Windmill improvement

[killmeplease]

I want to make the windmill improvement (buildable in hills, while mines only to improve resources).
Is there a windmill model, or is it possible to rip a windmill from the dutch polder?
or import from civ4? and how to do that?
thanks

You can get it from Dutch polder, you have to copy from improvements.artdef to add to your custom improvements.artdef.

For how to, check this: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/civ-6-modding-tools-basics.634429/#post-15173205

Or see my Portugal mod, where I add Feitoria with Fort graphics

raen, i have tried to make a minimalist Feitoria mod of your big Portugal mod but it doesnt work
i can build it and see its yields but the improvement model doesnt show up



I have attached this Feitoria mod
i wonder whats wrong with it, why doesnt it work
is there maybe a specific tutorial for adding an improvement?

You may be missing mod.art.xml capability to add custom improvements. With all in place in modbuddy, try this tool to autogenerate mod.art.xml: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/automating-modding-tasks.628685/#post-15041363

have got it to work

here is a minimal mod for those who want to create a custom improvement with a model of an existing one
the icon is set in improvements.xml (Icon="ICON_IMPROVEMENT_FORT")
the model -- in Improvements.artdef (line 79, <m_ElementName text="LM_FORT"/>)
you can change these two lines to e.g. ICON_IMPROVEMENT_PLANTATION and LM_PLANTATION respectively to use the plantation's graphics
