This mod attempts to overhaul districts and buildings to make city specialization more meaningful.
This is an evolving mod. Comments, suggestions, and feedback are needed!
Philosophy:
This mod's design philosophy is threefold:
Additionally, in order to increase the importance of each district the population requirement for each has been raised. This will force players to make harder choices as to which districts to build. Also, the science yield per population has been lowered to make Campuses more important even in wide empires.
Current Version: 1.4
CORE CHANGES
-Increased population requirement per district to 4
-Reduced science per population from .7 to .5
-Increased Industrial, Commercial, Campus, and Theater specialist yields from 2 to 3
-Changed how the Industrial, Commercial, Campus, and Theater district buildings work:
-Updated the Free Market, Grand Opera, and Rationalism policies to provide bonus yields to each building of the proper type instead of a 100% increase (the % increase didn't stack properly with bonus yields from district adjacency bonuses)
-Updated the following policies to provide a +50% adjacency bonus instead of a +100% adjacency bonus (for Campuses, Commercial Hubs, Industrial Zones, and Theaters)
MISCELLANEOUS CHANGES
-Integrated the Improved Aerodrome mod
-Sewer now has +1 Amenity
-Adds new Cistern building: +2 Housing, unlocked at Irrigation, required to build Sewers, granted for free when starting the Industrial or later eras
-Adds new Water Treatment Plant building: +2 Housing/+1 Amenity, unlocked at Plastics. Requires Sewer to build.
(NOTE: if you want to see the new building icons (identical to the Sewer's for both) copy the Icons_Buildings.xml attached in the Discussion OP to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Base\Assets\UI\Icons and overwrite the original file). Alternatively, you can manually edit C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Base\Assets\UI\Icons\Icons_Buildings.xml and add the following lines:
The new stuff should be added in the pictured location:
