One way to understand the rules
PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
Keep this in mind
A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
