Attached is 7zip of a Fibonacci point script. This is only a first draft.

First DRAFT by Brian McMillin November 19 - 24, 2011
FibonacciSeed1 script for MoI program.
This version is for planar point layout.
"Cylindrical" pineapple layout, as well as "conical" pinecone layout, are possible with different programming.

Nature often uses the most irrational number, phi, or Phi, in plants, and elsewhere.

For one excellent explaination of the Fibonacci Numbers and Golden section in nature, see:

This script may aid in producing shower heads, pineapples, flowers, pinecones, sunflowers...
Modified from Michaels ToroidalHelix script, MoI program, with point help from Fern script.
Also used parts of the LineWeb script, but the point scripting was pretty hard for me to grasp.
So this FibonacciSeed1 script may be poorly written, or buggy, but is seems to work ok.
Note: placing the factories[i].update() up one line, into the for loop, makes for slow and continual redraw of points, when zoom out;

Establish a geometric shape for a seed, and place at the points? There must be a copy to points script somewhere?

(As usual, copy script to MoI command folder, and create shortcut key under options.)
