There does not seem to be any way to specify that the research queue should be enabled from the start in map-gen-settings.json, in map-settings.json, or on the command line itself. The option is there when generating a map using the in-game GUI. So, it seems like it should also be there in one of the settings files. If it is currently possible, then I have not been able to find any information about how to do it.

Update the game and then use difficulty_settings.research_queue_setting in the map settings.

This works. Thank you!
Just so you know, I do not see that setting in map-settings.example.json after updating, but adding it to my map-settings does work.
