Fun for traders

Rob Nelson requested to merge pull/12395/trader into Bleeding-Edge

Created by: Zth--

In #12348 @kilozombie stated a strong point about traders and its flaws. I see it as a job that gets boring pretty fast. And this PR tries to address this problem. I think this vending machine will make the job a lot more funny. Lots of differents items that can create lots of different funny rounds. It kinda relies on a bit of roleplay but yeah, it's good.

As stated in #12348

Trader balance idea new vending machine on the outpost has randomized contents each shift each trader starts with a special coin, allowing them to get one item from the vending machine the vending machine items would be things the crew would want, not always things that traders would want themselves*

So here it is, I think it's a really good idea. It works, and it's been tested.

So far there are:

  • Box of marauder circuits (one is missing, because vox are jews)
  • Box of natural blue space crystals, with an extra blue tomato
  • Bag of Holding
  • 5 bluespace beakers
  • Advanced magboots
  • Infinite power cell
  • Borer egg
  • A bottle with peridaxon
  • A bottle with nanites
  • A bottle with rezadone
  • A bottle with a random disease

Items on this list are subject of change. Post ideas of nice items if you have any. I'll be uploading the list.

🆑

  • rscadd: New vending machine for traders. It spawns with a few random (but nice) items including stuff like marauder circuits, borer eggs, bottle with peridaxon. This doesn't add it to the map yet.
  • rscadd: This machine can only be operated with special trader coins.
  • rscadd: Every trader spawns with a single trader coin.
  • rscadd: Since these are big changes, expect getting jobbanned or even permabanned if misused.
