Adding Crabs and Lobsters

  • Ahoy Mates!
    The other day I was swimming about some of the Coral reefs that surround the islands...

    And I noticed that aside from the odd Trinkets you find and the now removed Mermaid Statues (R.I.P) there isn't that much going on around the reefs.

    So I had the brilliant idea of adding Crabs and Lobsters as catchable Merchant Animals to the Reefs!

    Alright now, essentially what I'm saying here is:
    Add Crabs and Lobsters hustling around the reefs just like how Pigs and Chickens move about on the islands.


    Let's get into the Guts of how this idea would work shall we mates?

    • So now when you activate a Merchant Alliance Voyage they'd ask you to pick up a few Lobster & Crabs along with the other usual animals.

    • You'd have to pick up the Lobster & Crabs' special Cages from the Merchant aswell.

    • This pretty much goes without saying but there would have to be different variations of the Lobster & Crabs' like the Pigs🐖, Chickens🐓 and Snakes🐍.

      (Rare already has the different variations of the crab all figured out)

    • Also the Crab and Lobster would have to play differently from one another kinda like how Snakes bite and Pigs need to be fed.
      What I'd do is make Lobsters need to be in water, so you'd have to water in your lower deck for them to survive in.
      And as for Crabs, they could just be unneedy and not have any special wants/hazards like chickens.

    • The End.


    Anyways mates, I think this idea would really expand the reefs and make people have more of a reason to visit em.
    Not mention it'd make shark encounters more frequent.

    Well, let me know what ya think of this idea!
    Until then see ya on the seas!

  • This is incredibly detailed, almost terrifyingly so. I love it. Ties in well with the recent crab related content, and gives players more incentive to go in that detailed underwater world that Rare's made.
    They better be worth a lot though, scavenging around for chickens, pigs, and snakes is hard enough and ain't worth the gold ya get for 'em.

  • @nefnoj thanks mate, I think Rare will add something like this eventually, cuz they wouldn't make all those reefs without having something in mind for the future.
