Mini-Dispenser publicity blurb

The Mini-Dispenser is an experimental Engineer building that was being play-tested by Valve. It appears to be, as name may suggest, a miniature Dispenser analogous in purpose and inspired appearance to the Mini-Sentry. The existence of this building was first discovered in the form of VTF filename strings found in the texture_preload_list.txt file that had been added to the game as part of the October 28, 2015 Patch;

The Mini-Dispenser would have 100 Health[1], heal at 10 Health per second[1], give 20% of the max ammo every half second.[1]. The Mini-Dispenser could be repaired[2] and would not spawn with the 25 metal that a regular Dispenser spawns with[3]. The Dispenser's cut explosion-on-destruction feature was repurposed for this, complete with a scaling blast radius (150 Hammer units at base, up to 200 Hu) and damage (50 at base, up to 300) based on the metal stored.[4].

The Mini-Dispenser was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
