It would be nice to see Circuit Logic on hover as an option in the settings instead of having to click into each one manually to see it.

From observation hovering now only shows active I/O signals, but there should be enough room to all so show the logic of an entity, or the enable conditions.

I use a pole to see that.

I would appreciate this suggestion, but on the other hand it’s not quite logical, because what you see then is not the part of the circuit entity you are pointing to.

And there are cases, where no space is left: when you use the logistic network output from a roboport. So there is still a pole needed.

Seeing the output of a circuit is indeed visible on a pole.

Seeing the circuit formula for an inserter, comparator, etc is not. It would be nice to, at a mouseover/glance see that an inserter has a condition of belts < 400 or that an arithmetic is iron / 8 instead of copper / 8.

Yes, you can click the entity, but that does not work when viewed from the map. The only workaround is to physically move to the location of the entity and then click it - just to view it's current setting.

Thanks for correcting me.
