Feature Request: Support for WorkingState on Controllers and Custom Machine Parts #166

Hello, first of all thank you very much for the amazing work on this mod!

I would like to very kindly request a small feature that could make Modular Machinery even more flexible.

Currently, the crushing wheel already exposes and updates the WorkingState (idle/working), and this is very useful for creating visual feedback when the machine is operating. However, this feature does not seem to be available on controllers or other machine parts.

👉 My requests would be:

Expose the WorkingState on Controllers as well (idle/working), so that machine controllers can also change model/appearance when the machine is running.

Provide a way for us to create machine parts similar to the crushing wheel — i.e. blocks in the structure that change their model when the machine is working. This would allow custom blocks to visually reflect the machine’s active state, just like the wheel does.

This would open up many possibilities for custom content and integration with other mods, while staying consistent with the modular approach you already designed.

Thank you very much for considering this suggestion!

sorry my bad english...
