all actors on a train can now be controlled with one single contraption controll

It looks like this is not configurable per-control. There are certainly instances where this would not be optimal behaviour - for example, I might have a long trackbed-laying train, and have different carriages for different materials that I could activate separately.

It might be best either to have a separate (brass-themed?) contraption controls block for this feature, or to carefully consider which actors should be train-global and which should be carriage-local (though this may introduce significant confusion).

Thanks for the PR.
I agree with sam, there are cases where separated controls are helpful.
Doors are now special cased to behave like this, though. That should cover the use case you presented

[ProgrammerLP]

Nice that doors are now special cases, but i think a seperated control for this would be nice, because there are also use case to control things over the entire train. So should i add these in a new pr? An other solution would be a tag, all controllable actors with a specific tag will be controlled over the entire train?

[ProgrammerLP]

Because in my addon there will be new blocks which should also be able to control on all carriages

[simibubi]

Changing it to tag-based is more likely to get merged than a second version of the contraption controls

[ProgrammerLP]

Ok, thanks, I will try a tag based system
