Automated Trading Station

Automated Trading Stations sell a randomized selection of components over comms display and items in a general store, accessed with the teleporter. They are often found alongside a Repair Depot and Fluffy Biscuit Store.

Selection
The randomization process works by having an item list of 0-20 and a component list of 0-25 numbers assigned, with a bias, to a commodity. For example, the category food items have an x5 bias giving them 5 numbers in the item list numbers and a 25% spawn rate.

The component shop asks for 40 items, and the item shop 25, with the auctioneer data fragment special deals, the shops request eight more communities. The special deals update every five jumps. The game generates a random value of 5000000 mod 25 to select the number. When a category is selected, each particular item has a percentage value to be chosen, often the same amount, but some are again biased.

For example:


 * Numbers 0, 1, and 2 spawn a reactor in the component list
 * Numbers 9, 10, and 11 spawn an ammo clip in the item list
 * The list may never call for the numbers 0, 1, or 2, so there's a tiny chance a reactor won't spawn.

After selecting a 1, there are seven reactors possible, so the Advanced Fusion Reactor has a 1/7 chance to be chosen.

Levels
Every 3 levels in chaos will increase unvisited shop's items by one level.
