About the Civ 6 Adjacency Planner
The Civ 6 Adjacency Planner/Calculator is a specialized tool designed for Civilization VI players who want to maximize their district yields. Whether you are aiming for a +10 Industrial Zone or ensuring your Campus gets the critical +3 Era Score, this tool handles the complex math of the Gathering Storm expansion.
Why Use This Calculator?
Civilization VI uses a complex set of rules for "adjacency bonuses." A Campus gets bonuses from Mountains, but differ based on whether it's adjacent to a Reef or Rainforest. Civs like Japan and Brazil have unique overrides. This tool allows you to:
- Simulate exact placements before committing in-game production.
- Calculate complex bonuses like Industrial Zone chains (Aqueducts & Dams).
- Visualize "Sim City" layouts for Japan or Germany.
- Check appeal bonuses for Australia.
Supports All Major Strategies
- Industrial Zones: Calculate the perfect Aqueduct + Dam + Canal setup.
- Campuses: Plan around Geothermal Fissures and Reefs.
- Holy Sites: Optimize for desert folklore or tundra pantheons (using terrain selectors).
- Government Plaza: Remember to place this central district to boost everything around it.
Best Practices for District Placement
1. The Triangle Strategy: Placing three districts in a triangle allows them to buff each other. This is especially powerful for Japan (Meiji Restoration).
2. The Government Plaza Core: Always try to surround your Government Plaza with your weakest adjacency districts, as it provides a standard +1 bonus to everything.
3. Industrial Zone Diamonds: Use two cities to place two Aqueducts and two Industrial Zones in a diamond shape for massive production.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include Gathering Storm rules?
Yes. This calculator uses the latest ruleset from Gathering Storm and New Frontier Pass, including changes to Industrial Zones and strategic resources.
How do I get a +4 Campus?
To get a +4 Campus without a policy card, you typically need 2 Mountains (+2) and a Geothermal Fissure (+2), or 4 Mountains. As Australia, a Breathtaking tile immediately adds +3.
