Does this work with vanilla or modded TSL maps? Does it work with modded maps in general? or only randomly generated maps?

I suggest using Sukritact's Resource mod - it includes an updated Gold resource that works with monopolies and corporations
Crudestwalnut81 Sep 29, 2023 @ 7:17pm 
can you please make this work with monopolies and corporations

기업모드도 같이되면좋겠다 두개세개있어도 안됨...

As a Luxury resource, this should allow eventual Corporations (if you are playing with those) to be built using it.

When I see this in a game though, there are way too many spawning places for it. As an example, I get 5 horses and 8 gold in the same 20 tile area. And that is on Abundant, I haven't tried it with the Mod that adds "Truly Plentiful", it will probably give me 15 gold in that same 20 tiles.

@Juan:

Neither, it's a luxury resource that will be spawned when you start a new game, so long as you have the required mod/dlc and there is a slot/space available for the resource generator to place it on a continent in the new game. Sea luxury resources do not affect this, as they have a different mechanic in play that makes them require something else other than an available slot/space.

By default there is 4 slots/spaces per continent for (only affects land luxury resources, and is never affected by however sea luxury resources you have for the game to choose from) land luxury resources to be randomly placed by the resource generator, and if memory serves me right in the base game you have about 3 or 4 more luxury resources for the game to pick from than you normally have continents to fit them on, at least on anything smaller than a huge map size anyway.

Do I need any tech to unlock it, or does it show up by default (like stone) but you have to manually add it to maps?
goldenGirlsJKsM56 Aug 25, 2021 @ 3:53am 
how can use with map aditer?
Abu95 Aug 6, 2021 @ 9:29am 
please make it fit to monopolies and&corporations

@Pouakai If you want to add Monopolies & Corporations support for Gold I've done it for The Nile map (cos it had Gold). You can copy the XML -> https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2533959502
jamingjoe Jul 9, 2021 @ 3:25am 
Can you make it a strategic resource. That reduces the cost of buying with gold based on how much you have in total.
Royal Raven Apr 12, 2021 @ 9:16am 
@Ifleps, I assume this mod is not going to get updated for the Monopolies and Corporations. Our only hope is the Devs add it to base game finally.
lfelps Apr 12, 2021 @ 6:43am 
Gold resource doesn't have the features included on Monopolies and Corporations
HAAKO40 Mar 14, 2021 @ 1:47pm 
Is the gold resource compatible with the new corporations feature?
Royal Raven Feb 26, 2021 @ 6:56am 
@cobber51, I agree. I like this mod for the simple fact that it ports over the Gold from the scenario, which the gold is in two scenarios, Australia and Nubia. And Firaxis does not have to add it to base game, but it would be nice.

I am not a complete fan of Sukritact's resources, there are some in there I wish that were not. But a lot of players like to use it. I find the cheese and sharks kind of weird. I mean we already have cattle in game and it can be implied we get our dairy needs from that. Sharks, I feel like there could be a better sea resource that can be used, but I can't think of any right now. The Camels I can go either way, some times they are nice and some times I don't want them.
Royal Raven Feb 26, 2021 @ 6:56am 
Now that I am thinking of it. It would be cool to get a way for us to set up a game where we could not allow a certain resource to spawn, kind of like how we can select which wonders we can have in game or Civs now.

I would honestly like to see Tin added by game or mod, it played a big part in the making of Bronze. We already have Copper in game.
Cobber Feb 25, 2021 @ 10:20pm 
@Royal Raven:

It shouldn't even be something up for consideration by Firaxis, but a default resource in every single Civilisation game. Given gold's importance and significance throughout human history, particularly since Electrum was first discovered and used (naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver) and especially once gold began being used as the basis of currency by the ancient cultures that developed currency, had access to gold and used it (some obviously used other things for currency instead, like cacao seeds) it makes no sense why they left it out of this Civilisation game, and have only implemented it so far in a unique scenario that many people will probably never actually play.

I'd absolutely use Sukritact's mod over not having gold at all, but there's so many extra luxury resources in that mod that having the chance of gold spawn in a game would be greatly diminished, at least in comparison to using this mod for gaining access to it anyway.
Royal Raven Feb 25, 2021 @ 8:50pm 
Well Looking at Sukritact Resource mod, for comparison, it is not an easy thing to add resources to work with Monopoly/Corporations mode. There is some coding involved and additional folder structure.

I was going to play around with it to get this mod working, assuming it was a few lines of code, but it is not. I am honestly not a modder or coder, so it is beyond me.

I say if you want Gold Resource at this moment for those modes, I would use Sukritact Resource mod. Another option is bug Civ6 Firaxis guys to add gold resource to base game. I think this would be the best bet. I have been messaging them a few times on Twitter about it over the years, but no response.

I would prefer it that way, that Firaxis adds it to base game, I mean it is all there in the files. Gold resources has been on most of the past Civ games.
Royal Raven Feb 22, 2021 @ 8:09pm 
The mod author might not have the FP stuff, like a lot of players. I have most of the FP stuff but not the Monopoly one.

