Mod help needed

Hello everyone :)

I'm currently building mod for megaquarium after having finished the game. I'm working on two types of mod, currently :
- a mod that enlock a weeker feeder, sooner in the game
- a mod that add more secondary objective, with more reward than the classic gold you have when you play outside the campain.

I encounter two types of problems :
- The first one is for the feeder. I can't found the place where the prize come from so I can't change it :/
- The second one, with quests, is that there is only one secondary quest in the data, rewarding gold, so I have no idea how to :
* change the type of reward (I may try random "key" world but if I can have the answer...)
* create more "large" condition of complete it (like "put 12 shark in a tank" where the player can choose whenever sharks he wants, even in different specy). I may found the solution but if someone have the answer... :D
* can I put ingame condition to unlock a secondary mission ? (level, etc) how ?

Sorry for my english, I'm not native :)

Hey Teneombre.

For the feeder: take a look at the 'Large Autofeeder' mod. Hopefully that will show you how to go about things.

For the secondary objectives: The objective generation for sandbox is currently hard-coded. However you could look at creating your own custom maps with custom objectives. There are a couple of example ones which should help you get started here:

I will take a look and see if I can open up the sandbox objectives to modders at some point, but I have quite a lot of other things on my to-do list at the moment that must take priority. :)

Hope that helps, and good luck with your mods! :)

PS I've moved this topic to the dedicated workshop forums.

Thanks for your answer ! Unfortunnatly, the workshop of megaquarium don't allow external website to download item, forbidding the gog community to acced them :/ Can you change that ? (I resolve the problems I had thanks to the discord community :))

Hey Teneombre, I'm afraid I have no control over that. :(

They said it's something the dev have to specify but I understand. Can we imagine a Google drive link with your mods' example like you did with the nurse shark ? I will found an other solution for the other mod on the workshop :) thanks for your great job anyway !
