Miseaprix: corrected typo

== Rules ==
At this point its very unlikely that this is a an issue (or it has been already reported)

These are common cases of rules misinterpretation:

;My tags are not counted properly
* Event tags are NEVER counted. They only matter when playing of the event for discounts and effects.

;I cannot claim a milestone
* No more than 3 milestones can be claimed (out of 5).
* No milestone can be claimed in solo game.

;I placed a forest but it does not increase oxygen
* Placing a forest after last generation does not increase oxygen.
* Placing a forest when oxygen is at maximum does not increase it.

;I had to reduce my own production even it was red bordered
* Production reduction is MANDATORY. If you cannot reduce somebody else's - you have to reduce yours.

;I should be able to skip removing animals if its red bordered
* Only when it is an effect. Removing resources to activate card is MANDATORY (i.e. Ants)

;I cannot remove animal from Pets
* You cannot remove animals from Pets. They live in the house - predators cannot get to them.

;I could not remove animals/microbes/plants from opponent
* Removing animals/microbes/plants is not possible from PETs or when your opponent has Protected Habitats in play.

;Solo mode game ended at generation 12
* This is the rules for Prelude (when playing with prelude it ends at gen 12).

;Search for life does not give me extra points
* It only gives 3 points MAX. Amount of life you found does not matter.

;My corporation's first action is not executed
* The corporation's card text "as your first action" actually means it is a mandatory action you must take on your TURN, it is not part of game setup.

;I was able to do thing not allowed by the rules
* Some cards effects violate the common rules - please carefully read the text on the card before submitting bug about a specific card.

;I did not get discount for a card
* Game applies all discounts automatically. You see discounted price.

;I should not be able to spent 8 heat to increase temperature when it is at max
* You can do some actions which seem to be unreasonable (such as spending 8 heat when temperature is at max). This move is allowed by the rules and can be legally played as a stalling technique.

;I lost VP randomly (when the Thermalist is funded or was just funded).
* You should be aware that the player with the most heat as the game stands will win 5 VP from the Themalist awards. Actions (such as spending 8 heat when temperature is at max) can cause players to 'be in the lead' or 'lose' the award. Please see the rulebook for full details.
'''My production did not increase after playing a card.'''

* Yes, it increased. But then one of your opponents played a card which decreased your production. Please check carefully play area of your opponents.

== Evidence ==
When you reporting bugs (vs suggestions) you have to provide evidence in the report itself - which is either text of game log or screenshot.
Use Copy Log button (when clicking on gear button) to generate log and game situation details.
If you don't, it will be closed as "worksforme" as we cannot spent time loading replays - it takes forever.

== Limitations of digital adaptation ==
* Cannot choose order of come into play effects of project cards (with some exceptions)
* When order of effect chosen - cannot Draw cards before resolving other complex effects
* If you play Ecology Experts prelude card and have no money to play any card, you will have to skip playing a card, you cannot undo anything
