Thread: Scythe:: Rules:: Movement Question: Worker Carrying & Automa

by Kerpaderp

Hi, I've just recently gotten my own copy of Scythe and have been enjoying playing against Automa. Here're the 2 clarification I may need ya'll's help since I cannot find a defined answer from the rule books alone:

1.) When Speed Mech is carrying worker(s), can the workers be carried over the entire movement (2 or 3 hexes)? Or the workers have to be "dropped off" after 1 hex of movement since workers themselves still have a movement of 1 hex per action?

e.g. Can I move 3 workers on 1 mech from Crimea's starting village hex to the Tundra hex (2 hex away) in 1 movement action (assuming both riverwalk and speed are available)? Or would I need 1 mech stand-by in the Farm/Mountain hex to chain-carrying with 2 movement action?


2.) When Automa card shows the Factory/Encounter Move followed by Non-Combat Character Move. If the Automa Character is already occupying the Factory and there are no more valid encounters, does the Automa Character actually move away from the Factory (losing that sweet 3-hex)?


3.) When Automa card shows the Non-Combat Mech Move. If all the "valid" hex , which are closest my combat units, contain Automa's worker, does the Mech still move on top of the valid hex (essentially making Automa having 2 units in 1 hex at a time)?


Thanks a bunch for all the community supports in the forum! A lot of my questions were already answer via some searching but these 3 are still uncertain to me.

Cheers!
