[h3]Happy New Year everybody![/h3]
I'm happy to share the first experimental update of the year!
[b]v0.73.0[/b] is released on the [b]experimental branch[/b] for testing.
[h1]Clownfish Breeding[/h1]
These underwater friends help you deliver resources underwater, and have different rarities, similar to baby seagulls.

Spycam allows you to see incoming settlers' traits, and the strongest research even has a chance to have them arrive with Level 3 traits. I added the spycam research as a Quality of Life upgrade initially as people have found it difficult to decide whether to bring someone onboard. What trait does this settler have? Should I recruit or send them away to starve at sea?
Thus, I added [i]spycam[/i]. But I also took it further and added research to even improve odds of better traits!
[i]
Great Barrier Reef[/i] upgrades improve clownfish efficiency - increasing their swim speed, breeding speed and even improving corals' quality that lead to better chance of higher rarity clownfish!
