Workable Mountains

This (rather small) mod adds 3 new Buildings to the game that add yields to mountain tiles (and give some general bonuses).












Like with so many mods, this mod will not work properly if you just load it after starting the game - it will cause Mountain tiles will have Ice Graphics on them. To prevent that, after activating mods (when the game has completed configuring the game files) you NEED to go back to the mod menu (hit Esc) and let it configure the game files a second time. This is only nessesary the first time you enable mods after launching the game, then it will work for the rest of the session.

This mod adds 3 new Buildings to the game:

Mountain Bunker
- requires: Defense Grid
- +40 City Hitpoints
- +2 Production from Mountains
Has a Building Quest that adds yields to bring this building up to par with other Buildings.

Geothermal Extractor
- requires: Geophysics
- +1 Geothermal (from the building itself, not per Mountain)
- +2 Energy from Mountains
Has a Building Quest that adds yields to bring this building up to par with other Buildings.

Research Station
- requires: Artificial Intelligence
- +2 Science (from the Building itself, not per mountain)
- +2 Science from Mountains

All 3 require a mountain in a 2-tile radius around the city. If you get all 3 techs, mountains yield a total of +2 Energy, +2 Production and +2 Science - so overall they turn a useless tile (in terms of yields) a rather good tile. But of course, the techs need to be researched and the buildings have to be constructed first - so these investments will probably only pay off if you have more than just a few mountains inside of your borders (which is intentional - it's designed to be a choice to be made in every game, not just an "Always get this!"-Option).

Quite a few people to name here actually. :)

- First of all, I took inspiration from SushiSquid's Workable Mountain mod for Civ 5 (and by inspiration I mean I shamelessly copied his method to allow mountain yields).
- This mod also uses lilgamefreek's Modular Building Choices-mod to allow for compatibility with other mods that add building quests
- And then there's soulthirst (@civfanatics.com), he was the one who had the idea to create this mod for Beyond Earth.

And of course, also a "Thank you!" to everyone who uses my mods. :P
