Usage
I/O
The Buffer Gate has 1 input and 3 output. When placed, on the ground, the input is the side facing the player while the other sides are the outputs.
Logic
The outputs are enabled when the input is enabled.
Configuration
A shift-right-click with a screwdriver can toggle which outputs are active. Disabled outputs don't emit power when it should, nor will said outputs connect to wires.
When shift+right-clicked, the gate's outputs are manipulated in this order: All active, right disabled, left disabled, right and left disabled.
Applications
The Buffer Gate is commonly used as a diode to allow a signal to run one way through a wire but not the other. Signals coming from the back of the gate (input) will be relayed to the front (output), but a signal coming from the front will not be sent to the back.
