Kenny, where are you getting 10 from? Game files say 23 for me and it's 23 if I give one to a new character. Are you sure you're looking at the correct item? Even regular Instamash has a value of 20, and this is the preserved version.--Xernoc (talk) 19:48, January 11, 2016 (UTC)

Ow, weird. Yeah when I looked at the Preserved InstaMash in my inventory it said it was worth 10. Maybe that's a bug or something. I always only got 10 for the Preserved InstaMash. I also have one in my stash of items for keeping. And that one says 10. But if the game data says 23, my game is probably bugged visually or the item itself or something.

Oh, I gotcha. I think that's a difference between the 'value' and what you can actually sell it for. Vendors will pay based on some calculation that I don't know offhand, but that's based on your skills/charisma/etc. I've always seen a discrepancy ingame between what the pip-boy says something is worth, and what a vendor will actually pay. Pip-boy doesn't change when I get a new perk, though. --Xernoc (talk) 19:57, January 11, 2016 (UTC)
That's curious. I don't think that anything influences the caps value of an item when viewed in the pip-boy (rads is another issue). I checked the old game data, but it wasn't changed by the update that changed Fallout4.esm early December. We could still have platform discrepancies - I play on PC. --Alfwyn (talk) 20:11, January 11, 2016 (UTC)
Yeah I play on the Xbox One. Anywho, if it shows as 23 in the game data, that'll be the correct number, not the one I see. Kennyannydenny (talk) 09:18, January 12, 2016 (UTC)
