Dear Curators,
A few small bug fixes this time. Details below.
Tim Twice Circled
Fixed bug: Schooling Bannerfish had a warning icon but nothing listed unless Invertebrilliant DLC was installed.
Modding: menuTag is now added to tags automatically on load giving better forward and back compatibility with custom objectives.
Modding: Blue and Red Slushie sales are now tracked separately for custom objectives.
Dear Curators,
Just a single bug fixed, introduced 2 patches ago with the optimisation updates.
Tim Twice Circled
Fixed bug: simulation stalled if you added lights to a polar dome, saved and then reloaded that game.
Dear Curators,
This patch contains bug fixes.
Tim Twice Circled
Fixed bug: game was giving 'eat or damage' warnings incorrectly for Button Polyps (heavily armored).
Fixed bug: minor issue with Species Time Trial where it would not be checked unless a new animal was added.
Fixed bug: Staff could be spawned with no skills if you started a sandbox at rank 1.
Fixed bug: Explorer trait was counting different sized backdrops of the same type as unique decorations.
Fixed bug: Backdrops could be built anywhere in larger polar domes. Also backdrops are now allowed on viewing walls of polar domes because they are deep enough that the view is not blocked.
DF 3. Sulasi: Replaced large heater with mega heater on deep outcrop tank.
UI: Squeezed a bit more horizontal pixels into the area windows can appear so you can have 3 staff windows + the staff management window open at the same time (16:9 aspect ratio).
Modding: Made staff item allow/disallow/prioritise grid scroll if it gets too long due to additional items being added in mods. The value when this starts to scroll can be edited in gui.data: staffItemGridMaxHeight via a mod if desired.
Dear Curators,
This patch contains bug fixes and some minor performance improvements that could help very large aquariums.
Tim Twice Circled
Optimisation: Reduced the frequency of multi-tank system updates to reduce CPU load in late-game aquariums with many tanks combined into a single system.
Optimisation: Utilise caching and adjusted logic to reduce CPU load from objective checking (helps most in late game aquariums with 1000+ objects).
Fixed bug: game was giving 'eat or damage' warnings incorrectly in some circumstances.
Fixed bug: Prestige window species count was not reducing when you sold a species until the game was reloaded.
Fixed bug: One of the placements on the Small Centerpiece was off.
Modding: Added additional resilience to campaign missions with regards to mods which change tank sizes. Campaigns will not work exactly as intended, so it's not recommended, but it will be less likely to cause a situation where the player cannot progress.
Hello Curators,
It's been a busy time since the launch of the Invertebrilliant Collection last month. Thank you to everyone who purchased the DLC, and welcome to all the new players who have joined us since the launch.
Based on the feedback from players over the last month, I've chosen a selection of features and improvements and put these into a larger-than-normal update. Let's take a look.
One of the key bits of feedback I received about the Invertebrilliant Collection was the desire to play the base campaign levels with the DLC enabled. While this was possible with some save file editing, I can totally understand the desire for an official feature.
So that's what I've done.
As an added bonus, you can play with the Architect's Collection DLC too! DLCs with their own campaigns (Freshwater Frenzy and Deep Freeze) are not supported because these have too many separate technologies (freshwater, polar domes, abyssal etc.) to incorporate well into the base campaign.
I've curated the levels so that you have access to a different selection of DLC animals in each, to maximise variety. You'll also unlock the various Science-based objects during the campaign, when it makes the most sense from a level-design standpoint.
None of the objectives have been changed although there are certainly opportunities to complete the original objectives using DLC animals.
The prestige requirements for the levels remain unchanged, so you'll often find you don't need to use all of the animals available to complete each level. I like this approach because it offers the most flexibility and variety.
The one exception is 10. Megalopolis, where the prestige requirements for each rank are increased in line with how it works in Sandbox mode. So if you want an extra challenge, this is the one to go for!
In a complex aquarium, with several DLCs worth of animal content, the brain-fatigue of tracking animal compatibility can become a drag. To help with this, I've added warnings which appear above tanks when a predator may eat or damage another animal in the tank.
Players can continue to play in 'hardcore mode' by disabling these warnings in the settings. However, for most players, this handy warning should avoid those "ah dam" moments, while maintaining the compatibility puzzle that Megaquarium veterans know and love!
