## FAQs
- Do I need the DLC to play this?
- Yes, you need both Rise & Fall and Gathering Storm.
- You need both expansions, Rise & Fall and Gathering Storm. You do not need the other DLCs but they fully work with this.
- Does this work with Multiplayer?
- It does not and, despite my best efforts, probably won't until there's a new way for external programs to be able to interact with the game.
- Does my mod that reskins Barbarians as various Pro Wrestlers work with this?
- Only one way to find out! Any mods that modify techs/civics will most likely cause issues, though.
- Does this work with other mods?
- A lot of mods seem to work without issues combined with this, but you should avoid any mods that change things in the tech or civic tree, as even if they would work it could cause issues with the logic.
- "Help! I can't see any of the items that have been sent to me!"
- Both trees by default will show you the researchable Archipelago locations. To view the normal tree, you can click "Toggle Archipelago Tree" in the top-left corner of the tree view.
- "Oh no! I received the Machinery tech and now instead of getting an Archer next turn, I have to wait an additional 10 turns to get a Crossbowman!"
- Vanilla prevents you from building units of the same class from an earlier tech level after you have researched a later variant. For example, this could be problematic if someone unlocks Crossbowmen for you right out the gate since you won't be able to make Archers (which have a much lower production cost).
Solution: You can now go in to the tech tree, click "Toggle Archipelago Tree" to view your unlocked techs, and then can click any tech you have unlocked to toggle whether it is currently active or not.

- "How does DeathLink work? Am I going to have to start a new game every time one of my friends dies?"
- Heavens no, my fellow Archipelago appreciator. When configuring your Archipelago options for Civilization on the options page, there are several choices available for you to fine tune the way you'd like to be punished for the follies of your friends. These include: Having a random unit destroyed, losing a percentage of gold or faith, or even losing a point on your era score. If you can't make up your mind, you can elect to have any of them be selected every time a death link is sent your way.
In the event you lose one of your units in combat (this means captured units don't count), then you will send a death link event to the rest of your friends.

## Boostsanity
Boostsanity takes all of the Eureka & Inspiration events and makes them location checks. This feature is the one to change up the way Civilization is played in an AP multiworld/randomizer. What normally are mundane tasks that are passively collected now become a novel and interesting bucket list that you need to pay attention to in order to unlock items for yourself and others!

- The unpredictable timing of boosts and unlocking them can occasionally lead to scenarios where you'll have to first encounter a locked era defeat and then load a previous save. To help reduce the frequency of this, local `PROGRESSIVE_ERA` items will never be located at a boost check.
- There's too many boosts, how will I know which one's I should focus on?!
- In order to give a little more focus to all the boosts rather than just arbitrarily picking them at random, items in both of the vanilla trees will now have an advisor icon on them if its associated boost contains a progression item.

1. Download and unzip the latest release of the mod from [GitHub](https://github.com/hesto2/civilization_archipelago_mod/releases/latest).
2. Copy the folder containing the mod files to your Civ VI mods folder. On Windows, this is usually located at `C:\Users\YOUR_USER\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Mods`. If you use OneDrive, check if the folder is instead located in your OneDrive file structure.
2. Copy the folder containing the mod files to your Civ VI mods folder. On Windows, this is usually located at `C:\Users\YOUR_USER\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Mods`. If you use OneDrive, check if the folder is instead located in your OneDrive file structure, and use that path when relevant in future steps.
3. After the Archipelago host generates a game, you should be given a `.apcivvi` file. Associate the file with the Archipelago Launcher and double click it.
4. Copy the contents of the new folder it generates (it will have the same name as the `.apcivvi` file) into your Civilization VI Archipelago Mod folder. If double clicking the `.apcivvi` file doesn't generate a folder, you can just rename it to a file ending with `.zip` and extract its contents to a new folder. To do this, right click the `.apcivvi` file and click "Rename", make sure it ends in `.zip`, then right click it again and select "Extract All".
4. Copy the contents of the new folder it generates (it will have the same name as the `.apcivvi` file) into your Civilization VI Archipelago Mod folder. If double clicking the `.apcivvi` file doesn't generate a folder, you can instead open it as a zip file. You can do this by either right clicking it and opening it with a program that handles zip files, or by right clicking and renaming the file extension from `apcivvi` to `zip`.
5. Your finished mod folder should look something like this:
- Civ VI Mods Directory
- civilization_archipelago_mod
- NewItems.xml
- InitOptions.lua
- Archipelago.modinfo
- All the other mod files, etc.
5. Place the files generated from the `.apcivvi` in your archipelago mod folder (there should be five files placed there from the apcivvi file, overwrite if asked). Your mod path should look something like `C:\Users\YOUR_USER\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Mods\civilization_archipelago_mod`.
## Configuring your game
When configuring your game, make sure to start the game in the Ancient Era and leave all settings related to starting technologies and civics as the defaults. Other than that, configure difficulty, AI, etc. as you normally would.
Make sure you enable the mod in the main title under Additional Content > Mods.

## Troubleshooting
- If you have troubles with file extension related stuff, make sure Windows shows file extensions as they are turned off by default. If you don't know how to turn them on it is just a quick google search away.
- If you are getting an error: "The remote computer refused the network connection", or something else related to the client (or tuner) not being able to connect, it likely indicates the tuner is not actually enabled. One simple way to verify that it is enabled is, after completing the setup steps, go to Main Menu → Options → Look for an option named "Tuner" and verify it is set to "Enabled"
- If your game gets in a state where someone has sent you items or you have sent locations but these are not correctly sent to the multiworld, you can run `/resync` from the Civ 6 client. This may take up to a minute depending on how many items there are.

This may take up to a minute depending on how many items there are. This can resend certain items to you, like one time bonuses.
- If the archipelago mod does not appear in the mod selector in the game, make sure the mod is correctly placed as a folder in the `Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Mods` folder, there should not be any loose files in there only folders. As in the path should look something like `C:\Users\YOUR_USER\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Mods\civilization_archipelago_mod`.
- If it still does not appear make sure you have the right folder, one way to verify you are in the right place is to find the general folder area where your Civ VI save files are located.
- If you get an error when trying to start a game saying `Error - One or more Mods failed to load content`, make sure the files from the `.apcivvi` are placed into the `civilization_archipelago_mod` as loose files and not as a folder.
- If you still have any errors make sure the two expansions Rise & Fall and Gathering Storm are active in the mod selector (all the official DLC works without issues but Rise & Fall and Gathering Storm are required for the mod).
- If boostsanity is enabled and those items are not being sent out but regular techs are, make sure you placed the files from your new room in the mod folder.
