I'm going nuts over these last few collectibles. They are just NOT showing up.... I've been playing this game for weeks. I thought once I got all the different techs they'd show up, but not the case.

i'm not sure if it's exactly true or not, but i've noticed that the more you pick the collectibles and mushrooms up the more they appear (even duplicates). you just have to be patient and watch for them. there is a thread on here somewhere (not really sure where) that shows a pic of all of them and that way you'll know what you're looking for

I've been picking up everything that pops up, whether I have it or not. *nods*

I have four games running at home. The first game I completed the collectibles pretty soon after all the puzzles and tech upgrades. In the fourth game, I completed them all before finishing the gong. In the second and third games there were still many missing at the game completion. But I got the last collectible in the second game just the other day. The third still has three left, two uncommon beetles, and the rare gold nugget (and got the last butterfly yesterday.) I'm sure that they'll show up eventually. Just be patient!

I can relate to Amanda1681's frustrations. My first game was lost due to a computer crash and I lost the whole thing. I was 3 collectibles away. So I have a replacement tribe and I am one beetle away. I have played the tribe intently for several weeks and I still cannot find it. I even posted something about it some weeks ago and I still haven't found it. You'd think it would be easy as beetles like a certain ambiance.

I've called for them. I have thrown kids in after them since kids like bugs and bugs like kids. NOTHING.... I share your pain Amanda1681

Well, I'm glad I'm not alone, but it also sucks for all of us.. I still need 2 butterflies, 1 shell, 1 beetle, and 1 pebble. If only there were a way to trick them into showing up.

If you're not pausing your game, you may miss them when they show up.
