Replicator

"Thank You for Choosing Value-Rep!"

- Replicator Value-Rep Nanite-Based Matter Replicators allow purchase of various items using Nanites. These devices offer a wide variety of products, ranging from snacks to ammunition.

When interacted with, the Replicators show the price and the name of each available item. The current balance is shown at the bottom. Choosing the product you wish to buy subtracts a specific amount of Nanites from your account, replicates the object and drops it down the hopper, from which it can be picked up.

Hacking the Replicators lowers their prices by 20%-30% (usually 25%) and in most cases, allows the production of restricted, better-quality items than those normally available at a given machine. A hacked Replicator will replace its low-value items (such as Chips or Soda) with new items, commonly ammunition. The only exception to this is the Replicator in the theater lobby on the Recreation Deck: it sells low-value items only, and the items do not change after it is hacked.

Prices
The price of items in Nanites is mostly consistent across all Replicators. The prices vary depending on the difficulty setting.

Trivia

 * William Diego has a unique, wrist-mounted variant of the Replicator.
 * The extremely high prices of the items sold at the theater lobby Replicator is a reference to the fact that movie theater concessions are notoriously expensive.
