Replication Station

The Replication Station is a food and drink dispenser, used for reducing hunger and thirst for Patients and Staff. It is only available via the A Stitch In Time DLC.

Appearance
The base of the machine is a dark grey metal, a shorter top section is in light grey, and the main body is light grey. The right-hand side consists of a semi-cylindrical section bearing the controls, consisting of three blue strips, a coin slot and an orange button, on a black background. Beneath this is a black dispensation slot. The left-hand side of the machine is a large blue rectangle consisting of pulsating blue columns, in the style of the time warp, in front of which is a spinning hologrammatic question mark in white. Two yellow pipes extend from the left hand side, while on the top can be found three blue lights and a grey aerial with dark grey rings.

Function
The Replication Station functions as a combined Drinks Machine and Snack Machine, dispensing cans of Burp! and Cheesy Gubbins. As such, Patients and Staff may use the Replication Station to reduce their thirst or their hunger by 80% per serving, at a cost of $10 or $20, respectively. Whichever need of these needs the patient chooses to satisfy, it is possible that the other will be also be sated by 100%.

Maintenance
Each drink dispensed by the Replication Station depletes its maintenance gauge by 3%. Dispensing food does not affect the maintenance gauge. A Janitor can be called to maintain the Replication Station manually by the player, or will do so automatically when the maintenance gauge falls below 50%, assuming one is available. This maintenance will restore the gauge completely, at a cost of about $15 per 3% gauge rise.

Staff
A is required to restock the Replication Station.
