Hey all, the Megaquarium Workshop has now entered public beta. This means it is open for everyone to use but is currently operating via an opt-in mechanism.
Me want fish! How do I join?
To join the beta you need to join this community group: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/megaquariumworkshopbeta
And follow the instructions from there.
Look at all the exciting things that are already available for you to download:
Why beta?
Firstly it will give modders a chance to get used to the workshop and upload their creations before the full public launch. By the time the public launch comes it should be nicely stocked with all manner of things to play with!
Secondly it gives everyone, modders and players alike, a chance to give feedback on features, request new ones and report bugs.
With that in mind, please take extra care using mods during the beta period. I recommend that you manually save any existing games before applying mods in case they break the game.
Another note: the new mod manager in-game is in English only currently. When the full launch comes it will be localised into your local language.
How long will the beta last?
This depends on the volume of feedback/requests that come back. Somewhere between 2 and 6 weeks is probable.
