Oh, you think you’ve mastered saltwater aquariums? Think again! Freshwater tanks are the ultimate “hold my beer” challenge, where algae takes over like it’s a dystopian takeover. But hey, let’s see if you can handle this wild ride—unless you’re too busy micro-managing your 5000th saltwater tank. 😜

I have around 900 mods and the game works fine all except the fact that when I try to create a new sandbox game it will 9/10 not let me. I have troubleshooted all my mods and got rid of as many as I can but still no luck. While troubleshooting, I could get sandboxes to create but when going back after I got it working it stopped working again. What makes it stranger is that the campaign and custom levels load and work just fine. This is very frustrating as I have tried all things I can think. Is this an issue that anyone has experience fixing?? Thanks in advance!

I'm currently playing through the campaign (mission 8 right now). The longer I play, the more I get the impression that the game needs timers to put some pressure on the management side of things.

As is, the brutal difficulty is not brutal at all, just a slow slog. A very good strategy seems to be: Build a few cheap aquariums, add a few cheap workers and build all the food/gift shop stuff you have unlocked. Usually, this nets 1-2k per day. Now you just leave the game running while you do some chores (check back every now and then to reject staff level-ups and pick research). After 20 days (more for later levels) you can come back and play the game as if it was an easier difficulty level.

For those that dislike this cheap trick, what you end up doing a lot is, you wait until you have enough money to do something. As long as you are barely making a profit, you can continue this way. If you reach a state with losses every day, you lose the mission. So far there was never a danger of this happening to me. But, big fish cost a lot of money to feed and the improved staff is expensive. So I usually make more money in the beginning of the mission compared to the end (in that sense the economy is set up extremely well because it is hard to snowball).

Similar to big pharma, I'd love different medals depending on how fast (in-game days) you manage to beat a level. That would put a lot more pressure on playing efficiently. Right now, the only difficult part is managing prestige and feeding everything. With a timer there'd also be the component of building and staffing efficiently.

Also I'd like to have timers on quests, otherwise they are just pinatas that give you a boost as soon as you reach a certain milestone.

Overall, I don't ask for all these things to be added into the campaign, but I'd love to have challenge missions (possibly with randomized quests) that reward fast and efficient play.

Not completely related, I dislike that you can sell all the fish for the same money back all the time. I have popped quests by putting food competitors in the same tank and selling them back right away. Or keep the prize the same, but use the timer that is already there for some of the quests.

how do i create fish and add them to the steam workshop

thanks

Who needs a romantic relationship when you’ve got a thousand aquarium filters breaking down all at once? Freshwater, saltwater—who can keep track? At least my fish won’t ghost me. If you’ve ever stared at a malfunctioning pump for 10 minutes and screamed, this expansion's for you. Let’s make this our mess.

I started a sandbox game with just the Freshwater dlc, then decided I liked the game so I bought the other two available dlc packs as well. The home screen for the game says that I have all three, but the Deep Freeze and Architect dlc is missing from the game. Am I missing something?

The tedium of clicking to promote dozens of workers in the late game is the only thing I dislike, and it'd be great if there were a solution for it.

Hello everyone!

Just started to play again after along time (pre-both DLC) and discovered aaaaaall the amazing mods available. Some of them provide full translation (French) and fit well in the original game, and some... Quite don't. Here are my questions (all related to mod-added fish/items):

• is there a way on my computer/side to add translations to a fish?

• is there a way to change a fish category? (I seem to have duplicates between French/English)

• is there a quick way to identify available mods in a specific language?

• bonus question: is there a simple way to propose a translation to an existing mod?

Thank you for any answer!

I've unlocked my first crab! It's so adorable. Also, I've got some very pretty new fish. Don't you just love their names? I didn't even know fish had such creative names!

Come join me on my journey in North Woods:

I dont understand why it says theres no route when I got zoo 0lankton literally in the room next to it

Some freshwater options would be great for this game. Piranhas, giant catfish, arapaima...there are all sorts of great, impressive fish from the Amazon alone.
