So I haven't played VV in a while and had deleted all my games. I decided to take on a new approach to try to get all the collectables. I only got the tech for food(duh!) and exploration. I did that and still can't get all my collectables!!! Why are they eluding me? When I finished VV2 after it first came out, I had 1 pebble left! What do I do? I have it on pretty much all the time and go days without seeing a new collectable! When I got the 3rd tech level of exploration it seemed to do less than it's supposed to. I am totally obsessed with getting all my collectables that my kids are starting to complain "mom I want to go on the computer!!!" This happened to me with PT also. Never did find that last rare bug!

I know this'll be terrible news, but you'll just have to wait it out. Not many of us here (as far as I know) have finished our collections so basically, just leave it open all the time and whenever you or your kids pass by the computer, quickly click on any collectible you can see.

Good luck!

Be very patient, I have two tribes that I have had for a long time (for a year), and I still don't have all of the collectibles. they are randomly generated, so it is chance that you will get the collectible that you need.

same here, on my vv3 tribe i cannot get my last uncommon coral piece. it gets me so flustered

The last collectable is always so frustrating. I've missed the last pebble twice.
