Any way to automatically deliver water to algae terrariums while keeping them on a mesh tile?
Was wondering if there is a way to pump a bit of water and for it to automatically be bottled in any way to be delivered for algae. I guess in the long term it does not matter, but I seem to always have to choose between quick and easy water emptying or liquid provision. There is this:

But is there no way to make sure the algae gets the water while still having them stand on top of a mesh tile? As in, having some sort of automated way to store water in bottles and then having those bottles be delivered to them on a shipping line?

Autosweepers in vanilla version cannot pick up bottles.

But you can supply water like this:

Another option *(albeit not one with the bottles)
Is to use the valves, *(not shutoffs, just dont remember the name off hand), that restrict water flow. Currently I have 1 pump giving water to 13 terrariums the bare minimum water, because the valves have restricted the water of each line from 10kg/s to 300g/s.

one note i encountered, the valves seemed to not work right once you set them, until you save and reload, NO idea why they didnt all just work fine the first tiem, but it is a nice simple early game solution.
Autosweepers for algae, and deoderizers for Poxygen, gives a very good breathable gas on water spent ratio.

Valves need to be set by a dupe.

Set em up, dupe came by, all valves stated it was set to 300g/s, but alll of them except the first one that was toggled was letting far more through.
problem didn't fix itself until i re-loaded.

Its also not the first time i've had dupes toggle them and they don't work till I reload. Though I thought it was fixed for launch, since I didnt touch them afterward during the beta frustruation.

Oh, so the auto-sweepers can't even sweep the bottles, let alone there being an automated way to make the bottles. There is a way to automate (I think) creation of gas canisters, but strange that water bottles cannot be automatically picked up, nor can they be made without mopping to begin with.
