Soda Quality of Life

You can make glass bottles at a glass recycler, the same thing you make glasses from. They're in bars, and sometimes in chemistry depending on the map (also the space diner if you can't get to them for whatever reason). You can use the handheld labelers found all over/in stationery cabinets to name your bottles.

The fancier bottles (the ones that are fancily colored glass/artsy labels) aren't able to made, and I personally think that should stay like that - makes them more unique.

I would approve of the following:

• bottle + paper = labelled bottle (visually, it has a white label running around it)
  
• labelled bottle + marker lets you label it something unique (as per the unique bottles), e.g. "McAssistant's Lukewarm Urine"
  
• labelled bottle + crayon colors in the paper to give it a background
  
• labelled bottle + pen/pencil lets you change its description text (though it would still include some stuff about it being a bottle)
  
• labelled bottle + splash of acetone = bottle
  

This could be extended to other containers that it makes sense for, specifically the larger reagent bottles, the smaller reagent bottles, and beakers. Probably not suitable for glasses, maybe for vials.

An extension of this that touches materials and is therefore terrifying would be to add them to the nanofabricators, which would create bottles made out of crystal material (glass, molitz, gems, telecrystals, whatever godforsaken alloy you've made).

There's no reason we couldn't have variants of the nanofabricators to fill specific roles (e.g. one that can only spit out assorted glassware/cutlery), then put those in the right places.

bless you mordent. bless you

Also I did have the idea of some simple dye reagents, which I'm going to make a separate thread about because I think they could have some hilarious implications done properly.
