modding

Original resource

The original modding wiki was located under http://aquariawiki.ryanballantyne.name but has fallen into disarray. An old snapshot is available on archive.org.

This wiki is an attempt to revive most of the content and update it as necessary. Features that only exist in the open-source version will be marked as such (labelled with OSE).

If you have questions that are not answered here, hop into one of the chat rooms and ask!
