[quote who="Nedryel" reply="6" id="2558600"] And I'm not sure you need resources to be adjacent to harvest them. I did harvest one that was 2 tiles away from my city limit (orchard). Even though I found it weird, I didn't screen it because I didn't know wether it should be impossible or not.[/quote] The rules about building stuff over resources are not clear in the game inho, I can't make heads or tails of it really, I think it's distance from the city center.
