How it works
A Vending Machine worth 1,200 credits in Wild's Network on Mark Up (1,800 on Thin Margins, 2,400 on Red Ink) stands outside from day 1 with 50 power. It sells after hours, but you must stock and power it.
Rating
Two points provide after-hours sales equipment with 50 starting power. It needs suitable finished stock and more power later; the normal network purchase is 1200 on Mark Up, not a guaranteed saving of 1200 cash.
On Thin MarginsBuying Vending Machine normally costs 1800 before discounts. That strengthens the access value only if the machine will actually be stocked and powered.
On Red InkThe same purchase normally costs 2400 before discounts. A high replacement price does not make an unstocked machine productive.
