The world stays busy with no player connected, and the model is asked for a line only when a real player is near.

mod-playerbots, mod-ollama-chat and mod-ah-bot are the open-source base, and the life layer on top is my work: a patched fork of the bot module, so 3,000 bots read as a lived-in world when nobody is connected.
At the time of the read there was no real-player session, the bots were logged in and moving, and the module’s own counter read submitted=0 for chat requests since the server started. That counter is the decision: where the spend goes. A random chat line is asked for only when a real player is within 150 yards or the bot’s guild has one online, and a reaction to an event only within 40.
Shot 2 is what the bots do alone: go grind, go camp, travel flight, a quest, or loiter at a bank or fountain for 600 to 1800 seconds. mod-ah-bot lists all 4052 auctions from one character across three houses, and none of the 3,000 random bots has a listing.
