Just buy that hardcopy, you won't regret it! The physical version is beautiful. Gameplay is punishing, but very, very good, both in multiplayer and solo.

It looks to me as if both Automa are taking 2 turns every time they should only be taking one. I copied this from the log (you need to read bottom up):

Automa II constructs a Powerhouse in P9_0
Automa II rotates the wheel
Automa II place 2
on the wheel
Automa II places 2 engineers on board
Automa II removes red contracts
Automa II places 1 engineers on board Contract Office

I am very unfamiliar with the game, we have only tried it once and had trouble figuring it out. I am trying to play a few Solo games to learn the game, but I don't think the above is allowed (I could be mistaken). Is that not 2 distinct turns? One to obtain a red contract, and a second to build a Powerhouse? The other automa is doing the same thing, obtained a yellow contract, then built a Powerhouse.

Thanks.

No bug here, as previously explained in this thread already (and also in the rulebook). Some actions don't end the automa turn immediately (most actions do though).

Thanks! I see from the rulebook that there is a separate Automa rulebook? I searched through the one which is available to DL, and it just mentions Automa once and indicates the Automa rules are explained in the Automa rulebook. I'll see if I can find it, tks.
