How To Get The Sham Secret Recipe

I remember back in the day that the only way to get this was to go to the Shamway Factory in the Wasteland and loot it from the safe. I keep thinking that this got either changed or added to, as it can also be received as a quest reward. Can anyone tell me what tier this quest reward comes from? I'm on a mutliplayer map that does not have a Shamway Factory.
 
At a glance, every quest tier. It's a part of the "groupQuestSchematics", which has a "veryLow" chance at spawning one in. That group is listed in every quest tier and type; so if you don't see it often, it's just obnoxiously rare.
 
Ah, okay. Thanks very much for your help. It's nice to see that the recipe is part of the regular loot table, but just as rare as having a Shamway Factory spawn on a random gen map.
 
At some point, I encountered a multi-store chain, T0, located in the city distract where the middle Shamway store had the secret lab safe. I don't remember the name nor what the other POI's are called, though.
 
The safe used to show up in the T5 Pop 'N' Pills factory as well, but it's not there any more either. I usually get it as a random quest reward nowadays.
 
It's really not that rare. I see it every playthrough (sometimes multiple occasions) as a quest reward option, typically T4-T5 quests. I've also never once found it at Shamway.

EDIT: Also, IIRC, Rekt will be the one who usually offers it to me. He is the food/farming guy, so maybe his rewards have been buffed to offer that specific item? Hard to say, but that's been my experience.

Very good to know. If we have one of those on our map, I'll have to check and see.

That's a possibility when it comes to Rekt.

It didn't seem to be rare up until the update before this latest one for me, as it would always come up as a quest reward somewhere in the T2/T3 category. Now this makes me wonder if quest rewards are altered if it's someone else's quest (I play on a multiplayer server) versus being my own quest.

Its appearance has always been rare for me. I do recall that occasionally it was a Trader reward choice. I also dimly recall it was often a reward choice for completing one of the Challenge quest lines.

Was this really a thing? I mean, in terms of making POIs there are times when I'd like to put something into a block's inventory, but I didn't think that was a feature. Have I been in the dark for years now?

I mean I guess I always could make a custom block with a custom loot list, but I guess I was thinking of something more convenient.

That's exactly what it is:

XML: 
<block name="cntWallSafeShamway">
    <property name="Extends" value="cntWallSafe"/>
    <property name="CustomIcon" value="cntWallSafe"/>
    <property name="LootList" value="shamwaySafe"/>
    <property name="DowngradeBlock" value="cntWallSafeShamwayInsecure"/>
    <property name="SortOrder2" value="0701"/>
    <property name="Tags" value="safes,timecharge,lockedSafe,perkBookworm"/>
</block>

Yes, it was really a thing. Before 1.0 it was the only way to get the recipe. Me, and the others who played on the server would do a suicide mission to the wasteland and break into the loot room to get the recipe for our cook, then return later once we had the quest for the POI to get it for whoever else wanted it.

I was wondering this too. The last time I got it, I thought it was from one of the challenge rewards. So that's something else to check too.