This is a small addition that could save a lot of player time, so I wanted to draw attention to it. You can now use the Copy Object hotkey (default: c) while hovering over a task bubble (e.g. Orange Pellets appearing above a tank) to immediately grab the associated dispenser from the build menu.
This makes placing down the requisite dispensers after building a new tank a cinch!
Feature: You can now replay the base campaign with the Architect and Invertebrilliant Collection DLCs enabled.
UI: Added 'dangerous' warning above tanks when a predator may eat or damage another animal. Toggleable in settings.
UI: Added ability to 'copy' from task bubbles that appear about tanks and equipment. E.g. Hover over the circle with Orange Pellets above the tank, press the copy object hotkey (default c) and you will now be placing Orange Pellet Dispenser.
UI: Added dedicated 'Copy Object' tool in the top left bar and made the default key for this 'c'. If you have already set a different hotkey in the settings, this will not be overridden.
UI: Added a dedicated 'Copy Paint' tool in the top left bar and made the default key for this 'v'. If you have already set a different hotkey in the settings, this will not be overridden.
UI: Added a 3rd 'Research Mode' setting. The options are now:
Must choose (default)
Allow no project
Auto (new) - automatically start researching the next project in the list.
UI: Added a note to the Armored tooltip which tells you the effective size when fully grown.
UI: Current object count is shown in Research Window as well as build menu.
UI: Current object count is shown in Message Log if 'always show object count in build menu' setting is on.
Balance: The time it takes to level up a staff member is now based on their highest skill level, rather than their total skill levels. This makes multi-disciplined staff less punishing to level-up.
Balance: Increased concentration of staff skill levels on randomly generated staff for hire in Sandbox. In other words, it's more likely that you'll get a staff with several levels in the same skill rather than a mixture. Mixed staff will still be generated, but less often than before this update.
Simulation: Total number of squares that can be added to zones increased from 16,383 to 536,870,911.
Sandbox: Animals with lighting requirements will generally only be offered as rewards if you have unlocked or can unlock the level of lighting they require.
Fixed bug: Tooltip for 'Memory' talent. "Days to level up" will never show a negative number. However, experience does continue to accrue in the background even if you don't choose a skill to level up immediately.
Fixed bug: On 8. Le Dufont, if you already owned a species of coral and tried to place it again with a default mount (small rocks), it would place the small rocks anyway. Now it doesn't place the small rocks unless you can also place the coral.
Campaign: From level 8 onwards, changed many objectives to use 'All requirements met'. This makes the compatibility requirements more interesting.
Campaign: On 8. Le Dufont, the oddballs side objective now requires 2 oddballs and 2 crustaceans. This change was implemented to facilitate the use of 'All requirements met' as described in the previous bullet.
Dear Curators,
This patch is mostly bug fixes, but there are a couple of niceties such as pumps reconnecting automatically after moving and some extra info regarding mounting points while placing corals.
Tim Twice Circled
UI: Pumps, compressors and pumps reconnect automatically when moved. They can still be disconnected manually and will disconnect when placed outside of range to whatever they are connected to.
UI: land animals can always be returned to tanks after being picked up, even if there is not enough land due to a reduction in ice.
UI: Added a 'mounting point' count to the bottom game bar when placing a mountable object on an object with mounting points.
UI: When holding an existing object, the name will appear on the bottom game bar.
Fixed bug: incorrect number shown for land animals "when fully grown" when hovering over the capacity icon on a tank.
Fixed bug: you could place objects where the stairs were on underfloor tanks.
Fixed bug: large underfloor tank capacity was 4 too many because the stairs were being counted as water in the volume calculation.
Fixed bug: the corner in the underground tunnel was not painted.
Fixed bug: when placing a coral with a default mount (rocks), it would allow you to buy the rocks without the coral if you couldn't afford both. Now the purchase is completely blocked unless you can afford both the rocks and the coral.
Simulation: Walls placed against the inside walls of bridges no longer block guests.
Balance: Cost of unlocking animals via merchants in sandbox rebalanced so it's based on animal rarity, not rank.
Balance: Statically mounted animals e.g. corals never give -1 prestige from being overviewed by guests.
4. Valberg: number of Cuckoo Wrasse required for 1st objective reduced to 5 to make fully grown match minimum volume of tank requested on the obejctive.
