No Can be placed on all sides? Yes Has large conveyor port? Yes One on each of its sides Has small conveyor port? Yes 3 small ports are on the top, and the bottom of the block

Usage

Conveyor ports on all its sides give greater flexibility for the player when creating Conveyor Networks on ships and/or stations. An example of using its multi-directional ports is below:

Example Tutorial

Place a conveyor block next to a conveyor port on a device such as a Refinery. Keep in mind, rotation doesn't matter as it has ports on all its sides. Next, Once placed, place an Assembler with one of its conveyor ports facing towards the conveyor block. Now place a cargo container on another side of the conveyor block. The connection is now established between all 3 devices. All devices may interact with one another through the single conveyor block in the middle.

Examples

A conveyor block in the middle is connected on 3 different sides alongside a big blue default ship
