    If it really gives a chance for extra tiles beyond the limit, this is a definite must buy, all day, every day. When people start threads on what they should buy or save for..... This is it.

    Very easy decision. Get that sheet, yo!

    Since it is in the water and it is a ocean going vessel every once in awhile it should bring up a boatload of donuts if you want my two cents on it

    I mean truthfully the game never states they have to be dry doughnuts to buy stuff so soggy ones should work, after all they did release stale doughnuts a few years back for purchase at reduced cost.

    I just hope that tiles found using this device are tracked separately from the ones that you pay to have made at their respective entrances, because I am nowhere near maxing out the SP tiles that I could've made without it. I don't want to prematurely hit the "You've made the maximum number of tiles" message; I wanna get 'em concurrently from BOTH for as long as possible.

    Only time will tell, I guess. I sprang for it, cuz I love boardwalks. <3

    I just paid how many donuts ? for something I pay $500 to make disappear for 24 hours...Humm..

    Kidding aside, it's pretty cool, kind of wish they would have left a periscope sticking up tho, cuz it REALLY disappears.


    Edit: there's a couple of bubbles...still like the periscope idea...could have made it like the snakes that pop up out of the hollow logs...

    So ..... I am maxed on the Springfield Heights tiles ...

    Is there a limit for squidport brown tiles??? I would like to know how close to the max I am currently.
    Does this submarine generate above the max tiles
    Do we have a list of all the items you an get from it?

    Yes, the limit for Squidport titles is 175 (If I counted correctly)
    I would like to know how close to the max I am currently.

    Yes, it seems to be the only way to go above those limits.

    To me honest I find it to have vey little value to go over the limit for both Squidport titles and Ocean pier tiles since where wouldn't bee that mush space left in the water then you have placed all 250 tiles. (75 Ocean pier + 175 Squidport titles)

    My waters is already extremely overcrowded,
    so this submarine will first really be useful then EA let us buy a column or two more of water

    I'm at my squid port tile limit, I bought the sub and have it submerged. I will let you know if I'm able to get more tiles past the limit.

    This is potentially one of the worst premium items I've seen. It's expensive and gives you a just a chance of obtaining an item that is otherwise craftable? Plus, it's not even a recognizable Simpsons thing!

    Even if you're in love with the squidport/ornate pier, there's a limit on how many tiles you'll need. Are you going to cover all of the water in tiles....just for the sake of it?

    By the power of God, yes. You were given a tile limit so your pier could retain some kind of dignity. Now these unholy ports will grow beyond all reason Kardashian Port style.

    Just bought it, I'm quite worried.

    What is the chance of getting that tile (or whatever you might get)?

    TSTO Addicts is saying it this way
    I’m maxed out in my B game and still got a squidport tile to appear. However, it appeared only once in 15 tries. Whereas the Pier tiles appeared more often, as they are not maxed out in my town.

    Second, it’s not a guaranteed payout each time. I send the submersible down 15 times…in that time I received 1 boardwalk tile, 3 pier tiles and the rest of the time (11) I came up empty. You’ll still earn the $500 for the “mission” but no boardwalk tiles. Kind of frustrating, in my opinion.
    That is 4 tiles in 15 attempts.
    That is vey close to the Rockets 1/4 chance
