Builders Improvements Mod (BIM)

Description

Builders Improvements Mod (BIM) increases the build charges of the builders and they can build roads.

BIM is already integrated within Units Improvements Mod (UIM).

If you already use UIM, then you don’t need to install this mod.

I released this mod, that the players who only want the builders improvements can use this mod without UIM.

The AI uses the same values. I created a tutorial which you can use to customize BIM to your wishes.

Compatibility

– compatible with the current official game version and all DLCs
– compatible with all languages
– fully save game compatible after starting a new game
– compatible with all other mods which do not change the same values

Changes of the builders

– The build charges of the builders have been increased from 3 to 6
– Builders can build roads and railroads. Only one unit can manually build roads and railroads and it was the Military Engineer in vanilla.

Installation on Steam

1. Subscribe to BIM on Steam

2. Start Civilization 6

3. Go into the submenu "Additional Content" and check if Builders Improvements Mod (BIM) is activated.

4. Start a new game

Unfortunately it is not possible to add mods to an ongoing game. If you start a new game with BIM and I will update later BIM, then these changes will be recognized by the save game.

Tutorial – How to customize BIM

1. Open the Steam Mods Installation Folder of BIM

C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent289070878151038

2. Open the file BIM_Builders.xml with a text editor. This file can be edited with the normal Windows Text Editor.

I recommend to use Notepad ++ [notepad-plus-plus.org] as it displays the code extensively.

3. Below is an example how to change the build charges of the builders

4. Save the file

5. Launch CIVILIZATION 6 and activate Builders Improvements Mod (BIM)
