Civ 6 wiki modding mods#
Mods also load their code into the same database, which is found at the following location once all code for a particular game-session has been loaded: C:\Users\\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Cache The code loaded by the DLC and Expacs is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\DLC These Vanilla xml files are located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Base\Assets\Gameplay\DataĬode from DLC and Expacs is then loaded. The game's Vanilla xml files then fill the database with its needed contents. We as modders can add 1000 new rows to a given SQL game-table, but what each of those 1000 new rows does is entirely based upon what is programmed by Firaxis within the source-level DLL file, and will be the same for that table for each of these new rows within the given table.īase definitions for game-tables are done in SQL files in folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Base\Assets\Gameplay\Data\Schema Each SQL database table and each column within each table is "hooked-up" to an in-game effect by direct code within the game's controlling DLL. The effects of what is contained within the game's SQL database is determined by the contents of the C++ level source-code DLL file to which modders currently have no access in Civ6. In and of itself the contents within the SQL database do nothing. The contents of the game's SQL database are essentially text. Lua scripts cannot send alterations or make changes to this static state of the game database. Once all the data from Vanilla Civ6, the expacs, the DLC, and all enabled mods is loaded into the SQL database, the SQL database is locked and is no longer "dynamic" in any sense for the remainder of that play-session. The game's SQL database is constructed each time the game is loaded and/or mods are added to the list of enabled mods as the game either starts a new game or loads a saved game. In neither Civ5 nor Civ6 do lua scripts alter the contents of the game SQL database. Thanks in advance for any help provided and I look forward to diving headfirst into modding.
Civ 6 wiki modding mod#
I am making good progress in balancing the game how I would like to and will likely be posting more about that when it's further along see if people like my idea and eventually when the mod is done, try it and tell me what you think. Where in the database (what database table) is the science modifier penalty percentage stored for Civ 6? Is it in the DebugGameplay.Sql database somewhere or am I looking in the wrong place? Would I need to write an lua script instead perhaps? Where in the game files is it calculated in the first place and has anyone made mods to be able to change it in a simple way?Īlso, is there the same penalty for culture requirements? And are there any other calculations involved in calculating the science penalty than just the number of cities a player owns? With this, comes what I feel is the most important thing to achieve this a way to heavily penalise science (AND culture) requirements to unlock new techs and civics. I am getting into modding and would greatly like to rebalanced the entire game for wide empires to be punished much more and the one city challenge to be a viable player strategy.

In civilization 6 (and 5 as well and likely earlier versions as well), players are penalized a little by needing more science to research the same tech if they have more cities.
