@lucasrrr that makes sense thanks!

In the linked game https://www.boardgamers.space/game/random-factions-fun-times Ambas is reported as having 40 research points, however I only count 32, and I was wondering if this is a bug or if something else is being included in the calculation as research that I'm unaware of.

Not sure what happened here, but in the following game I'm playing Terrans and right before I passed in the final round I had 180 vp according to the new score charts. After passing and scoring 12vp I still only had 180. You can see in the replay at moves 346 and 347 how my score in the final calculation doesn't change. Just checking if I'm missing something about how scoring works or if this is a bug.
