; Serendipity Soda
: ''“Where RNG means Really Nice Gifts.”''

== Overview ==
The '''Serendipity Soda''' machine dispenses Catastropop’s Clover Citrus, boosting the player’s '''Luck stat''' by +1 per purchase. Unlike health vending machines, Serendipity Soda has a hard cap of ten uses.

== Mechanics ==
* '''Interact range:''' 16 units (proximity check).  
* '''Prompt:''' ''Press [E] to get lucky for {cost}''.  
* '''Interaction time:''' Instant.  
* '''Effect:''' Increases the player’s '''Luck''' by +1 per purchase.  
* '''Limit:''' After 10 uses, the machine is disabled and shows ''Out of order''.  
* '''Audio:''' Plays '''sndBuy''' and '''sndPowerDrink'''.  

=== Cost ===
* '''Base formula:'''  
  `<code>cost = 500 * (luck * (uses + 1))</code>`  
* '''Rounding:'''  
  `<code>cost = round(cost / 50) * 50</code>` → always a multiple of 50.  
* '''Scaling:'''  
  Cost increases with both the player’s '''current Luck''' and the number of times the machine has been used.

== Strategy ==
* Early purchases are relatively cheap; later uses scale into thousands of points.  
* Best bought before rolling the '''Mystery Box''', since higher Luck reduces the risk of the box relocating and increases chance of upgrades.  
* Complements the '''Spare Ribs''' machine — survivability + reliability combined.  
* Hitting max Luck (+10) is a badge of honour in long runs.

== Trivia ==
* Internally nicknamed the “Gacha Machine.”   
* “Clover Citrus” was a joke flavour added after a late-night dev session and stuck.
