Gaia Project Full Rules Explanation

Description provided by Boardgame Opinions on YouTube:

There are two rule mistakes. Please read the below. 1) When taking power movements from people placing/upgrading near you, you do not sum up the pips of all buildings within 2 spaces. Instead it is the pips of the largest building. e.g. If an opponent upgrades a building within 2 spaces of three mines you own (1 pip buildings) you gain a single power not three. This is different to Terra Mystica. 2) To gain an advanced tech tile you need to purchase a research lab or research station. You must be on the 4th or 5th position of the track you want the advanced tile from. You build a research building but instead of taking a research tile from the bottom 10 positions you instead take the advanced tech tile. You still advance in one area of research but it does not need to be the same as the area you took the advanced tech tile from. You still need to flip a federation from the green side and place it over an existing technology. For example I am on the 4th slot of the income technology track. I build a research lab, take the advanced tech tile from the income technology track, plce it over an existing tech tile, flip a federation and then move up on the terraforming technology track. I’m particularly sorry I missed the second rule but it was only discovered after someone took an advanced tech tile for 4 QIC cubes on the second turn and we re-read the rules section.
