Do plantations and quarries need colonists to count for the Residence?
A publisher account confirmed in 2007 that "filled" is the intended meaning, matching the rulebook.
No. The Residence scores per filled island space, so any plantation or quarry (and forests) counts whether or not a colonist sits on it. Only the Residence itself must be occupied. The card's word "occupied" is misleading; the rulebook's "filled" is correct.
