Can't build Lithium mine !

[Khajiit]

Even though I have two cities with salt and lead in the viicinity, I can't build the lithium mine. Without lithium, I can't get exoskeletons, without that I am pretty much closed off to a whole bunch of units in the future eras.

Does it work if you add it to one of the cities with world builder?

You might need to provide a savegame with some instructions as to the cities that should be able to build the lithium mine.

Can the city build a Salt Mine and a Lead Mine building?

 

[Khajiit]

Doesn't work when I add to worldbuilder, when I add any building via worldbuilder the game doesn't allow to have it after I exit, might be because of locked modified assets maybe?

the two cities can build a lead mine but not a salt mine. I had to cheat by adding bionic suits and exoskeletons ,etc into my cities via worldbuilder. It really ruins immersion for me when I have to cheat in order to get the units I want.....

BTW, the A.I. can't build it either. None of them have lithium, exoskeletons, mechs, and all the other bunch of resources needed from lithium.

but not a salt mine

I'd check to see if the xml is properly recognizing salt with the correct references here.

 

[Hydromancerx]

If not the salt mine then I suspect the salt resource too far away from the city to count as "vicinity".

 

[Thunderbrd]

Perhaps there should be an alternative to Lithium that doesn't require having a city have both in the radius... for such a critical resource this strikes me as being far too difficult to obtain and on many maps impossible.

I realized this when making it, however its the best I could do without adding another map resource.

also so far in my test games I have always been able to get it. I don't know if its good luck of if salt just tends to generate near lead.

 

[Hydromancerx]

I figured out why I can always make it. The Desalinization Plant! It provides a Salt resource which counts as a city vicinity for salt. So if you have coastal city near Lead resource and build a Desalinization Plant I think you should be able to get the Lithium Mine. Thus not as rare as you think.

 

[Thunderbrd]

A Lead Reclamation plant that does the same would make it possible in every city at some cost... thus should be fine at that point.

 

[Hydromancerx]

Actually no. The Lead Reclamation plant gives Lead Ingots and not Lead Ore. So it would not count as Lead in the city vicinity.

 

[BolshevikSpaceman]

I can't build a lithium mine either. Have lead ore. Have desalinization plant. v37 is pretty broken.

So I don;t know hoe or why, but a lithium factory seemed to build itself. I know i didn't build it because I have show only buildings that don't cause unhealthiness on in the city. Are they built automatically like housing now?

Why are you necro'ing a 4 year old dead thread? :/

Probably because the bug has still not been fixed!

Maybe it was fixed and is part of a hidden chain?
