Enhance Your Sid Meier’s Civilization VI Experience with Better Tech Tree

Navigating the vast landscape of technological and civic advancements in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI can be a complex undertaking. To streamline this process and provide players with crucial information at a glance, the Better Tech Tree (UI) mod offers a significant enhancement to the game’s interface. This modification focuses purely on presenting existing game data in a more intuitive and informative way, ensuring you can make more informed decisions on your path to global dominance.

Visualize Your Progress Like Never Before

The core of the Better Tech Tree mod lies in its expansion of the information displayed within the Tech and Civics trees. Gone are the days of digging through multiple menus to understand the nuances of your research. This mod introduces approximately 150 unique icons, each designed to visually represent specific game mechanics and potential bonuses. This allows for a much richer understanding of your progress and the strategic implications of each unlock.

Key Features at a Glance

The Better Tech Tree mod brings a wealth of visual improvements to the game, including:

  • Eureka and Inspiration Indicators: Clearly see which technologies and civics provide boosts, along with the specific requirements needed to trigger them. Icons denote boosted advancements and the necessary prerequisites like buildings, districts, units, improvements, and resources.
  • Resource and Yield Bonuses: Understand harvest opportunities and improvement-specific yield increases with dedicated icons.
  • Strategic Information: Identify icons related to additional spies, tourism changes, diplomatic visibility, urban defenses, and flanking bonuses.
  • Unit Management: Easily spot options for unit upgrades and commands.
  • Specialized Icons: Discover icons for sea-related changes, removal features, and more.

Intuitive Design and Customization

Beyond the wealth of new icons, the mod also introduces features like the ability to mark important techs and civics. This personal “bookmarking” system is saved within your game files, ensuring your priorities remain visible across sessions. Furthermore, the mod smartly consolidates harvest icons, preventing visual clutter from custom content that adds numerous resources. For players who prefer a cleaner look, there’s even an option to disable harvest and removal icons entirely. The mod also intelligently handles the display of unique improvements, showing them only when playing a civilization that possesses them.

This UI-focused mod ensures that your core gameplay mechanics and dependencies remain untouched, providing a pure visual upgrade. Its compatibility extends to the base game, major expansions, and popular UI mods like CQUI and CQUI-Lite, making it an accessible enhancement for a wide range of Civilization VI players.
