Improved Water Yields

Improved Water Yields Improved Water Yields

This module provides an overhaul of how the port and its buildings work.

philosophy

There are three design concepts behind this mod:

Make sea levels more equal in coastal cities or cities.

Reward careful district planning.

Reward investment over time.

For this reason, the base terrain output remains unchanged. Conversely, building a harbor area immediately increases the production of all maritime terrain by 1 food. Further investment in the area will result in more valuable resources and additional terrain bonuses.

Ultimately, bare shore tiles will yield 3f/2g, while ocean tiles will yield 3f/1g. On the other hand, resources will be very fertile. The exposed sea tiles in this model aren't designed to be incredibly efficient, but are balanced so working them is still a net gain. A well-located port can provide a very large amount of food, and a well-balanced specialist can add some extra production to an island city.

Port adjacency bonus

+2 food and +1 gold for each adjacent city center, +1 food and +1 gold for each adjacent ocean resource

Harbor Building

Lighthouse: +1 food for all marine resources

Shipyard: Produces equivalent to port adjacency bonus, +1 gold to coast and ocean tiles

Harbor: +1 food for coast and ocean tiles, +1 production for all ocean resources

These changes replace all previous building output

Other changes

Port Expert: Provides +1 Food, +1 Gold and +1 Production

Naval Infrastructure and Economic Alliance policies increase port food and gold adjacency bonuses by 100%

Cartography now adds fishing boat gold +1 instead of +2

compatibility

Updated with Summer 2017

Fish Farms are compatible with this mod. If both mods are activated, Fish Farms makes some changes:

Fishing boats no longer receive adjacency bonuses

Extra Harbor Gold adjacency bonus removed

Additional trade route gold bonus from Harbors reduced from 2 to 1

Manual installation

To install, extract the contents of the zip file to Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Mods.

Available on the Steam Workshop

This mod overhauls how the Harbor and its buildings work.

Philosophy

The design philosophy behind this mod is threefold:

To make coastal cities or cities with many sea tiles more balanced.

To reward careful district planning.

To reward investment over time.

To that end, base terrain yields are unchanged. Rather, building the Harbor district immediately increases all sea terrain yields by 1 food. Further investment into the district is rewarded in more valuable resources and an additional terrain bonus.

Ultimately, bare coast tiles will yield 3f/2g and ocean tiles will yield 3f/1g. Resources, on the other hand, will be very fertile. Bare sea tiles in this mod are not designed to be incredibly productive, but are balanced so that working them will still be a net gain. Well-placed harbors can provide extraordinarily large amounts of food, and well-balanced specialists can add just a bit of extra production to island cities.

Harbor Adjacency Bonus

+2 food and +1 gold per adjacent City Center, +1 food and +1 gold per adjacent sea resource

Harbor Buildings

Lighthouse: +1 food to all sea resources

Shipyard: production equal to Harbor adjacency bonus, +1 gold to coast and ocean tiles

Seaport: +1 food to coast and ocean tiles, +1 production to all sea resources

These changes replace all prior building yields.

Other Changes

Harbor Specialists: provide +1 food, +1 gold, and +1 production

Naval Infrastructure and Economic Union policies increase both the Harbor food and gold adjacency bonuses by 100%

Cartography now increases Fishing Boat gold by +1 instead of +2

Compatibility

Compatible with the Summer 2017 Update

Fish Farms is compatible with this mod. Several changes are made to Fish Farms if both mods are activated:

Fishing Boats no longer gain adjacency bonuses

The additional Harbor gold adjacency bonus is removed

The additional trade route gold bonus from Harbors is reduced from 2 …
