Bot Behavior
Bots keep markets active and create predictable-but-useful pressure patterns.
Bot Types (Difficulty Profiles)
Section titled “Bot Types (Difficulty Profiles)”| Difficulty | Sell Threshold | Travel Interval | Snitch Chance/Turn | Buy Logic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | > 1.20x base | Every 3 days | 20% | Buys cheapest goods |
| Medium | > 1.10x base | Every 2–3 days | 15% | Buys best margin goods |
| Hard | > 1.05x base | Every 1–2 days | 10% | Buys best margin goods |
Core Bot Turn Order
Section titled “Core Bot Turn Order”Bots execute logic in a sequence:
- Sell phase
- Day 29+: liquidate all inventory
- Otherwise sell goods above threshold
- Travel phase
- Travel on difficulty-dependent cadence
- Prefer less crowded bot destinations
- Medium/Hard also prefer better discounts
- Buy phase
- Easy: cheapest goods
- Medium/Hard: best undervaluation vs base price
- Snitch phase
- Only if enough energy reserve remains
Shared Rules Bots Follow
Section titled “Shared Rules Bots Follow”- Pay travel cash and energy like humans
- Can trigger travel events (CANU, Scrape, Flood)
- Respect inventory/cash constraints
- Can’t snitch on bots (targets humans)
Snitch Behavior
Section titled “Snitch Behavior”Bots can snitch on human players in the same location.
Snitch outcomes:
- Target risk modifier increases by +0.15 (capped)
- Bot spends 4 energy
- Target receives warning notification
Practical Counter-Strategies
Section titled “Practical Counter-Strategies”1) Exploit predictable liquidation
Section titled “1) Exploit predictable liquidation”Bots dump inventory late game (day 29+). Track likely cash-rich bots and plan PvP timing accordingly.
2) Use crowd intelligence
Section titled “2) Use crowd intelligence”Bots spread to less bot-dense zones. Sudden bot concentration shifts can signal where value opportunities are forming.
3) Avoid free snitch value
Section titled “3) Avoid free snitch value”If multiple bots share your location, travel out before ending your action cycle when possible.
4) Front-run threshold selling
Section titled “4) Front-run threshold selling”Bots sell based on static threshold multipliers. If you see a price edge first, you can often exit before bot supply pressures price down.
5) Pressure easy bots economically
Section titled “5) Pressure easy bots economically”Easy bots over-prioritize cheapest goods; this can make their inventories predictable and potentially exploitable.
What Bots Are Good For
Section titled “What Bots Are Good For”- Keeping market liquidity active in low-player lobbies
- Creating additional event and price movement noise
- Supplying consistent learning targets for route and PvP practice
