Other Features

Custom start positioner with improved handling of start biases
- If you have YnAMP then you must set Start Position Link to "Random" in order to use Got Lakes’ custom start positioner.
Various map-utility fixes to improve mountains, seas, lakes, rivers, coasts, cliffs, terrain, features, natural wonders, coastal lowlands, and placement of major civ starting positions.
Ensures that all land is reachable to settlers despite thick mountain ranges, cliffs, sheets of ice, and impassable natural wonders
Capable of enforcing naval circumnavigation

See Got Lakes versus Base Game for more info.

Compatibility

Got Lakes is caught up to the following Civ VI patch: Nov 25, 2024 (2K Launcher Removal)

FULLY compatible with the following:

All Civ VI expansions and DLC for regular games
Red Death / Battle Royale ruleset
Free City States (Revived)
Fungalfield Biome
JNR’s CB Savannah a.k.a. "Savannah"
JNR’s CB Wetlands a.k.a. "Wetlands"
Select Natural Wonders++
Sukritact’s Civ Selection Screen (beware that this one is not compatible with YnAMP)
Sukritact’s Oceans
TCS Pedialite
Terra Mirabilis, including wonders that have Lua overrides
Custom map sizes such as YnAMP and Larger Map Sizes
Custom frequency of natural wonders
Custom natural wonders that either extend Select Natural Wonders++ or simply extend the database (includes most custom wonders)
Custom resource mods such as Truly Abundant Resources, Resourceful 2, and Sukritact’s Resources
Custom goody huts and goody hut placement such as Good Goody Huts

PARTIALLY compatible with the following:

Civ6 Plus: Harmony in Diversity (up to 2.1 from Dec 1, 2025): supports gameplay overrides (including plot yields), swamps, resource-gen improvements, and goody hut improvements; other map-gen overrides will have no effect.
Customization VI: everything works except for the "Min Distance between" sliders which Got Lakes ignores.
Nere’s Inland Flooding and Climate Change: provides balance adjustments to things like flood barrier costs and CO2; Got Lakes has its own override for placement of coastal lowlands.
Teams Together Strong: allows teammates to start near each other in MP games; Got Lakes has its own start bias improvements so I recommend using TTS for team MP games only; also, TTS might not be compatible with Free City States (Revived).
YnAMP’s Culturally Linked / Relative Distance Starts: these will override Got Lakes’ custom start positioner unless you set Start Position Link to Random.

NOT compatible with the following:

Better Balanced Maps/Starts: has no effect on the custom start positioner
CanalsOnHills: prevents Got Lakes from generating hills.
Custom natural wonders that don’t meet the above-mentioned criteria: without explicit support from Got Lakes, you will never see these wonders on your maps.
Origin – Real Start Locations: has no effect; Got Lakes already has its own start bias improvements
YD’s Better Civil Engineering: prevents Got Lakes from generating hills.
