When you are making over 20 [shop]s, it starts taking time to go to each individual one and open them,
i just dont see a need for them to automatically be closed?

It would be nice if they were set as open instead, then it would save time and effort while making shops.

Or at least let us change this in island settings?

 

Definitely suggest this as a island setting to enable by default or even in the shop sign gui, allow it to be default there would be great
