Scientist Loadable Vending Machine

Well, that and the fact that making things in large batches (e.g. synthflesh) is really tedious and boring.

Making self-serve patches and charging for them seems like a good idea.

Synthflesh is stupendously easy to make. Instead of dumping the Styptic Reserve Tank you stole from Medbay (because that's what scientists DO) onto the floor, use it to make synthflesh, since going from styptic to synthflesh is way easier than making styptic from scratch. It's more difficult to get the doctors to actually use it, since communication between chemists and doctors is surprisingly difficult and most of the time they ignore each other. If I'm a doctor asking Chemistry to make something, they'll ignore me, but if I'm a chemist making things for Medbay without being asked, it's just about guaranteed they're going to sit unused and unnoticed on the floor or table for the entire round. In theory, the Research Director and Medical Director have access to both the Research and Medical frequencies so they ought to be able to coordinate it, but even the doctors don't use the medical frequency.
