Editing Rescue notifications

{{Needs work|
* anything that affects the notification other than downtime/VM?

* weight of items in notification group (maybe not important enough?)

* section on auto-rescues (or a separate article?)
** items (lure, battery)

[[File:Rescue notification.png|thumb|right|DM received from from a rescue notification]]
'''Rescue notifications'''<ref group="note">Called '''notifications''' in the online view.</ref> are a number in Zoo profiles. When the rescue cooldown expires and the player has at least one notification, the Zoo bot will DM them a reminder to rescue. Notifications can be obtained in various ways, primarily by using items.

Zoo reminders can be paused with {{sc|settings}}. The terminal command {{cmd|defer}} can be used to disable reminders for the current rescue.

The effect of [[Satellite]] depends on the number of notifications.

==Flavor text==
After receiving 18 notifications, all future notifications use a random humorous message in place of “You're able to rescue another animal!”. There are “like 80”<ref>{{cite Discord|name=Colon|username=colon|channel=zoo-talk|date=2023-07-29|url=//discord.com/channels/461575285364752384/1010033674424684625/1134961528718770317|type=reply to @coolkatter}}<blockquote>'''@coolkatter:''' Backread through my zoo dms and found these messages [Image: List of reminder quotes]<br>I think there may be a few more though<br>'''@colon:''' theres like 80</blockquote></ref> possible messages, chosen from this list:

The clock emoji in reminder messages represents the number of notifications remaining [[wiktionary:modulo|modulo]] 12 (for example, 🕒 when 15 notifications are left).

Notifications received with [[Virtual Machine]] equipped have unique flavor text, and the button reminds the player to rescue with {{sc|terminal}}.

Notifications received while a [[curse of downtime]] is active have and a message that reminds the player of the curse.

When all notifications are used up, the zoo reminder has a message warning the player about it.
