Medbays, filling out rooms, and Base Beacons

So, I had an idea for something that could be added. Yes, it's probably been suggested once before but I couldn't find it, so I apologise. Seriously, no need for pitchforks and torches.
A medbay. It'd be something that'd take up an entire 'room,' and use power to heal the player instead of medkits. While this sounds broken, I figure the broken-ness could be offset by the fact that
a) it'd take up an entire room,
b) it'd be expensive resource-wise, and
c) you can't stuff it in an inventory and take it with you.

And second- I've noticed that once you get your subs and such, there's really not much of a reason to build a base that's more than one room, a moon-bay, perhaps a connector and a hatch somewhere. And the hatch is optional. I mean all the "Furniture" needed to build a functional base can be stuffed into one room, and bam- no need to expand.

Maybe we could get things that take up more space? Or more furniture and functional items?
Off the top of my head I could use say, a bed to 'time skip' past night- especially early game. A fridge to keep those cooked fish edible for longer, so long as they're not removed.
And... some decorative stuff would be nice. Even if it's "Military Galley style table-with-benches," It'd feel more like I might actually be able to sit and eat rather than parking my wetsuit-clad butt on the floor to chew on that unknown fish, or eat standing up. A friend of mine suggested shutters for windows, just... so you can toggle them. It'd be cosmetic but some folk might like it.

This is just me spitballing, of course. But it is stuff I'd love to see...

    I like the idea of a Medbay. It would also be a perfect pretext to implement status effects too for maybe the hardcore difficulty. some predators or flora could induce poison effects or disease that the Medbay could cure. also, eating raw fish could induce food poisonning ... i dunno. anyway the Medbay could be a cool idea yes :D

    you could make it so you also have to keep the medbay stocked with stuff (like bleach)
