Crabbing features
Set it and forget it with a passive crabbing game that rewards patience and lets your community earn while they wait.
Deploy and soak

Store your favourite crustaceans safely in a personal crabitat with !crabitat. Deposit and withdraw at any time.

Configuration
Crabbing settings are managed from the Activities tab of the Discord bot under the Crabbing tab.

Optionally restrict crabbing commands to a single channel. Leave empty to allow crabbing in any channel.
Costs and cooldowns
Set the deploy cost (10 to 500 coins), deploy cooldown (30 minutes to 12 hours), minimum soak time (1 to 24 hours), and maximum soak time (2 to 24 hours).
Pot limits
Configure the base number of active pots each member starts with (1 to 3) and the absolute maximum pot cap (3 to 10).
Upgrade scaling
Set the maximum pot level (up to 100) and the base upgrade cost. Upgrade costs scale exponentially using the formula: base cost × 1.12level × level1.5.
