Hello all,

When I'm setting up combinators I don't always connect the wires first because I'm not always sure where I would want to take the signal from.
In the off chance that I need red and green separate, I now have to connect 2 wires, pre-select red/green on the condition, and disconnect the wires to keep going.

This is not at al a problem, but I would like to have a menu setting to unlock it in combinators.
Much like you have the setting "pick ghost item if no items are available" off by default to not confuse new players but able to turn on once you understand what it does, I would like to have a setting to unlock the wire pre-selector if possible.

In the hidden settings, enable `circuit-network-selection-always-enabled`.

If you do not know how to go to hidden settings: While in main menu hold Ctrl+Alt when clicking Settings, and "The rest" option will show up.

I did not know there were hidden settings, I will go through these. Thank you for the solution and my apologies for suggesting something that already exists (perfectly on-brand for Factorio lol)
