The Value-Rep nanite-driven replicator allows users to purchase useful items. The motivated hacker may find it useful to hack replicators, allowing for purchase of cheaper or more useful items.
Nanites may be spent at Value-Rep matter replication terminals on items ranging from snack foods to weapons. After the replicator is activated, it indicates a description and a price (in nanites) for each item available. Select the item you wish to have replicated, then pick up the replicated item from the hopper below. Hacking the replicators may allow production of restricted, cheaper, or better-quality items than are normally available at a given replicator.
