Resource (Civ6)

Resources are special commodities found in limited quantities on the map. When a resource is "worked" via a tile improvement, it provides a bonus for your colony. Bonuses vary from increased tile yield (production, food, etc.), a strategic resource for military, or by providing Amenities for your civilization.
