Be patient... in my advanced games I paused them and moved several kids into each of the "special" areas... for the beetles and the pebbles. Kept going 8-3-8-3-8-3-8 over and over got one of the rate pebbles that way.

I'm stll waiting for the pink pebble, it has appeared twice on my other game where I don't need it

Just a warning that people should be careful what they wish for! I have four games runnning on my home computer. One was my first, and like the first child got lots of attention and I completed all of the collections. The next two were clones of a trib that had an early disaster. I tried two different stratgies to help them survive, and they both flourished! But the collectibles were slow to find. The fourt was started with the collectibles as a priority, so all those collections were finished before the gong was!

It was the third village that had the last missing beetles and pebble that I talked about earlier. But now that they are all done, I find that I'm not visiting the tribes quite as often. It's nice that it's complete, but it isn't the same.

I may start the fifth village, but I'll be away for the long weekend.

congratulations!!!!!!!!!

Ty eyeshigh! I'm so happy!

I have just found the last collectable on my 4th village..WITHOUT buying Level 3 Exploration... yes it can be done, I dont even have L3 farming or science as its a fairly new village, Population 18, but because of the low population I have had to collect everything to gain tech points and without fish and coconuts I have pounced on every mushroom , eyes peeled it can be done.

Still ain't got the last pebble and beetle this is really taking the "MICHAEL". Lol wish there was a way just to get the beetles and pebble no straight away bin searching for ages!

I find as the population grows , its harder to find them , plus,if dont need tech points you are just looking for that one.. then It may seem longer wait... I found them all without Exploration 3 and I can post proof.......
here is my hut with all 4 collectables, Mua was one of the 7 originals she is a a runner now age 59, note the tech points and the population






so Arthur What is level 3 Exploration for??? please answer??

With L3 Exploration you can spot collectibles when you are looking at the overall map. Not worth bothering with, IMNSHO, so it's always the last technology level I get.
