Geknip Recipe...

[Grimm Spector]

Supposedly I get it from the farmer, but I've done the whole quest line, no one has given it to me. I can make and harvest NipNip buds...which appears to be use for nothing...??

[Penitence]

He never gave me Geknip recipe, just Nipnip which is the plant that Geknip comes from, I got Geknip recipe later on from an OpCenter

If I am not mistaken it is the blueprints guy in your base that sells you the ability to plant it. At least he sells something related to it in his list.

What they sell to you is the blueprint to be able to farm nipnip buds, which are needed... to sell them for credits, it was a very lucrative product pre 1.3, i don't know if that is still the case.

This is correct.

Ok, so just keep hunting and I'll find a recipe one day. Fair enough, thanks!

I just got the GekNip recipe. My copy came from the manufacturing/operations center route. I guess it is because the recipe calls for 100 platinum and 50 plutonium.....

So the NipNip is literally just another trash item to sell...this games crafting is so ludicrous. So many bad design choices. I want to like it, but they make it very hard.

How is something valuable to sell, "trash"? Care to explain why do you think it's ludicrous?

Nothing in the game functions in a logical or consistent manner with their own lore, descriptions, etc.

And it's trash because the only real thing to do in the game is to grind for more things, building a base, buying and building a freighter, etc. These all involve money and materials, a tiny percentage of the available items in the game. The rest of those items exist only to be sold for money, whether they're producible or not. And almost every item, like this, is producible in a way that defies their own lore, and reasonable logic.

TL:DR it's vendor trash.

Funny that Geknip does not require Nipnip to craft, particularly when Nipnip is described as being harvested to produce Geknip...

agreed, you could play the game without the need to crafy hardly any of it, pointless fluff
