Crab Pots?
How are the crab pots supposed to work? I've set them up in shallow water, and they haven't caught anything for multiple in-game weeks.

You must bait them with raw meat! I had this issue too.

shallow water needs to be 2 levels deep. the crab pot needs to have a slightly floating animation.

ive used them for a few days but found the meat almost more valuable than the loot the crab pots provide lol.

Exactly, two tiles deep in water. Make sure it is baited with meat. It will take 1 day to catch something. Also, what you catch depends on where you set up the crab pot. Try different bodies of water.

I have been using them for a little while just to see what I got. Was really surprised today to pull an old key out of one set in the ocean! Good to know that you can use any meat item.

I have a farm of 12 built where a river used to be. Those 12 are averaging 5 keys per day. However now I have to farm meet to supply them.

I have a farm of 85 Crab Pots. Getting enough meat to fill them is the biggest problem. But I can get around 35-45 keys a day from them.

Ah they changed them from 1 to 2 deep! That's why I couldn't figure out why they were no longer working after not playing for a while. Thanks!

Wow, they REALLY need to drop a hint about baiting the traps. I had no idea about this until I looked online, and I just assumed crab pots were either broken or hadn't been implemented yet
