Bonus Resource Improvements

Bonus Resources live up to their name: This mod adds a unique bonus to every bonus resource which it provides to any city having a tile with it. These bonuses include a total of 5 new improvements as well as major mechanical changes to how you will plan your cities.

Supports Maya & Gran Colombia Pack, Wetlands, Latin American Resources, and Sukritact’s Resources with unique bonuses to resources added by those mods (CIVITAS Resources does not add any bonus resources). Resourceful 2 is supported, its resources will be grouped under existing bonuses, however.

I know I said Urban Complexity was complete, so consider this the encore. I had halted development due to the memory leak bug because originally I wanted a new improvement and non-improvement bonus for every bonus resource. However, I have decided to release what I already have created, cutting it down to one overall boon per resource. While not originally intended, I think this resulted in a more polished mod design that adds meaningful changes to city planning instead of just bloat.
