Recipe Rocks are a collectable in Barnyard: The Video Game.
Purpose
In the PC and all home console versions of the game, the player can collect recipes through recipe rocks.
Origin
After the raccoons stole Pig's recipe book, they tore out all 32 pages and hid them under rocks scattered across the barnyard, as it is explained in a note.
Role
Recipe Rocks serve as a collectable and are required if the player wishes to get 100%. They are signified as black rocks with a white X on them. When a player picks one up, it will show a screen with the number, name, and three ingredients that are required to make it. Recipe Rocks come in two types: Recipes and Mocktails, each with 16 recipes each.
Use
The player can find ingredients all across the barnyard. Most of these foodstuffs are utilized in the recipes. In the daytime, the player has the ability to cook any recipes they have found. Each recipe consists of three ingredients. If the three ingredients are compatible with each other, then the player will make a more complex food item and a sum of Gopher Bucks dependent on the food item. However, if the three items don't amount to anything, then the player will end up with Slops, which is only worth 1 Gopher Buck. The same applies for Mocktails in the Night Barn.
