In the rule Stations, remove the section: “nor the number of non-working Migrants they own. (Exception: Attention allocated to the Immigration Station and to the Concentration Station is ignored when calculating how many non-working Migrants are required here).”
Reword the phrase: “As a Labour Action, a Baron may Labour; when a Baron Labours they gain the Effect of each Station a number of times equal to the amount of Attention that they have in that Station.”

As a Labour Action, a Baron may Labour by declaring an allocation of their Attention to the various Stations that does not exceed their total Attention. When a Baron Labours, they temporarily assign non-working Migrants they own to each Station equal to the amount of Attention allocated for that Station. Then they gain the Effect of each Station a number of times equal to the number of Migrant assigned this way to the Station. (Exception: The Immigration Station does not require a non-working Migrant to be assigned to gain its Effect).
In the rule Labour, reword the phrase: “Otherwise they gain the effect of that particular Labour Action once, and then gain it an additional time for every full 24 hours it has been since the midnight after the date and time they last performed a Labour Action (as per the tracked value) up to a maximum of 8 additional times (i.e. 9 total).” to
Otherwise they perform that particular Labour Action once, and then perform it an additional time for every full 24 hours it has been since the midnight after the date and time they last performed a Labour Action (as per the tracked value) up to a maximum of 8 additional times (i.e. 9 total).
This allows a Baron to Labour at a Station even if they don’t have the Migrants to staff the Station yet.
Currently, a new player is forced to declare 3x immigration as their first action as they cannot do anything without Migrants. At full rest this means they gain 8 Migrants and move 19 to the Inner Slums.
Under this proposal, a new player can declare 1x immigration, 2x exploitation with full rest. They gain 1 immigrant for the first Labour as they cannot staff the exploitation station. They gain 1 immigrant and 1 resource for the second Labour (assigning the immigrant from the previous Labour), and they gain 1 immigrant and 2 resources for all the remaining Labour actions.
Habanero:
I don’t believe this works at the moment, since you only actually perform the Labour Action once in “Labour” and then gain its effect X times:
“Otherwise they gain the effect of that particular Labour Action once, and then gain it an additional time for every full 24 hours it has been since the midnight after the date and time they last performed a Labour Action”
This means you perform the action once, gaining migrants and no resources, then the effect is multiplied x9 with full rest, meaning you still gain no resources.
