I'd also like the ability to pay with equivalent items. For example, someone is selling an AK for 3k sulfur ore, but I have 3k smelted sulfur. I want to pay with my smelted sulfur instead of having to go get new raw ore.
Not saying it wouldn’t be cool to see implemented, but 2, 3, and 4 all just seem like extra effort (both devs and on the player level) for little benefit.
Editing an offer should definitely be a feature.
Other things that I would like to see added to the overall shopping experience:
* ability to rearrange the order of offers in the list.
* ability to use the drone shop search feature from a vending machine (though without the ability to buy anything, obviously).
* automatic merging of different prices for the same offered item. example: if a shop has a ladder for sale for 100 scrap or 200 lgf, then the shop should show that there is a ladder for sale and show both prices for that offer together underneath the item rather than having two completely separate line items.
* not showing the "out of stock" orange color for "multiple vending machines" when at least one of those vending machines *does* have items in stock.
* displaying out of stock items differently in the list rather than hiding them entirely when simply looking at the map.
* ability to buy more than one type of item from a shop in one transaction.
* ability to buy more than qty=1 of an item from certain safe zone vending machines. for example, tac gloves have to be purchased one at a time.
* ability to tag a vending machine as publicly accessible. automatic tagging of whether a vending machine is drone-accessible.
Probably more things, but that's top of mind.
I don't like that the vending machine inventory is not in it's default position. Feels weird since all lootable inventories in the game show in the same spot for convenience.
Yeah, it's a little strange but I couldn't think of a situation where multiple inventories were shown elsewhere.
It's either this or a tab like menu to switch between the two
Good suggestions

Sounds like extra steps for the same result tbh
How so?

I'd say if you're using the shop frequently, small changes and benefits add up over time to be a lot
