So, to keep this short and to the point. Me and my friends were talking about this. Sometime in the mid to late game there could be a chip that gives plans for a personal Taz-Bot. Though a none combat version that would do menial tasks around your base! If a grinder's queue for mushroom slurry gets finished, it would go and collect the finished materials and re-queue the same item. As long as the required items are available, after a set amount are made, or you tell it to stop it would keep working.
I hope this idea catches some attention and I'm not sure if it's been asked before. Though I hope it can spark discussion as well!
