Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Frontier Science:
A Researcher may spend X Stamina, where X is the Stamina cost for moving into their current Location, to take an Examination Action. The following are Examination Actions: General Searching, Product Scan.
When General Searching a Pathfinder performs the following Atomic Action:
* Roll DICE6. If the result is lower than the number of Distinct Discoveries with a dense concentration in that Location then skip the rest of this action.
* Generate a new Distinct Discovery in that Location. The Examining Pathfinder may optionally spend an additional 1 Stamina to set the new Distinct Discovery’s Classification to the valid value (Animal, Vegetable or Mineral) of their choice.
* Gain 1 Prestige.When conducting a Product Scan a Pathfinder performs the following Atomic Action:
* Roll DICE2. If the result is lower than the number of Distinct Discoveries with a dense concentration in that Location that have a known Product then skip the rest of this action.
* Randomly select a Distinct Discovery that has a dense concentration in that Location and a piece of regulation Equipment. If the selected Equipment’s effect on the selected Discovery is anything other than unknown, repeat this step.
* Set the effect of the selected Equipment on the selected Discovery to Productive.
I leave it up to the ground crew.
Kevan: he/him
Potential infinite loop in the second action if a Discovery has no Product, but all the Regulation Equipment has defined non-Product effects on it? Although I suppose you just wouldn’t take the action, in that case.
