Updated Chinese address on August 4th:

This mod allows you to craft ammo vending machines in settlement workshops. This machine is powered by F4SE, making ammunition purchasing simple and convenient.

Every time you activate the machine, it will check your current weapons and ammo and sell only what you need.

This mod is fully compatible with next gen and old gen.

Updated on October 18th:

World Placement 1.2 Update:

A vending machine has been added to the counter in the lobby of the oil rig in America Rising 2 (AR2). Not required to use this update

AR2, so users who don't have AR2 installed won't have any issues.

Updated on August 21st:

1.3 version update:

Now fully supported for next gen: this mod can detect changes in ammo type for weapon attachments, just like in previous gen.

If the mod does not work after updating, please install the C++ 2022 redistributable package.

Updated on July 15, 2025:

Version 1.2.3 Update:

Fixed an issue where only one ammo type would appear in vending machines when carrying multiple modified copies of the same weapon.

In the next-gen version, the system can now detect changes in attached ammo - but only for the equipped weapon.

Updated on December 25th:

Now, when you install this file, users not using Next-gen will have all functionality applied as before, while Next-gen users will have limited functionality. Next-gen users must remove previously installed compatibility patches.

Updated on December 18th

Optional updates:

Added an optional file for placing vending machines in cities or faction headquarters.

EDIT: The color of the Academy vending machines has been updated from red to silver.

It has been packaged and uploaded together with the main file.

1.1 version update:

Lever now offers ammo filter menu. This filter allows you to sell the ammo you need at 1.5x the quantity, at half the quantity, or to include ammo for weapons you don't currently have.

After the update, existing vending machine levers will no longer work. Be sure to remove the old vending machines and create new ones!

Ammo vending machines only sell ammo for the weapon you are currently carrying. It quickly calculates how much ammo you need and sells you the difference. For example, if you need 600 rounds of ammo but only have 200, it'll sell you the remaining 400, letting you buy ammo quickly and seamlessly - and this includes special ammo added by mods. If the ammo type changes due to weapon modifications, the machine will detect it and sell the correct ammo accordingly.

To the right of the vending machine you will see a lever. Standing next to the machine and pointing your cursor at the lever will bring up a different menu. Selecting this menu allows you to adjust ammo sales settings.

Selecting the filter settings from the control stick will open this message window. Here, select the desired filter criteria and the container menu will open. By placing ammo in a container, the ammo will be sold for 1.5 times the quantity, for half the quantity, or always, even if the weapon it is used on does not exist.

You can craft ammo vending machines in the Stronghold Workshop mode menu under the STORES > WEAPONS tab.

Although it is an ESP file, it has the ESL flag set so it behaves like an ESL file, which means you don't have to worry about exceeding the index limit when adding mods.

If you encounter any questions or issues please leave a comment. If the feedback is reasonable, I will update or improve it as soon as possible.

Required Mods: This mod is not compatible with next-gen versions of the game.
