Re: Help With a Signal Network Set-up
Way too many combinators. One constant, one decider and one arithmetic are sufficient. The arithmetic is only for signal isolation/merging and might be able to be removed in 2.1. The conditions in the decider might be a bit more complicated than necessary, but I recall having the recipe switch ...

Re: Math behind Quality
Your repetition counts are far too low to have statistical relevance.
The both setups are essentially a self recycling loop, only the input you count is one step before that loop. A standard self recycling loop takes 2726.9095067473136 common per legendary; accounting for the +200% prod in your ...

Re: Rail alignemt vertical / horizontal
Shift everything except for the rails one tile to the left and everything will line up properly.
As the others have already mentioned, rails align on a 2x2 grid. So, if you are designing a blueprint that includes rails, start with the rails (or at least put a rail on top of the planned rotation ...

Re: Thrusters activate in odd pattern [2.0.76]
The only thing left is the inconsistent behavior between the map editor (I can't place thrusters) and remote view (I can).
From what I recall from the attempt of eradicating fluid mixing during 1.x (or was it still 0.18 at that point?), this is intentional. There always was some corner case ...

Re: How to find the material have maximum quantity with a combinator.
Isn't that just selecting the maximum of the input signals? That's a selector combinator in its default configuration.
With some hardcoding you could map straight to the reprocessing recipe signal with a decider and a constant; see this post, "Map item to recipe".

Is this right as it is? The white line joining the AND and the first OR makes it look like "(Green signal > 0 AND purple =0) OR orange = 0". Am I just reading it incorrectly?

Re: Modifying contents of logistic network
Not possible. The signals you get from the logistics network are always the items currently available to that logistics network. There's no method for changing them, other than putting items into or out of chests.
In your example I'd just set the inserter to iron plate < 1000.

Re: [2.0.73] Inconsistent overflow behavior for input into different combinators
In the linked thread, the constant combinator has multiple specifications for the same signal, where I agree that following regular circuit behaviour / wrap-around makes sense.
Since you don't mention using multiple input fields, that reasoning doesn't apply here.
What I'd prefer: Each input field ...

I see this was moved to "Not a bug", but this is still a bug, despite Editor Mode being at play.
You still had mods enabled. If they aren't at fault you should be able to reproduce this in vanilla.
So I tried just that.

The issue is that you've assigned all request counts the same value; give them all distinct values and the replacement will work as expected.
