I wouldn't MIND an alternate way of the TEG getting resources that isn't mining.
BUT.. only if it's very limited and just enough to get it going a little, but not maintaining it.
It would be expensive and hard to get. Thus forcing engineering to fully rely on mining to keep it going...otherwise this makes mining obsolete for Engineering. Wich is something you should never do.
Anything that allows you to circumenvent other departments needs to be done in moderation.
The only reason Medbay and the Bar have chemical dispensers is because science chems like to experiment and not be providing all day to Medbay and the Bar to do things. Though other departments needs chemistry too, they can also just ask the bar or medbay when science is too busy making triple meth or experimenting.
Also medbay kinda needs chemicals to treat patients or else they die.. so that's why they have that.
Engineering doesn't NEED these upgrades to do their job, but it is WELCOMING to make em accessiable but not in a way it might undermine mining.
