This guide is made in english and in french, sorry if I make some english mistakes :P
I've made this guide to go with my Youtube Video, it's the first week since the Vending Machine spawned in our world.

In front it looks just like that, you don't have to care about the code lock it's just for the visual in this side. You will just have, as a customer, to press E on it and it will open a panel that we will see later.








So this is what it looks like in the back. Something that you have to know is that you can (and you really should) place a codelock on this little trap. Like that, only you and your mates (and the code lock hackers from matrix) will be able to open it and acces to the different panels that we will see later.




So this is where you buy your noodles, nothing really hard to understand here, you can see on the left the object that the seller is selling, and the price in the right. If you have enough ressources and there's enough of what he is selling inside if the machine, then you can buy mutiple items buy pressing the little ' + ' on the bottom right.


So this is the selling menu, once again, nothing really really hard, you can send thousands of hemp seeds just by clicking some little things. On the left, you write the item you wan't to sell (carefull, I personally had an issue here, if I push Q, my left key, like in HQM, the menu just closes and my character walks left...), anyway you can just write every item you wan't, set the quantity, and what you wan't to sell it for, and once again, the quantity.



This is where you must be carefull too, if you don't fill the vending machine with what you're selling frequently enough, it will be useless. In fact, if a customer comes and ask to buy a c4 but you didn't put c4 inside of the machine, he will just go to another machine and you will have to say good buy to the golden pieces he would have give you.

So, I tested pretty much everything I could and made a video about it, you will find it in the end (it's in french with english subtitles). But will give you some of the results here:

You will only need one C4 to blow up the vending machine



You will need Five Satchel Charges to blow up the vending machine



You will need three rockets to blow up the vending machine



With a M249 I shot 175 explosives ammo to destroy it



The F1 Grenade deals only 1 damage point to the machine, but...



As strange as it is, the beancan deals 12 damage points to the machine :O



With the pick axe, you will have to hit 2 times to deal 1 damage points, so you have to stay clicked 1min30s to deal 29 damage point and to use +18 pick axes to beak the machine



With the Salvage IcePick, you will have to hit 5 times to deal 3 damage points, so you have to stay clicked 1min10 to deal 34 damage points and to use +15 Ice Picks to beak the machine

When you buy something, you can click on the little + to buy more. It will block when of the customer/seller have not anymore what is needed for the trade. Here's the trick, if you take let's say enough ressources to buy 15 c4 in a vending machine, but it blocks to only one when you click +, so you know there's only one inside of it.

But if you can click again and again, maybe until 15 because you can't afford more, what ever, you know now there's way more than one c4 inside of this machine. So the only thing to do now is to blow it up!

I think it's bad because people in rust are c*nts do not really think in the good way, and many people will just wait until the vending machine is full to beak it, so there's no point in filling it if you're the seller.
So remember this, NEVER fill your vending machine with more that one c4 or anything that could be worth for another to beak it!

This is the video I've made today about all this, it's in french but there is english subtitles ! Enjoy !



And here's the best way I found to protect it !
