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 restock it with a vendor restock cartridge.
• Ion storms may mess with vending machine settings.

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.

Coffee Machine

A machine you can find at every corner, that sells coffee and other hot drinks, but most importantly chicken soup, the fastest cure from food poisoning.

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.

Vendomat

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.
