Large nature shrine
A large 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 Large 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
Large nature shrines can be constructed, each requiring 300 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 3000 for SMVs) and 30,000 ticks (8.33 mins) of work modified by the construction speed of the builder and the work to build factor and offset of the material.
Summary
 | This article is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Raider avoidance mechanic - ensure parity with all other similar items. |
Large nature shrines are a natural meditation focus. They have a base meditation focus strength of 30%. Each animus stone within 9.9 tiles increases the meditation effectiveness by +2%, up to a total of four stones for a maximum of +8%.
Like other natural focus objects, its effectiveness is reduced by artificial buildings within a 34.9 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps. The reduction is set by the following curve:
| Artificial items in range |
Strength offset |
Graph |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0% | |
| 5 | − 6% | |
| 10 | −13% | |
| 50 | −30% |
The maximum meditation focus strength is thus 38% for a large nature shrine with no artificial buildings within 34.9 tiles and surrounded by four animus stones.
Large nature shrines also give +1% psyfocus per day to other nearby natural foci, for a total of +4% with four nature shrines.
Analysis
| This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Better comparison of nature options, and when to use this if ever. Some mention of other focus also valuable. |
As a natural meditation focus, the large nature shrine has +2% psyfocus / day compared to the anima tree, but does not have the anima tree linking ritual. Therefore, the anima tree is usually better for daily meditation.
The large nature shrine can be built when the anima tree is too far for natural pawns to be conveniently able to meditate at, and when the superior animus stone is unavailable. For boosting the strength of an anima tree, the small nature shrine is cheaper and gives the same amount of extra psyfocus.
