The cost of technology and recipes is an open question, but it is meant to be an upgrade to regular signals, so red and green science is probably not a good idea.
Currently the technology has the same cost as elevated rails, which i think is fine. Maybe it could be moved to blue science, but i think i meed more feedback.
Making chain signals take blue circuits instead of red circuits is an odd decision in hindsight though, i think i'll change that.
