Vending Machines

Description
Vending Machines are placeable block-items that make up part of the Bartering system. There are 3 types of Vending Machines: the Standard Vending Machine, the Player-Rentable Vending Machine, and the Player-Owned Vending Machine. All of the Vending Machines use Duke's Casino Tokens in order to make purchases.

Standard Vending Machine
The Standard Vending Machine is located at each Trader as well as various other Points of Interest found throughout the world in 7 Days to Die. At these machines, players can purchase various Food and Drinks for Duke's Casino Token.

The Buy Price for the food and drink items is standard at every Vending Machine. Food and drinks are sold at exactly their base cost, and are not affected by buffs to Bartering. This is in contrast to Traders who mark such items up to 300% of their base value, but the cost of their items is affected by buffs to Bartering.

Without Bartering buffs a vending machine will have lower prices than a Trader, however with a high enough buff to buying prices a Trader can sell things cheaper. See Bartering for more details.

Player-Rentable Vending Machine
Player-Rentable Vending Machines can be rented for a fee of 2500 Duke's Casino Tokens. The fee covers the renting of the machine for 30 days. During this time, the player can add items from their inventory to the vending machine. Prices can be increased above Standard price or reduced to as low as 20% of Standard Price. From Player-rented vending machines, other players may purchase the items that have been placed within. Sometimes, items are sold to NPCs. (NPCs in this regard exist only as buyers; they can neither be seen, interacted with, or otherwise dealt with.) Exact mechanics of this selling to NPCs are not known currently, but Price is said to have some effect. Note that upon expiration of a rent, all items still in the machine are lost! (This is as of Alpha 19.6, unconfirmed in further game updates.)

Player-Owned Vending Machines
Player-Owned Vending Machines can currently only be bought from the secret stash of Traders. They are said to sell items only to other Players; they never have items sold to NPCs like the Player-Rented Vending Machines.
