Helper Bots have received a big upgrade in this update! The MK III Helper Bots have a new silver sheen and can far outperform the MK II’s.
Bots no longer require fuel to run, instead they will drain some gold each minute depending on their state. The Bot’s logic has been improved and they can now pick up 5 items at a time. When restocking they will no longer only try to restock the top item in their inventory, instead they will loop through all items to try to restock them. Finally, when landing on their dock, they will even make sure they are facing in the right direction so as not to spoil the shop’s aesthetics.
Check out the new Bots in action below:
