Full pips? Learn it.
At the workbench, learn the ready card. It leaves your deck for good and becomes an instruction chip.

Your robot runs it.
Wire the chip into a track. BOOT fires at the start of every turn: no card, no Energy. Sensors, parts and Heat change when and how hard it runs.
Learn too eagerly and your deck runs thin. Hold on too long and your robot never grows. Every run is that trade.

MUSCLE MEMORY
MUSCLE MEMORYEvery card is a printed punch card. The slots along the bottom are its lesson.
The crew
Four robots. Four machines.
Each robot is wired differently. The same card becomes a different habit depending on whose board you sew it into.
Cinder
The Firebox
A boiler on legs. Shovels cards onto its Grate, where they burn as chips each morning.
Purl
Day and Night
A careful mill apprentice. Banks Energy as Yarn, and her night track works while you rest.
Weft
The Ring
The loom-carrier. Each switch between Attack and Skill steps her Shuttle round the ring.
The yard
Clock in. Beat the Collector home.
Each shift is a rail yard of fights, odd jobs, salvage and workbenches. Every move costs an hour. Flip levers to open gates, pick your route, and reach the boss before the clock runs out.
