How to remove luxury resources civ 6?
In Civilization VI, you can't directly "remove" luxury resources that are on the map, but there are ways to work around them or eliminate their benefits:
What you CAN do:
-
Pillage with military units - Move a military unit onto the resource and use the "Pillage" action. This destroys the improvement but the resource remains.
-
Remove with mods - The "Sukritact's Simple UI Adjustments" mod allows you to remove features including resources.
-
Settle elsewhere - Simply don't work the tile with that luxury resource.
-
Use strategic placement - District placement can sometimes remove the resource if you place it on that tile.
Important limitations: - No vanilla method to completely delete luxury resources - Pillaging only removes the improvement, not the underlying resource - The resource will still count for diplomatic purposes if it was providing amenities
Workaround strategy: If a luxury resource is in an inconvenient spot for city planning, consider settling your city center one tile away from optimal location to avoid dealing with that resource tile entirely.
The game is designed to make resources permanent features of the map, so removal isn't really intended in the base game mechanics.
