Hey, I tried out this mod, and the intended changes to the in-game text aren't showing up. Comparing this to another mod that I've downloaded, I suspect that text changes have to be placed in a separate file, though I could be way off.

Can third the problem, the mod had been working fine, but recently stopped working. Not much in Database.log besides
[415057.109] In XMLSerializer while updating table Features from file WorkableMountains.xml.
so I don't know what specifically is happening.

same problem as gerish
Gerishnakov 15 Mar, 2020 @ 8:07am 
I have no idea why but, despite recent usage with no problems, enabling this now is suddenly causing no yield icons to be displayed in game. Are there any obvious conflicts I should be aware of?

I could kiss you for this mod, lol, fantastic!!

@SushiSquid: There's a reason observatories are better on top of mountains rather than '2 tiles away' from them. There would be no benefit from mountains that way. (Like building an observatory in a spot that's always cloudy. Not particularly useful.)

@gabes2531: Did you wait for the DL to finish? Did you start a new game before checking? I f so, then perhaps try the direct DL link on top.

I am subscribed to this mod but it isn't showing up in my mods list when I try to set up a game. I checked my MODS folder but it's not there either. Can someone explain what to do? Is it a case of Steam being broken or what?

Odd bug is happening on my games. Carthage's units can't cross mountains anymore with this mode activated.
renzino 16 Aug, 2019 @ 12:04pm 
Nice mod. But I can't build observatory when my cities are next to naturals wonders like Cero de Potosi, Kilimandjaro or Grand Mesa.... Is it normal ?
Ultra-Violent Radiation 9 Jun, 2019 @ 8:49pm 
Mountains on mines, +production or +gold (tho that'd require workers to go on mountains, and even then they'd take massive damage from attrition).
Doctor G 18 Dec, 2018 @ 11:45pm 
mountains produce great amounts commerical tourism, not sure why they do not produce coin.
ExtremeDiaper 19 Dec, 2017 @ 4:13pm 
Will the AI civs work mountains?
Willimeister 21 Nov, 2017 @ 3:26pm 
playing with mods disables achievments anyway
Munseman 17 Nov, 2017 @ 12:33pm 
Does this mod disable achievements?
Onennon 30 May, 2017 @ 12:06pm 
I'd get this, but I like to play against Gandi (Whom I've renamed Dik Dik) trapped in mountains and surrounded by fallout. I can play alone.:skull_happy:
PEPSOG 18 May, 2017 @ 2:20pm 
I've downloaded the mod, and activated it too, but I can't work the mountains. Any way to fix this?
Human The Tree 8 Feb, 2017 @ 1:27pm 
Do mountain natural wonders recieve the boost? Maybe this can finally make the Grand Mesa worth it.
Yahu 1 Feb, 2017 @ 7:41am 
Desert Folklore not stacking properly on desert mountain tiles. Desert folklore and Petra always made desert mountains workable. Desert hills with plenty of mountians is a great starting city for Inca civ.
BrJason 20 Dec, 2016 @ 10:00am 
Why wouldn't mountains be workable? This is more of a fix than a pure mod. Thanks!
NemesisGene 31 Oct, 2016 @ 4:03am 
I have no idea why, but with V2 installed all starter / created units in my new game had a bugged "Himeji Castle" promotion. Hopefully it's just me >_<
[Redacted] 2 Oct, 2016 @ 7:24pm 
please update it i would love to work on the mountains
Shishiyon! 19 Aug, 2016 @ 11:12pm 
Really have enjoyed the benefits from the mountains. (Really makes me feel less silly for settling next to a mountain cluster) However, I was wondering why it was that the observatory could not be built on natural wonder mountains? I suppose the game may not consider them mountains, but it would be nice all the same. Thanks!
D. Rivera 13 Jun, 2016 @ 9:21pm 
Just replace the Workable Mountains(v2).modinfo with the file you download. The file you'll need to replace is in the MODS folder. The directory is something like This PC/Documents/My Games/ Sid Meier's Civilization5/ MODS. Or at least that's what it is for me.
Andrés 13 Jun, 2016 @ 3:43pm 
HELP i have the same problem as captainwhizfiz!!!!!
D. Rivera 13 Jun, 2016 @ 1:10pm 
Same as Captainwhiz!
Captainwhizfiz 13 Jun, 2016 @ 12:25pm 
i updated your mod just now and I can't access my save! How do i get the previous version? I've put 15 hours into this save!:steamsad:
Keukotis  [author] 12 Jun, 2016 @ 4:50pm 
There we go. The file's ID has changed because I had to rebuild it on my new machine, but make sure not to load it with version 1. I've made it compatible with Community Patch, plus added Broadcast Tower to the buildings that affect mountain yield.
Chase 3 Jun, 2016 @ 2:11pm 
wow i feel really dumb now.:steamsad:
Keukotis  [author] 3 Jun, 2016 @ 2:08pm 
The description above tells you everything you need to know.
Chase 2 Jun, 2016 @ 2:36pm 
So is there a certain tech that is needed to make the mt's yeild stuff or should they be producing stuff immediately? I placed a city right next to a mt and it didn't give any tile yeilds.
dninemfive 1 Jun, 2016 @ 4:51pm 
Thanks for the help. I wasn't sure if that would work, but thanks for testing it.
Keukotis  [author] 1 Jun, 2016 @ 4:26pm 
Upon testing, it seems simply adding the <Impassable>true</Impassable> tag to my mountain yield feature makes it work correctly. Mountains once again become impassible, but Carthage can still cross after their first Great General. In fact, this won't affect the performance of this mod and will make it compatible with the Community Patch, so I'll probably make an update to this file.

