Hello everyone, welcome back to Ramadhanight's Hive Blog. It's been more than a month since I post about moonkarts, and now I'm back to spread a great news about this game !

Matchmaking System on Moonkarts

Okay, let's talk about the previous condition. If you a moonkart players or ever try the game, you might find the uncomfortable condition when nobody there lining up for a race with you. It could take more than 5 minutes (some even give screenshot with more than 10 minutes - despite there might be an error when matchmaking which cause them never met someone even when there is other people race). This has demotivating some gamer to play, because they might waste their time. This also became a reason for some exploitation of the game, when people race with their own, just extracting the rewards, and no liquidity become the reason.

Liquidity Bots Came to Save the Game !

Just like what Splinterlands did, moonkarts now also release the Liquidity Bots for players who want to race but not found others to playing with. With liqudity bots, no more players that need to wait more than 30s just to find an opponent. This could save lots of time !

Here is some information about the liquidity bots that I gathered from the Discord Channel :

#1. There is 3 difficulty levels across all maps with 12 total bots: 5 Easy, 4 Medium, 3 Hard. The spawn probability follows these ratio

#2. If only 1 player is in a room, bots can join randomly within 20 seconds (and since 2 players are minimum for a race, you can go race with the bots). Bots will visible in matchmaking and the player ready screen.

#3.If more players join after bots, they stay and race alongside. Create better atmosphere with more kart on the race.

#4. 1–3 bots can be spawn per game. We don't want too much of players on the track, could be a chaos race 😂

For me personally I think this is a great features because it can solved the matchmaking problem where people have to wait for too long sometimes. This would also erase the reason for self race because of no opponent !
The bots has a bad stigma for some people, and they might be affraid of bots exploitation for taking rewards, but you should feel grateful because the dev made them won't taking any rewards ! So it's just to help us race without waiting for too long !

What about someone use this to exploit the rewards by lonely race for too much ? You should not be worried as well, because there is a system which makes people have to paid more fuel for every 10 race they done in a day !

Get Back to The Track and Trying to Race with Bots

I stopped race for quite long time, because I don't have lot of spare time lately, but since I'm very curious with the liquidity bots, I try to get back just to race with them.

My first try is ended up racing with other player here. Finish second against a top player.

Now it's a race with 4 racer ! The first one is a human player (another top player), and the 2 behind me is the liquidity bots ! I'm lucky to find the slower one 😂 (This is because I find another fast bot kart, but too bad I don't take a screenshot of it).

These race makes me sit on the 23th position on ranked leaderboard with estimation of reward at 4132 colony.

Meanwhile for the orbital leaderboard, I'm currently on 21th position with 79 colony reward estimated.

What's Next ?

I'm really looking forward for the mobile version, and I hope it would arrive sooner than I expected ! This would makes moonkarts become more playable for me and all gamers ! I also heard the dev trying to bring free to play version when the mobile version is live ! This would attract more users to join without worry about getting lot of initial investment !
