Progetto Gaia

You keep power between rounds; power tokens remain on your faction board and continue to cycle—tokens are discarded only when an effect tells you to discard them (see the power cycle explanation) (p.9). Phase IV clean-up does not remove power from players' power cycles (p.17).

Charging moves tokens toward area III of your power cycle and you can only spend power tokens that are in area III; when you spend them you move them from area III back to area I (p.9).

A Gaia Project is started when you place a Gaiaformer, but the Transdim Planet becomes a Gaia Planet during the Gaia phase of the following round, so the transformation is completed later (pp.12, 10).

Your basic build range comes from your Navigation level (level 0–1 = range 1, level 2–3 = range 2, level 4 = range 3, level 5 = range 4), and you may spend Q.I.C. to extend range by +2 spaces per Q.I.C. spent (p.11).

Structures contribute power values (mine=1, trading station/research lab=2, planetary institute/academy=3) and the connected structures you choose must total at least 7 power; to connect non-adjacent planets you build satellites by discarding one power each and place them adjacent to your planets or other satellites (p.14).

No — each specific power or Q.I.C. action space on the research board can be taken only once per round (place an action token after you take it), though you may take different action spaces in the same round if available; free actions and some special actions follow their own limits (pp.15, 23, 16).
