The mod also adds a bunch of existing ones (pictured) made from materials like Andesite, Brass, Copper, and Weathered Iron.
They're all also functional for encasing shafts!

Robo bees can travel in unloaded chunks, so this works at any distance (although you still need to chunkload the packager to make requests, and the destination must be loaded too)
You could have a bigger lava storage that only requests lava when under a certain threshold (preventing an overuse of bee drones, especially across longer distances.)
I also tried this with diesel engines, and it worked great!
I heard Create More: Package Couriers (cardboard plane packages) works across dimensions too, which eliminates the need to have a train to bring Lava from the nether to the overworld first.
I find it genuinely insane that, while trying to showcase this addon's compatability, I accidentally realized Mechanical Crafters can craft onto a depot or any storage it's facing.
