Seems that bots are not using the markets :/

They are working ok, just the programming changed. I believe they are programmed to put goods on at around the average price, rather then mostly random now.

hmm

There's a bug where the bots can stop if one of them gets the 20 A bonus at the wrong time. As far as I can tell this was always possible even with the old bot code. I plan to fix it soon.

They have several different pricing algorithms that can be used: average, max, current, etc.

The range at which they are posting stuff seems more linear then previous. It could also be the lower quantity of bots is changing the way the market is flowing. Stuff is being bought and sold, so none of the symptoms of the mass amounts of bots being broken are apparent however.

Bots are broken now, I think they went down late last night.

how do you know when they are down ?

They stop buying stuff as soon as they go down, but players still buy stuff, so that is a bit harder to tell. You can definitively tell when all sales to the market stop, but since it takes 3-5 hours for stuff to hit the market, you cant really tell until the 6 hour mark ish from that.

looks like you are correct, silly bots

Should be running now.