Graphics: When placing a new animal, the animal that appears at the mouse is at full size, rather than starting size.
Dear Curators,
All patches associated with the v5.0 release will be combined into this post to keep things tidy.
Tim Twice Circled
Fixed bug: Calcium Reactor was not available in 3. Sulasi in the Deep Freeze campaign.
Reduced requirement for Sandbox Trials - Species time trial to 70 species. Well done to everybody who already completed it, you did it on hard mode!
Improved mod update code to be slightly more resilient.
Translation: Words for 'Centerpiece' and 'Slushie' in Chinese changed to better fit meaning.
Translation: Words for 'Centerpiece' in German changed to better fit meaning.
Fixed bug: Button Polyps were getting unlocked incorrectly when a finite number were purchased or given as a gift.
Fixed bug: Mounted objects were getting double subtracted from the in-game count in the build menu, when the tank holding their parent object was sold.
Fixed bug: Floating plants could be put anywhere in magnifying tank - now they can only be placed at the back.
Fixed typo: Horseshoe crab description.
Graphics: Items on gift shop shelves and tool dispensers are now visible when picked up.
Fixed bug: Centerpiece and backdrop objectives were being generated even when Invertebrilliant Collection was disabled in Sandbox.
Fixed bug: When aquascaping is provided as part of an objective in Sandbox mode, it has to match the salinity of the animal.
Fixed bug: Octopus Custume was not spawning.
Fixed bug: Slushie machine refill cost was incorrect and final red slushie was not being purchased.
Fixed bug: Long-Spined Urchin was not being classed as an invertebrate for the Invertebrate Poster.
Fixed bug: Frozen Paint 3 was overridden by Underwater Paint 3.
Gameplay: Corals are now mounted on existing decorations.
Gameplay: You can prioritise tasks associated with specific items or skill levels on the advanced staff tab.
Gameplay: Calcium is now a hard requirement for some animals. Calcium Reactors need to be fixed with Calcium Refills when they break down.
Gameplay: Lights can go on any tank.
Gameplay: Rounded tanks cost slightly more, non-rounded tanks cost slightly less.
Gameplay: Backpacks double carrying capacity of more than just food now: gift shop, RO membrane refills and Calcium Refills are all compatible now.
Gameplay: Base game polish/rebalance.
Gameplay: Prestige is now earned for food/drink variety.
Gameplay: Copperband Butterfly is dangerous to Bivalves.
Gameplay: Outcrop tank max size is increased.
Gameplay: Arapaima can no longer eat Pacu.
Gameplay: You can build one-way gates underneath archways.
Gameplay: Reduced range of podium to 12.
Achievements: 2 new 'time trial' achievements have been added.
UI: Extra message log filters.
UI: Build menu remembers last position.
UI: Tank capacity icons shows an additional value for when all animals are 'grown up'.
UI: Added support for 'dangerous' tag in search.
UI: Added negative support in search using exclamation mark. e.g. "!dangerous" means animals which are NOT dangerous.
UI You can pick up multiple immobile objects at the same time now by right clicking on their portraits on a tank window.
Many, many bug fixes.
Megaquarium's latest expansion is out now!
A huge gameplay update has also gone live. For more information on what was included, check out these blog posts:
Convert to capsule:
If anyone notices any bugs to do with either the new DLC or update, then please let me know via the Steam discussions.
To celebrate the launch of the Invertebrilliant Collection, I've highlighted a few of my favourite animals below...
The Coco Worm creates its protective tube by secreting calcium carbonate, so guess what? It needs a lot of Calcium. See last week's blog post if you missed the changes coming to calcium reactors.
One thing I really like about Coco Worms, is that unlike most corals, they don't need light. This makes them perfect to pair with Mirror Anthias or Reef Squirrelfish, who dislike lights. What's more, if you add at least 3 other species to the tank, the Coco Worms will get a prestige boost thanks to their Communal tag.
The Boxing Shrimp is a fun animal to build a tank around. They live in pairs, so it's a minimum of 2 in a tank. They can be territorial, but their small size mitigates this unless they are in large numbers. The next step is to choose some soft corals, as each Boxing Shrimp requires 2.
If there are at least 10 rocks in the tank, the shrimp are worth additional prestige. I like to use the Rubble decoration with my Boxing Shrimp as it maximises soft coral capacity and rock count.