I'll have to reinstall this game's mod tools to upload it, but I'll get around to that. For now, you can add the impassible tag yourself anywhere in the information for the mountain yield feature and it should work, but I will upload that change at some point.
dninemfive 30 May, 2016 @ 10:13pm 
No, units aren't supposed to, at least according to the change list. Looking through the CP files, in SaneTerrain.sql, they have edited mountains to "[be treated] as a normal tile which is simply impassable without the proper trait." It sets their movement cost to 3, which might be overriden by your feature (with a movement cost of 1) where it wouldn't normally.

But I don't know, I'm just starting to learn Civ modding and I don't know how the terrain functions under the hood.
Keukotis  [author] 30 May, 2016 @ 8:49pm 
Oh! You're saying they aren't supposed to be able to. I just assumed the Community Patch did that intentionally (I didn't read through its long change list). Do you know off-hand what the Community Patch did to mountains that conflicts with this?
dninemfive 30 May, 2016 @ 8:11pm 
Well my problem was *that* units could enter mountain tiles. It breaks Carthage's UA (more than it already is) and makes mountains less valuable tactically.
Keukotis  [author] 30 May, 2016 @ 8:09pm 
I recently reinstalled this game and I'm using this now with Community Patch, IGE, and plenty of other mods. My units and the AI can enter mountain tiles just fine. Perhaps it's a problem of load order? That often matters when modding games, but it's difficult to mess with load order in Civ V, so I couldn't tell you the ideal load order or how to achieve it.
dninemfive 30 May, 2016 @ 7:50pm 
Just so you know, this mod seems to conflict with Community Patch, so that units can enter mountain tiles. Only mods used were Workable Mountains (latest ver.), Community Patch (v 72), and IGE (latest).

It might have to do with the fact that the "Mountain Yield" feature has a set movement cost of 1, although this isn't a problem without Community Patch (testing with IGE only worked fine).
Butterworth 13 May, 2016 @ 1:47pm 
@SushiSquid - thank you for the answer and for the great mod.
Keukotis  [author] 8 May, 2016 @ 3:55am 
@Butterworth
The AI will treat mountain tiles with a yield just as it would treat any other tile with a yield. So it will work them if it has enough citizens or just calculates them to be better for its current goal than other workable tiles.
Maitre Supreme 7 May, 2016 @ 9:43am 
Great mod - THX
Butterworth 7 May, 2016 @ 4:25am 
Does the AI use this Mod (ie. does it work the mountain tiles?)
Ematic 3 Apr, 2016 @ 12:56pm 
@SushiSquid
Yes! It worked perfectly! Many thanks!
Ematic 29 Mar, 2016 @ 11:42am 
@SushiSquid
Ok I'll try to do as you say and will post the results. For now, thanks for the support!

@ErManuele
Very common issue with the Workshop. To fix it, you can try deleting the file Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 5/cache/Civ5ModsDatabase.db in order to force the game to reevaluate which mods it has actually downloaded. Doing this will uncheck all mods.

However, you may simply have reached the weird limit the Workshop has. If you have too many mods subscribed (I don't know the actual number), the game will simply not recognize the rest of them. Copy your mods to somewhere else, unsubscribe from them, then stick them back in. Once you're under the limit again, the game will start grabbing new mods that you subscribe to, although you may still have to delete the Civ5ModsDatabase file to force it to recheck everything.
Ematic 26 Mar, 2016 @ 12:31pm 
I subscribed this mod but there's no way to make it available in the mod list in the game menu. What' wrong?
Venusaisha 3 Nov, 2015 @ 6:01am 
well worth knowing anyway. i gone several through resorting mods trying to avoid bumps,crashs,bugs while trying to get good game within history/story concepts.
Keukotis  [author] 3 Nov, 2015 @ 5:53am 
InGameEditor definitely doesn't conflict. I always have that on, and I'm convinced it's the greatest mod ever made for this game. It would have been impossible for me to test all of the work I did on my many mods without that editor.
Venusaisha 3 Nov, 2015 @ 2:35am 
http://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=77002777&searchtext=ige or north pole civilization may conflict with workable mountians me think
