[Suggestion] More uses for Lubricant in the early game + Coolant idea using Antimony

These are my main ideas:
• More uses for Lubricant - Processing machines like Macerators, Compressors and Cutting Machines could consume 1mb of Lubricant every 10 ticks when working for more than 5 seconds. Suggesting this because Lubricant has way too few uses outside of speeding up overclock progress in electric machines and as "fuel" for Cutting Machines.
• Synthetic Coolant - Made with 4x Antimony Dust, 250mb of either Raw or Synthetic Oil and 2x Lapis Dust in a Mixer. Used to cool down machines that are prone to heating due to constant friction of its parts, like Macerators and Cutting Machines, maybe Compressors too. Suggesting it because machines usually are set and forget, specially in the early game and I want them to require a little bit more of infrastructure before starting to lay them out in the processing lines. Also makes more use of Antimony outside of making Battery Alloy and RAM Sticks
Probably tiny dusts instead of regular dusts, since my idea also affects electric machines, so alongside energy consumption, you'll need to worry about lubricant and coolant production/throughput as well
