  • This block only counts living pets. Fallen pets, including pets who were pregnant when they died, are reserved for the memorial section.

Death Care Watch
19 unresolved remains18 tainted/runoff risk18 aged remains8 neglect incidents
  • Deceased Care reports unresolved bodies, taint/runoff pressure, cleanup relief, and incident follow-up without treating dead pets as living den members.
  • Memorial reporting uses death/remains records so former-owner context survives even when the pet record becomes system-owned.
Fishing + Ecology Watch
0 casts this week0 caught this week1 basins needing care1 predator scent at pools1 stressed waters
  • Fishing Watch now reports shoreline use, catch handling backlog, pool care, predator scent, and ecology-rest signals.
  • The fish art/gallery work stays connected to live catch handling instead of hiding catches as plain inventory text.
Defense + Aftermath Watch
0 active sieges0 open aftermath reports0 assigned keepers
  • Defense Watch now reflects keeper coverage, active raid pressure, wall damage signals, and aftermath closeout work.
  • Perimeter Keeper eligibility still belongs to the battle/defense pages; the newsletter only reports the weekly state.
Stores + Pulse Watch
0 near spoilage1 spoiled stacks14133 active Pulse notices3 resolved this week
  • Stores Watch now knows about spoilage windows, dried stacks, compost readiness, and the active/resolved Pulse lifecycle.
  • Players who hide Pulse for themselves do not erase the colony-wide problem; the newsletter watches the underlying saved notice state.
