Ideas for improvements to Meal times (Including Bionics - Possible Spoiler Warning)

[LaShomb]

This update got me thinking about how dupes "feed" themselves. It would fun if mess tables could be set to store a meal (like a pedestal) and an automated sweeper arm could pull food/batteries out of storage and set the tables just before meal time. If the table is set they will eat the assigned meal, otherwise they will bring food to the table. (If they are carrying food to the table when it is stocked, they may need to drop what they have at the table when they switch to eating their prepared meal instead.)

Bionic dupes might need a different sort of mess table and it would be nice if they could join everyone for meal time. Their equivalent could be equipped to store multiple batteries and a gear balm instead of salt. It would be nice if it had a setting similar to the Massage Table, where if the bionic is below a certain number of batteries they are assigned to fill up to at least a set quantity. It would allow struggling colonies to only have bionics fill up to a certain level to better share a limited battery supply, and the lower threshold could trigger restocking during work periods the way that starvation does for normal dupes. (Changing a critically power level bionics schedule to downtime is bit of a hassle.)

Maybe an extra bonus for warm meals and a microwave building to heat it up just before meal time. Clever players could just run the food through some hot tiles on rails first or plan for food fresh from the grill to go to tables. Food will get a little stale in the process, but that isn't an issue if it's to be eaten right away. Perhaps bionics prefer their batteries frozen playing off of recommendation to store batteries at cooler temperatures and could give an excuse to have them storable in refrigerators and give a benefit to any power used to chill them. 

It would be nice if a water cooler in the Mess/Great hall would be used as part of the meal process. If after eating they naturally went for a drink. For bionics, it would be neat if the water cooler had an option for machine oils; maybe just Phyto Oil so that there is a purpose for making it after you have crude oil. Similar for Juicers, Espresso, and Soda with special recipes for bionics. It would be fun if the moral boost or effect duration was improved by serving the correct temperature liquids. I don't think using those buildings adds to bladder or gunk, but it should and dupes can just avoid them if they are over a certain threshold full.
