Tricks

To apply a filter, select an installed sorter, then click "Filter" on the control panel that appears. Choose which component you wish the Sorter to handle exclusively.
To remove a filter, select an installed sorter, then click the X that appears next to the component’s icon.
It has advantages for Power Consumption and Game Performance to resort to lower sorter Tiers if only low throughput is required.

-Unlike the [[Sorter Mk.I|Mk.I]] and [[Sorter Mk.II|Mk.II]] models, when [[Sorter Cargo Stacking (Upgrade)|upgraded]], the Mk.III stacks several items each trip, which '''may cause jams''' if the input consists of more than one kind of item, like when feeding an [[Assembling Machine Mk.I|assembling machine]] from a [[Storage Mk.I|storage]] or when taking items out of production facilities that have several outputs. This can be avoided by setting a filter in the sorter.
