# Better Trade Screen



## Introduction

The goal of this mod is to improve the trade screens in Civilization VI and help manage and monitor running trade routes.



## Features

* Shows turns to complete a trade route rather than the distance between the cities.



* Overhauled *Trade Overview* screen.

	* Shows all possible routes, even if the trader is not present in the origin city.

	* Clicking on a route where a free trade unit is not present in the origin city takes you to a free trade unit and opens the *Change City* screen

	* Route entry is colored based on destination player.

	* Player/City header are also colored.

	* Shows origin city and destination city yields in the same screen.

	* Added **Group** and **Filter** settings

	* *My Routes* tab tracks active routes, so you know when a trade route completes.

* Sort bar in *Make Trade Route* screen and *Trade Overview* screen. Sort the routes by **left clicking** on a button.

* Trade Routes can be sorted based on yields, and turns remaining. Queue multiple sorts by holding **SHIFT** and the left clicking on a sort button. Right click on any sort button to remove it from the sort setting.

* When opening *Make Trade Route* screen, the last destination is automatically picked.



* Set a trader to repeat its last route by selecting the **Repeat Route** checkbox when initiating a trade route.

* An additional checkbox is provided that sets the trader to repeat the **top** route from the sort settings when the trade was initiated. This allows the trade route to always be the best one, hence reducing micromanagent of always checking the trade routes.



* Cancel the automated trader from the *My Routes* tab in **Trade Overview** screen.



## Installation

If you are using [Chao's QUI](https://github.com/chaorace/cqui), this mod is already included in it, and requires no extra steps to install. If you are **NOT** using CQUI, follow the steps below:



1. Download the latest release.

2. Extract the downloaded archive to your Mods folder. For me this is in *Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Mods*

3. Activate the Mod in *Additional Content* inside Civilization VI.



## Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with getting the mod working try the following steps:



1. Try installing the Mod into the DLC folder. This folder is the folder where you installed Civilization VI, example *C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\DLC*

2. Delete the cache. This can be found here - *Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Cache*

## FAQ

**I loaded a save game and the text is all broken?**

> This is a bug from Firaxis. To fix this you have to exit to **destop** and start Civilization VI again.



**I can't see yields for the destination city, where are they?**

>In the previous version, I had a string show that the destination city gains no benefits, but it lead to a lot of cluttering in the screen. Currently, if the destination city has no yield, you won't see any.



**Trade Overview panel does not open in between turns?**

>With v3.0 I blocked the Trade Overview panel from opening since it causes CTD. If you want to unblock this, change the following line in TradeOverview.lua

>

>`local blockPanelInBetweenTurns = true`

>

>to

>

>`local blockPanelInBetweenTurns = false`
