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!
