Vending Machines

This page is under construction. The following information may be incomplete. You can help by adding missing information or formatting.

Space Station 13 is stocked all sorts of different vending machines, which are also sometimes called vendors. These automated shopkeepers dispense everything from soda to monkeys, sometimes for free, sometimes for a price. Some are locked to certain access levels by default; others are publicly accessible. This page contains a list of all the different vending machines you can find on the station/ship and describes various mechanics associated with vending machines.

This page does not cover the Fishing Supplies Vendor, Security Weapons Vendor, and Syndicate Weapons Vendor. These may all look like vending machines, but they are actually their own separate thing, and some of the mechanics described here do not apply to them (e.g. they cannot be hacked, they have infinite stock, so they have no restock cartridges, etc.)

General Mechanics

• Some vendors require you to pay money to dispense items; you pay up by either inserting physical cash or swiping your ID card. (Spacebux is not used for vending machines.) The AI(s) and cyborgs do not have to worry about this.
• You can click-drag a vendor's sprite onto a tile or object's sprite change its output target. If you want it to automatically insert items into a crate, you can click-drag its sprite onto the crate's. If you want it to put items on the tile you're on instead of the tile the machine's on, so you don't have to pick up each individual item, you can click-drag its sprite onto your tile.
• Vending machines can be hacked by manipulating the wires.
  • When people say a machine's been hacked, they usually mean it's been hacked to unlock some hidden items it normally doesn't sell; when hacked this way, the in-game hacking UI states the vendor inventory has been "expanded".
  • You can also hack it to disable any access locks (which also disables AI's ability to use it), electrify the user, and/or throw items at people, which kinda hurts, but hey, free item!
  • The AI can remotely pulse wires on a machine, so they can hack in some functions without needing physical tools. They can't remotely cut wires though.
• You can change a vendor's access requirements using the AccessPro.
• Attacking a vending machine may cause it to tip over, resulting in huge BRUTE and a long stun. Shooting a machine and throwing someone into it can also tip it over.
• If a machine's fallen over due to the above, it can be turned back upright by clicking on it with a crowbar.
• Vending machines are compatible with MechComp.
• Vending machines have limited stock. If it runs out, you might want to refill it with a restock cartridge.
• Ion storms may mess with vending machine settings.

Restock Cartridges

A tiny little cartridge for restocking a particular vending machine. When used on a vending machine, it refills all of the items to their original amounts. This includes any hacked/hidden items, with exception of the security ammo restock cartridge for the AmmoTech; that cartridge does not restock the machine's buckshot.

Most, but not all, vending machines have an associated restock cartridge. The ones that don't are:

• Deus Ex Machina
• JaniTech
• Pizza vending machine
• Zoldorf

In addition, some vending machines do have restock cartridges, but there's no way to obtain them.

Publicly-Available Vendors

Books4u

Sells books, both fiction and non-fiction. Some are in-character guides to various jobs (not every job book is available) while others are simply stories for entertainment. It is usually found in some sort of publicly-accessible area, telling prospective customers, "Read a book today!", "Educate thyself!", and "Book Club meeting in the Chapel, every Thursday!"

Cap'n Bubs' Booze-O-Mat

Main article: Foods and Drinks#Cap'n Bubs' Booze-O-Mat

Contains booze and booze accessories for bar-tending. Drink up!

Cigarette Machine

A vendor that sells cigarettes and all other things related to smoking, cheerfully advertising its wares with slogans like "Space cigs taste good like a cigarette should!", "I'd rather toolbox than switch.", "Don't believe the reports - smoke today!", and, of course, "Smoke!" Often found near the Bar (sometimes even within it).

Main article: Engineering Objects#MechComp Dispenser

Oxygen Vending Machine

Because if people are already selling water, the logical step is selling air, right? This vending machine will replace your air tanks with a set amount pure O2 -- provided you have the cash, of course. Cost of fill-up depends on both the amount of O2 you want and the size of the container.

Public MiniMed

This public vending machine sells basic medical supplies. A few of these can be found all across the station, and they can be easily recognized by their wide range of darkly comedic slogans, such as "Now 80% sterilized!". Despite what the line "ERROR: Item "Stimpack" not found!" implies, these things never sell stimpacks of any kind. Likewise with "Please contact your insurance provider for details on reduced payment options for this machine!": it is not possible to get discounted prices in-game. The full list of lines, including ones already mentioned, is shown below:

• "Address all complaints about Public MiniMed services to FILE NOT FOUND for a swift response."
• "Are you or a loved one currently dying? Consider Discount Dan's burial solutions!"
• "ERROR: Item "Stimpack" not found!"
• "ERROR: OUT OF COFFEE!" (appears only if it has no Robust Coffee when hacked)
• "It pays to be safe!"
• "It's safest to pay!"
• "Now 80% sterilized!"
• "Please contact your insurance provider for details on reduced payment options for this machine!"
• "Please, be considerate! Do not block access to the machine with your bloodied carcass."
• "There is a 1000 credit fine for bleeding on this machine."
• "We've gone green! Now using 100% recycled materials!"

When hacked, it offers more unusual fare, alongside some Robust Coffee for weary souls. If it's screaming "ERROR: OUT OF COFFEE!" though, that means hacking it won't unlock any of said coffee.

Syndicate Apparel

The Syndicate Apparel vending machine in the Listening Post dispenses sinister red and black space-fearing gear and storage items, plus snazzy boots and turtlenecks. While most of this clothing is intended for Syndicate agents, even non-Syndicate members can use this vendor, as there is no access lock. C.A.R.L., who is often situated near this machine, sells the cartridges for restocking this.

Vendomat

Filled with materials that absolutely will be used to create bombs. The game considers this the "standard" vendor, which is why its vendor restock cartridge is labeled "standard restock cartridge". Typically found in Tool Storage and various miscellaneous maintenance areas.

Toxins Vendomat

A special Vendomat (in fact, it just goes by "Vendomat" in-game) found in Plasma Research that has more items and a slightly wider range of products. However, it does not provide flashlights when hacked. Like the standard version, it does not have any access locks and is restocked with the "standard restock cartridge".

IgniChem

By default, only people with Chemical Lab access can use it, which includes science personnel like the Research Director, Scientists, and Research Trainees, as well as the Head of Security, Security Officers, the Head of Personnel, and, of course, the Captain. When hacked, it can also provide street stimulant pills, ???/"cyberpunk" drugs filled with all sorts of adulterants, and a bottle of nasty poison.

Currently, this is only found on Atlas.

It is also a reliable source of health analyzer upgrades and dispenses refill packs for auto-menders. Hacking it unlocks some non-medical chems, including pancuronium, a potent knockout chem, and sulfonal, a combination poison and knockout drug.
