Config
There is a config.json located in the “[SMAPI] Stardew Aquarium” folder. Here you can turn off the “recatchable legendary fish” feature. The first legendary fish of it’s type will sell for it’s full price, after that the rest will sell for 0. If you have the Recatch Legendary Fish mod this feature is automatically disabled and will use that mod’s settings instead.
You can also change the price of the train ticket in the TrainStops.json located in the [TrainStops] Stardew Aquarium folder. Simply change the “Cost”: x, to however many G you want the ticket to cost.
FAQ
How do I get to the Aquarium?
You get there by train, thanks to the Train Station framework mod. Go to the left side of the train station and click the ticket machine. A ticket costs 20 G.
How do I donate fish?
Click the counter in front of the curator NPC while having an un-donated fish in your inventory. You can click the book on the left of the counter to see the collection menu.
What if I have sold/lost a legendary fish?
This mod will make legendary fish recatchable until donated. Their sell price after the 1st catch will however be 0 (To avoid exploit). If you have the Recatch Legendary Fish mod installed this feature will be disabled and use said mod instead.
Does this work on multiplayer?
Yes.
Does this work on Android?
Yes. The normal donation menu however doesn’t work on Android, so it is replaced with a repurposed shop menu. For each fish you can donate, it’ll look like you are “Purchasing” that fish for 0 G (See media for example) . This may be improved in the future.
Is this mod compatible with other mods?
Yes, we designed the mod to be compatible with as many mods as possible.
What about modded fish?
If you have mods that adds more fish to the game, you can donate them to the aquarium. They will also be included in the achievement for donating all the fish. However, there is a limited number of modded fish with visible tanks
Bugs
Currently there is a known bug where exiting to title causes all rotated tiles to go back to their original state, making maps look very strange, so if you’re going to play on another farm or resetting the day, you should instead restart the entire game. This is a bug with TMXL and rotated tiles, there is unfortunately nothing we can do on our end.
You can post bug reports in the “Bugs” section on this page, please remember to add a SMAPI log to the report.
