When you place it on an action space it counts as the best worker type for that placement, including the bonuses and motivated return. It cannot be spent as a specific worker type for a cost (a Superproject's Scientist, repaying a Worker warp tile, or evacuation conditions), but can pay for effects that accept any worker, such as clearing an Anomaly. On spaces with different bonuses per worker type, choose one reward.
