Wired circuit conditions are not working if a belt or pump was previously connected to the logistic network.

STR:
1. Place two belts
2. Check the Connect box the first belt to connect to the logistic network
3. Connect a wire between the belts
4. Set a true condition, such as "water = 0"
5. The first belt will not be enabled, but the second will with the same conditions

Expected: Both belts are enabled
Actual: Only the second belt is enabled
Workaround: Copy a working entity's settings or rebuild the entity.

This also works with fluids signals as seen in the attached save file.

All belts connected to the logistics network fail to meet their conditions ([]<0 is always false) and are therefore disabled, circuit network conditions are met for all belts and are therefore irrelevant in the whole setup so all I can see is working fine, or am I misunderstanding what you consider to be the bug?

There was some confusion on my part. I didn't realize you could be connected to the logistic network and wired network at the same time. In my attached save file I have a false condition (logistics) and a true condition (wired connection).

It's not clear to me as a user which has the priority (enabling vs disabling or logistics vs wires), but it sounds like this is not a bug.

There is no priority, "enabled" is the default so circuit condition and logistic condition build an AND gate.

Thank you, that makes sense. This can be closed in my opinion.

When I found this feature (few month ago) I was suprised that is not highlighted anywhere. Option to add 2 conditions on a single inserter could simplify some creation a lot.
If you can, would you add a note to the wiki ?

Suggestion :
- If the logistic and wired networks are both connected, show both UIs side by side when the entity UI opens.
- If the logistic network is not connected, keep the current behavior.
