'''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 for your empire. To work a resource you need to either construct a specific improvement with a [[builder]] (on land) or expending a {{Fishing Boats}} [[Fishing Boats]] (see [[Tile Improvements]]). Bonuses vary from increased yield (production, food, etc.) to a number of units of Iron, Uranium, Gold or some other strategic or luxury resources necessary for producing specific units and buildings, usually as well as for providing more happiness to your {{Citizens}} [[Citizens]].

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 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 Icon improvement 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 Icon citizen Citizens.

Bonus resources[ | ]

Bonus resources provide local yield boosts of Icon main food food, Icon main production production, or Icon main gold gold when improved.

Bonus resources 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.[1]

Sheep Sheep +1 Icon main food Food Icon improvement pasture Pasture -
Stone Stone +1 Icon main production Production Icon improvement quarry Quarry -
Wheat Wheat +1 Icon main food Food Icon improvement farm Farm +1 Icon main food with Water Mill

Strategic resources[ | ]

These resources are required to build certain units. 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 Icon Amenities Amenities to cities. A city can only benefit from a single luxury resource once. By default each unique luxury resource provides 4 Icon Amenities Amenities (i.e. +1 Icon 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.