Button Polyps become available at rank 3, allowing you to start your coral collecting journey earlier! At this rank, reaching a water quality of 70% can be tricky, but low feeding requirements and high prestige value make it worth the effort. Button Polyps have some unique features: They come in three different colour variants, all unlocked simultaneously. Although guests will treat them as the same animal, you'll be rewarded with extra prestige if you use all the variants - similar to the hybrids from Freshwater Frenzy.
Button Polyps also make use of a brand new mechanic for this DLC: optional light requirements. They survive with a light level of 5, but will truly flourish with heavier lighting, netting you extra prestige.
Invertebrates, as a group, don't always get the recognition they deserve and we've tried to change this! I've had a lot of fun designing and playing with the Invertebrilliant Collection, and I hope you do too.
If you enjoy it, then please consider leaving a review. DLCs get far fewer reviews than games in general. For prospective buyers, being able to read the thoughts of another player can be so helpful.
Thank you and have fun!

If you've not heard, Megaquarium's getting a new DLC. Head over to the store page for a rundown of what's included. Remember to wishlist if you want a reminder on the day it comes out.
As I've mentioned in previous posts, there will be a free update that releases alongside the new DLC on the 25th February. If you missed the first blog post about the update, we looked at UI improvements. Today, we look at the changes to gameplay coming your way.
Strictly speaking, the following change is an UI improvement, but it has such a big effect on the gameplay, I thought it deserved to go in this post.
In the advanced tab of a staff member's window, you can already Disallow the use of specific items and tasks based on skill level. The update will add the option to Prioritise as well.
In this busy playthrough of level 5. Napalos, I used this new feature to great effect. Quinn and Anna share the feeding tasks on the left side of the aquarium. There's a few tricky tasks that we want Quinn, our better feeder, to tackle. These are the higher skill tasks, the supplements and the large quantity of green pellets that need feeding to the Unicorn Surgeonfish.
By prioritising these on Quinn, and doing a mix of prioritising and disallowing on Anna, we can get our aquarists allocated correctly. Our orders are flexible too: When Quinn's finished with the hard tasks, he'll help Anna with the easier ones, so no-one is sitting idly.
While working on the Invertebrilliant Collection, I was inspired to change how calcium works across the game.
Calcium will become a hard requirement for animals that need it, similar to how plants and rocks work for other species. Each animal will add to the total calcium requirement for the tank, so large displays of calcium-hungry stony corals will need a lot!
Each calcium reactor supplies a chunk of calcium and requires regular refills to maintain operation. Balancing the needs of your calcium-demanding animals, limited equipment space and staff time makes for some really interesting gameplay.
Eagle-eyed players may have already noticed from the trailer and screenshots that it will soon be possible to place lights on any tank - even those with rounded edges.
I wanted to give players more flexibility as to which tanks they used for their light-demanding animals. if you want to create a dazzling display of corals surrounded by your favourite round-tank loving sharks, go for it!
I've balanced this added flexibility by increasing the cost of rounded tanks by a small percentage.
Since the release of Freshwater Frenzy, the backpack accessory has only doubled the carrying capacity of food items. This will be changed so the carrying capacity of gift shop refills, RO membranes and calcium refills will be doubled too. I'm hoping this change will bring new utility to the humble backpack.
I've learned a lot over the years about what makes a good Megaquarium campaign. With that in mind, I went back and polished up the original base game campaign to make everything run as smoothly as possible.
Improvements include:
Less re-researching of animals and equipment unlocked in previous levels.
More varied animal availability and less re-use of animals in the side-objectives.
Some research costs and prestige requirements have been tweaked for better pacing.
In summary: it's the same campaign - only better!
As an added bonus, 2 new achievements will go live next week. I can reveal that they will be:
Sandbox Trials - Species time trial
In Sandbox mode, have 80 different species in your aquarium before the end of Day 100, using the Limited Supply preset on normal difficulty or higher.
Sandbox Trials - Prestige time trial
In Sandbox mode, accumulate 8000 Prestige before the end of Day 100, using the Quick Start preset on normal difficulty or higher.
These are the first achievements where the number of days matters. This adds some interesting gameplay decisions.
For example, on the Species time trial, when attempting to access more species, will you prioritise gaining ranks or completing side-objectives?
