Vending Machine Co. Demo v0.6.6 - Hot Items & Sell Chance

Vending Machine Co – Update 0.6.6

Hey Vending Tycoons! 🥤 We’re back with another update, and this one focuses on making your vending empire smoother, smarter, and way more strategic. Let’s dive into the highlights:

[h2]🛠️ Major Bug Fixes[/h2]
  • No More Vanishing Stock
    Some of you reported that buying a lot of items at once sometimes caused them to mysteriously disappear. We tracked down the issue and squashed it. Now, when you bulk buy, every item you’ve paid for will properly land in your hands, ready to stock up your machines.


[h2]🔥 New Feature: Hot Items Button[/h2]
  • Ever wondered what’s selling like crazy in each part of the city?
  • We’ve added a brand-new Hot Items button right on the map. Click it, and you’ll instantly see which products are trending in which neighborhoods.
  • This should help you make better stocking decisions, whether you’re placing soda near the salarymen, toys near families, or energy drinks in areas buzzing with night owls.


Smart vending is all about knowing your crowd. With this tool, you’ll never be left guessing.

[h2]📊 New Feature: Sell Chance Tooltips[/h2]
  • Pricing strategy just got a major boost.
  • Now, every item you place in a vending machine shows a Sell Chance value in its tooltip. This number tells you how likely it is that customers will buy at the current price.


Here’s how to use it:
  • If the sell chance is too low → customers aren’t biting. Maybe drop the price to move that merchandise.
  • If the sell chance is too high → your stock is basically flying off the shelves. Maybe you’re leaving money on the table. Raise the price and maximize your profits.


This small addition gives you much more control over your strategy. It’s a real supply & demand simulator now, and you’re the mastermind running it.

[h2]💡 Wrapping Up[/h2]
This update may look small on paper, but it’s a big step toward making Vending Machine Co a deeper and more rewarding experience. Between bug stability, smarter stocking tools, and dynamic pricing guidance, your vending empire just got a lot more powerful.

As always, thank you for your amazing support and feedback. Keep sharing your vending stories, strategies, and memes with us. They help shape every patch we release.

Go forth, stock smart, and may your machines never run empty! 🚀
