A push button for a circuit network. Not an original idea, but want to make sure it's shared properly.

1:38 is when the push button is first featured and demo'd. Conveniently placed inside of a tutorial on building advanced circuit networks:

In the demo there used to activate a light. Lights powered by electricity use switches to turn on.

Or imagine this in a big control panel. Need to shut off that alarm of running out of coal and won't be able to in the next 5 minutes? Why not push a button to shutoff the master alarm?

A gate can detect players and can be used as a push button.

Since we're getting more "everything is doable from the map" it would be nice to have a push-button we can press from the map view.

And while we're at it, it would be fantastic if we could set it to single-tick pulse so we can stop using "rotate that inserter with an item on the ground" for this.

i use https://mods.factorio.com/mod/pushbutton for this, a combinator that emits its signals for 1 tick when pushed
