		+	As of [https://gitlab.com/MRAAGH/aagrinder/-/commit/65a6f64cf4c1f851c7a65721d9c05f3a4330c270 4th August 2024], it is possible to make a one-way gate with a certain configuration of wires. When adjacent wires are placed, they both immediately connect together. Afterwards, it is possible to rotate them, by right-clicking with another wire. This way, one can achieve a wire pointing towards another wire which is not pointing back. This pattern functions as a one-way gate for signals.
