Long Description

This is a simple mod I had an idea for a while ago. Quickly be able to manually turn off and on parts of your circuit network without having to open the UI of a combinator. The mod adds an entity that switches its circuit output between on and off when rotated. Now that constant combinators will able to be turned on and off in 13.0, this mod will be defunct upon its release. Oh well.

When you place the circuit switch there are 2 entities that are automatically placed. The part that looks like a constant combinator is hooked up to the circuit network and the part that looks like a lamp is rotated to turn the the output on/off.

I don't really have any plans to improve it unless anybody wants me to because the new combinators in 13.0 will replace this functionality. I figured I'd throw up what i had done. It works, but that's about it.
