Searchable Vending Machines

[TarynBR]

Hello there. I have come across a mod that i think would be great for people having a hard time finding a drink in dire situations. 

Pros of this mod:

• Easily found drinks
• Potentially life saving in some situations
• frequent updates
• Vending machines can be searched many ways. Some faster, but at the risk of destroying the machine.

Cons of this Mod:

• It's another mod and could be seen as mundane to some.

Voted no. The fact that it is easily found food and drinks. At this point they should all be empty.

I said this a while ago but with a change to what’s proposed here.

Id like to see vending machines given a inventory so rather than just being searched things can be put in them aswell.

If that was available then vending machines could be decent dead drops  for RP purposes.

That's a nice idea. I remember when somewhere around 0.62 some wardrobes were given inventory, sadly it wasn't persisten. I was hoping that sooner or later we'll be able to use inventory provided by furniture of the house, instead of bring barrels etc.

I voted no. I think by 3 years into the apocalypse vending machines would be picked clean by now, therefore wouldn't make sense adding this mod. Besides it will probably going to lag the server out which is also a big no.

Surely all vending machines would have been looted and smashed to pieces?!  I don’t see what this mod would bring to benefit the server imo.

If you could actually hide things in them I would say yes. I'm not sure how this would affect server performance because it seems to just be a script. I think I'm gonna say no just because the benefits don't outweigh the potential drawbacks.

They were re added for the 1.06 experimental patch for Livonia, but seems Bohemia removed them for re-release at another date.

 

As for the suggestion, I wouldn't mind it. It would make exploration a bit more complex and give some utility to vending machines.

No because, we could implement much more useful mods rather than more needless means of acquiring useless items. Mods that add to RP should be prioritized. Especially not one deal, cut and dry concepts like this.

Drinks aren't a useless item. But I see your point of view.
