I don't have this update yet (I always seem to get my updates late or NOT AT ALL because I'm on the android platform...). I stole this verbiage from the forums here ==> http://forums.teamlava.com/showthread.php?18256-New-Updates-and-Collectibles!
Collectibles are objects you receive from doing various actions in our games. The items will pop out, and you tap them to add to your Collections. A pop-up will display at the top of your screen momentarily to show you how far along you are in gathering all the items for that Collection.
You can view your collections and the rewards from the Main Menu > Collectibles tab.
Now, when you get all the items for your collection, what then? Well, it varies from item to item. Some award Coins and XP. Some award a bonus item!
That's not all, either. Like crops or recipes, Collectibles also come with their own levels of Mastery. Complete a Collection enough times, and you'll get bonus XP, Coins... sometimes even Gems!
For those of you who have the update, check it out, and let us know what you think! For those who don't have it, don't worry -- it should be coming soon.
You can redeem when you have all 4 items in a line highlighted. if it's still gray, you cannot redeem. The inventory is the list at the bottom of the screen when you go into design mode. The redeemed items will be in there- for instance, the utensil rack is in the wall item tab, etc.
There currently is a problem with the chef hats moving- many people have complained that the hats move but go right back to 0 when you exit out and come back (myself included). it's just a bug that'll need to be worked out.
And guess what - this update is ONLY FOR iOS - NOT ANDROID. It said Android should come out soon. They said that with badges and as of right now, we still don't have badges on the Android platform!!
I got these from the forums on tips on how to get certain collectibles:
RESTAURANT STORY
Floral Bouquet ? Buying wall items
Cooking Tools ? tipping tables, buying floor items
Chef Implements ? preparing/serving food and drink
Baking Goodness ? preparing/serving food and drink
Yummy Ingredients ? preparing/serving food and drink (these seem difficult to get, haven?t figured out the technicalities yet)
BAKERY STORY
Same as Restaurant Story so far.
**Supposedly there is a bug where the progress bar goes up and a few hours later it is back at zero.
Pictures of the collectibles:
- released a sushi bar
New Sushi bar - only iOS has it right now
New Sushi Dishes
- now show HOW MANY parts you have in your queue. This is a nice update.
You can see that you can finally see how many parts you have.
