Can we get some developers that are willing to make very exotic species in megaquarium?
i noticed that were all focusing on everyday exotic species but doesn't get a bit bland sometimes? so
so I'm starting this to see if i can get some mod workshop developers to make some mods featuring:
Devonian species fish(dunkelosteus, eusthenopteron, etc)
More amphibious species(seals, sea lions, gharials,alligators, crocodiles, giant salamanders, etc)
More cartilaginous fish (great white, torpedo ray, blue shark, mako shark, frilled shark, megamouth,sawfish, saw shark, basking shark, thorny skate, etc)
more deep sea stuff with deep sea tanks attached (oarfish, football fish, angler fish species, dragon fish, gulper eel, etc)
more bottom dwellers ( blennys species, batfish species, oceanic catfish species, etc)
cetaceans ( orcas( but no mistreating them like sea world people), dolphins species, blue whale( were gonna need WAY bigger tanks, pilot whales, porpoises, etc ( they are all probably gonna enrichment items, and when say they need it, i mean a lot))
Cephalopods ( giant squid, colossal squid, humbolt squid, blanket octopus, etc)
permian-mesozoic aquatic wild life ( xiphactinus, hybodus, leedsichthys, archelon, henodus, placodus, metriorhynchus, teleosaurus, deinosuchus, sarcosuchus, psephoderma, banagomius, orthacantus, stethacantus, tanystropheus, nothosaurus, etc)
cenozoic aquatic life ( megalodon, basilosaurus, livyatan, acrophyster, odobenacetops, etc)
more crustaceans (giant isopod, yeti crab, deep sea shrimp species, etc)
more freshwater setups, tanks, and aquatic life ( catfish species, bass species, salmon, trout, eels, bichirs, cichlids, goldfish, etc)
More sports fish ( tarpon, sturgeon, paddlefish, kingfish, sailfish, swordfish, marlin, trevallys, more snappers,flying fish, lingcod, spearfish, sheepshead, etc)
more coral reef species (port jacksons shark, ribbon eel, jawfish, pistol shrimps, slipper lobsters, etc)
more open water species (oceanic whitetips, mola mola, sunfish, etc)
That's it for now but i would like to see some mod devs even make a attempt at this list I'm going to leaving to you guys to decide

I can't speak for every dev, but as a general consensus I think most modders are avoiding species not kept in captivity for various reasons, at least for me because it's hard to make stats for something no one has even attempted to keep. Freshwater in particular has been avoided because there is currently nothing separating freshwater fish from saltwater fish, so most modders are waiting till we get some form of official support for freshwater.

there can be extremely possible estimates and i actually interned at the georgia aquarium before so i have the know hows of how things are and i also study biology for a living so i can come up with estimates but im just not that good at coding and my modeling soft ware wont work, i can make the models when i can and all we need are coders so :P

i know the modding community isnt that extensive yet but some mad lad came up with a mermaid
(and that is a great start) :)

Most modders would rather keep it more/less realistic with fish that are proven to be kept in brackish/salt waters in public aquaria.
Extinct animals do not really fit in the current set up (mostly size and the fact that they are dead).
And I mean, there is plenty of fish that we still have not fully covered so thats fun!

I'd love to have some deep sea creatures like goblin shark and anglerfish etc.

devonian fish species would probably fit soooooooooooooooo
#7
Eadragonixius 18 Apr, 2020 @ 12:35pm 
and a leedsichthys is essentially a Bigger armored whale shark that has bones

a tank kinda like the modular tanks in the workshop but comprised of mega tanks would probably work, with staff ports spanning the entire map and capable of conjoining the tank space........

a dunkelosteus is essentially the bigger slower more deadly version of the tiger shark found in the workshop
#10
Eadragonixius 18 Apr, 2020 @ 12:41pm 
and xiphatinus is basically a tooth bigger tuna+barracuda mix from the workshop also

Eadragonixius 18 Apr, 2020 @ 12:42pm 
and as for cetacean estimates we can rely on the osaka aquarium dolphins as our base...

Eadragonixius 18 Apr, 2020 @ 12:45pm 
and if we can get some code divers and help mod a water pressure modulator for the deep sea, midnight zone and twilight zone creatures no problems
#13
Eadragonixius 18 Apr, 2020 @ 12:49pm 
also if possible i would like to make a suggestion: pls make some platforms that dont occupy space beneath the platform if the platform is three stairs or above high???????
#14
Eadragonixius 18 Apr, 2020 @ 12:52pm 
also mod dev who has the model of the saltwater croc can just upload the model they can essentially mold it into all other species of crocodilians, including the extinct variants like purrasaurus, sarcosuchus, deinsuchus metrioryhnchus, dakosaurus, etc
