Sure you haven't defined how it works, but considering how they are combined in a rather similar manner to multiple combinators on the same circuit network, it would be expected for them to operate the same way. Especially since overflow is how it works on the circuit network, and is intuitive to anybody getting to the point of overflowing the signals. All you've done now is create a disconnect in how the systems operate, making it even harder for new players to understand why it works one way in one case and another way in a second case.Rseding91 wrote: Sat Apr 12, 2025 1:33 am We have at no point defined how logistic sections when combined work, and overflow/wrap around is not in any way intuitive compared to clamping at the extremes.
I'd argue that the 'fix' is rather counterintuitive, considering how circuit signals work everywhere else in the game. Talking with some people on discord, we agree that it's weird that implicit signal addition now behaves differently from a combinator doing addition. Why clamp it here and not elsewhere? This isn't me asking for it to be clamped elsewhere, I love the simple logic I can do with overflows. Please don't 'fix' that as well.Rseding91 wrote: Sat Apr 12, 2025 1:33 am As part of a fix for adding together logistic section values also including multipliers, the logic was unified and changed to clamp explicitly when converting the numbers from the separate values into the final summed value.

I (and I imagine everyone else) are perfectly okay with the clamping for things like sums of logistics groups in requester chests or when reading from a miner set to "read patch", as in those cases it just makes more sense. However, I am quite attached to overflow behaviors as far as combinators go, and in that case clamping is actually less consistent with how other adjacent systems work (combinator addition, implicit wire summation). I think the best way forward would be to delineate between the two situations, and use the overflow/underflow logic specifically for combinators/wires and clamping for everything else, which (I think) would make everyone happy.
