Add the Capitol Hill Mystery Soda Machine Somewhere In The Labs Sector

[Gods Silliest Gaymer]

Hiya!

so as the title says, id love to see the Capitol Hill Mystery Soda Machine as one of the anomaly's in abiotic factors labs sector/containment area of the cascade labs.
What is the Capitol Hill Mystery Soda Machine you may be asking?
Well if you want a much more in depth explanation on it, please check out the official wikipedia article on it, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Hill_mystery_soda_machine

but for those who want a TLDR: a mysterious soda machine in 2014 showed up in Seattle and dispensed old labels of well known brands, and even had soda's that were completely out of production, all ice cold. but one day, it just disappeared, and all that was left was a sticky note behind where it was at saying "went for a walk, need to find myself"

I love the idea of this vending machine being one of the anomaly's that the scientists at arch gate managed to find for its "unique properties of dispensing out of production sodas" and having it be something you can find somewhere in the labs sector of the facility, whether in a break room, somewhere in a containment cell, or maybe replacing one of the vending machines our beloved Janet and Abe stand next to!

as for features: I'd love it it could dispense random rare materials depending on which button you press, but have a 50/50 chance of dispensing soda or the actual Rare item itself. Something such as:

.Refined Carbon
.Silverware Scraps
.Ammo for the 9mm pistol
.Ice Cream
.Antiverse seeds
.some new variant of soda thats a can of the antiverse juice from later in the game

now these are just some ideas of course, if the devs feel these arent good options thats totally fine, i feel it should be a 1 in 10 chance of actually getting a rare item out of this machine, or potentially even have it teleport an item directly from the players home storage without them knowing as one of the possible outcomes.

Maybe as a super rare option it drops a live grenade out of the vending machine if you shake it too much! Maybe it just randomly drops a gun or a bobble head, who knows!

all i do know is: id love if this would be considered as a possible option for an easter egg and new feature to Abiotic factor down the line, as a mysterious IRL vending machine somehow showing up in a facility full of anomaly's, sounds 100% like it would work in the universe of abiotic factor!

That might be a hard sell, given we already got the Anomalous Vending Machine theme covered.

Also that is rather... awkward...? for it to have a high chance of giving an item, sometimes a high tier crafting item. Paying $5 or so (or even just $1) for things I could already farm from elsewhere doesn't feel worth it. And the slot machine aspect might be out of place for a game like this.
