Flexible Tanks - Base Game

Description
!!! Incompatible with the Campaigns !!!

Did you ever find the base game tanks too limiting? Too small or perhaps not small enough? Then the Flexible Tanks mod is for you!


To clarify what the Flexible Tank - Base Game mod actually does, this mod;
  • DOES try to increase all maximum base game tank sizes! (to a reasonable degree)
  • DOES try to decrease all minimum base game tank sizes!
  • DOES remove some decoration placement restrictions!
  • DOES NOT add new tanks, it modifies the ones already in the game.
  • DOES NOT allow for more fish in the same sized tanks.
  • DOES NOT provide any cheats/unbalanced features.


For those who want more details on what this mod does exactly, here's a handy table on tank sizes:

Other minor changes;
  • Allowed deco in Kreisel Tank, if you want the tank to have a sand floor however you need another mod named 'Sand for Kreisel', not having deco in the Kreisel Tank does not incur a prestige penalty.
  • Allowed deco in all corners of rounded tanks, it's on you to find deco items that don't clip outside the tank however.
  • Allowed deco under the small tunnel in the Small Tunnel tank, again it's on you to find deco items that don't clip.

Ill try to search if it was an incompatibility, but so far I have fixed it. It seems this mod actually benefits from being higher up(later) in load order, compared to other mods.

Most likely another mod that's overwriting deep tanks? Try moving this mod to the top of your load order.

It seems like the deep tanks dont seem to be working for me? They are still their normal sizes.
Azurian  [author] 22 Nov, 2023 @ 11:25am 
I've looked into it for about an hour now, and it seems that changing the minimum size of tanks causes a hard incompitability with campaigns. I'm not convinced this is actually fixable?

For some silly reason, the campaign data IDs for tanks are tank ID+minimum size, so for the deep wall tank its 'wall_1side_deep_3_3`.
I'm not sure why they're even tagged with the minimum size as it functions perfectly well without adding that info, this also means that every single level is broken in a myriad of ways, as for example things you should start with won't ever be unlocked in said levels.

Overwriting the base campaign files isn't possible either, at best I could provide a fixed copy of the base campaign, but that comes with its own heap of problems + it'd require me to go through every campaign data file with a fine toothed comb, and I'm not sure if that's worth the massive time investment?

Thanks for the bug report though, even if it's provided me with a massive headache! :)

Really good mod, but be aware that for some reason it bugs the "research deep wall tank" objective in the campaign, no issue for sandbox tho
Azurian  [author] 21 Nov, 2023 @ 1:01pm 
woops, I used that to mark the 'bottom' and 'top' pieces initially when figuring out coordinates, thanks for the report, fixed now :)

Awesome news! I did want to also report that the maximum size for the Large Tunnel Tank has some blank spots https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/334862477940490250/1176558404265836554/Megaquarium_2023-11-20_9_07_14_PM.png
Azurian  [author] 20 Nov, 2023 @ 10:49pm 
Yes! It's mostly done already actually, there's just a few stubborn tanks that I still need to look at and fix up :)

They'll probably be made available by today or tomorrow!

Will there be plans to updated tanks from Freshwater Frenzy and Deep Freeze in similar ways?
