MarsBot with Colonies

Set up Colonies as for 2 players, with every colony tracker on its highlighted second step. Swap Expedited Construction B05 for B16, shuffle Outer System Foothold (B17) into its bonus deck, and set aside Shipping Lines and Extended Shipping Lines. MarsBot has its shipping board and 1 Trade Fleet, with a second on space 9 of the track the rules show. After each Research phase except the first, shuffle Shipping Lines into its action deck, and Extended Shipping Lines too from the generation after its second fleet unlocks (it then trades twice). It places colonies on a random colony tile where it has none: flip a project card and count its cost through those tiles.
