Cards are only one part of the collection. Use this hub to choose a figurine or audiotape checklist, or an optional secret-area guide. The guides keep official collection targets separate from community observations: a Steam achievement can confirm a milestone without proving where every item spawns.
Collection and Exploration Guides
Start with the object you are tracking. Route details and spoilers stay inside the individual guides.
Figurines
Follow the community-documented landmark sweep, then continue normal trash-pile discoveries. Check the Steam milestones without assuming twelve fixed map positions.
Explore topicAudiotapes
Track the seven-tape achievement target and reported 6-of-7 counter issues. Physical display mismatches are not proof of an official eighth-tape requirement.
Explore topicSecret Location
Read the official hidden-surprise hint before opening the community route. The collision-based entry method is optional, spoiler-heavy and patch-sensitive.
Explore topicCereal Boxes
Follow the box search and documented late-game purchase routes for foil collecting. This card-related guide belongs to the Cards Hub rather than a separate location list.
Explore topicUse milestones to track progress
Steam lists figurine milestones at 1, 5, 9 and 12, and audiotape milestones at 1, 5 and 7. The Achievements reference collects those targets alongside the game's other unlocks. These totals are progress checks, not a fixed coordinate map or a guarantee about the next trash pile.
For figurines, the existing community route describes six landmark checks followed by random discoveries. For tapes, the available reports describe trash-pile finds and occasional counter discrepancies. Record your starting count and compare it after a pickup; do not replace a missing item with an invented location.
Patch changes and safe exploration
The August 22 announcement increased figurine appearance chances but did not publish a numerical drop rate. The Updates page explains the relevant changes so you can compare an older walkthrough with the dated official notes.
Before investigating a counter mismatch or trying the secret route, preserve a good save. If progress rolls back, use the save troubleshooting guide instead of deleting or editing save files. The secret-area route is a community report, not an official movement tutorial or a guaranteed reward route.
For the normal yard cycle, return to Gameplay. If your next goal is card condition, repair or foil collection, use the Cards Hub; it groups those tasks separately from exploration.
