Two Point Museum

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)

Thanks. I just did 3 more surveys to Tide Mountain and got the 2 Bull sharks I needed. I did the pop-up security mission yesterday and got the bronze easily. I wasn't too far off getting the silver. So to get silver/gold, just constantly add security guards as they become available to hire? I did also do the selling stuff on the museum plot. I do that in the normal levels to get some money back but I didn't think it had much effect on the income for the security challenge. I'll give that another go later.
 
TPM is quite a good way to spend a lot of time! I've now got the ability to get 4 stars on each level. the security aspect is quite frustrating. I keep losing stuff and the security guards don't seem to be aware a lot of the time. I think I need to rethink my camera network, security chairs and Security office. Not sure I want to keep hiring security guards as I'm always finding it tough to make a decent profit each month.

I am loving the robo janitors and robo security guards. Think they cost $5k each time, which is more than a standard security guard/janitor but after a few years you've saved on the wages and the moaning they all do!

Update 3 out today. Seems to be fine tuning of minor issues and tweaks.

Changes with ✨ were inspired by the community.


New Content & Features

✨ MIA Memorials
When a staff member goes MIA, the related inbox message will now give you a memorial exhibit that you can place in the museum

The exhibit's Buzz and appearance depends on the rank of the staff member when they went MIA

✨ New Posters
Added Gift Shop poster wall items for each of the six exhibit types. Each type has four cosmetic variants

Added Cafetaria poster wall items, six in total for food items like the Dough Cake, Hog-Logs and Dinosaur Nuggets

✨ Security Improvements
Thieves who have stolen something now carry a backpack and have a different walking animation, making them much easier to see

Thieves who have been revealed but have not stolen something now play more suspicious animations

All Crime Guilds now have their own entry in the sticker book which details their Modus Operandi and additional information

Major Quality of Life Updates
✨ Improved Randomisation
The drop table randomisation system has been overhauled and a new system is being trialled on a selection of POIs

These new POIs are smarter at knowing when you’ve not received an exhibit for a long time and have a better understanding of how to distribute multi-part exhibits versus regular exhibits

We will monitor feedback on these POIs and increase the number of POIs that use the new system over time:
Cold Mines Downtown Wetlantis Greasy Fields Carrion Trail Ginormous Rock Darkest Depths Rib Row Endless Dump

✨ Workshop Project Batching
When building cargo items, you now have the option to build 1, 3, 5 or 10 copies of the item

Each of these copies will be built sequentially, meaning you’ll still get the first copy of the cargo item in the same amount of time as if you were building just one copy

Choosing more than one copy will increase the upfront cost, but cancelling mid-way through will reimburse you for any unbuilt copies

✨ Staff XP Gaining
Increased the amount of XP gained from most jobs Significantly increased the amount of XP gained from capturing criminals

✨ Invalid Items Updates
A major pass has been made on how certain items are calculated to be invalid: you should now see far fewer exclamation marks above walls and items

✨ New Staff Traits
Workhorse - +5% Movement Speed, Energy decays slower

Delightful - Will occasionally entertain guests

Clumsy - Occasionally spontaneously gets an injury

Good Egg - Raises happiness of nearby staff

Bad Egg - Lowers happiness of nearby staff

Theatrical - Gains happiness when working on tours


Other Changes
✨ Introduced a character cap limit which is available in the settings menu. This is recommended for low-end PCs to improve performance

✨ Added a queue indicator to most queue-based items to help signify queue direction and the front of the item

✨ XP rewards from expeditions now show the correct amount of XP in the crate reveal screen

Updated ghosts to be removed from the room when destroyed/repossessed

✨ Fixed Objective navigation on the gamepad, the back button now closes sub-objectives