In the Prestige time trial, the quick start preset means you start at rank 7. This gives you many options for what to build and research, especially if you're playing with DLC. Which strategy will help you hit the Prestige goal the quickest?
And just to avoid any confusion, these changes are not currently live. This is just a sneak preview of what's to come. All these improvements and more will be going live next week on the 25th February.
Until then, Tim Twice Circled
If you've not heard, Megaquarium's getting a new DLC. Head over to the store page for a rundown of what's included. Remember to wishlist if you want a reminder on the day it comes out.
Magnifying and raised tanks let guests see species more easily, increasing the Prestige Chance - that's the chance that a guest will generate Prestige when they see the animal in the tank - by 40% and 20% respectively.
There are three groups that benefit from this greatly:
Small species, because their basic Prestige Chance is very low.
Rare species and those that Dislike Conspecifics, because you cannot add additional animals of the same type to boost Prestige Chance.
So those are the benefits, what are the drawbacks? Both magnifying and raised tanks have very low capacities. Not only does this limit you to small species, it's also inefficient in terms of floor space. Too many small tanks spread over a large area makes feeding very time-consuming!
However, there are some clever layouts to lessen the load on your feeders like the one below. By limiting our species to those that eat zoo plankton and orange pellets and joining the platforms together, we can really speed up the process! What layouts will you come up with?
Underfloor tanks allow you to create exhibits under the very paths your guests walk. In terms of space efficiency it doesn't get better!
However, the animals inside still need the usual filtering and feeding. Pumps are handy for the former and a small opening, accessible via stairs, allows for the latter. Finding neat floorplans to incorporate the feeding hatch is a big part of the challenge with these tanks.
I've been combining underfloor tanks with wall tanks, as shown in the screenshot below. This creates a space-efficient design that packs a prestige-filled punch!
Underfloor tanks are ripe for exploitation by ingenious designers - personally, I can't wait to see what players do with them!
The new vista tank is a deep, square cornered tank that's perfect for housing the biggest backdrops and centerpieces.
This simple but effective tank has become a mainstay of my aquarium building toolkit.

If you've not heard, Megaquarium's getting a new DLC. Head over to the store page for a rundown of what's included. Remember to wishlist if you want a reminder on the day it comes out.
As I've mentioned in previous posts, there will be a free update that releases alongside the new DLC on the 25th February. In fact, there's so many great improvements to highlight that I need to spread them across two blog posts!
In part one, we'll look at UI improvements, while gameplay changes will be left for part two.
The message log will have extra buttons allowing you to filter messages to one of the following:
Objectives
Trades
Merchants
Messages with objects enclosed
Animals (grow up, breeding, death etc.)
Staff level-ups
This really cleans up the list and allows you to find exactly what you're looking for!
The build menu will remember its vertical position when you return to it, so it's easier to pick up where you left off.
This really helps when you're switching between placing animals, aquascaping and equipment while building a brand new tank.
Another small change that really reduces the friction. Ever wanted to know whether a tank would be full once all the animals are grown up? Soon you'll be able to!
Last but by no means least, you will be able to search using the tag "dangerous" to see which animals are dangerous to a specific prey type. For example: "dangerous:soft corals" will show all the animals that are dangerous to soft corals.
Even more useful, you will be able to put "!" in front of any search term to negate it (borrowed from the programming principle).
Therefore you will be able to use "!dangerous:stony corals" to show all the animals that are not dangerous to stony corals - allowing you to happily add these to your coral tank.
The "!"symbol will work with all search terms. I'm looking forward to seeing what players will do with this powerful new tool.
And just to avoid any confusion, these changes are not currently live. This is just a sneak preview of what's to come. All these improvements and more will be coming in an update landing on the 25th February.

Hello Curators,
No major changes. Another small patch fixing minor sandbox issues. Details are available in the changelog.
Tim Twice Circled
Fixed bug: In Sandbox, various side objectives were being generated using content from installed, but inactive, DLCs.
Hello Curators,
There are no major changes in this update, a player made me aware of an issue that needed an immediate fix. Details are available in the changelog.
That "big" update is coming alongside the release of the new expansion next month.
Tim Twice Circled
Fixed bug: ARG abyssal research side objectives were not generating with animal availability set to 'Very Limited'.
