Using the selector on the Automa card, follow the drop ship icons, from left to right, to place her first available drop ship on a collection port that matches the drop ship type, as normal.
• If “Top Level” is printed, place her drop ship on the top-level collection port.
• If “Deepest Level” is printed, place it on lowestlevel collection port that is available.
Then do the following:
1. EXPLORE–If her drop ship contains either a crewmate or a harvester AND there is a cloud tile vertically adjacent to the collection port, remove the cloud tile and resolve as normal, except for the following:
a. Ignore the left side of the cloud tile. Instead, advance Automa’s token on the fame track by 3
.
b. On the right side of the cloud tile, Automa will not take advantage of any options that say "All players may".
2. GAIN BENEFITS–Instead of the benefits printed on the board, Automa gains all the following benefits:
a. 2 resources if her drop ship has a crewmate and/or harvester, 1 resource otherwise. Remember it makes no difference what type of resource she gains.
b. Any leftover resources or fame tokens found at the location.
c. On the wonder track, indicated by its icon beside the drop ship icon on the selector, advance 2 times if her drop ship has a crewmate and/or harvester, otherwise advance 1 time.
Remember that when Automa advances on a wonder track, she does not gain the immediate bonuses printed on the track.
Example: Automa’s
drop ship is available and will be deployed in Braided Falls because it is the deepest available port for that ship. If she advances as a part of the action, she will advance on the
track.
