Evacuation

During Income you must return food tokens from the corresponding world to pay the population's food requirement (New World only starts consuming in year 3); you cannot choose to keep food and not pay. For each food you fail to pay you take a penalty chip, and you also take a penalty chip for each missing stadium in years 3–4 (page 5).

Each time your action marker lands on a cost space you pay the shown energy (one energy per icon); if you can't pay from the required world you cannot take the action and must pass (page 6). Which world supplies action-track energy depends on your progress-track transitions: before transition 2 it must come from the Old World, with one marker past transition 2 it can come from either side, and once both markers have passed it must come from the New World (page 12).

You must settle the site completely: move the required population tokens and/or factory tiles from your New World side to every spot on the site and pay the steel cost for population tokens as indicated (page 8). Some sites also require settlement symbols and specific biomes which must be met before settling (page 8).

A factory site can be evacuated two ways: load it into a matching evacuation bay (which does not count against building capacity) or load it using the ship's building capacity (which does count); in either case you place a matching unused factory tile on the ship and flip the site face-down (page 11).

After Transport, count the happy-face icons from your stadiums and fully developed technologies; the player with the most goes first, next-most goes second, etc. If players are tied, reverse the order among the tied players (page 12).

Transition 1 flips an Old World productivity token face-down, reducing Old World production; Transitions 2 and 3 unlock desert and forest biomes respectively and, when your second marker passes each, move a productivity token to the New World and advance all production markers by one; Transition 4 unlocks the sea biome. Passing transitions also affects action energy sourcing (see page 12) and you resolve any transition effects as soon as a marker passes them (pages 12–13).
