where are the lemons and potatoes?

Post by Greywulf »

Haven't encountered either of the aforementioned, required for the lemon-potato charge schematic. The closest I've come is Norian's (?) Potato (some kind of liquor - gin? whiskey?).

Anyone know where these things are, if anywhere?

:confused:

You find them outside. Potatoes are in fields and lemons are in trees. But I never found that charge schematic, so I never really paid attention to where the components are.

I searched high and low for those potatos in the fields.

Where in Shrouded hills did you find them?



PS...does the lemon tree grow new lemons or do you only get 2?

Behind (NW) Slim Pickens' shop are two fields - the first one has small green plants, the second (furthest NW) has tall wheat colored plants. In that second field, in the NW corner are 2 lemon trees and 2 potato plants, all together (there are also a couple of faux potato plants that are not click-able).

Mr Potato Head

The beige fuzzy things near the lemon tree.

Ok...now I got 4 potatos and 2 lemons...wtf?

Is that all there is...is there nothing more? Time to make lemon aid.

It's silly really - there is a schematic for making charges (batteries) using lemons and potatoes as opposed to using metal plates and electrolyte solution - but without the schematic, they have no use.

Is this all that there is

My bad...I have the schematics, but are they only usefull for the 2 fruit and 4 potatoes? If not, then why spend $250 for the schematic.

Ashbury

I found some more potatos in Ashbury.

Next to the farmer with the stones.

Walk to the NorthWest part of his house until he is out of view.

The potato bushes are in a line that runs northwest to south east to the north west of his house.

There are a billion bushes around there but I only found 2 or 3 with potatos.

I reiterate...what good are the potato lemon charges if there are only about 10 of them. For the price of the schematic, you can buy the !@#$% charges!

Well, ya see....

The charges can be made with potatos and lemons.... so... that makes it.... worth lots.... .... .... okay okay, so its probably just in there to be funny. I mean, think of a dwarf glaring at an enemy, holding a tesla gun with a potato and a lemon strapped to it. :D

The potato obession

Ok...now I'm obessessed with the potatos...

There are lemon trees in Roseboro as well.

All in all there are about 20 potatos and lemons that I have found so that is as good at 200 charges, which makes the schematic JUST ABOUT WORTH IT. It would just be nicer if the trees regrew the lemons.

When you consider that the healing jacket uses charges and the flow spectrometer uses charges, it feels like just a waste.

Ironically, my Marvel Character of Altair would find this all humorous because his power of molecular conversion would make this all moot.
