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)
