Relocate Gumball machine

[AmoryBlaine]

Currently, the gumball machines are doubled up in some pretty weird locations. Two in medical, taking up where seats used to me. Two in the library right next to bookshelves. And Two in the bar on each side of the bar entrance piano.

None of these locations integrate the gum properly, and instead force them into your face, while taking up odd locations that you really won't expect to see a gumball machine, let alone two. Here's some better places that will seem more natural.

Place one at the merchant dock.

Place one near the *arcade cabinets* in the bar.

Place one in engineering and medical's breakrooms.

Place one in Security's lobby below the lobby seating.

Place one in the surface lounge area across from the vacant office.

changed suggestion for bar location

[Doxxmedearly]

Seems like solid choices for new locations to me. I haven't logged in since they were implemented but two to a single area seems a bit ridiculous. 

edit: science breakroom has a lot of space, too. Really most breakrooms would be good.

I'll handle this, as I've got some map bugfixes I'm working on atm and I can slide this in

That library location is extremely painful to look at. Ye gods.

Whats wrong with the bar placement?

They take up each side of the entrances. This is the first thing you see when you walk in. If you want it close to the front, you put one near the arcade cabinets. Not as decor for the entrance.

The fact that there's two right near each other seems excessive, too. It... honestly feels like they were placed in a way that says "Hi look at me use me I'm here now" instead of a sensible location for a vendor.

Taking up medical lobby seats is just a poor idea, and encourages unhealthy eating habits for patients. At best it should've taken the location of the plant below the glass but above the door.

The one near the ringer, for clarification.

I said this in discord but I'll say it here.

Either make them walkable or place them out of my fuckin' way or else I'm going to break them or move them ICly every round until it's fixed. I don't want some new objects placed directly in my walking path.

Do not remove standing room in the medbay lobby. Period. It's already congested enough every time antag shit happens.

Gum is a great RP enhancement but if it's in my way, I'm going to hate it.

There's two because one's a sucker machine and the other is a gumball machine

It's still bad placement for them, however you go lol

[Doxxmedearly]

Oh! That's my bad then.

Still, they should be spread out more, even if there's two different types.

[wowzewow]

Lmao just put gum and suckers in snack machines like sane people

[AmoryBlaine]

Bump.

[Alberyk]

They were removed, so moving this to the bin.
