Mod Request/Idea, growing coral samples

[GSmog]

Like coral is technically alive, so I always thought it was odd I couldnt put some in my alien containment and grow it like I can gel sacks, mushrooms and so on. Would be very useful too if I could have a bunch of coral growing if I wanted an easy way to make computer chips or bleach. Not sure why we cant already, I can clearly see coral in our containments. Why cant I just knife the coral in there at least?

 

Certainly there's gotta be a way we can do this right? I looked at a mod called something like improved alien containment hoping it did something like that but instead it just seemed to make rules on stuff you needed to hatch eggs... not what I was looking for. :/
