I have a blueprint with parameters 0 through 6, where 1 through 6 are the ingredients of 0. all have different default values. Nuclear reactor used as testing recipe.
entering "sign(p1_r-10000)" into one of the formula boxes gives -1.
entering "sign(p6_r-10000)" into another one of the formula boxes gives 0 (as unused parameters apparently have a rocket capacity of 10000).
entering "sign(p1_r-10000)+sign(p6_r-10000)" into a third formula box gives 0. -1+0 does not equal 0 so this is incorrect.
assigning the first two to variables a and b respectively and entering "a+b" into a fourth box gives -1, which is correct.

On my end the variables aren't even being recognized as valid by the formula editor. This happens in blueprints I've used before, but using OP's blueprint, I see:

It gets stranger: despite the formula editor saying my variables are wrong, I can save it, and paste it and it calculates fine.

Ah looks like my problems are assigned here viewtopic.php?t=128863. OP's issue seems unrelated, my bad.
