Thread: Gaia Project:: Rules:: Solo Mode - Transdim colonization tiebreaker

by Khoodos

When the Automa does a 'Build a mine' action, when resolving tiebreaker 3b for the 'Most planet types' final scoring tile, the Automa prioritizes planet types that it has not yet colonized. Are Transdim planets considered in this analysis?

The problem is that the Automa can never be said to have colonized a Transdim planet, since the planet becomes a Gaia planet upon colonization.

Say the Automa has colonized every planet type except for Transdim and one of the 3-terraforming-step planets. (Importantly, this means the Automa has previously colonized a Gaia planet, whether it was originally Gaia or Transdim.) If tiebreaker 3b is to be resolved, all else being equal, which planet does the Automa colonize?

That is, do the Transdim planets count as a colonized planet type, since a Gaia planet has been colonized (even if the Gaia planet wasn't originally Transdim), or is it not counted as colonized and thus will 'win' the next tiebreaker, 3c, for fewest terraforming steps?
