    On my new save, I've given Gunther the chicken statue twice now ( Once it gave nothing, then when I had something else to give him, I moved the statue, it was the ancient seed so I got the reward for it, it said new reward for both items ) , and the second time I got the ancient seed recipe, an ancient seed pack, and 9 cauliflower seeds. I have no clue where the seeds came from, since I don't think you get cauliflower seeds from the Ancient seed, and I know not from the chicken statue

      You get cauliflower seeds for a certain amount of donations, very early actually. The problem is that I CAN'T give Gunther anything anymore. The bug struck with the last item that would have completed the collection.

        Are you 100% sure you have donated every item? For example, you may have used a prismatic shard to get the galaxy sword, put a frozen tear in the community center, hatched your dinosaur egg, gave away other gems as gifts, et cetera, and maybe forgot to give your next one to Gunther? Your collection panel would still show that you've found one, or more, even if you didn't actually give one to Gunther.

          I'm very sure, but I'll check again. In this case they should clearly tell me that Gunther can me more about it, so I'll just have to check for this.

            Maybe this will help (you or anyone else). This collection is complete, and it looks like there are 7 empty slots left. It may be easier to start by counting your empty slots before delving into looking at individual items.

              Nope, nothing missing. At least not that I could find it. Unless the complete collection also has to include all books.

                Hmm, i count 8 empty spots. Let me stare at it a bit and see if i can help you find what's missing.

                    Pfft, nooooo. How do you think i thought to have you check on that? Experience, is how. You're not the only one. :nope:

                      So... back to the chicken statue thing. :( Started a fifth save. (Fourth save found the chicken statue on the farm early on, and just went ahead and shipped it, then turned in the next one later.) Forest map again, in case that's relevant. Turned in 7 minerals from geodes, and 2 artifacts (rusty spur and skull), in the first two weeks. On day 15, caught a treasure while fishing in the forest river, and found the chicken statue. On day 16, turned in the chicken statue, got melon seeds (for 10th item), but no statue, again. :/ Seems like there is some other pre-requisite to get the statue, though the wiki just says turn in the little chicken statue to get the furniture statue. But something is off.

                        I think the problem is with the timing. It seems that if you donate the chicken statue (and maybe other items) during the same "transaction" in which you donate enough total items to earn a reward, you will get the total donations reward, but not the item specific reward. This is how it happened to me: I donated enough items to get a new reward (melon seeds-it was still early in my playthrough) and then donated one additional item, the Chicken Statue. The unfortunate result of this is that while I did get the melon seeds, I did not get the the Chicken Statue.

                          Possibly. This could be an explanation for a couple of my experiences. However, when first encountering the problem, i saved the chicken to donate another day, by itself, when no other reward was being achieved, and still did not receive the statue.

                          Until a fix or clear explanation is found, my strategy will be to just ship the first one or two chicken statues that i find, and turn in one later on. I definitely wouldn't go to bed and save a game after turning it in and not getting the statue.

                            Well, I've noticed something at least. You can go ahead and donate the statue, and if you don't get the reward, come back when you have other stuff. Then just pick the statue back up, and place it back down or move it to a different place. I managed to get the reward that way. But I do hope it gets fixed soon, but you can still get the rewards, you just need to keep picking it up and placing it back down whenever you go back.

                            The real issue is the bottom section of the platforms, where you can't place items down in without editing with a mod, which personally, I don't want to do.

                              The first time i had the chicken statue issue, i tried moving it later, but it still didn't work. However, that was during the same day, not on a different day. For me personally, i prefer to confirm receipt of the furniture statue before saving the game. But if you can get it later, that will help other people who didn't realize they were missing it to begin with.

                              As for the bottom row, i have 5 different game saves, all with items on the bottom rows. I've never used any mods in any game in the 20 years i've been playing computer games. I'm sorry you are having problems with it and refuse to believe that my advice works, but it works just fine for myself and others.

                                Yeah, you can move them later on and it'll work. I don't know if there's a certain number of days you should wait, but as long as it's a different day, and you obviously have something to give him in order to access the other items, you can get it later.

                                And no need to be rude. Because guess what? It didn't work for me. It doesn't work for everyone, I've tried it, and the only permanent solution for it seems to be a mod that you need to fiddle around with for a while. And I don't want to accidentally screw anything of mine up by using mods.

                                  I am not the one being rude. You have repeatedly stated that i am wrong or that what i said and illustrated with screenshots doesn't work, despite the fact that it works for myself and others who have said the same. You have intentionally started new threads on the subject, leading other players away from the existing thread where advice or help has been given on the subject, because you refuse to believe it works. I am not the one being rude. I am apologizing that it, for some reason, is not working for you. Like yourself, i would never use a mod, have not ever used one in 20 years, will never use one, on any game, ever, period. You have seen the multiple screenshots i've posted showing items in the bottom rows, but still you say "you can't place items down in without editing with a mod", which for some reason seems to be true for you, but not at all true about the game in general.

                                  Edit to add: I had wondered what your zoom level is. You may try zooming out to see more of the museum space. Some areas of the game need to be zoomed out to work better (such as the casino vendor). Maybe try that.
