The Butterfly Collection is an item created by the player when he catches a butterfly during an expedition. Butterflies can only be found in Jungle and Prehistoric worlds, and are collected by simply traveling on or within one hex of its icon.
Multiple butterflies stack into the same collection, each adding to its value. Whatever its size, the collection can be donated for Fame or Funds upon return to London.
Butterflies can be destroyed by natural disasters / shrine curses, and can be put to sleep with a horn flute. Sleeping butterflies cannot be caught until they awaken again.
The explorer Charles Darwin receives +10 Sanity when capturing a butterfly, thanks to his Butterfly Enthusiast perk.
Trivia[]
- Charles Darwin used to start out with the Butterfly Net, which increased his chance of finding butterflies by 10%. But since the Alpha 27 update of the game, the mechanic of catching butterflies has changed and this item seems to have been retired.
