Collectible Items: Information about a new upcoming feature - Collectible items.
Greetings Settlers,
This developer's diary entry discusses a new feature: Collectible items! This feature will be available for players level 16 and above.
More information can be found below.
The Collection system offers the possibility to create new items using Collectibles instead of standard resources. For this purpose, the
new tab called Collections will be added to the Mayor's house interface and the Military tab will be removed from there. The Collections tab will show an overview of all collectible items that have been acquired so far and what can be produced out of them.
You can still check military information about your settlement - just hover your mouse over the settler icon in the top bar:

After the item from the "Collections" tab is produced (without speeding up), you will need to collect it from the Mayor's house.
How do you do this? It's easy:- Click on the Mayor's house building on your home island.
- Go to the Collections tab.
- Click "Pick up" button.
- After you do so, the item will go directly to your star menu.
Collectible items can be found on the home island and adventure maps. These special items are being placed in random places on the home island a few times per day. In order to collect them, you must find these objects on the island and click on them.
Collectible items on adventure maps follow a different rule: They are spawned at the start of the adventure and are not re-spawned over time after you collect them. Every time you pick-up a collectible item from a map, you receive a certain amount of it.
All collectible items can be traded, they are located in the "Miscellaneous" category in the Trade window interface.
Collectible items can be present on both types of zones: Home islands and adventure maps.
