Improved Water Yields **Summer 2017 Update** 3

[thecrazyscot]

This mod is now included in my Omnibus mod! I will continue to support this mod individually as well, and changes in the individual mod may impact the Omnibus and vice versa.

is this compatible with the winter patch?

I have no issues with the mod working. Only problem I run across is when you hover over the +2 Food icon for the adjacency bonus it displays the reference text instead of something like "+2 Food for Resource Adjacency."

This mod is a must for people who want shine coastline cities. But I still want water tiles to have more hammers. This is the only and biggest drawback of coastal cities.

 

[jbxx]

Yes I agree it need hammers. Reasonably early - with shipyard!

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

I've noticed a very minor issue, there's missing text when you hover the mouse over the icon in the city screen that tells you how much food you get from building an harbour on a specific tile

Is your mod compatible with newest patch?

It works, but the Harbor/Hub Trade Route change gets reverted if you use this mod. Not that its necessarily a bad thing...

Hi all, hi thecrazyscot

If you like this mod like i do, and especially if you are familliar with modding, please have a look to my idea for harbor specialization:

Comments are welcome

Is this on the Steam workshop yet? I still can't find a coastal city/water yield buffing mod that's not individual (no modpacks)

 

[Torvald]

I've successfully been using lots of individual component mods up til now, and am now leaning towards using combined mod packs where possible.

In that regard, this TCS Improved Water Yields mod appears to provide some of the same improvements to water yields as the Quo's Combined Tweaks mod, but it seems to go beyond that mod with additional improvements to basic water hexes (the ones without fish, crabs, etc.). Does anyone know if it is possible to use both mods in the same game, or will that cause a conflict?

 

[Atlas627]

They will likely cause a conflict, though I haven't tested it myself. It might not crash, but your Harbors/water tiles are going to give weird yields, I think.

 

[FattyMieo]

I tested it, it crashes

This mod has now been uploaded to the Steam Workshop and is compatible with the Summer 2017 Update.

Harbor Adjacency Bonus
+2 food per adjacent sea resource and +2 gold for adjacent City Center

Harbor Buildings

• Lighthouse: +1 food to all sea resources
• Shipyard: +2 production, +1 gold to coast and ocean tiles
• Seaport: +1 food to coast and ocean tiles, +1 production to all sea resources

These changes replace all prior building yields.

Other Changes

Cartography now increases Fishing Boat gold by +1 instead of +2

Fish Farms is compatible with this mod. Several changes are made to Fish Farms if both mods are activated:

• Fishing Boats no longer gain adjacency bonuses
  
• The additional Harbor gold adjacency bonus is removed
  
• The additional trade route gold bonus from Harbors is reduced from 2 to 1

I was going to post this in your omnibus mod, but I think here makes more sense. I've been thinking about the harbour again, and the adjacency bonuses it gives. As it stands (in your mod) a harbour is pretty good district to have, in the right place, it can be the best district in the game by a mile. But there is still too little incentive to build a city on the coast, and I think that's a shame.

Have you considered swapping the adjacency bonus to give +2 food for being next to the city centre, and +2 gold (or perhaps +1f1g) for adjacent sea resources?
That way, building a city next to the sea actually has a net benefit. +2 food from your first district is pretty good, getting that doubled with policies is awesome. A small change, but that might just be enough to get me to build a city on the coast.

 

[thecrazyscot]

Great feedback. I quite like the idea of the 2f bonus for the adjacent city center and a 1f1g bonus for adjacent resources. That should definitely encourage coastal settlements while ending up with essentially the same bonus for a well placed harbor. I'll have a chance to push the update next week.

thecrazyscot updated Improved Water Yields with a new update entry:

Adjacency Update

Harbor adjacency bonus is now as follows: +2 Food and +1 Gold bonus for each adjacent City Center. +1 Food and +1 Gold for each adjacent coastal resource.

Shipyard base production yield removed and now provides production equal to the Harbor's Gold adjacency bonus (reverted to Vanilla).

Thanks for the update(s), Shkottéh

These changes replace all prior building yields.

Do you mean all yields? I am guessing it's not all:

For Lighthouse, the following yields are removed:

• +1 Food

• +1 Gold

But the following yields are intact:

• +1 Food in all water tiles controlled by the city

• +1 Housing

• +1 Citizen slot

• +1 Great Admiral point per turn

• +25% combat XP for all naval units trained in this city

For Shipyard, the following yields are intact:

• +25% combat experience for all naval units trained in this city

• Bonus Production equal to the Adjacency bonus of this district

• +1 Citizen slot

• +1 Great Admiral point per turn

For Seaport, the following yields are removed:

• +2 Food

• +2 Gold

But the following yields are intact:

• Faster Fleet and Armada training

• +25% combat experience for all naval units trained in this city

• +2 Gold to all Coastal tiles owned by this city

• +1 Housing

• +1 Citizen slot

• +1 Great Admiral point per turn

• +1 Science with the Military Research Policy

Am I right?
