The 3 aquarims with 115 buzz is to unlock Gulfweed Cove. I thought I needed to open new survey areas to get new fish but if I can send people back to already surveyed areas (which I didn't know you could) I'll try that out.
just get the bull sharks from Tide mountain.
I literally caught 2 more last night and got the 4/4 pescatarian.
after to get the curators star you need to do the pop up security mission.
its so simple its almost stupid.
It's a fully setup museum, you just need to spam hire security guards and collect donations until the days tick down and its done.
You can sell the trres and stuff on the museum plot, just mouse ove and hit the DEL key to sell them, then you can hire security guards faster, instead of waiting for donations to start coming in.
you get new museums when u hit curator 3
heres the survey level on already discovered explore plots I was talking about
the survey level defines the max item quality you can retrieve.
Pristine versions at level 3 have higher buzz by default, so its worth repeating them.
they also have more perk slots.
you need extra exhibits to research anyway, that's how you get perks you can add to your statues, and how you unlock knowledge of exhibits so that your guests learn more. (professors etc donate based on knowledge instead of buzz)
