Districts on Geothermal Fissures

Geothermal Fissures: A New Frontier for City Planning in Civilization VI

Prepare to rethink your city layouts in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI with the “Districts on Geothermal Fissures” mod. This innovative modification unlocks exciting new strategic possibilities by allowing players to leverage the volatile power of Geothermal Fissures like never before. Gone are the days of these unique terrain features being mere decorative elements; they are now prime real estate for your most vital districts.

Unlocking Strategic Potential

The core of this mod lies in its simple yet profound change: the ability to construct any district directly upon a Geothermal Fissure. Crucially, the fissure itself and its inherent adjacency bonuses are preserved, meaning you don’t sacrifice existing strategic advantages to claim this prime location. This opens up a wealth of new city-planning tactics, allowing for more compact and efficient empire development, especially in regions rich with these powerful geological formations. Imagine placing a crucial Industrial Zone or a vital Campus directly over a fissure, gaining adjacency bonuses while simultaneously claiming the land.

Enhanced Amenities with Thermal Baths

Beyond the general district placement, the mod introduces a special bonus for specific districts. Aqueducts and their associated building, the Bath, receive a significant boost when constructed directly atop a Geothermal Fissure. These structures will now grant an additional +1 Amenity. This bonus stacks intelligently with the standard adjacency bonus. This means you can earn +1 Amenity for building adjacent to a fissure, another +1 for building directly on top of one, and a staggering +2 Amenities if you manage to position your Aqueduct or Bath on a fissure while it is also adjacent to another. This significantly enhances the appeal of settlements built near these fiery depths, providing a tangible reward for strategic placement.

Key Features at a Glance

This mod brings several compelling advantages to your Civilization VI experience:

• Universal District Placement: All districts can now be built on Geothermal Fissures, with the original feature and its bonuses remaining.
• Boosted Thermal Baths: Aqueducts and Baths built on Geothermal Fissures gain +1 Amenity, with potential for +2 Amenities through clever adjacency.
• Dynamic Compatibility: The Aqueduct bonus is integrated through the DistrictReplaces table, ensuring compatibility with custom district mods.

Please ensure you have the *Gathering Storm* expansion installed to enjoy this strategic enhancement to Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.