I think someone here could do a fix for monopoly and do test. And maybe provide it to mod author here. I think when I get the Monopoly FP, I might look into fixing this mod for it. But I dont have it and have no way of looking at code.
The Prince of Politics Feb 22, 2021 @ 6:38am 
It needs to be updated, it is natural that it should take the same bonus as silver, 25% gold.
Royal Raven Feb 16, 2021 @ 2:50pm 
Instead of bugging the mod author to add this mod to Corporation game mod, instead reach out to Firaxis and ask them why we have to mod this in game, when they can put the Gold in base game themself, instead of a scenerio in a dlc.
Rhaeven Feb 7, 2021 @ 12:58pm 
Integration with Corporation/Monopolies game mode please?
Cobber Feb 6, 2021 @ 7:38pm 
@IA:

As far as I know and can remember this mod does NOT touch the UI, so any issues like that are extremely unlikely to be as a result of using this mod.

I have seen many people complaining on other mod pages, that also don't touch the UI (to the best of my knowledge anyway), of UI issues post Vietnam/Mongolia DLC launch, so I would say confidently that the new DLC and update are the real culprits for causing these problems.
lfelps Feb 6, 2021 @ 3:18pm 
@IA that's not the mod's fault, their latest Vietnam and Mongolia DLC is quite broken, some people are complaining about issues with the UI even without this mod. I for instance have this mod and I didn't get that issue.
IA Jan 29, 2021 @ 5:12pm 
This mod might need to be updated as it maybe breaking the corp/monop game mode, I was in the diplomacy page on one of the leaders and it just breaks as soon as you slect make the deal as the ui disappears and see nothing but the leader and you cant escape the screen
MarsEco Jan 28, 2021 @ 5:08pm 
Can we get an update for the Frontier Pass with the Corp/Monop game mode?
Diabetical Jan 28, 2021 @ 10:29am 
How does the new corporations mode work with modded resources? Have not had the opportunity to test yet.
The_Competent_Gamer Sep 1, 2020 @ 1:38pm 
Just downloaded and tested the mod myself with the New Frontier pass. This mod works just as advertised. Note: Gold will not spawn in every game (i've generated 5 maps and found gold in 3) and the Gold Ore icon does not appear in World Builder's resource menu. Instead, it is marked as a Banana next to Gypsum, but it does still work!

Phenomenal job!
Madisonian Jul 17, 2020 @ 4:59am 
I wish there was a similar mod to unlock Cinnamon and Cloves so they wouldn't rely on being suzerain of Zanzibar.
Royal Raven Jul 6, 2020 @ 7:18am 
@eightroomsofelixir, I don't know why either. I messaged the Devs about it years ago on Twitter and on their live streams, no response. It would take them like 5 secs to put it in base game from their Scenarios. Yes Scenarios, it is in the Australia one and the Nubia one.
eightroomsofelixir Jul 5, 2020 @ 9:54pm 
I seriously wish gold as a resource can be in base game. I mean, it's the No.1 luxury of the human history...
Royal Raven Jun 21, 2020 @ 8:39am 
Some more proof this works, this is from my game after the one I posted images below:

Also here is my mod list:

I never had issues with this Gold Resource mod, has been very simple and best one. It does the job period.
Royal Raven Jun 10, 2020 @ 2:33pm 
As you can tell there is Gold in my game:
https://i.imgur.com/jo51YwD.jpg

I have all the current Expansion and DLCs as of this comment.

You are not going to see gold in every game you play. This is the 3rd play-through since I re-added the mod back in and I got gold.
shaggyhairj Jun 5, 2020 @ 9:19am 
I can't see any gold in my game on GS.
Supercodplayer1995 Jun 1, 2020 @ 8:48pm 
Just saw gold in my last game on New Frontier so it is working.
Royal Raven May 30, 2020 @ 5:12pm 
I will test, but there should not be any issues. You can do a test in world builder, gold spawns, but not a crazy amount and some games you wont have any in. It will be worse if your using more Resources mods.
GuardsMark May 21, 2020 @ 2:19pm 
I don't think I've ever seen gold appear in one of my games, sadly unsubscribing.
landstar553463 Apr 20, 2020 @ 4:05pm 
it does not show up for me either. it has not worked for awhile now.
mike.desimone81 Apr 10, 2020 @ 11:44am 
Gold hasn't appeared in any campaigns that I've done. Is anyone else having difficulties?
Lili Mar 4, 2020 @ 8:37am 
thanks
GinJohnRose Jan 28, 2020 @ 1:41pm 
Thanks for updating, mate.
HeyNongMer Jan 19, 2020 @ 9:21am 
Ha! Forget I asked : the answer is in one of the most recent comments on the Sukritact's Resources page. (You can disable the SR gold file to work with this mod)
HeyNongMer Jan 19, 2020 @ 9:18am 
Does this work with Sukritact's Resources, which also adds Gold? SR's gold isn't the official DLC gold, so I'm wondering if they conflict, or one overwrites the other, or if they could both appear on a map.
Royal Raven Jan 10, 2020 @ 9:14pm 
@Pouakai, thanks for updating and nerfing the Gold down to +3. I am glad I checked to see if you updated this mod. I haven't been keeping track of it. Thanks again.
