My Father's Work

No — if a Town Location already contains any player's pieces you pay a single $1 to the supply as an added cost, regardless of how many pieces are already there or how many you place at once (pg. 11).

Usually yes — the Self performs the Town action twice and avoids the $1 occupied-location cost, but Locations marked with the No Self Bonus symbol (x1) only allow the Self to perform that ability once; penalties from a Location are only applied once per turn (pgs. 12–13).

No — Servants assigned to Record Knowledge (and both Servants used to Perform an Experiment) are returned to Lost at the end of the round rather than back to your Quarters (pg. 12; end-of-round steps on pg. 22).

Occult Knowledge is wild and may substitute for any Knowledge type during an Experiment, but each Occult cube you use in an Experiment forces you to move one space on the Insanity Track; collecting or recording Occult Knowledge does not cause Insanity (pgs. 20, 18).

Each space you advance on a Journal Track grants a permanent free Knowledge of that type usable only toward Experiment costs (not to pay for advancing Journal Tracks), and reaching later spaces grants the listed permanent abilities (pg. 18).

At the end of a Generation you keep your Journal progress, Stored Experiments, Estate Upgrades, and one Experiment card in hand, but discard all Resources and money and place most pieces on Lost (pg. 23); follow the full End‑of‑Generation checklist on page 23 for details and timing (also see end-of-round steps on pg. 22).
