Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I think the current recipe is somewhat intentional, but why is this? It induces extra complexity and inconvenience when it comes to automation, like for example I cannot use Create's Mechanical Press or Thermal's Multiservo Press to automate them (sure there are machines for automating crafting in both mods), not to mention Sophisticated Storage's Compacting Upgrades.

Describe the solution you'd like
As the title described. Just change the recipe to 2x2 layout, and that'll make things much easier.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Continue from the first section, the machines referred are Mechanical Crafter and Sequential Fabricator. But why building dedicated machines for a single recipe, when if things are easier I can just integrate it into other existing machines?
