Hi,

i try to understand, how to use red and green wire. In all tutorials the smart inserters have red and green wire conditions. My smart inserters say "Logistic network condition - not connected". What am I doing wrong ?

To make the inserter part of a logistic network, it needs to be inside the orange supply area of a roboport. To make it part of a circuit network, you need to actually connect it to something with a wire. Select a wire, right click inserter, right click power pole, then connect that to a smart chest or something.

Those tutorials are outdated. Now signals from red and green wires sum. So if you want logic conditions, use combinators. https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-88

Just to clarify in case any confusion remains: the red and green wire conditions are now housed under "circuit condition", which will become applicable after you wire up the smart inserter.
