Summary0013199: Cave lobsters are not possible to catch
DescriptionCave lobsters have the token [VERMIN_NOFISH] in their raws, which means it is not possible to catch them with "Fish" or "Catch Live Fish" jobs - instead, players are expected to use baited animal traps to catch them. However, animal traps placed above water are only capable of catching fish with POOL_*/RIVER_* biomes (which are not present on cave lobsters, which use SUBTERRANEAN_WATER instead), and ones placed on the ground can only catch vermin with [VERMIN_EATER] or [VERMIN_GROUNDER] (which aren't present on cave lobsters either).

The last version in which cave lobsters were actually catchable appears to have been version 0.23.130.23a.

Patching the animal trap code to check for the SUBTERRANEAN_WATER biome in addition to the various POOL_* biomes seems to fix it, though it's possible that might have other side effects I'm not aware of.
