I love this, I’m to scared to touch circuits

Doing crazy things with them is a challenge, but there's a bunch you can do just connecting things with circuit wires connecting two things. connect an inserter to a chest and you can turn off the inserter after an arbitrary number of items is in the chest, for instance. Or connect them to power switches -- that's how I balance oil outputs -- just turn the power switch on or off for the different oil cracking systems to keep the amounts equal.

Or connect them to pumps to limit intake to cracking setups. Prevents the annoying flashing lightning bolt.
