New DLC!
[p]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.[/p][dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/4307900/Megaquarium_Invertebrilliant_Collection/"][/dynamiclink]Free update
[p]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![/p][p]In part one, we'll look at UI improvements, while gameplay changes will be left for part two.[/p]Finding what you need
[p]The message log will have extra buttons allowing you to filter messages to one of the following:[/p]- [p]Objectives[/p][/*]
- [p]Trades[/p][/*]
- [p]Merchants[/p][/*]
- [p]Messages with objects enclosed[/p][/*]
- [p]Animals (grow up, breeding, death etc.)[/p][/*]
- [p]Staff level-ups[/p][/*]
Picking up where you left off
[p]The build menu will remember its vertical position when you return to it, so it's easier to pick up where you left off.[/p][p]This really helps when you're switching between placing animals, aquascaping and equipment while building a brand new tank.[/p]Tank capacity icon
[p]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![/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/31013793/be2b02cdef88d4ea7e6bf576ec15b36999c2fdc4.png"][/img][/p]Improved search
[p]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.[/p][p]Even more useful, you will be able to put "!" in front of any search term to negate it (borrowed from the programming principle).[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/31013793/05ef2339c1982a752e91051121636da6f3359d62.png"][/img][/p][p]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.[/p][p]The "!"symbol will work with all search terms. I'm looking forward to seeing what players will do with this powerful new tool.[/p]Just a few weeks to go
[p]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. [/p]More to come
