Setup: Vagabot: a bot character card, the pawn in the forest next to the most clearings, 1 quest face up for it alone, the R items under the ruins and 4 S items in its Satchel (3 for the Tinker).
Clockwork bots: each turn a bot reveals an order card and follows its own faction steps.

Clockwork Expansion 0, Electric Eyrie, Automated Alliance and Vagabot.
How Bots Choose and Handle Cards A bot applies its action's own criteria first; ties go to the clearing with the highest priority number on the map (1 is highest), and…
Mechanical Marquise 2.0 Birdsong: reveal an order and craft its item if it's in the supply.
Electric Eyrie Birdsong: reveal and craft the order, add it to the Decree by suit, and place a roost if none is on the map.
Automated Alliance Birdsong: reveal and craft the order, then Revolt unless the order is a bird card; if it didn't revolt, it spreads sympathy (Public Pity).
Vagabot The Vagabot is not a warrior and can't be removed from the map.
