your next step in building design
Megaquarium is nice and relaxing tycoon game, ideal if you want to relax after a long day.
But the basegame even with expansions can feel a bit limited compared to other tycoon games, especially with customizing your aquarium. Luckily this game is very mod friendly. after many scenery that i have added in the game via mods ranging from coral to tropical palm trees.
This new mod will bring constructing your own buildings to the next level.
This guide will show you what kind of objects there are and how to use them.
so you can experiment and create something like this:
how do i use it?
The building offers many variations of objects, and also from many heights.
There are 2 different heights for walls, 0.45 and 0.60, both will go to max height of 3.60.
3.60 is the height of 2 walls on top of each other.


the side have the 0.45 height and the right side has the 0.60 height, the orginal wall has been carefully cut so paints will work seamless, so the wall will forever look like its 1 big piece.


With this example i added in slanted walls both on top and below and as you can see the paint just match perfectly.

All names of objects offer either for example: 1/8 or 0.45 or 0.00-0.45 (some offer 2) these indicate at with height they will be placed.

Almost all objects are draggable and paintable and can drop down.
the building kit will feature several different walls, roofs.

1 big headsup

due to the cutting i couldn't add in extra stuff to fill the holes of the many objects(this would cause visible horizontal lines which looked very ugly with some paints)
to counter this i have added ''fillers''


here you can see the top(also the bottom of it) without a filler, the filler is at the moment next to the wall, this is to make painting them easier(sometimes the games selects the wall piece instead of the filler)


the result with the fillers.

there also square and triangle fillers, how to use those is explained in this guide:

I will admit, it's a big mod and it can be overwhelming but once you get used to it you can build many amazing things. below are a few examples:







Using a mixture of different mods you can truly create some amazing things.
have fun :)
