Describe the Suggestion

Hello! I absolutely love this mod, and I'm stunned by the amazing work the team has done.

The addition of the Contraption Controls is extremely useful, especially in specialized machines made from minecart or train contraptions. However, I keep finding myself wishing that it was possible to enable/disable specific actors in a contraption, rather than disabling every actor of a type together.

I think a fairly intuitive way to implement this functionality would be to allow the use of the standard dyes on contraption actors before the contraption is assembled. Then, you would also allow the player to use dyes on the contraption controller (in addition to the existing filter slot).

If there is a filter set in the Contraption Controller, it would only control actors which match the filter AND have the corresponding dye color applied to them. If there is no filter set, it would control actors of ALL types with the corresponding dye color applied.

This would allow contraption controllers to maintain their current functionality and ease-of-use, while also enabling players to have fine-grained control of contraptions when necessary.

Random addition - to go along with it, you could have some sort of "color palette" item which can store dyes and allows players to quickly swap to a different color (to save on inventory space). In terms of functionality, think of something like the Akashic Tome, but for dyes
