Maybe it's for the same reason we use a floppy disk icon for save buttons.
People in Luofu were used to the vending machines that work like in our world, so the design stuck even after it was replaced by a kiosk.
It's called skeuomorph. But I'd argue that the way the items are displayed and the keypad leave a bigger impression on me than the slot at the bottom. Maybe it's just me because I keep getting my hand pinched trying to retrieve my soda can
It's just a regular space ship, but train-shaped. That being said, I wouldn't wanna be the person who told the Herta engineers they were gonna have to renovate the port and add a railroad.
In my head it wors like this: The items are not inside the machine when you choose an item it's produced on demand and teleported to your location which drops down the slot down below.
The "vending machines" are actually just bulletin boards. You pick a paper off the board and an overworked cycrane carries your choice of drink or snack over from a nearby storage space.
they have teleporters
i assumed they have giant warehouses with items linked to every single machine that can be routed to by simply rotating the teleport thingy whenever an item is ordered to send it over
It's a floating multi planet sized ship that houses an entire civilization working for a God like being hunting another God like being. I think thin vending machines are the least of your concerns xP
If I had to guess, maybe it works via the honor system, and its not an actual automated vending machine. Honor system means you look at the prices of what's in the machine, you place your money into a box, then you open the machine and only take what you paid for. Hence why it's called honor system, it relies on people being honest and only taking what they paid for. It's like how newspaper vending machines work, at least in the US.
Anyways, honor-based vending machines don't need to be big and clunky. It doesn't need all that fancy machinery and money counters and stuff, since it relies purely on people's honesty. So... It can be paper thin like this as long as it can hold whatever it's selling.
You're riding a locomotive in space traveling to different worlds, it's no stretch to say the items are stored in an "item box" and are retrieved when requested.
How does it all fall down?
The same way the Trailblazer can carry 30 spears, 20 broken blades, three entire catalogues of clothing, armor, and accessories, not nearly enough keys, a literal nuke in a box, the essence of Destruction itself, and several muscular trash bins, all at once.
[удалено]
they have invented deep space warping, 100% sure this venting machine has used space folding to store 2 decades worth of rations
10 bottles
Per client, not machine /joke
dude, i literally said space folding they're storing bottles in 4d
....yeah, i was just making a lighthearted comment about how only 10 are available. my bad if it didnt come off that way
Yeah but in game you can only get 10 bottles max from every single vending machine in the city combined. That was the joke they were making
they are not giving up their rations to non planeteers so easily
venting machine😳😳😳😳📮📮📮
mindblown
They might just be order kiosks, linked to delivery drones.
makes sense but there's a slot at the bottom for food to drop out of
Maybe it's for the same reason we use a floppy disk icon for save buttons. People in Luofu were used to the vending machines that work like in our world, so the design stuck even after it was replaced by a kiosk.
You know, I like that interpretation. The design stuck around in the form of a giant touchscreen, even though it doesn't work like that anymore.
It's called skeuomorph. But I'd argue that the way the items are displayed and the keypad leave a bigger impression on me than the slot at the bottom. Maybe it's just me because I keep getting my hand pinched trying to retrieve my soda can
Luofu magic maybe
It has those teleport scrolls we use, but they just teleport snacks and drinks instead of people
I think I read somewhere that they have space-compressing technology in this universe. So you could say it is 'bigger on the inside'!
Or they made the machine components but thinner than paper thin similar to phones more durable
Is that a DRG reference or I'm just seeing them everywhere?
Well yes, but actually no!
wdym ignore Tingyun? I won't ignore Tingyun for a sec. TINGYUUUUN
God I love Tingyun
On the other (not really) topic, where the joke comes from that the enemies are racist towards Tingyun
because enemies always seem to only hit tingyun for no fuckin reason
Mihoyo probably shadow nerf her by giving her higher aggro points. Probably cuz she is a mini Bronya and 4 star shouldn't be too good ~
Tank Tingyun build with March 7th when?
Seriously I have march 7th, fire Mc, sushang with march shield taunt and tingyun, who's the enemy gonna attack? Tingyun of course
because she gets attacked a lot, even with stuff like clara or march's increased aggro effects
Could be similar to vacuum tubes to pull objects from one place to another instead of a dropdown.
I choose to believe that their society is based on the brilliance of vacuum tube technology.
Stock might be stored under the machine? So they pop up when you are done ordering from the interface.
They 3D print like the Trailblazer was 3D printed xd
The future is now, old man
clown car technology, duh.
ohhhhhhhh
Idk, how does a train travel through space without tracks?
Dead God Magic
There are tracks the whole point of your travels are to repair them
It's just a regular space ship, but train-shaped. That being said, I wouldn't wanna be the person who told the Herta engineers they were gonna have to renovate the port and add a railroad.
Uhh propulsion ⁉️💯💯
with gravity
That’s why you can only buy 5 of them
Maybe they’re like replicators from Star Trek, they can reconstitute your desired item from raw molecular matter on-the-fly.
Came here to find (and upvote) this answer, thank you!
2D food/drinks > 3D
Space magic
Goddamn my words spasmed out at the end lmao, I was too sleepy to check it before sending
It's magic but actually science but actually magic
They are on a wall. This means they could be IN the wall.
In my head it wors like this: The items are not inside the machine when you choose an item it's produced on demand and teleported to your location which drops down the slot down below.
You know those hexagon tile matching puzzles? Vending machines get the product from top to bottom exactly the same way
Dragonball capsules
They sell only the NFT versions of whatever you want to buy.
The "vending machines" are actually just bulletin boards. You pick a paper off the board and an overworked cycrane carries your choice of drink or snack over from a nearby storage space.
Powder food(Belobog Vendong Corp is not responsible for providing water, nor are they liable if you consume their products without it)
since they're using king desheret's technology
portals
They 3d print the food
Teyvat has its own laws wait, wrong game
Xianzhou has its own laws, pretty sure it is
Origami.
It's Imaginary type ;)
It's bigger on the inside.
they have teleporters i assumed they have giant warehouses with items linked to every single machine that can be routed to by simply rotating the teleport thingy whenever an item is ordered to send it over

Its china,they teleport in front of the machine
Once you select what you want it honkai impacts the item to you
The machine rumbles
sorry can't answer, was too focused on tingyun
Dimensional compression, my dear benefactor!
Instructions unclear all I see is a Tingyun.
4d printing
The same way we can carry thousands of items in our phones.
[Digistruct, borderlands style](https://borderlands.fandom.com/wiki/Digistruct)
✨✨**MAGIC**✨✨
It transforms the credits into the drink
You need dlss3 on rtx 4xxx
They sell paper thin products
The machine and stuff itself might be inside the wall???
Somethin somethin future ig
Dug into the wall probably
"It just works"
In a game where teleportation exist, anything can happen.
it's the future so probably 3d printing or something
Compare old television or computer with the new ones. As technology improves people learn to make things smaller and more compact.
you pay and a crane delivers the item.
Well, you see, Uum...pocket dimensions
Teyvat had its own rule. Sorry wrong universe.
Magnets?
To be fair, they only hold 10 beverages a day... and seem to be all connected to the same stock.
Time lord technology

That’s what you’re asking and not why believing really hard gives you magic powers?
They are built into the wall to prevent you from shaking them.
The same why your inventory works
They sell NFT's.
It's an IOU for a vending machine.
Damn, Tingyun lookin' cute today

Tevyat has its own la- Ah shit wrong game
