TL;DR
Devices such as roboports could have an option to output their signals as negative values by checking a box in the gui.What ?
A checkbox labeled "Polarity" in the Circuit Network gui of roboports, chests, train stops, fluid tanks, conveyor belts, inserters and accumulators.An option in the Circuit Network gui for Decider Combinators ie "Input Count", "1" or "-1"
