Mail Order Catalogs

A semi-honest mail order system that uses computers instead of phones for a QoL UI. The www did exist in July of 1993. It was not like it is now.

• Guess URLs to discover websites (text-only).
  
• Find catalogs in the world to unlock sites in your quick access list (with images).
  
• Images represent your character matching catalog item IDs with in-game items.

Default Card PIN: 11 (changeable at any computer via knoxbank[.]com).

You need the catalog in your inventory if you want to use the quick access panel and see images. The catalog is treated as an entertainment source, so you can read it, but when you do it gets destroyed. Be sure to keep a spare if you want to read them.

• Semi-Functional Computers
  
• Functional ATMs
  
• Functional Credit Cards
  
• Hacking "Minigame"
  
• Delivery Locations in Post Offices
  
• New Item: Catalogs
  
• New Trait

A new "minigame" at ATMs when you have stolen credit cards. You can guess the PIN (2 digits) and attempt to steal money from the accounts. Be careful though, you only have 3 attempts before the card is revoked.

• Without Hacking Skill you must guess the exact PIN.
  
• With Hacking Skill you gain hacking XP and higher levels give you a wider margin for successful guesses.

Delivery Points respawn if picked up. Fallback safety rule due to how delivery is currently handled. Only triggers when delivered to a delivery point that isn't loaded. You can technically duplicate the storage containers.
Delivery is instant, meaning in multiplayer another player could steal what you purchase.

• Furniture websites.
  
• FluidContainer support.
  
• Clothing variants.
  
• Delayed delivery.

Hopefully there are no issues, but I'm sure there are some. I purposefully touched as little base game code as possible and prefixed everything in an attempt not to clash.

• Adds a new Context Menu option for Computers and ATMs -> shouldn't cause issues.
  
• Adds power to Computers & ATMs -> most likely culprit for compatibility issues.
  
• Attaches data to Base.CreditCard -> may clash with other mods that do the same.

Check out the Compatibility discussion for more information.

Multiplayer appears to be fully functional! Enjoy!
