Broken Vending Machine Blues

[Luckily Cursed‽]

Could we please have a toggle for or way to repair broken vending machines? Only reason I ask is for the edge cases where someone has that, "Wait, no no no no no no" moment where they click to swing and panic and just stand there and smash the machine. I know of a few people who suffer from this panic paralysis. It feels a little bad if an easy access to (realistically an unnecessary resource) is removed.

Either that or I'd love to have a means of crafting our own vending machines. Could use particular robot parts to "convince" the bots to restock them as an example, with varying grades of robot processors restocking certain supplies. Also, soda weapons maybe yes?

or better yet be able to package them, then we could steal replacements from portal worlds

Packing up and stealing vending machines feels a bit broken. Then again, you do have to pay to use them. I don't know how to feel about renewable vending machines.

That said, I'd like a way for vending machines to not break, or can be repaired. Granted, I've hardly used them, but it would feel bad to have a base near some, only to break because of an accident or a raid getting a bit out of hand.

Maybe you can repair them, but they still won't be restocked until the next day after when the bots have restocked them.

I wouldn't mind moving around the slushie and coffee machines too while we're at it, honestly.

There's vending machines all over the place though so I'm not sure if it'd be a notable gameplay advantage to begin with

Most people set up in the security room, which has vending machines anyway. By the time you hit Flathill you'll have too much money (hopefully the wandering traders in a future update take cash?).

Besides, once you hit strength 5 you can just shake vending machines for stuff. it's something like 1/10 chance to get something, but it's still free and never breaks the machine.

Yeah not a fan of the idea of losing vending machines permanently for such a small benefit. I hope we can repair them afterwards so they continue to restock.
