You are a meta-human in the survival horror world of Once Human. In this MMORPG, you will be tasked with hunting Deviants and helping survivors. In doing so, you'll be collecting resources and crafting various tools and machines.

There are several communities where different merchants have set up shop situated across the region. Meta-humans can buy certain items from them, but those unavailable at the stores may be found in Vending Machine owned by other meta-humans. If you've got items to sell, you can set up a Vending Machine too!

The Vending Machine is a technology that you can unlock in the Memetics menu. You can find this under the Logistics branch.

Unlocking this will cost you 500 Ciphers or Meme Points and 700 Energy Links.

Meme Points or Ciphers can be obtained by leveling up, accomplishing Season Goals, and securing new Deviants during a season.

Energy Links can be earned when you complete exploration tasks and commissions, and clear dungeons.

Unlike other Memetics, there is no prerequisite needed to unlock the Vending Machine. You can do so as early as possible, but you shouldn't unlock it unless you have an idea of what you want to sell.

The Vending Machine is a facility that can only be placed on your territory. You will want it positioned somewhere visible and accessible to meta-humans passing by.

To build one, enter build mode. This is set to 'B' by default. Once in build mode, right-click to open your build menu. You'll find the Vending Machine under the Facilities tab.

Head to the Function Facility tab, then select the Vending Machine from the list of Special items. You can place it down once you have all the required materials.

A Vending Machine will not function without two watts of supplied electricity. You will need to attach it to a power source such as a Solar Generator using a wire.

Press 'F' while in front of the Vending Machine to open its menu. On your left you'll see all the items you can put up for sale. On the right, you'll see what you have on your machine's shelves.

The Vending Machine shelves are what is visible to meta-human shoppers.

Select any item for selling by left-clicking it. Another screen will appear where you can decide how many of each item you'll be selling and for how much.

Under the Settlement Method, you have the option to use Item Exchange or Energy Links.

Using Item Exchange will allow you to set your item to be available for trade for any particular item you want. Using the Energy Links option will allow you to set the unit price of your item.

The maximum amount of Energy Links you can set as a price for an item is 99999.

When you're happy with the price of your item, you can click 'Put Up For Sale' or press 'F' to add it to your shelf.

You can advertise the different items you have in your Vending Machine to other meta-humans and boost your sales.

Click on the gear beside 'Enter Advertisement' to get started on writing your slogan. The Slogan Setting menu will open up, and you will have 30 characters available to make up your slogan.

Think of something that captures everything you have up for sale in order to entice meta-humans to come visit your Vending Machine. When you're happy with what you've written, press 'Enter' to complete it.

You'll be given the option to publish your slogan. This is broadcast to the world via the world map. Press 'On' when you're ready to start advertising.

You'll get notified that your advertisement has been published after you turn it on. You can view it by opening up your world map and turning on the switch to see Vending Machines.

While you can set up multiple Vending Machines on your territory, you can only publish one advertisement at a time. Make sure to put up a slogan that captures everything you're selling.

When thinking of what to sell using your Vending Machine, you should consider your location, what you need, and what you have. Different types of meta-humans will be passing by your territory depending on where you've set it up.

Earlier areas, such as Meyer's Market, will have meta-humans who have just started and may not have access to certain crafted goods.

Higher-leveled areas may have veteran meta-humans who have acquired a lot of new items from areas that are difficult to explore.

If you're determined to make your Vending Machine a profitable business, have your territory situated beside a teleporter or a safe zone.

Teleporters will allow meta-humans to visit your territory easily if they take an interest in the advertisement you put up on the world map.

Safe zones are frequently visited, and meta-humans will be coming there to look for items to buy from the merchants. This is a good place to live next to if you're looking for foot traffic and spending intent.

If you're crafting a lot, you may find that you're running out of a certain type of material.

Parts that are obtained from scraps are especially difficult to farm because you can only get those from exploring. You can set up a Vending Machine that sells items in exchange for those parts to save yourself time and effort.

If you're trying to unlock a lot of Memetics, you can start running low on Energy Links quickly. You can sell resources that are easy to find in bulk, or you can craft items that you can price higher for their scarcity.

A lot of meta-humans will be requiring Hide, Gravel, and various ores as they craft new tools and machines. You should consider selling these in bulk if you have a lot of these lying around.

Food items and water are especially great items to sell because of how taxing it is to make them and how quickly they can spoil.

For those who would rather go out exploring without preparing their own lunch, a Vending Machine stocked with food is a lifesaver.

An especially hot type of item to sell for all types of meta-humans is an item that grants buffs. If you have a Deviant that allows you to craft a unique item, such as Utter Delight or Spring Legs, you can produce and sell these.

Rarity and difficulty to produce will allow you to sell it for a higher amount of Energy Links compared to easily obtainable resources.
