Configuration

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

Crabbing channel

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.
