So that is the purpose of lobsters and fishingnets? People spending diamonds hiring Tom?

I think I'm gonna casst off lobstersoupe and fishpizza boats as well as sugar and dairyboats. (Why are you hiring Tom for lobsters? Or do you that too for sugar and dairy?)

why is it that my last 3 boats have all asked for some kind of lobster item??? JEEZ

Sigh.

Join the club, Besta. I did exactly the same yesterday. Caught my 2nd lobster & threw him in, then noticed it only contains two. Decided to upgrade ready for next catch. I think it would be virtually impossible not to upgrade the pot while it's empty though, considering how long the wait times for everything are. I have nets/pots cast all the time, so it will always have lobsters in it.

I wondered about that and think I may have to upgrade overnight.

OK, so when you upgrade your pool (that means make it bigger so you can put more lobsters in it), we have to be sure that it is empty or we don't get our lobsters out?

This is too much...

Hi pooh. This lobster thing is a pain, not worth it (yet) in my opinion. I bailed the cuties out then decided to upgrade one more space. So now I have pots and nets out fishing is a no go for a bit. Oh well. Back to making chili popcorn. LOL

Am I way off base for thinking that the Mystery Net is awfully similar to the Mystery Box and WOF? The WOF is free and the Mystery Box costs gift cards. The net costs 5 diamonds to start production, 6 hours to produce, 21 hours to make a catch, and the mystery prize after 5 diamonds and 27 hours is.................fish.


hahahahahaha....oh my, the tears. At least you got a plank, so that's good, and we now have 3 ways to get something special. At least the net doesn't give topiaries....I hope. Kelp seahorse topiary anyone? :p

Now that I know it takes a long time for the lobster pool upgrade, I might do it now since I have Tom for another three days and he can go out and get me lobster tails, at a really good price too!

i get Tom for various reasons. #1 reason is I'm addicted to how useful he is, especially for completing BOs during the special boat event. That's the best time to get him, IMO.

One last thing... How cute are those little guys swimming around in that pool? ADORABLE! And then they come sliding down that slide... So cute!

IRL I get depressed whenever I go by a tank of lobsters. And I do not eat lobster...not a seafood lover. Can't stand it actually.

Can someone tell me what happens if I hit that little green arrow with the yellow + sign on it? Methinks it might involve losing diamonds?!

It'll ask you if you want to upgrade the pool to hold more lobster. I think the price is 45,000 coin for one more spot.

xandrasky, if I were you I'd send tom to the lobster soup right away instead of the lobster. save the soup maker for tomato soup.

my lobster tank only holds one lobster and it looks like it takes 45000 coins AND a lobster to upgrade it. maybe I'm wrong but thats what it looks like when i press on that green arrow with the yellow plus sign. so whoever it was who was worrying about trapping your lobster, I'd be more worried that he would be gone when it finishes.

And my free master net gave me three fish which did turn into filets, and 1 panel for my silo. When they said i wouldn't be sorry spending diamonds for the master net, they were wrong. Fish are free if caught with lures and its not that hard to get a silo piece through wheating. I'm not making any more master nets. Probably not making more regular nets either. It doesn't take that long to catch 3-4 fish. Seems like someone wasn't thinking very well when they came up with those times. i think net times are more ridiculous than the lobster times which are a bit much too.
