It amazes me that they could spell Jalapeño pepper using the eñe correctly, but they spell piñon phonetically? 174.28.83.168 20:33, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
What does the source plant look like?[]
I assume these come from a plant like most of the other new food items, but I can't seem to figure out what the plant looks like. Does anyone have a pic or description?--174.21.132.229 04:07, November 21, 2010 (UTC)
- Piñon come from trees. Piñon trees, to be precise. The nuts are actually in the pinecones produced by the stumpy little coniferous trees and what you see in-game is a pile of shelled nuts (pre-shelling, the nuts are a dark brown/grey color). 97.123.70.232 23:40, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, I already understand where piñon come from IRL, thank you though. What I wanted to know is if there is a plant from which you can collect them in the game. The Piñon trees in the game do not seem to yield them.--174.21.152.134 04:46, November 28, 2010 (UTC)
- Why would they come from something other than a piñon tree? Were you expecting wild piñonberry bushes perhaps? 97.123.70.232 16:09, November 28, 2010 (UTC)
Where are they?[]
Is it just me or is this item far to rare to be of any use? It's almost impossible to craft Desert salads and Trail mixs - which is ashame as these items are very useful on Hardcore mode. I've only found a handful of them at Old Mormon Fort. Perhaps someone on PC could check in G.E.C.K. if there is actually a "plant" to pick these from? I'm starting to think there isn't an Obsidian somehow forgot to distribute enough of them in picked form through the game world. Perhaps it's a tiny root-like "plant" such as the Xander Root but even harder to spot?

- I don't believe that there is a plant for pinyon nuts, but several merchants do stock them. Chet in Goodsprings and the Westside Co-Op would be good places to check. (Although fresh pears for trail mix are even harder to find! D:) Nitty Tok. 14:11, November 23, 2010 (UTC)
- Since there isn't a single piñon tree in the game anywhere, you'd be correct. 97.123.70.232 23:40, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
- They're often found on counter-tops, and can be easily overlooked. I think that contributes to the perception that they're rare.
