Aquarium
- Aquarium now unlocks earlier, at Evolution 2.
- You can access the Aquarium from the Bridge, fast travel, or by pressing E.
- New Mastery system: study duplicate normal fish to earn permanent bonuses by species.
- Added Study All, with a confirmation before using many fish.
- Aquarium now shows studied, mastered, and shiny-stored fish totals.
- Aquarium bonuses now affect specific Parrot stats like damage, HP, regen, attack speed, move speed, and skill points.
Fishing
- New fishing currency: Monetaria Moneta.
- Selling fish now gives Moneta, and many fishing upgrades now cost Moneta.
- The HUD badge can switch between Fish Caught and Moneta.
- Safe Sell: it will not sell locked fish, shiny fish, or fish needed for rods, tackle, visible upgrades, or **Aquarium Mastery**.
- Fish inventory now has search, better filters, and better performance with many fish (can search by buff).
- Fishdex has improved filters and shows progress based on the current filter (can search by buff).
- Fish needed for important upgrades or unlocks are now easier to catch.
- Auto Fishing on the Bridge no longer requires a separate upgrade.
- Walking doesn't cancel fishing anymore (but stops current catch).
Note: If you already have all fishing upgrades unlocked, you will probably not need to interact with Moneta currency until the next update.
Sparrow
- Seed Feeder was reworked: choose a percentage of your seed income to auto-feed Sparrow.
- Added Sparrow milestones.
- Milestones give bonuses like more feeding XP, more drained XP, and lower Mitosis/Rebirb requirements.
- Sparrow now keeps progress through evolution by default.
- Sparrow UI panels were cleaned up and aligned better.
(Working on making this UI a little more organized in the future, right know its a little mess, I didn't have enough time :c )
Progression and Balance
- Fishing upgrades were reorganized and rebalanced around Moneta.
- Many fishing upgrades are now permanent through evolutions.
- The old Aquarium unlock upgrade was removed because Aquarium now unlocks from Evolution 2.
- Old Sparrow preservation upgrades were removed because that behavior is now default.
- Several upgrade descriptions were updated to be clearer.
Quality of Life
- Added new tutorials for Sparrow, Fishing, and Aquarium.
- Companion menus now have opacity controls.
- Fish inventory also has opacity controls.
- Improved fonts, tooltips, buttons, and panel visuals.
- Disabled chat now closes properly and no longer captures input.
- Reduced floating-text spam from material chests.
- Improved navigation and interaction in the Nest and Aquarium.
This is the last update before 30/04! (With exception for possible bugfixes, of course)
