I didn't understand on how to find the progress...but in the Start Menu -> BONUS -> Field Guide, it will only show you the numbers you have collected. I was missing #9 by the coffee pot. Luckily I had a save point from the early stages!

There are fifteen platypus eggs hidden throughout about 3/4 of the game. They will not show up when you activate the hotspots button, but an interaction icon will show up when you are near them – the hardest part is finding the right position to stand in to trigger the hotspot.
This is the only game-spanning missable trophy but can thankfully still be cleaned up via any sort of manual saves you made – for example: If you missed an egg in the middle of the game, you only need to pick up that one missing egg to unlock the trophy.
In the order they can be collected:
- Outside Hotel - At the bottom and a bit to the right of the ramp that leads to the middle of the screen (just above the green heart with toilet paper)
- Laundry Room - Just left of the center of the laundry machine (the part that looks like an actual laundry machine), next to the small red and green circle lights on it
- Restaurant - On top of coffee maker, next to the green thing sticking out on the right of the machine
- Basement/Pie Vending Machine – Out on the balcony, bottom left corner of screen, against the wall just left of where the balcony ends
- Robo Hanger - Just left of Rufus, in some wires/circuits
- Tutorial Area, Redux - In a wire on the red tube directly right of the pulley on the left side of the screen
- Factory Residence – Just right of the fan
- Lab – In the bottom left pipe
- Patio – Inside the food truck, on the right side, on like a hotplate
- Outside Sewers (Right Rufus) – Just left of the reed-looking pipes on the left of the right-most pipe
- Pipe Forest (Left Rufus) – From the tip of the traffic cone above Rusty's head, go left until you see it against the tree
- District Center (Middle Rufus) - Top left corner, on ledge above barred window/left of door leading back to Ruined Settlement
- Campsite (Left Rufus) - Just left of the exit to the Pipe Forest, in a hole in the tree
- Construction Site (Middle Rufus) - On an intersection of three pipes under a board in the lower left corner
- Sewers (Left Rufus) - Outside the top left corner of the large pipe on the right with the grating on it – you have been on this screen several times before but the egg is only accessible when out of the water, which you have not been able to do until passing through the campsite.
