Conveyor Belts are a must-have for establishing a production line in Satisfactory. You can get your hands on one by completing the HUB Upgrade 4 Milestone in Tier 0. Once this is done, you can craft a Conveyor Belt through the build menu under the logistics tab.

To do so, however, you need an Iron Plate, which can be obtained by mining Iron Ore. Once you get your hands on it, process it into Iron Ingots and refine it into Iron Plates at a crafting bench.

• Connect the belt to the other end.
• Click LMB again to complete your project.

The Belt needs to be connected to an output as well as an input. The orange port indicates an input, whereas the green port indicates an output. If you are unable to finalize your construction, make sure that both ends are not connected to just two outputs or two inputs.
