Combinator connected to multiple roboports

When I connect a combinator to multiple roboports the input signals are set to twice the logistic network content. see attached screenshots. In the example I set the red signal when prod 3 modules < 1100.
I would expect taht the result would be "content the logistic metwork once" + "everything else it is connected to".

Not a bug.
Each roboport acts as a source for the contents of the logistic network, so if you connect them to a network their output just adds up.

Correct.

Alright, I might have expected a bit more smartness... I don't think it is a huge developement effort to check if the contents of the logistic network are already taken into account.

Why would we spend the time and sacrifice the performance to do that when the correct answer is "don't connect 2 or more roboports to the same circuit network"?

The report is based on an error in my circuit network that I didn't catch. for performance reasons I would understand that fixing this issue might not be worth it.

All the rest of the circuit network works by adding all the inputs together. For chests, tanks and even multiple roboports which aren't in the same logistics network, that is the behaviour the player will normal want. And if you don't want that, then don't connect both sources to the same circuit network.
