Small nature shrine

Small nature shrine

A small shrine for honoring spiritual beings. Tribal psycasters can focus on this shrine while meditating to increase psyfocus gain. Nature shrines lose their power if they are close to artificial structures, so they are always built in nature. Since they look like natural objects to unobservant outsiders, raiders will generally ignore them.

A Small nature shrine is a type of furniture added by the Royalty DLC at which a pawn can meditate for recreation and to regain psyfocus.

Acquisition

The Small Nature Shrine can be built with  150 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 1500 for SMVs) in 15,000 ticks (4.17 mins).

Summary

Small nature shrines are a natural meditation focus. They have a base meditation focus strength of 22%. Each animus stone within 10 tiles increases the meditation effectiveness by 2%, up to a total of 4 stones for a maximum of +8%.

Like the anima tree, its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

Artificial items in range	0	5	10	50
Strength Offset	-0%	-6%	-12%	-22%

N.B. It is currently unclear if the following values are cut offs, or points in a processed curve fit to those values.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus 30% for a small nature shrine with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 animus stones.

Small nature shrines also give +1% psyfocus / day to other nearby natural foci, for a total of +4% with 4 nature shrines.

Analysis

Small nature shrines can be used to boost the psyfocus gain of the anima tree. If you can obtain them, animus stones are superior, but animus stones aren't a common item.

They can also be used for psyfocus if the anima tree is unavailble. The large nature shrine gives +8% psyfocus for only 150 wood / stone / steel more. If you cannot justify the cost of the large nature shrine, then the small shrine is a subsitute.
