[h1]Content additions:
[/h1]
[h2]Vortex Solstice (event)
[/h2]This returns Jellyfish to the enemy pool. Occasionally, the dimensional vortex will open near the system you're in. You'll be treated to a few waves of jellyfish - look out! As some of the endgame jellyfish types are introduced, this event will also scale difficulty-wise in the green space systems.
[h2]New Bosses
[/h2]
[h3]-Dragonfish
[/h3] The dragonfish is a fast brawler with deadly-accurate projectiles. Stay on the move and carefully learn the lunge/projectile patterns!
[h3]-Anemone
[/h3] Anemone is a distant cousin of the Fire Coral - but much bigger and faster! Move in circles to avoid the tracking projectiles and keep your distance from the Clownfish minions.
[h3]-Cephalopodae
[/h3] I'll leave this one a surprise - but this boss battle has a fun twist :)
These bosses each come with their own accessory, and a 'nucleus' boss drop. In the future, this drop will be used to craft endgame weapons.
[h2]New Structures
[/h2][h3]Repair beacon[/h3]
This item can be crafted with green printer filament, and allows you to automatically repair peaceful transmitters, turrets, and other structures nearby. It'll also finish planting any crops you place down!
[h3]Auto-harvester
[/h3]This item can be powered and will harvest any mature plant in a 5-block radius.
[h2]Progress on animal rework
[/h2]Hummingbugs are elusive animals that can be found on jungle skylands. They'll attack you if you bother them, so watch out! Use a birdabug smoker to apply Pacified to them.
Bumblebirds can also be smoked to prevent aggression.
[h2]New Accessories:
[/h2]
-[i]Verdant and Umber Chains[/i] are now made by combining two different resin charm colors. Amber heart now uses verdant and umber chains.
-[i]Linked Bands[/i] can be made by combining star anklets and rainbow anklets. This item now serves as the ingredient in the infinite band, instead of its component parts.
-[i]Conjoined Tentacles[/i] can be created by combining the drops from the Cephelapodae boss
-[i]Corrupted Mercy[/i] can be made by combining all of the t3 boss drops - this is a very powerful shield that applies Critical Exposure to everything nearby when broken - but it only regenerates when you're at low health!

-Rainbow and invasions will now attempt to spawn as near as possible to players
-Bumblebirds are slightly more aggressive when their nest is attacked
