I like the vacuum room idea, the docking idea is probably already covered, once Tam-computers are put on all the ships they should be able to handle that stuff.
I could also build tam-unit a real body and be even lazier, she could fill the hopper and clean up the house. And umm... yeah.
But yeah, there's a certain point where you don't really need to build anything anymore, there's a lack of drive to build more if you don't really need it. YA seems pretty set that way now, although there are always little tweaks, additions and upgrades. Like the light system he built instead of using hundreds of stationary lights, just one device.

Tor: Has met Zack in his worldline. It was what he wanted to talk to Dareg about in private when he came to visit, but put off?
Gwen: Has met Zack in her world, and he and possibly some others will be part of her next story, though in a much lower ratio than in SOI.
Brian: Has NOT met Zack yet and won't for a good long time. At least a year and a half in his world. Sara is nine in SOI, but seven in Hush. There are two more book in that series and time wise they are close to each other, so it will be a while.
Glenda: Brian has not met her in her story world (It isn't her story, belonging to Ben, the main character. What, you thought that all the main characters were secretly Tor? How boring!) That will take place partway through book three. (At a guess. I haven't written it yet.)
*You do all get that the spelling of names changes based on the person whose story it is, right? Then, if they learn the correct spelling, it will alter for them? There are at least two books were I use this gimmick.

And on building, I got thinking about Sam's assignment that Dareg needed to come up with 100 new build ideas, and decided to do that myself. Honestly, beyond housing, food, clothing, shields, transport, and communication, there's nothing else that really NEEDS to be built. I came up with a hundred of them, but it took me a long time, and most of them were fluff, like building shield-TP (drop it in the toilet and it deactivates!) hot tubs, voicemail, text messaging, and alarm clocks. Out of everything I came up with, more than half of it would mean less work available for people, though.
There were a few things that I think would actually help out, of course, like an auto docking feature on ships or in ports to improve safety and speed things up, or teleportation rooms (walk into an airtight room that has a greatly expanded jump shield with someone to operate it, shield everything you want to move, pump out the air so it's vacuum outside of the shield, then jump to another airless room on, say, the moon, or Austra.)

So it's possible it happened already, although my gut agrees that it hasn't happened in the YA second arc's timeline yet. I also remember Dale mentioning he had second thoughts about what happens in Shield of Innocence, that the other realities weren't quite ready for it, so that's why my gut says it hasn't happened yet.
Speaking of important things, I want one of those, my very own tam-unit. LOL. I'd never have to cook again, or take out the trash, or even work.
Nah, no Tam-unit for me, I'm lazy enough as it is.
