[0.804][Bug][Gameplay] building on resources

Even when you're in the area of influence this can happen. Was wondering why I couldn't build my Scenic View building but it was showing as buildable. A few turns later, I could build it.

Did you have a building in an adjacent tile before/after you were able to build on Scenic View?

I had this problem with a Gold Deposit that was 2 tiles from the nearest building. After building a hut adjacent to the deposit, I was able to build the deposit (inside city borders both times, and all listed requirements met both times).

It might be an unintended(?) side effect of:

+ Changed citybuilding so that you can no longer destroy an improvement that would
make your city non-contiguous. This shoud fix all of our city weirdness,
including broken walls.

If you can no longer destroy buildings that would make a city non-continguous, does that mean that you can no longer create buildings that would have the same effect (or are they allowed but considered outside of city walls)?

I have now found myself unable to build refugee camps, gem mines, gold mines, shards and oasies - all seemingly at random.

Sometime they became build-able when I had buildings in adjacent tiles, sometimes when a city levelled up (although on these improvements I thought there were no level restrictions), other times never.

It's quite annoying, I used the spell "beautifull land" to have a big garden to harvest, it's on the build menu but when i click on it i have no possibilty to place it. same problem with other ressources but it seems to be random.

Sometimes ressource becomes available for building when the city level up. I don't know if there is a problem with the city zone of influence because the ressource is always inside it. I always asked myself if a ressource need to be inside the city wall or inside the city zone.

edit: i was not sure of the spell name, sorry, it's not beautifull land, it's garden or garden something don't remember exactly, well you see what spell i'm talking about.

Beautify land doesn't make wild gardens, I don't think.

As far as I can tell, your cities influence must surpass the resorce you wish to build on by one extra space..

You might be on to somehting here - this is why I was able to build on an oasis once my city levelled up.
