So I'm pretty certain that if I buy Ferry, I can put it on Catapult/Rocks or Encampment/Plunder... as long as Catapult or Encampment is on top.
On ShuffleIt, I was unable to put Ferry on Small Castle, which is an Action-Victory. Is this a bug, or does this only work for split piles rather than mixed piles?

I believe that you can put it on the pile no matter which one is on top...

...for the same reason that you can't put it on the Castles pile, namely that Ferry can be placed on an Action pile and the type of the pile is determined by the randomiser card for the pile rather than by the card that happens to be on top at present.

An action supply pile is a pile whose randomizer card says "action". It is NOT a pile that has an action card on top.
From the Empires rulebook:
Some cards refer to the cost or types of a pile as if it is just one card. In these cases go with what is on the Randomizer card
And regarding Castles:
This pile is treated as a Victory - Castle pile, as per the Randomizer, despite the top card being a Treasure - Victory - Castle
-
So.... something interesting just occurred to me. Is the Ruins pile an action-supply pile? The rules say to go by the randomizer card... but Ruins don't have a randomizer card.

Thanks for the clarification everyone! :)

Yes.

I played a game the other day where ruins was the Obelisk pile so yes?

Yes.
This is certainly logical, but is it in the rules anywhere?

Oh wow I never would have thought of that if I were playing Obelisk and a Looter IRL.
*Edit* I just saw that the rulebook FAQ for Obelisk specifically says that ruins can be chosen. I guess this suffices for the rule I was looking for... but it does still make me want to know what the definition of an action supply pile is. Is it any supply pile where either the randomizer says "action", OR every card in the pile says "action"?

It's a supply pile where the randomizer says "action," or the Ruins pile or any future no-randomizer exceptions.
