it's NOT guaranteed that pumpkins drop. you get 3 drop options 0/X/XX, yes it would be nice to get the XX drop every time but chance are you will get nothing in some cases. just keep doing them and your chances will get better

Yes, and remember that first slot which has the big fat 0? That slot is supposed to be about 60%; so in any given ls, only 40% have goodies (pumpkins in this case).
My last few have been better than I was doing initially after the maintenance. Been getting 4-5 pumpkin collectibles per spawn. I have a lot of open spaces if it matters, although I don't think I get a lot of collectibles (my current spawn is 16). These pumpkins are quite hard to spot. If I'm missing any, Combo Finder isn't spotting them either.
verified - it only shows 1 for me also even when there are 3 collectibles in the batch.
I'm getting 6-7 on almost every spawn out of 21... so it's not the pumpkin rate, it's the base rate of collectibles that's the issue. I don't see anyone with 20+ collectibles a spawn really complaining, so I guess this is just an extension of an issue that already exists but no one cared about since normal collectibles are meh at best.
What's Combo Finder? Is that some kind of script/app?
Update:
Never mind, found it at: http://forum.diesiedleronline.de/thr...r-Suchroutinen
Too bad it's windoze only.
Third party program to which you can feed a screenshot and it tries to spot collectibles through color patterns iirc
I wonder if they are spawning in cloudy areas (if you haven't cleared your island). I'm just saying, I've got my island cleared and I'm in the 40's out of 100 as of now. Finding 1-3 pumpkins most spawns - I don't ever find all my collectibles - but at least 1 each time seems to be in the wide open archipelago.
29 pumpkins so far and cleared all islands... the problem is they are not spawning enough and even if you found 2-3 pumpkins out of each collectible they only count 1 for the achievement. hence I have doubts to complete this achievement within event time.
