So, we are confused by reading 876 which removes the rats and spawns the machine
The script says to move all (clear gem) from the Dream gate tile to the Machine, but the only tokens on the Dream gate are the purple disease tokens. The (Clear gem) tokens you get from killing Rats go to the storage.
So, which is it? Do we move unspent rat tokens from Storage to the machine? Or do we move the disease tokens to the machine?
When you spend the universal (clear) tokens to buy items they then go to the dream gate tile. It is written on the items (those you can purchase in the dream).
ah, thanks, we completely missed that the tokens go to the Dreamgate tile when you buy from the Merchant.
We would have ran out of tokens though - as the combined cost of all the Merchant's items are 12, and there are only 16 tokens, many of which were sitting on our Progress Cards already.
So, we accidentally cheated and made this dream much easier than intended.
IIRC the clear gems used to pay for items from the merchant go on the dream gate when you make a purchase.
