Simple Printer

The Simple Printer is an item that can be purchased by all non-government roles except for deliveriant. It costs $400 in-game.

When you buy a Simple Printer, it will spawn in on the player and drop onto the floor. It can be picked up and carried somewhere else. You can not purchase a printer in a plot. You can, however, pick up a printer and carry it inside. However, you can still purchase printers in unclaimable plots (The Sheriff Station, Truck Depot, Hangars at the airfield, etc.)

It prints out 200$ every minute for 5 minutes, for a total of 1000$ made. It's illegal, so it can be destroyed by all government roles with a baton.

The Simple Printer can give you $1000 dollars. After collecting 1000$ from the printer, it destroys itself.

To purchase a printer you need to press T to go to the team shop, then you can find it after scrolling down. Deliveriants cannot purchase Simple Printers, probably because they get a free Van which can carry up to three simple printers. So they can use the van as a mobile printer farm.

To pick up the printer, first unlock it by pressing F then when it's unlocked press E. After picking one up, press H to drop it back on the floor. Pressing F will unlock the printer, which will allow any players to pickup and take the money from the printer. To collect money from the printer, press U when it is unlocked.

It is best to put printers somewhere remote, or inside a property such as a garage. The printers produce $3000 / 5 min ($600 / min), and the total profit after 5 minutes is 1800$ after factoring in the costs to purchase the printers in the first place.

= Trivia =


 * Making printer farms is a bannable offense. This is when players create a base to print with printers and there is no way for SWAT to enter the base (e.g. blocking the doors with props or walls).
 * Carrying a Simple Printer will give you a wanted level.
 * Collecting money from printers will turn the player into an outlaw.
 * Judging by the name, there might be more types of printers coming to the game.
 * Printers can still be purchased inside of some buildings that are unclaimable plots such as the pickup building at the airport.
 * You do not have to completely exit some buildings to buy printers, such as the red and yellow houses in Arway.
 * The simple printer shows how much money it has printed, however, when you look at it closely (see image above) the $ sign is behind the number-it should be in front.
