I'm surprised no one has ported this concept over to Civ 6 yet.

Any progress on the removal of GnK for the requirements for this mod?

I recommend you make the thing spit out like 3 steel per iron BUT also make it use coal, since steel is made of iron and coal. 1 coal 1 iron for 3 steel is pretty good i think. Or just make itbuse coal and iron to make steel

ok thanks

Last time I tested the mod, it worked fine. I don't think there's been any updates to the game since then.

it been a while, are ur mods and this mod updated to 2017 and so? or that won't count since last time game been patched?

So why add a new resource if its not necessary? Why not just add the iron requirement to more units?

no 3d land yet.

i got em thou sort on money right now, aim to get new computer and bills are pain. 3d can be costly too.

unless ye get smart tv samsung that connects to a blue ray/dv smart thing, along with hdmi cables n internet connection. but thats techno genuis stuff. then u might get to 3d landish sort lol

oh ok. thanks.

No, there's no need for 3D art. I mean, literally, there's nowhere in the design for this mod that any 3D art would go.

is there 3d art for this?

can you make a bronze mod like this for early troops

shows up as coal o you have to place a mine on it to get some steal

Update: also happening with another mod that adds a resource, your mod is working fine.

Causing a crash when https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=274139242 and its dependencies are installed :(

This is my favorite mod, please look into this.

It ought to, but I've never tested it hard. The AI code for handling resources is pretty flexible, though.

Does the AI handle this mod OK?

Due to a limitation in the mod dependencies system, it won't work if you have BNW but not G&K, IIRC.

I like the idea but it doesn't show up in my mods when I open Civ 5. I am running BNW version 1.0.3.144

true, but I was trying to keep it simple for the game

Actually, iron is usually smelted with coal (coke, really), even when it's not steel. It's alloyed with high-purity carbon to make steel, but that carbon can come from any source. It can be high-quality charcoal.

chemically speaking, steel is iron smelted with coal - perhaps adjust this mod to reflect that?

awesome

i hope you'll enable it to vanilla soon! your idea is really good.

I really like this mod idea. Might you, dear modder, make a mod combo pack that adds this, the skyscrapers, and the many otehr mods that modify resources, add buildings that use/modify the resources, and the units / buildings that consume the ''modified' resources. Being a builder, I like pllanning infrastructure, etc., in my cities. (prefer tall style)

DCG_Anubis: I haven't tested, but I haven't found any reason it shouldn't work.

Does it work i BNW

Oh I understand. But at least it is possible. Headache away my friend!

In G&K, there is a place in the gamedata database to make buildings produce a resource. This doesn't exist in Vanilla. Making a building produce a resource in Vanilla is a headache.

Yes, please make this work for vanilla. It seems simple enough. I'm so sick of reading a real great mod, then finding out it only works for G&K. It just makes me want to punch a hole thru my computer screen! Not everyone has the money for expansions. Rise above these other idiot modders and make it work for vanilla. Please.

its great that i can finally use that iron i had for centuries!

Dude! This is awesome! . . . too bad I only have Vanilla :(
I really should get G&K.

cant get mod to show up in mod menu

MegaBearsFan: should do.

Do the units that require Steel (i.e. tank) also still require oil?

Please make for vanilla !!!!!!!!!!! :)

Yes, though possibly not terribly intelligently. All the relevant flavours are set, so the AI knows about them, and (unless I messed up) this stops the AI from ever considering Iron worthless.

Do the AI use it and you building mod?

this mod crashes my game in around 80 turns it happens every-time i activate this mod.

You can build more with it if you install my Skyscrapers mod as well.

It requires Gods & Kings... I haven't managed to make it work without it.

i cant get it it says it is missing required dependencies

yeah i had the skyscraper mod to.. but nice work

Yeah, this is the problem I've been having, and trying to balance it with the Skyscrapers mod in mind as well. I've been busy with other stuff lately, but I'll try and find time to revisit this.

cant you only have one steel mill per city? that was my problem i produced 2 steel per city and needed more

You can build as many steel meels as your iron will support, but yeah, it's difficult to work out how many units could require it with the right balance of having enough steel, and not making steel a non-problem.

ive just played a game with this mod.. and really like it but i think u should at the steel requirement to Battleship, Carrier, Missile Cruiser and both Submarines.. Maybe to the Modern Armor, Mech Infantry too but that would require more steel i had 22 iron to spare when the game ended my steel mill produced 2 steel...

@PH03NIX96: It's not possible to do it in a straightforward way for Vanilla, as the ability to have buildings produce resources was added in G&K.
