- What is your character name in New World: undefined42
- What server/world did you experience your issue on: Iardanes
- Describe the issue you are experiencing: Advanced mining bots
- Is this a bug or an exploit: Exploit / bots
There is a very sophisticated mining bot on my server. It is a well-known bot named ujhgh . I made a video following it on its path here New World Sophisticated Farming Bot - YouTube . In the video you can see how advanced it is. The bot can do the following (perhaps more).
- Store items in the storage unit
- Sell items in the trading post
- Run along a set path to various iron veins
- Try to mine each vein (whether or not it is there) and move on if it fails to mine the vein.
- Abandon the vein if being attacked and continue to the next one.
In the video, I mess with the bot a little to show it is not a real player if it wasn’t obvious by it’s robotic pathing. This is how the coin sellers are making coin. I am sure there are dozens of these on every server, probably more on the more populated servers. I know dozens of people on my server have reported it going back a few weeks and nothing is being done about it.
I will admit, as a developer myself, I am very impressed with the complexity of the bot and admire the developer who built it. But I still think it needs to be banned from the game.
