Vending Machines

Have various vending machines, coffee machines, water coolers/fountains and orange juice tables around your prison to settle the Luxuries/Food needs for prisoners and Comfort/Food needs for Staff members. The Shop becomes redundant when using this mod with PA Update 13 or above, so you can build 1 security level prisons without needing a shop to settle Luxuries.

Place one or more Storage Racks in a Cold Storage Room (between Kitchen and Deliveries or Garden) to store all the vending items. The Cold Storage Room is also used to store staff meals and kitchen ingredients.

Next, place some vending machines around the prison. They can be used in Canteen, CommonRoom, Nursery, Yard, Storage, Armoury, StaffCanteen, StaffRoom, Security, Office and Kennel.

• 5 different Vending Machines, selling Snacks, Fruit, Sandwiches, Orange Juice, Coffee and Water. The various vending products will cost you $2 each, and the Vending Machines sell them for $3,30 so they generate $1,30 profit per sold item.
• Orange Juicer, needs 12 oranges to operate, produces Orange Juice for Juice Tables.
• Water Cooler, gets a big Water Bottle and paper cups to provide water
• Water Fountain, a little object providing fresh (sewer) water. This one settles Food and rises Bladder needs.
• Storage Rack, for buffering the various vending items, staff meals and ingredients in a Cold Storage Room.
• Small Bench and Small Table, for Canteen, Nursery, Staffroom or Yard
• Orange Tree, growing fresh Oranges for your Orange Juicer. These trees produce 10 oranges on average per day. Placing 2 Orange Trees per Juice Table should be enough. If the trees produce more oranges than you can handle, they get stored in the Cold Storage Room or go to Exports. Do you have the Recycling mod? Then you can place the Orange Trees in your Garden so prisoners can tend them. Otherwise Gardeners and Workmen will do the jobs.

• Air Conditioner, will spawn 3 windows beneath it when turned on, to let air come in from outside or to level the temperature with an adjacent room. Requires to be wired with a DoorTimer spawned beneath the AC. You can find the Air Conditioner in the Utility menu.

• Cold Storage Room, requires Storage Rack and Air-Conditioner.
• Canteen, CommonRoom, Nursery, StaffRoom and Yard no longer have minimum size restrictions, and various items have been added as Likely Object.

• Settles the Luxuries / Food needs for Prisoners
• Settles the Comfort / Food needs for Staff
• While the primary need is settled, the secondary need will also get lower. But prisoners without Luxury need will NOT use the machines for settling only Food, and staff members without Comfort need will NOT settle only Food.
• Juice Tables settle Luxuries / Alcohol... which cook put vodka into the juice?
• Water Fountains settle Food and raise Bladder needs.

• This mod can settle needs for Prisoners, Guards, Workman, Cooks, Gardeners, Janitors, DogHandlers, Doctors, ArmedGuards, Snipers, PlantationWorkers, GardenWorkers, GreenhouseWorkers, ForestryWorkers, Barbers, GraveDiggers, CarMechanics, CraneOperators, SmartPhoneGenius, Tailors, YogaMasters, and PrisonFiremen

• All items require Vending Machines research, done by the Foreman.

This mod is based on the ancient Chad's Drink Mod. It has a couple of recycled ideas and some newly added sprites. Scripts have either been completely rewritten, removed or updated to produce as little lag as possible (the original mod had quite some cpu impact). Running both mods will NOT work as intended. This is certainly not a 1 on 1 copy, but without Chad's inspiration this mod would not have existed. Respect!
