Make Self Vending Machines More Robust - Jakson - 03-19-2022

People tend to enjoy selling unique and valuable objects in the few instances that these are made, and the fact that anything inside can be stolen with just two clicks with some tools doesn’t seem right. Normal vending machines are fine but the player vending machines need to be a little more robust or more difficult to hack.

Maybe attachable security devices, like canister bombs?

I mean similar to how you can attach things to canister bombs, not using a canister bomb as a security device. Unlesssss

Ooo idea make mousetrap pipebombs able to be put inside the machines armed and if someone goes rummaging around in there boom.

Put a monkey in it to bite anyone who takes it apart.

the mechcomp payment thing lets you put a 4 digit pinlock on it.

so maybe that could work

Dang it froggit there wasn’t supposed to be a good idea here! (Yeah that would be a good solution)

The thing should also output a mechcomp signal saying it's being hacked whenever an incorrect number is entered, so you can use that to message your PDA that it's going on. If it's not mechcomp enabled already then just tapping it with your PDA while it's unlocked should suffice; it should message that PDA when an incorrect number is entered, with a cooldown of like, 30-60 seconds, and a new one when it's unlocked.

Yes. Please.

Maybe you just set up an address and it directs a message at that address? So you could use your pda, or some wifi comp auto theft prevention system or whatever you'd like.
