🐠 UTILITY UPDATE! 🐟⏲️

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]Hello, dear Aquarists!😌🐠[/h2]

[h3]The new Aquarist update is HERE🔥[/h3]

🔹 The long-awaited feature of placing plants in other decorations has been added. Yes, now you can set, for example, a stone as static and attach a plant to it. All plants now have the option of being attached to other objects that are set as static/placed in the substrate/placed in the aquarium background. Even more possibilities for your creativity!

🔹 The ability to stop time has been added! Many players have requested this feature. Now, when there is a lot going on, you can stop time at any moment and calmly take care of whatever you want (remember that the fish will not need food, they will not die, but they will also not reproduce or grow)

🔹 When shopping, you can add items to your favourites, which will make them easier to find later. There is also a new tab in the shop that displays all your favourite items

🔹 You can put universal pH on the tool shelf

🔹 Minor UI fixes


[h2] 🛍️ We have prepared an update to the Supermarket shop DLC too: 🏪
[/h2]

🔹A new panel has been added to the management tablet, featuring a bank section where you can take out a loan that you will repay in instalments. This may make it easier to get started, but you always have to be careful with banks!

🔹 It used to happen that the restocker would put empty boxes in the restock room, taking up space. After loading the game, this will fix itself and empty boxes will always end up in the bin.

🔹 Fixed a bug where it was not possible to open shells with pearls in this location.

🔹 Fixed so that customers and employees will no longer move free-standing decorations while walking (meaning they will no longer be pushed into cabinets from where they could not be removed!)

🔹 Restockers carrying boxes will no longer push the player while walking

🔹 Small restocker fixes

Hotfix 3

Hotfix 3:

- Fixed a bug where some players couldn't see 3 fish species (Bream, Mutton Snapper, and Long Spine Porcupinefish) in the shop in Laboratory. (To fix it please enter the Oceanarium location, and after returning to the Laboratory, the fish will be available!), which prevented them from completing the Laboratory DLC. This issue is now resolved. We sincerely apologize for this bug!

- Fixed an issue where some laboratory fish was packed incorrectly when placed into packing machine in the Supermarket DLC. This now works correctly.
