Hello,

This is the first part of the bugs that you reported to us and we managed to fix it.
Of course, this is not the end and further bugs will be constantly fixed with subsequent updates.

Amendments:

-We probably found the cause of the error among players playing on Steamdeck (after starting the game, the menu appeared and nothing could be done), we fixed the problem, but to be sure, we would like to ask these players for information whether everything is OK now or whether the error is somewhere else and further occurs

-Fixed a bug that did not allow some players to progress the task of opening a store in the basement for customers, now everything works correctly and for players who had this problem the game will automatically fix itself

-An option has been added to the game for players who need more time to prepare their locations for opening. From a certain point in the game, it is possible to choose the opening time, so you can easily complete everything you planned and create your dream aquariums.

-Fixed a bug that when days passed in other locations, individual fish species in aquariums multiplied greatly, while others did not breed at all. Now everything is done evenly and correctly

-The bone cleaning machine is visible earlier and shows the progress required to unlock it

-The aquarium inspection list now sorts fish and displays all fish of the same species next to each other and arranged according to their price

-Fixed a bug that when Pause was pressed, the fish continued to eat food and could all die if the player was absent for a longer period of time

-Fixed a bug where a sea explorer box with fish could accidentally push the player out of the level

-Fixed an issue where moss applied to the bottom of a large aquarium in an exhibition was not working properly and was sometimes no longer visible

-It's no longer possible to get stuck in a museum between pallets and a cleaning machine

-Fixed that rewards for taking photos of items in the underwater Egyptian level sometimes appeared in the wrong places

-Improved water pouring particle at the aquarium exhibition

-Fixed a situation where the player dropped the shark food on the platform above the tank, which prevented it from being picked up again, now everything works fine

-Fixed an issue with bubble particles disappearing from the filter, items on shelves and plants in pots disappearing from view when viewed through aquariums at certain angles

-Minor UI fixes

Hello, dear Aquarists!😌
Did you know that the word “astronaut” literally means “star sailor”? 💫 No wonder it also arrived at the Aquarist port 😃 In this update, we have a topic which is out of this world! 🪐
What have we added?

• A completely new task for the client in which we will have to help create a truly cosmic 🚀🚀🚀 aquarium in difficult conditions. New fish and decorations, 🐟 no gravity on the space station 🤯 and a high reward 💰 for completing the mission! All this is waiting for you on a completely new level!
• Added the ability to "enter into your fish",🔍 thanks to which we can see the world through their eyes, and collect food, gaining levels to make our fish become an even bigger specimen. 🐡🐡🐡
  
• Fully added blackwater aquariums mechanism. Now individual fish have icons that indicate they can live in blackwater 🖤, and the water can be changed in most freshwater tanks. Remember that not every fish is suitable for this environment!
• 4 new achievements added 🆙🆙🆙🆙 available in the game 💪

What did we fix?

• fixed a bug where removing soil from the aquarium did not count and you could not continue the game. If you had this error, it will fix itself when you launch the game
  
• fixed blocker in the client task in the TV studio, which caused that when the player saved and loaded the game, he could not throw fish into the TV-shaped aquarium
  
• fixed a bug that allowed you to change locations while holding aquariums in your hand, which caused aquariums to get stuck in the air
  
• fixed a bug where in some aquariums it was possible to hang the filter and heater above the aquarium in the air
  
• fixed a bug in the museum that blocked access to quests when the player confused the order of actions
  
• fixed a bug with incorrect UI when filling the soil at the beginning of the game near the first aquarium
  
• fixed the bug of hair disappearing at the beginning of the game
  
• fixed with blackwater bag visibility
  
• alert visibility bug fixed
  
• fixed a bug with the physics of items in water
  
• fixed bug when pouring water from the aquarium
  
• fixed a bug that caused access to the cave in the oceanarium to be blocked for most of the game, now players can access it much earlier
• improved the display of quests in the cave in the oceanarium
  
• fixed disappearing clock
  
• minor UI fixes
