The Basic Resource will be destroyed but who cares as it was not being used.After having gathered a lot of experience in modding with the 'Awesome Collection' and now having spent almost a year of work on this mod I'm happy to finally release Codex, a one-person-project that reworks almost every aspect of the game and introduces some completely new features to add more depth and more interesting decisions. I like to put it on a Basic Resource outside the 36 nearest tiles. In the end game you may be asked where you want to put the game-winning Mind Flower. Because the hexes (beyond the nearest 36) can be used as Strategic Resources, I've ended up with 50 Fire Exits.

I like to launch Orbital Fabricators - these create Strategic Resources, provided that you haven't built an improvement there (Magrail doesn't count). Sometimes your city will reach out there, for no reason, just so you can have some Fruit that can't be worked. Fruit out there are completely fruitless. the Lev Tank needs Floatystone.īasic Resources (Gold, Silicon, Fruit, Giant Maggots, etc) that are beyond the 36 nearest hexes are completely useless as they can't be worked. This is so you can use the Strategic Resource in trades, or to build buildings and eunuchs e.g. As you accumulate culture, your city will reach out to these automatically, as you have experienced. If you prioritise food and growth it maybe you can utilise the full 36.īeyond the 36, the only thing that matters is Strategic Resources (which are Oil, GeoThermal Underwear, Titnium, Floatystone, and Fire Exit). It's also worth remembering that if a tile is 6 tiles away from the city it will NEVER be reached. Practically, this means that when choosing a city location, a few mountains and canyons probably won't limit city growth, imo. My capital won't reach a size that can work 36 hexes before the game ends. However, the way I play the game the answer is about 30. If you avoid canyons, mountains and other cities, the theoretical maximum is 36 hexes.

Your question was: 'what is the maximum number of hexes a city can end up using?'
