Vertical Conveyors with buckets

Describe the Suggestion

One issue I have personally had quite frequently in create is moving items up. While this is possible through a variety of means in create, it's often rather janky. One thing that would solve this issue while being aesthetically pleasing is the ability to add a bucket to a vertical belt to make it a vertical conveyor. Visually this would put a small bucket along each section of the belt, that would "scoop" up items at the bottom and then pour them out on the top.

Since you're lifting items, I think it would make sense balance-wise to have belts with buckets attached have a stress-load, unlike normal belts which just rotate freely. Potentially the stress load could even increase based on how long (i.e. : high) the belt goes or how much it's carrying, incentivising alternative methods for long distance item travel such as cargo elevators.

Screenshots and Videos

In real life systems look something like this https://5.imimg.com/data5/JT/ND/MY-1386269/bucket-conveyor-500x500.jpg.

The idea is basically just an automated bucket, and is even refered to as a vertical bucket conveyor or just bucket conveyor.

Additional Context

While it's hard to argue that something should be added purely for aesthetic reasons, I do want to stress that I think this would add a great aesthetic addition to Create as well as technical.
