Like I said on discord, I agree with this change but I think it also gives us room to introduce upgrades to fabricators as well, much like how the cloner has its upgrades.
One of my favorite aspects of TG is their research mechanics via RnD which helps with improving QoL on station via upgrading machines and what not, I don't ever see anything like that remotely being added to Goon BUT I do think that this PR could be a stepping stone to introduce working with other departments for QoL things for their own department.
I think Engineering should be able to produce speed upgrades for fabricators (and if this is something that did happen, maybe even decreased material cost upgrades and so on) as it makes the most sense for Engineering to upgrade machines on station in the first place. How would engineering get the upgrades? Idk, but I think it would be really good.
