outpost/bandit camp improvements#28020

so you have vending machines and drones, that’s cool.

  • sometimes we see in modded servers random shopfronts in the outpost. i think this should be implemented in every vanilla server, with a better appearence, both in bandit and outpost.

  • make the drone able to carry more than just one product at a time. this would allow buying several items from the same shop for just one fee, making it more interesting to sell low valued items if there are several in the same machine.

  • add chairs near every recycler, so that you can’t be pushed away from it. also make a time counter of like 10 mins so that you cant just stay there forever, if you want to use it again just wait 30 seconds and sit again (if noone else took it). also, if there’s someone sitting there, noone should be able to open recycler, even if you accidentally close the container.

  • make it so that non party members can’t get on your mini and push it if you are in a safe zone.

  • storage for rent at outpost. first let’s notice: this already exists, as you can kill yourself with some goodies in safe zone and noone can loot you for 1h, you can repeat this as many times you want. it’s just a lame mechanic and not very fun at all. to change that, you could be able to store some items. this wouldn’t include any explosive item, neither metal / sulfur (cooked or uncooked). but at least being able to save some scrap, one kit, that weapon you want to research, some cloth / lowgrade. you have to pay like 50 scrap/hour for this, and if you didn’t leave enough scrap for the time you’ve been away others could pay for what’s inside your loot. ex: you leave 150 scrap, a tommy kit and some tools. you are away for 5 hours. the first three hours your loot is safe, but since you haven’t left enough for 5 hours, people can pay the excess time to claim your loot. so, 2 more hours, others can claim your tommy kit for 100 scrap.

  • there should be one or two vending machines that can be rented by players in outpost. this would allow cheaper exchanges aswell as this new playstile of being a merchant. you would pay like 500 scrap for owning the vending machine for an entire day, but you can make a good use of it and get enough profit of it (exchanges would be instantaneous and no drone fee is required, also everyone will look at your shop, because it would be specially distinguished in the map). maybe the price for renting the vending machine could be doing a quest, or may be the scrap price could depend on map size / player count.
