The game’s latest confounding issue comes in a deluge of high-level farming bots that are stripping the natural world bare and sending resource prices plummeting.

From the official New World forums to the game’s subreddit, numerous players are complaining about bots endlessly mining for supplies like some sort of mindless colonizers.

This includes things like fish, with some bots apparently camping hotspots in Restless for weeks.

Meanwhile, other bots are apparently farming azoth water, leather, and other materials, which players report is tanking the prices of in-game resources and causing significant disruptions to New World’s economy.

In the video below, KK Plays Live noticed a few bots farming one area for days.
