Software testing? Nah, I'm just a plumber that likes to play Factorio and while I do like to learn things it is unlikely my career will change any time soon. This stemmed from (anything >= 0) not displaying an image on the display panel without a signal and also wanting to have a signal on both nixie tubes at the right and left ends in the event that I flipped the blueprint, which I don't think is even necessary.
Updated and retraced my steps. It appears to be plumber-proof for now. Thanks King.
