How to use the Vending Machine in Once Human
You can sell or exchange items using the Vending Machine by simply going to it and pressing 'F'. This will open up your sell slot tab as well as a list of the available items that you can sell.
You can place it only in your territory, but make sure to place it outdoors, so that other players can see it while passing through. You can even advertise the products that you are selling.
In order to advertise your products, click the gear icon on top of your sales slots. There, you can write a slogan for your products so that other players know what you are selling. Once you are done with your slogan, you can publish it, and it will appear on the world map for everyone to see.
Also keep in mind that when it comes to drinks and food items, sell only bottled drinks and canned food. Do not sell perishable items since they decay over time.
