=Budget Cards=

Departments will get a budget card which is what individual pay is taken out of. They can be found in the respective head or warden's locker. The budget cards hold a set amount of money at the start of each shift, but more can be gained when certain conditions are met.

===Cargo Budget===

The cargo budget refers to the cargo department, which is built-up of typically low paying jobs. This budget card starts the shift in the [[Quartermaster]]'s locker. The cargo points are equal to the cargo budget - gain points and the budget card will gain money, spend points and the budget card will lose money.<br>

*[[Megafauna#Hierophant|Hierophant]]: 12500 credits

*[[Megafauna#Legion|Legion]]: total of just under 30000 credits

===Defense Budget===

The defense budget refers to the security department, which is built-up of typically high paying jobs. Money is gained for the defense budget based on how many crew members are alive, and how many monsters are dead. This budget card starts the shift in the [[Armory]]. It is currently limited to 10k.

=Economy Items=

==Vendors==

Since the introduction of economy aboard the station, Nanotrasen have been charging crew for using their provided vendors. With the exception of the permabrig vendors, all on-station vendors require a valid ID card with a linked payment account. All vending machines will cost money to use and the price of each will vary depending on their type and location. Use of department vendors are free to anyone working for that department - for example the engineering vendors are free to engineers, but not to medical doctors. Once payment has been made from a vendor, the money will be transferred directly into the appropriate department budget.

==Paystand==

With the arrival of economy comes the arrival of the paystands. Paystands are ways to pay someone without having to hand them physical money. Paystands start pre-built in the warden's office on every map and the clerk's office on boxstation. To link the paystands with your account you will need to scan your ID (or the department budget ID) onto the paystand and then name the paystand. Any money inserted into the paystand will now be deposited directly into the linked account.

==Bank Machine==

The bank vault is located in the [[Vault]] and stores the cargo budget. Money can be inserted directly into this machine to add funds to the cargo budget. Money can be siphoned out and will appear in holochip form. Be careful though as, after enough credits have been siphoned, an alert will appear over the common radio.

==Security Warrant Console==

Located outside the [[Brig]] in the public hallway is the security warrant console. Security can issue a citation with a fine to a crew member, which they can then use this machine to pay it off with.
