RC216 is now live! This update gives your collection a larger home, brings new shark exhibits to the island, and adds more reasons to explore Sharkswim Bay.

A NEW HOME FOR YOUR MUSEUM
• A new museum upgrade through the curator opens a spacious, two-floor museum on the southeast side of the island.
• Your former museum space becomes extra shop space instead of being removed.
• Explore wider galleries with limestone finishes, fossil and palm impressions, smoother stairs, improved exhibit spacing, and new nighttime lighting.
• The curator now welcomes visitors near the entrance and follows a daily work schedule.
• Choosing “Visit this display” after completing a jaw takes you directly to that exhibit.

LIFE-SIZE SHARK EXHIBITS
• Added the open-mouth Megalodon and Great white comparison display, with clearly matched species labels and measurements.
• Updated the walk-in Megalodon jaw with a textured frame and 20 pristine teeth, combined into one optimized model.
• Improved exhibit supports, signs, and the whale shark display, including its nighttime glow.
• Restored life-size bite cutouts on museum display tables.

SHARKSWIM BAY
• Choose your swimming companion through the Shark Journal. Right-aligned shark silhouettes identify unlocked species with available models.
• Great white and Megalodon swimming models unlock when their museum jaws are completed. The whale shark remains included with the island purchase.
• The dock journal now looks like a bound field journal and opens and closes when used. Confirming a shark closes the journal UI and spawns your selection.
• Added lagoon seafloor lighting for night swims, with dimmer lighting for whale shark encounters.
• Improved the dock sign placement and shark presentation.

WHALE SHARK COLLECTION
• Added the whale shark as a Legendary collectible tooth species, with its own journal entry and improved tooth model and icon.
• Whale shark necklaces use 24 same-quality teeth to represent their tiny size.
• Complete its museum collection to display an enlarged tooth teaching specimen.

A HELPING HAND FOR YOUR SHOP
• Mara now offers a persistent commission once commissions unlock: deliver 10 Fine necklaces from one assigned Uncommon shark species.
• After completing her commission and reaching level 15, you can hire her with no additional coin fee.
• During working hours, she restocks assigned shop displays from your available necklace inventory and continues to shop herself.

FIXES AND POLISH
• Corrected overlapping floor surfaces along the former museum/shop expansion border.
• Improved museum materials, lighting, sign placement, and structural supports.
• Improved the village shoreline route and NPC circulation near Palmwake.
• Optimized the new jaw display and corrected detail-level issues on the large shark models.

Thank you for exploring, collecting, and helping shape Tooth & Tide!
