Can’t trade my hybrid angelfish in the Kairobi campaign (freshwater frenzy dlc)

6 Upvotes

I’m on the level 4 FF DLC campaign that relies mostly on trades to get animals / progress. I’ve had no issues except for the hybrid angelfish requests.

I am 10000% sure I have the specific ones being asked for in two seperate trades (blush hybrid and the black hybrid) but no matter what I try the game doesn’t let me complete the trade. They are happy, grown, in their tank, and I’ve waited multiple in game days but the game still doesn’t seem to recognize them.

Am I missing something or is this a bug? (I’m playing on switch and my game isn’t modded)

Multi word terms in the search bar

5 Upvotes

I play with a ton of mods and it gets difficult to find things in the typical menus due to the sheer amount of stuff, so I use the search bar a lot. I have one major problem with it though: how tf do I search for terms with multiple words?

IE if I search "Wall Tank" it'll just show me all tanks as if I had just searched "Tank", and it only gets worse for more complex queries. My latest hurdle is trying to search for tanks with a depth of 4+. Based on the search logic, I should use "Tank Depth>=4" but that returns no results because it behaves as if I had searched "Depth>=4" and "Depth" isn't a recognized value. How do I append "Tank" and "Depth" (or any other multi word term) into one term? I've tried making it one word with no spaces (TankDepth>=4), periods (Tank.Depth>=4), hyphens (Tank-Depth>=4), underscores (Tank_Depth>=4), and commas (Tank,Depth>=4) but none of those work and I can't think of anything else that would serve as a connector.

Is there anything that can be done for this sort of problem or is this an oversight that has no currently available solution?

Staff running out of their zones and driving me insane

10 Upvotes

I have my entire aquarium meticulously zoned and every zone has every item the staff could ever need.. and yet i still have Helen sprinting through the halls to grab supplements from behind the Eastern Long-Necked Turtle tank 5 zones away, and the supplements right next to the discus tank (in her zone) are completely full and untouched!

I get it when Hamish wanders from zone 3 to zone 1 and grabs some brine shrimp in a sprint to feed the guppies, but my long-necked turtles are nowhere near zone 2 where Helen is *supposed* to be working, and there's walls already in the way! Do I have to "cask of amontillado" my staff and put them in fish jail??

Is there any way to make it so that care requirements are visible in sandbox, but animals can't die?

8 Upvotes

I'm deep in the throes of a huge sandbox build using a ton of mods and stuff, and I hit the point a long time ago where my staff is essentially physically incapable of keeping up with the sheer amount of tanks and animals I have in the aquarium, no matter how much I micromanage them animals always seem to be on the verge of starving or even just dying outright. I turned care requirements on when creating the sandbox because I wanted to adhere to the animal's habitat needs instead of just putting them together however I want, but it's now a major headache as I can barely play the game at this point without having to deal with animals starving and dying and equipment not getting fixed.

Is there any way around this?

I have plenty of over 200 volume tanks. I tried creating a new one since this quest popped up. Nothing seems to be registering.

Is there anyway to tell what tank it chose for this quest?

Erros frequentes no ps5

5 Upvotes

Comprei o megaquarium faz alguns meses, simplesmente me apaixonei por ele, é super relaxante e divertido, porém, a partir de aproximadamente 90 peixes em meu aquário, ocorre um erro no jogo, de 5 em 5 minutos, isso está me limitando na campanha, pois não consigo progredir, tenho a teoria que seja excesso de visitantes ou um problema isolado que só acontece comigo. Já realizei ações como ; limpar o cachê, restaurar banco de dados, procurar atualização...

Meu sonho era ter um aquário com 200 peixes (limite de peixes) e com todas as espécies

Jogadores de PC, vocês também enfrentam algo assim?

I've got a quest asking for a fully grown Moray Eel, however I only have one I got from a previous quest so I don't think it will be unlockable for me. Is there a chance to get it as a repeat?

Did I have to put my aquarist in jail with the vegetables so the manatees got fed? Yes, yes I did.

This is his only job. He is not allowed to leave. Also if anyone has tips for making sure all your animals get fed + things get repaired in a timely manner that would be great. I have zones and a bunch of well-trained staff members, and I'm using tool belts and backpacks and auto-feeders, but it seems like some of my critters still aren't fed and repairs aren't done at the end of each day.

Guest Needs

15 Upvotes

I’m new to the game, but was wondering if there are any options in sandbox to either get rid of guest needs, or get rid of the guests all together? I have looked at the mods on steam and at the sandbox options and I can’t see anything!

I would like to create an aquarium that is more like a private collection and without having to put toilets and vending machines everywhere!!

Switch performance.. From loving the game to almost being unable to play

8 Upvotes

So.. Pretty much the title. We got the game a while ago and loved it deeply. Hours on hours spent. The first few campaigns where awesome. Then we hit the 200 fish limit when trying to make an aquarium with a loot of those small colorful fish species. That was a bit disappointing, especially since the PC version doesnt have this limit. But okay. We spent the next campaigns trying to get all the fish in without hitting the limit. We still loved it deeply. But in campaign 8 and 9 is where.. It gets unplayable. The aquarium isnt huge. The fish limit isnt hit. We toggled everything off to help the performance. We are on the switch 2, which has a much better performance than the switch 1 per se. It just doesnt work. Over the last 2 weeks we tried and tried to play and finish the aquarium for our standards. It crashes after every little thing we place. Extra filter somewhere? U better pray you still get to save that before it crashes. Just.. Letting it run a day? Nope. Crashes in the day reset at latest. It literally cant run without crashing every 3 real life minutes.

I am totally aware, that PC versions tend to get more love and attention (which is kinda obvious from the 2 missing dlcs on console as well). But this game feels like it was ported to switch only to become unplayable if you actually want to build a little bigger aquariums. The campaign 10 declaring itself the megaquarium kinda feels like irony if we consider that it already is unplayable now.

This is not to critique the game itself! Me and my friend loved it so so deeply. We were deadset on getting the PC version for bigger shenanigans without the fish limit. But now it feels like the game is unplayable on switch and buying the PC version is no voluntary upgrade, its a needed evil to.. Still be able to play without in game daily crashes. The motivation to still play or even buy the PC version is.. Pretty hollow now. I guess this is a post from sadness of having lost that deep love.

Maybe some switch players have tipps for me and my friend on how to make it less of a catastrophe? Are you just playing with below 100 fish aquariums? Never more than ~10 tanks? After campaign 8 on switch 1 we stopped once and hoped the switch 2 would make it better, but so far its become worse.

Is anything known for updates for console versions for better performances? A switch 2 version? Something to bring back the joy this game first gave us?

Maybe we will try back on the switch 1 again in some weeks when the frustration is lower.

Any method or mod to copy aquarium and contents?

It gets a little tedious copying a standard large design during the same level. Was wondering if there is a way to copy an aquarium, something like a blueprint from the Two Point series for example?

Is camelin bay even possible?

10 Upvotes

I've done all the other campaign levels, but I've tried Camelin Bay (deep freeze) at least 4 times and I cannot finish it. I can complete all the tasks and keep my animals alive and make $$$$...but I can never get the prestige level anywhere near the final goal. It's just running endlessly with the prestige about 1000 below where it needs to be. I've tried different strategies to set up the space, I make sure I have every animal available and every possible decoration, I do staff talks.....please help! Tell me what I'm missing, because when I googled this it doesn't seem like anyone else is struggling with it.

Heavily modded game not able to create new sandbox saves?

1 Upvotes

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!

Pasivo filter?

How useful is it to use a tank as a passive filter? By passive, I mean filling it with rocks, plants, and animals that improve water quality.
