## Description

The [Vending Machine](/wiki/vending-machine) is a machine used to dispense items to players. The machine can hold up to 100 individual stacks of items. The machine's easy to use interface lets the user choose an item (displayed in the picture window) and dispense it with the press of a button.

Can be also used to get the items purchased or sold to [Traders](/wiki/traders).

### Usage notes

While the Vending Machine can be used to store and dispense items to players it does NOT stack them, it will store items as they come in in their own slots. That means that one stack of 50 [Coal Ore](/wiki/coal-ore) takes up one slot, while 50 stacks of 1 Coal Ore each takes up 50 slots. Thus it is recommended that you take this into account when designing a system using the Vending Machine.
