Question about unique improvement and Prerequisite tech

daylightend · Oct 12, 2014

Hey

I made a uniqe improvement for my first civ, it should act about the same like a fort. So I started by copying a the xml for a fort. And changed some stuff, currently it's a fort that can only be build on tundra, for testing purposes.

Spoiler :

The improvement is showing up as uniques for my civ, all working fine. Also no sql errors. The only problem is that the improvement is not showing up under a worker's build actions. I suspected that's because my improvement has no prerequisite tech, like other improvements do. And thus no "place" on the tech tree. That brings me to my actual question :

I am wondering if anyone knows where I can find the Prerequisite tech for improvements. So that I can add a Prerequisite tech to my own improvement.

I've tried adding <PrereqTech>TECH_POTTERY</PrereqTech> (stolen from granary) to my improvement but that gave me a sql error :

Spoiler :

Since pretech is not sorted in the improvements table, but all improvements have a pretech I'm lost on where to search for it.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction, thx in advance !

This might show some light on the issue. This is for a mod I am working on where I am currently stealing the chateau art while waiting for art-makers to work out the graphics needed. Note that <PrereqTech> occurs in the worker's <Builds> and <BuildFeatures>:

Thx a lot for that snippet LeeS !

The reason my improvement didn't show up was probably not that it didnt have a pretech, but that it was missing :

Spoiler :

It's all working now, worker is constructing as we speak
