Common circuit network option for all belts

Post by Viidi »

TL;DR
Similar to "Hold (all belts)", add the option to use a common circuit network for all belts.


What?
The option makes it so that when connecting wires to any belt, they are connected to a single circuit network. This option works independently of the "Hold (all belts)" option.

Why?
To expand the capabilities of circuit networks.

This would be awesome. Many times I've that this would be the intuitive behaviour, since the belts are all connected now.

Please as option only, because I have use cases where I read multiple different belt pieces of the same belt and want them to be all in different circuit networks.
