Description
Climate Balance is an overhaul mod which tweaks various aspects of the climate system introduced with the Gathering Storm expansion. Climate change is no longer something that happens quickly and goes by without notable damages. Instead, it will take more CO2 emissions until the effects appear. But when they hit, they hit hard. More coastland will flood. Storms will become more frequent and violent. And you really start to wish those Flood Barriers weren't so expensive with all that flooding around and you desperately scramble to get rid of your power plants. Climate Balance got you covered in those cases as well.

Mods found under "CB" in mod manager.

Climate Balance - Complete Pack includes all components in one package.

However, for those who wish to prefer some customization or want to opt out of certain features because they are already using another mod for it, the components are available individually as well (underlined components are included in the Complete Pack):
  • More Coastal Flooding due to global warming: 60% - 80% - 100% - Complete Pack uses a setting of 65%.
  • Decommission Power Plants: Power Plants running on Coal, Oil, or Uranium can be decommissioned at any time after unlocking the Environmentalim civic. Rebalanced the role of decommissioning in the Climate Accords.
  • Severe Weather - Climate Disaster Tweaked: Storms, floods, and droughts become more frequent as climate change progresses.
  • Slower Global Warming: x1.5 - x2 - x3.
  • Clean Nuclear Power: reduces the CO2 caused by using uranium for power or for units by 75%.
  • Flood Barrier Cost Scaling Adjustment: Flood Barrier cost no longer scales with the number of floodable tiles in the city, but has a higher base cost and is much more expensive to purchase directly.
  • Carbon Recapture Unlocked by Tech: Carbon Recapture project unlocks at 60% efficiency from Smart Materials tech. Global Warming Mitigation civic brings it to full capacity and is required for the Favor bonus (which has been reduced by half).
  • Deforestation: More Gradual and Severe: adds more deforestation stages to make the progression smoother and to increase the impact of the most severe deforestation.

Recommended addition (not included in the Complete Pack): Renewable Energy Complexity
This mod provides additional features to renewable energy, including the ability to transfer renewable energy between cities.

Compatibility
Warning:These mods do stack with each other. Example: "100% Slower Climate Change" (twice as slow) and "200% Slower Climate Change" (three times as low) together will together make climate change appear six times slower. This effect happens with mods from other authors as well, so use with caution. Especially mods making the game slower in general (e.g. "8 Ages of Pace") already slow down climate change. In these cases I recommend not tweaking the number further with mods from this collection unless you have experienced some matches with the mod and want to slow it down even further. Rule of thumb: Don't use two mods which do the same thing.

Severe Weather: Climate Disasters Tweaked
Created by JNR
Tweaks the damage and yield patterns for climate related disasters and makes them more unique. Hurricanes now focus their damage even more on coastal land and are devastating for ships. Tornados damage buildings heavily. Dust storms are bad for civilian an...
Deforestation: More Gradual and Severe
Created by JNR
Adds more stages of deforestation in order to represent the current level of deforestation better as well as making the effects of the most dramatic deforestation more severe. Higher rewards for re-foresting, higher punishments for massive deforestation. P...
Carbon Recapture Unlocked by Tech
Created by JNR
Moves Carbon Recapture to the tech tree and rebalances it. By default, it now provides only 60% of the reduction and no Favor. Unlocking the "Global Warming Mitigation" civic (its original prerequisite) upgrades it to provide the remaining 40% of CO2 reduc...
Decommission Power Plants
Created by JNR
Power Plants running on Coal, Oil, or Uranium can be decommissioned at any time after unlocking the Environmentalim civic. The project cost has been significantly reduced. Rebalanced the role of decommissioning in the Climate Accords. The project no longer...
Clean Nuclear Power
Created by JNR
Reduces the CO2 emissions of Nuclear Power Plants and uranium-powered units significantly (by a factor of 4). One unit of uranium now produces only 25% as much CO2 as before: 12g / kWh. As Firaxis used numbers as reported by the IPCC in 2014 (median values...
Flood Barriers Cost Scaling Adjustment
Created by JNR
Changes the cost of Flood Barriers so that they no longer scale with the number of tiles threatened by flooding. The cost still scales with the sea level itself. This mod is intended to be used alongside mods which raise the number of floodable tiles which...
3x Slower Global Warming
Created by JNR
Slows down global warming by requiring more CO2 to be emitted for each degree temperature rise. 200% more CO2 required with this mod (one third of the original speed). This mod is a standalone component of the "Climate Balance" mod collection and requires ...
2x Slower Global Warming
Created by JNR
Slows down global warming by requiring more CO2 to be emitted for each degree temperature rise. 100% more CO2 required with this mod (half speed). This mod is a standalone component of the "Climate Balance" mod collection and requires Gathering Storm (link...
1.5x Slower Global Warming
Created by JNR
Slows down global warming by requiring more CO2 to be emitted for each degree temperature rise. 50% more CO2 required with this mod. This mod is a standalone component of the "Climate Balance" mod collection and requires Gathering Storm (link to collection...
More Coastal Flooding: 100%
Created by JNR
Increases the number of tiles getting flooded due to global warming from 45% of coastal lowlands to 100%. Waiting for the aquatic apocalypse but it never comes? Burned all the world's coal and oil but only a few tiles submerged? In this version ALL ELIGIBL...
More Coastal Flooding: 80%