Simulation: Increased bin attraction strength to 1 so it can interrupt other pathfinding. This should resolve the issue of litter being dropped in range of a bin.
9. Carbon City: Made Orange Pellet available from the start of the level.
If you've not heard, Megaquarium's getting a new DLC. Head over to the store page for a rundown of what's included. Remember to wishlist if you want a reminder on the day it comes out.
One of my major goals for this expansion was to make playing with corals and other static invertebrates more interesting. I wanted scope for more verticality in the displays to make the most of corals when placed in larger tanks.
Secondly, I wanted the player to have more creative freedom when it comes to placing corals, to make more personal displays.
To achieve this, I had to completely rework the way corals are placed in the game. Hopefully you agree that the results are worth it!
When placing a coral, you can now choose to mount that coral on an existing rock or cave in the tank, as long as it has a new stat called 'mounting capacity'. By rotating the coral, you can cycle through available positions to get just the look that you want.
If there are no suitable decorations inside the tank, a default mount of 'small rocks' is provided for convenience. These improvements will go live in the base game as well as the new DLC, so everyone will be able to enjoy them.
For those that do invest in a copy of the Invertebrilliant Collection, you'll have access to some additional aquascaping options that take the new placement mechanics to the next level.
Backdrops are vertical rock walls with high mounting capacity in a small footprint. The downside: they must be placed against the back walls of the tank.
Meanwhile, centerpieces are large rock piles designed to go in the middle of your tank, looking great from all angles. While they don't have quite as many mounting points as backdrops, they make up for this by coming pre-equipped with both rock and cave capacity, avoiding the need for separate aquascaping.
The expansion also comes with a set of mountable plants which expand your options even further when working with vegetation loving animals. It's even possible to fill a centerpiece or backdrop with nothing but plants!
This small but powerful addition is one of my favourites from across the entire expansion. The display design challenge just went 4d!

Announcing a brand new expansion for Megaquarium: Introducing the Invertebrilliant Collection!
This expansion focuses on the world of invertebrates, featuring 15 brand new invertebrates for your collection, as well as many new tanks and other objects that help make the most of this unique animal group!
For a full rundown of what's on offer, head over to the store page. Remember to wishlist so you'll be notified when it goes live!
The expansion will be priced at $9.99 (or your regional equivalent) and will launch 25th February 2026 on both GOG and Steam.
As usual, this expansion will be launching alongside a big upgrade to the base game including many quality-of-life features, balance improvements and more. Details to follow in a later post!
When designing a new expansion, I like to base my designs around a core feature that will expand Megaquarium's gameplay in new, interesting directions.
With the Invertebrilliant Collection, that core idea is making the use of corals and other static invertebrates more dynamic, creative and beautiful!
I'll go into more detail about how I've done this in another blog post, but I hope the screenshot above has you excited about what's possible!
Another major part of this expansion are the new tanks, which open some really interesting design opportunities. With the underfloor tank, you have flexibility like never before on how guests can view your tanks - but they present their own tricky requirements in terms of allowing staff access.
Likewise, magnifying and raised tanks allow you to make the most of small and rare species, but their tiny capacity makes them inefficient in terms of floor space.
If you're still curious for more details, there'll be a dedicated blog post about all the new tank options in due course as well.
As I mentioned above, I'll be releasing more details about the expansion itself as well as the many improvements and changes coming to the base game, via a series of blog posts over the coming weeks.
To make sure you don't miss a thing, click the 'follow' button under the trailer on the main store page and at the top of my developer page.
I'll also be posting the odd bonus pic or vid to https://x.com/TwiceCircled and the Megaquarium Discord over the coming weeks, if those are services you like to use.
Until then,
Tim Twice Circled
Hello Curators,
There are no major changes in this update, the timing is related to a hotfix, the details of which are below.
I do have an exciting Megaquarium-related thing to share with you guys soon though! Thank you for your parience,
Tim Twice Circled
Security: Upgraded build to Unity 2019.4.41f1 as a security precaution at the request of Unity Technologies. This is a Unity-wide event, nothing specific to Megaquarium. As of writing no users (of any game) have been affected, this is just a precaution.
Bug: Fixed bug where the last tank of DF 1. Cotsbury had to be specifically a Small Abyssal Tank - this is the only tank in vanilla but it caused confusion for a player who had an extra abyssal tank from a mod.
