Editing Wonder placement requirements

[Asmodean]

So I'm thinking about relaxing the wonder placement requirements. I think some of the placement requirements are too harsh and make for a less fun game.

On the other hand, I don't want a complete free-for-all, so I was thinking about just removing some of the biome requirements.

Examples could be:

Terracotta Army: Must be placed on grassland. None of it's effects or have anything to do with the fact that it should be placed on Grassland. It just so happens, that in the real world, it was built on grassland.
Ha'amonga 'a Maui: Must be placed on grassland or tropical and adjacent to coast. It's effect is coastal so that stays, but why limit it to grassland and tropical?

An example of a requirement that I would not alter:

Petra: Must be built on desert. The effect of Petra is tied to desert, so that stays.

But I am a noob when it comes to modding. I don't even know in which file to look for these data, or whether these requirements are hardcoded (I doubt that though).

So can anyone point me in the right direction as to which file has data on the wonders?

Just attempting a cautious bumb to see if anyone knows which file(s) has data on the wonders.

If you're using an editor that allows you to search text for multiple files (like VS Code), you can search for the wonder name itself like TERRACOTTA_ARMY. Super helpful, and you can probably learn what each effect is by reading the surrounding context.

Not at my coding pc right now, but IIRC the wonders should be in constructibles.xml (there's 1 for each age, then 1 for base)

Yup, you are right @Archanist - I just checked that file, and all the data is in that file, including what I am looking for: Biome requirements. Quite easy to edit too.
