Talk:Fresh potato

Added the sentence about taking (not stealing) a fresh potato or two. Did this very early on in the game (before visiting Megaton) so I would get the Intelligence Bobblehead. Avoided speaking with Doctor Li or anyone else in the lab. A couple of the potatoes were free to take (not steal). Then I went to a different part of the lab and came back and noticed all the rest of the fresh vegetables on the lab table were gone! I think Doctor Li had gathered them up and put them somewhere. Not sure where - yet. --Sp3lly 06:37, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

→ I added this to the other fresh produce pages as well, and think this may answer your query about what happens to the produce:

I'd never noticed these before, however this play-through I was sneaking around searching for items to thieve and noticed all of the fresh produce. Since I am now playing a low-karma character, I decided to haul these off to a corner and steal them (not too far away from the tables; with a sneak of 100 nobody noticed me). However, after I had hauled over all of the Fresh Apples and one Fresh Carrot, Janice Kaplinski walked past while pacing, and actually stopped to start picking them up and eating them. She would stop where the food was, and they would disappear one by one, and the munching sound could be heard (they were not on her when I attempted to pickpocket them back). Frustrated, and intent on "owning" all of the fresh produce for display in my suite, I reloaded my autosave from when I entered the Labs (XBOX 360) and tried again. Every single time she would either walk over and start eating them, or (while I tried hauling them to a different corner) start eating the ones on the table. I finally remedied this by using a one of the stealth boys I'd planned on selling. Stealing the fresh produce right off the tables before she could snarf them all seemed to be the only way to get all of it.

So heads up: if you want to take these (and don't mind the negative karma) then be quick, because Janice Kaplinski eats all of them if you wait too long. - Fembot G.g3 05:21, 25 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Where is the potato in Pinkerton's lab? Don't tell me he eats it, too.

subterranean Hydroponics
I wasn't aware that you could grow tubers with hydroponics, I can imagine that it'd work with the mineral spray technique, but are there actual methods to growing subterranean fruits?

... Fresh
how can af 200 year old potato in the back in a truck be Fresh?
