New Building

An aquarium – a place to display your collected ornamental fish, which will swim freely inside. You can also plant red algae at the bottom.

The aquarium is made up of three parts:

  • Base

  • Extension Section (Aquarium)

  • Entrance Gate

Players can freely enter and exit the aquarium through the gate (the aquarium is equipped with advanced oxygen supply technology, so there’s no need to worry about oxygen).

There is a control panel on the front of the aquarium that can be interacted with to open the aquarium interface.

Once opened, you can transfer ornamental fish from your backpack into the aquarium.

Of course, ornamental fish are still fish… so you can grill and eat them too.

New Ornamental Fish

We've added a total of 30 new types of ornamental fish, scattered across various locations on the map — for example, near the mansion close to Drifter's Island.

How to Catch Ornamental Fish? These little fish aren’t very fast — just get close and catch them with your hands!

It’s worth noting that there is one special fish: the Discus Fish. These color-mutated Discus Fish cannot be found in the wild — they can only be obtained by trading a juvenile Discus Fish with the Contract Merchant.

Other Optimizations

System Changes

  • Added specific HDRP assets (render quality profiles) for the three quality levels: High, Medium, and Low. You can select them in the game settings.

  • Helicopters can now be pushed.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed issues where graphic settings, network information, and tutorial toggles could not be saved or loaded.

  • Fixed certain graphics settings not applying properly.

  • Fixed an issue where selecting a graphics quality preset would reset the field of view (FOV).

  • Fixed an issue where items could not be added to the wishlist or displayed incorrectly.

  • Fixed a bug where adding items to the wishlist would cause them to be automatically hidden.

  • Chainsaw can now be used underwater.

  • Fixed an issue where certain guns could not be crafted due to their model being unselectable on the gun bench.

  • Fixed a problem where some triangular structures could not be rotated during construction.

  • Fixed an issue where ships would continue to rotate or drift after stopping.

  • Fixed a bug where pressing a shortcut key (e.g., \ for build menu) while naming a ship would open the corresponding UI.

    • Ships can no longer be pushed while they are running.

    • Removed collision damage from the player’s own ships and aircraft.

    • Fixed an issue where base defense equipment (e.g., explosive crossbows) could not be reloaded.

    • Fixed a bug where coastal defense weapons remained even after the message “enemy has escaped” was displayed.

    • Fixed an issue where enemy ships would still spawn inside an outpost even after it was captured.
