Editing Resource

'''Resources''' are special commodities found in limited quantities on the map. In ''[[Civilization VI]]'', when a resource is worked (or there's [[production]]), it provides bonuses to an empire. To work a resource, players need to use a [[builder]] to either construct a specific [[tile improvement]] (on land) or build a {{Fishing Boats}} [[Fishing Boats]] (on water), or they can settle a City on top of the resource. Bonuses range from an increased yield (production, food, etc.) to gaining access to a number of strategic and luxury resources such as Iron, Uranium, and Gold, some of which are necessary for producing specific units and buildings. Resources also provide more happiness to {{Citizens}} [[Citizens]].

==Bonus resources==
Bonus resources provide local yield boosts of {{Food}} [[food]], {{Production}} [[production]], or {{Gold}} [[gold]] when improved.

They may be harvested, which permanently removes the resource in return for 25 times their yield (on Normal speed).

Founding a city on a bonus resource does not grant any additional resource yield beyond the resource yield already shown on the tile. This means a city does not act like an improvement on a bonus resource.<ref>https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/289301/are-there-any-consequences-of-placing-a-city-on-a-resource</ref>

==Strategic resources==
These resources are required to build certain [[unit]]s. Most are invisible until revealed by a particular [[technology]]. 

Building the appropriate improvement on a strategic resource gives access to 1 copy of that resource. With 2 copies of a strategic resource any City may build any number of units requiring that strategic resource. A City with the appropriate district (Encampment, Harbor, or Aerodrome) or a civilization with the [[Resource Management]] policy (unlocked by [[Conservation]]) only requires 1 copy.

Unique units never require strategic resources.

Founding a city on a strategic resource provides the strategic resource but not the resource yields.

==Luxury resources==
These resources provide {{Amenities}} [[Amenities]] to cities. A city can only benefit from a single luxury resource once. By default each unique luxury resource provides 4 {{Amenities}} [[Amenities]] (i.e. +1 {{Amenities}} [[Amenities]] to each of up to 4 cities), however, a few provide 6. Having more than one copy of a luxury resource provides no additional direct benefit, but they may be traded away to other civilizations.

Founding a city on a luxury resource provides the luxury resource as well as the resource yields.

==Artifact resources==
Artifacts can be unearthed by [[Archaeologist]]s after building an [[Archaeological Museum]]. They function as [[Great Works]] and are stored in the Archaeological Museum of the City where the Archaeologist was built.

The [[Terracotta Army]] Wonder allows [[Archaeologist]]s to enter foreign lands without Open Borders.
