A tutorial/walkthrough of how to use the Automa to play Scythe solo. That automa has many different move actions it can do and deciphering just how to execute them can prove challenging and some people have given up altogether. Hopefully this helps show how break it down in action so that more people can enjoy this game even when they have no one to play against!

NOTE:
At 33:14 the correct space would have been the factory as it was in the neighborhood of 5 automa units. It wouldn't have had any effect on the game though and on a later move worker I did put a worker there.
I did count up my territories wrong at the end giving myself an extra one so I was still pretty short of a tie even if I had one more turn. If I had given myself the popularity recruit early on, I would have been in third tier of popularity earlier and with maybe a better combat or a couple more points elsewhere I probably would have won.
Also, on the final turn when the Automa attacked, I forgot to consider the Character as a combat unit and it would have been the one selected to attack as it is the same distance from home base as the mech I selected, but breaks the tie with reading order. So even though the character would have left the factory, they would have left their worker there effectively gaining a territory on the final turn of the game. So I would have been and ADDITIONAL 3 points behind. sigh
