Hi all.
I have just started modding CivBE, and am stuck already .
As a starting point, I decided to create a standalone mod that added the Tile Improvement Reclamation Project. This project returns the tile to an unimproved state.

After much research I have discovered that this is firmly in the realm of Terraforming Mods, code wise, and have whipped up a very simple, 2 step process.

First I have TileImprovements.xml, which contains all of, I think, the required material for a new Tile Improvement.

I then have a simple bit of code which checks for a the Reclamation Project whenever a Tile Improvement is completed, it sets the tile to not possess any tile improvements (=-1).

--------------------------------------------------------------
function onReclamationProject(playerID, plotX, plotY, improvementID)
	local pPlot = Map.GetPlot(plotX, plotY)
	local iImp = pPlot:GetImprovementType()
	if (iImp == iReclamationProject) then
		pPlot:SetImprovementType(-1)
	end
end
GameEvents.BuildFinished.Add(onReclamationProject)

For some reason it isn't showing up in game, and, as a total beginner with limited XML and LUA experience, I don't know why.

I have no real clue what to do with the Project settings either, having just added TileImprovements.xml to the Actions list with a database update.

I would very much appreciate some help,
Thanks.
