Issue Setting Up Ballast Pumps

#1
Hey, I'm trying to blunder my way through building my first submarine, and I'm having an issue getting the ballasts set up properly. The problem is that I cannot get the pumps to start in their running state. I can run down to the pumps in game and turn them on, and they will work after that, but that's not something I want people to have to do to get the submarine up and running.

I have read that the way you're supposed to set it is by using character mode in the editor and checking the "Running" box for the pumps, but for some reason I cannot check this box in the editor. If anyone can let me know what I'm doing wrong, please let me know. If it matters the version I am on is 0.5.4.3
