Problems with Using Builders

[Crotonmark30]

How can I tell why my builder cant build anything on a certain hex?
is there a way to show something on any version of the map that will tell me anything?
im totally in the dark. Thanks in advance

There's nothing that specifically tells you. Many improvements have placement restrictions that can be found in the Civilpedia; however, that unfortunately doesn't always tell the tale. If you give me a detailed example, I'll take stab at why you can't place the tile improvement.

Thanks. I don’t have specifics. I’m on a tile and no development options pop up.
what sites can’t be developed?

I’ll read it. Looks cool. Thanks so much!

There are too many various types of improvements available in the game to remember it all in advance.

I suggest using improved map tacks game addon from Steam Workshop. You can "tack" an improvement type anywhere on the map and it will warn you with a red exclamation mark if the improvement is not possible on that tile.
For example, if you try adding a camp to a flat forest without a resource, it will warn you it's a no-go. The addon is also very handy for pre-planning wonders and districts.

Does it work on Mac? How do I get it?

I'm pretty sure it works on Mac. Here's the link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2428969051
