Exploring Aquascape: Tools & Upgrades Overview



Hello Aquascapers,

In Aquascape Simulator, gathering essentials like fish, stones, wood, and aquatic plants isn't as simple as using your hands. Our Tools and Upgrade features are here to make this collection process easier and more enjoyable. Let's take a closer look.

Types of Tools & Upgrades


Utilizing only your hands won't suffice for collecting what you need. Instead, you require proper tools to catch fish, gather stones, wood, and aquatic plants. That's where the Tools and Upgrade features come into play, assisting you in their pursuit of these crucial elements.

There are four primary types of tools designed for specific tasks. These tools come in three quality levels – low, medium, and high – offering flexibility and performance. The tool categories are:

Shovel, for picking up stones and driftwood.

Gloves, ideal for delicately handling aquatic plants.

Fishing Net, a valuable tool for capturing elusive fish.

As you embark on your aquascaping journey, you'll receive basic versions of these tools at no cost. While these initial tools provide essential functions, they're best suited for simple tasks. These tools are stored in the greenhouse toolbox and should be equipped before venturing outdoors.

Should you desire more efficient tools, you have the option to upgrade or purchase them at a certain price. With each upgrade level, your tools become more effective and faster in finding and retrieving items, enabling you to tackle more challenging missions.

How to Buy or Upgrade Tools


To acquire new tools, you can make purchases using a PC in the home base. Simply access the Upgrades menu, select the desired tools, and make the purchase. All purchased tools will be automatically sent to the greenhouse toolbox.



Toolbox


The toolbox serves as a storage space for all the tools you own. You can access the toolbox at any time to equip the tool you need. Once equipped, the tool will remain attached, saving you the trouble of repeatedly opening the toolbox during your outdoor explorations.



Thanks to the seamless integration of the Tools & Upgrades feature, you'll find that collecting items in Aquascape Simulator becomes a smoother and more enjoyable process. The satisfaction of coming across the items you're looking for, or stumbling upon new items, adds a personal touch to your journey.

Aquascape Arrangement: Crafting Your Underwater Paradise in Aquascape Simulator



Hello Aquascapers,

Aquascape Simulator offers a captivating opportunity to design and manage your own aquascape with a touch of uniqueness. Players can arrange their aquascapes using items collected during explorations in forest, lake, mangrove, and beach. Before setting up an aquascape, it's essential to determine the desired style. Each style has its own characteristics and techniques, allowing players to choose according to their preferences and abilities.


Aquascape Styles


Selecting an aquascape style involves careful consideration of factors such as aquarium size, fish and aquatic plant choices, and room aesthetics. Some popular aquascape styles include:
  • Iwagumi Style: Emphasizes stone as the main element, focusing on simplicity and balance in the design.
  • Jungle Style: Mimics a dense wilderness, featuring various aquatic plants and diverse wood textures.
  • Mountain Style: Replicates the grandeur of mountains, utilizing large and uniquely shaped stones.


Choosing Items for Aquascape


To create a stunning aquascape, carefully arrange essential elements, including stones, driftwood, aquatic plants, and fish.

  • Hardscape (Stone & Driftwood)
    The hardscape, composed of rocks and driftwood, plays a pivotal role in any aquascape. Each item should be thoughtfully chosen to complement your aquascape's theme, ensuring textures and shapes harmonize perfectly.

  • Aquatic Plant
    The Aquatic Plant is also an important item in aquascape. Aquatic plants not only provide beauty, but can also contribute to the water quality of your aquascape's allure.

  • Fish
    Fish add life and harmony to your aquascape while maintaining the ecosystem's delicate balance. Selecting fish should align with the type of aquatic plants you've incorporated.


Arranging Items According to Aquascape Layout


A well-thought-out layout is the key to a harmonious and balanced aquascape. Pay attention to three essential components:
  • Background: Placed behind the aquarium, the background element, such as a large stone or wood, adds depth to your aquascape. Experiment with different colors and textures for a captivating effect.
  • Middle ground: Placed in the center of the aquarium, the middle ground component, like small stones or vertically positioned sticks, adds a sense of depth and dimension to the aquascape.
  • Foreground: Placed in front of the aquarium, the foreground element, such as aquatic plants or small rocks, creates a captivating visual depth.


Crafting your aquascape's hardscape demands imagination and precision. Pay attention to minute details like color and texture to achieve a breathtaking result.
