📢 Astra Bot Updates

We've streamlined the selling process! Instead of using .sellitem <quantity>, you can now simply use .sell <item>, and Astra will prompt you to enter the quantity. Easy and efficient!

Simplified the sell command!
No longer need to type full item names (e.g., .sellitem starfish_fish 1 → .sellitem starfish 1)

Added .sellitem all to sell everything at once

Reduced the amount of money earned from interest

Added a fishing license which is now required for fishing. (Check out the shop!)

Made small adjustments to various commands

Rebranded the bot with a new avatar and banner

🎣 Fishing Overhaul
Fishing has been improved again! You can now catch multiple fish at a time depending on your rod type:
Basic Rod → 1 fish per cast
Advanced Rod → 1-2 fish per cast
Legendary Rod → 1-3 fish per cast
Golden Rod → 2-3 of the same fish per cast

Rods still have a small chance of breaking, but you can repair them with repairrod. Better rods also reduce the chance of catching nothing.

💻 Computer Rework Buff
The computer command has been expanded, allowing for more activities and better rewards based on your level.

💵 New Pay Bill Interaction
Payments now generate unique invoice numbers, have a ‘verification’ process before completion, and use a cleaner embed design.

❓ Help Command Update
Every section in the help command now displays the correct prefix for the server you used it in.
(Still can’t figure it out? Ping me in any server, and I’ll automatically tell you the prefix!)

More soon!!

Business System Updates
The business system is still in testing, but we’ve made it smoother and more accessible.
Added short command aliases for easier usage:
businessdashboard ➡️ bd
businessclaim ➡️ bc
More aliases may come soon—stay tuned!

Bills Added for Businesses
Your businesses now come with bills—because running a business isn’t all fun and games! 🧾
Pay your bills using the new paybills command.
Bills scale with income, but higher earners get a little break. 😉

⚠️ Testing in Progress
The business system is still in testing, so bugs might pop up! If you find any issues, let us know using reportbug.

What's New?
Cooldown Messages Upgraded: Work, beg, search, and fishing commands now have dynamic and fun cooldown messages. Who said waiting couldn’t be entertaining?

Bug Fix:
The Business Suit Heist: Astra was sneakily charging $20,000 for a business suit and leaving you empty-handed. That’s fixed now—your virtual wallet is safe, and you’ll actually get what you pay for. Apologies to everyone who got scammed by the bot (we’re looking at you, unlucky 60k victim).

Other Changes:
Bot Ping Response: Pinging Astra now gives you a helpful reply. It’s like asking your favorite chatbot for directions.

Keep exploring, keep testing, and keep your wallets safe! Thanks for being part of Astra’s journey.
