Vendor Placement

After a vendor is created, it is placed into the player's inventory as an object. In this state a vendor itself cannot be sold on the bazaar, to other vendors nor be traded to other players. Vendors may only be kept in the player's top level inventory, and Cannot Be Transferred to containers like the bank or kept in backpacks (even if equipped), chests etc. To place the vendor into a building, the player must click on the vendor object radial menu and select the Drop radial option. This will drop the vendor at the player's current location if the player has administrative rights to the building and if the player has sufficient Vendors skill modifiers to be able to place the vendor.

When a vendor is dropped it always auto-faces due north direction according to the planet maps compass. Players have the option of rotating the vendor by opening up the Rotate radial menu and choosing from one of the 2 options available: Rotate Left, Rotate Right. Each choice will rotate the vendor in 90 degree increments positively or negative. Left rotation moves the vendor counter clockwise from its current position by -90 degrees. Right rotation moves the vendor in a clockwise direction by +90 degrees. Optionally, players may use the /rotatefurniture command to send coordinates manually.

Players are allowed to rotate the vendor so long as the vendor has not been initialized. Once initialized, the vendor cannot be moved around.

Vendor Initialization

Once the vendor has been dropped, the player can initialize the vendor by checking the Initialize Vendor radial option on the Vendor Control radial menu. Initialization is the final intermediate step before allowing a player to begin managing items with their vendor. Until a vendor has been initialized, a player cannot add items to it.
