In the rule “Culture and Tenets”, replace all instances of the phrase “your Warehouse” in the Tenet Syntaxes with the text “one of your Warehouses”.

I think this runs into a problem with the rule for Timed Actions that states, “A Timed Action may not require a decision or choice be made at the time of its resolution.”

If you have 3 Warehouses, for example, how is the Warehouse chosen when one of those Timed Actions is resolved if the Tenet reads “one of your Warehouses”? Since a decision or choice is not allowed at the time of resolution, it seems like this won’t work.

What you need is for the rule to describe an algorithm that deterministically selects the Warehouse such that no choices or decisions need to be made.

How about “your first available Warehouse”, then?

That would probably work, as long as we can establish how to determine which one is “first”, if say three were available. A randomly selected one among the available warehouses might do.

Maybe warehouses should have a name, to make that part easier?

We can’t currently make more Shed Warehouses, so perhaps “your first available Shed Warehouse”, to make it simple? Then players can simply move their new Resources as they wish afterwards.
