The specific instructions are:
- 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)
- v1.5.1: "- Tweaked battery to not show the use button unless you have 3+ notifications"

Rescue notifications[note 1] 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 /settings. The terminal command $ defer can be used to disable reminders for the current rescue.
The effect of Satellite depends on the number of notifications.
Flavor text[edit | edit source]
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”[1] possible messages, chosen from this list:
| Rescue notification flavor text |
|---|

The clock emoji in reminder messages represents the number of notifications remaining 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 /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.
