It is simply the best mod and supports uncle！！！！！！！

Already say it but again, amazing work Uncle

Love the Milk icon ;D

Will test this great mod as soon as I can !

Lacking time to explore it but really willing to!
My only concern would be the AI, can it play at least as »well« as without your mod?

Thank you @Daarkarrow and @xuzheqi!

@Cure_off the AI usage of the new resources is generally good but it's still a bit of a dance with incentives to get them to prioritize how I'd like them to. I'll definitely keep refining that aspect in future updates, but as of now, I recommend using this mod on Civilization or Humankind difficulty. The AI will build new resource districts if it can and I have not observed the AI entering into resource shortages larger than a single overallocated copy (the effects of which are pretty minor). I think overall, the game is a bit easier with this mod enabled than without it.

incredible! a dream come true, I'm trying it right now ! thanks for your job

Thank you for your reply @uncle2fire
I'll try the mod when I'll find some time, it seems very interesting.

Double-post to be sure for it to get noticed.

I tried it, a bit.
It is an impressive work for what I've seen, as the modification from the tech panel indicates right of the bat:

Which leads to more options in cities quite early:

I don't this it might be mod related but in this game, we seemed to be 4 players sharing the same continent and the three others took a long time to get to the ancient era. I did raze few outposts (4?) but did not attack them at any time. Playing on Endless speed, two players reach the AE turn 23, I got 27. There were a turn 57, turn ~60 and one still in the neolithic turn 70-ish.

Thanks for trying the mod out!

I haven't noticed any different behavior from the AI during the Neolithic while testing, and the mod doesn't change any aspects of the Neolithic era or gaining of stars, so I'm not sure what the cause was of such a late advancement of several of your AI. Did they have enough stars to advance, or were they stuck without enough pop/science/animals to gain their first stars?

I did nothing or close too, it was fun discovering a mod that made so many changes to the early game. It was too much for me but nonetheless very impressive and am glad I tried it. So thank you for having done it.

The AI behaviour is then tied to inefficiency, which is still a bit weird considering it was played on humankind difficulty. I wanted to share it, in case you'd have had some similar feedback. If it is a single case, not need to bother yourself with it.

This mod is incredible. I can't play the game without it anymore. Thank you. Will you be able to make sure it continues to work afte the upcoming expansion? Thanks again.

Thank you so much, @Diegoyya! It may take some time to update it once the expansion releases, but it's definitely the plan to keep it working after Together We Rule.

This is such a cool mod and a level of complexity that perhaps Amplitude should consider for a free industrial/manufacturing/trade DLC. I have just played around with it a little but have some observations and questions. 

There is a bit of a slower start production-wise, but the game quickly ramps up with access to resources. I like how the early game adds another dimension to research priorities in which natural vs. manufactured resources to unlock. I can tell already how much more important trade is and how the mod works well with how resources are shared rather than traded away. The animal/cultivar localizations draw my attention to the biome system, which takes it beyond the visual. In general it is somewhat reminiscent of Factorio in both production chains and how it reignites my appreciation for material culture across history. Who even knew how much fun you could have with an early natron economy?

I am curious how the mod interacts with map generation, as there has appeared quite a spread in natural resources, and it is unclear how it relates to standard map generation or possibly the mod. I am not very familiar with resource distribution, but this is a sample map (Abundant) to give you a sense.

This kind of distribution would seem to interact with the production chains. Additionally, animals/cultivars appear to be capped at 3 each, whereas Aromatics seem to be limited by dry grass availability, but I did not see anything to explain the observed cap.

Overall, very cool to unpack resources (and yields) into production chains, and I hope it serves as inspiration to the community!

Thank you, @saxogrammaticus! I'm so glad you enjoy the mod. The mod was inspired by how important early material culture was, so I'm fully in the same boat with your enthusiasm.

The mod shouldn't affect map generation, since the number of (natural) resources that spawn is still 20, and the mod doesn't affect the biomes they appear in at all.

The cap is a little complicated, but how it works is that you can build a max of 1 each of Pack Animal Pens, Pasture, Orchard, and Cereal Grain Farm per biome. So you can build a max of 10 Pack Animal Pens in your empire, assuming you have at least one territory for each biome type in your empire. But if your empire only has territories in three biomes, you'll only be able 3 of these districts. An extra layer of complexity is that unlike the Pack Animal Pens, the Pasture, Orchard, and Cereal Grain Farm can't be built in every biome type. You can have a max of 9 Cereal Grain Farms, 7 Pastures, and 6 Orchards.

Most other districts (the Natron Mine being the biggest exception) can only be built once per city.

So clever to make use of the biomes. Now I am paying closer attention, though taiga/tundra/arctic tends to blend together in my eye. Turns out there is much to learn about map settings or possibly to improve upon generation. I wish it were guaranteed to have every biome on a standard map, but tundra, mediterranean, and even tropical can be somewhat uncommon. Of course, this adds a new dimension along with the mod where biome diversity is now strategic.

I like to play with spread resources, and I see that pearls and ambergris can fall as low as 1-2 deposits on Pangea maps compared to the natural setting which more commonly yields clusters of 4-5 each. Such is life! It adds immersion for there to be some scarcity of natural resources compared to manufactured ones. I also like how many of the early resources confer an advantage to terrain as opposed to later manufactured resources.

Gedemon mentioned a little over a year ago making dye a manufactured good. In your mod, perhaps that could look like shells as a natural resource along with terrestrial sources modeled after the Apothecary or even the Spice Fields, each dye drawing on any of those sources.

Thanks again for this terrific mod! Looking forward to many fun play-throughs as I explore it.

Hello I have a pretty bad English, forgive me for the grammar mistakes..

I tried the mod, it's awesome! the work you have done is amazing! On the other hand, I have a problem with the change of turn which hangs on "waiting turn" on 100% of my games with the mod between turn 70 and 150. Is it related to compatibility with the expansion of the game?

thanks in advance.

Thank you so much :)

I haven't updated the mod for the Metternich/Together We Rule expansion, so there could be problems with compatibility. I hopefully will put out an update in the next couple of weeks!
