best psyfocus setup?
been trying to save my game since the update changed how my psykers work, and i'm having trouble keeping their psyfocus above 50%... and i've been trying to figure out - aside from nixing any other job they can do do in favour of sitting still all day - how best to maximize their gain vs. loss daily.

to that end... does anyone have any decent setups? like does having the meditation ring surrounded by statues do better then just one statue for artists? do walls affect anyone other then ascetics? floors? best materials and qualities for gain?

I've been frustrated with trying to keep the colonists psyfocus up. I've tried setting their schedule to several hours each day to meditation but even that is not enough for them to build their psyfocus up to anything usable.

For reference, I have two colonists with high enough rank to need a throne - one is a silver throne at legendary and the other is a silver grand throne at excellent. The rest I assigned meditation points based off of their bio: a psychopath and a cannibal medidate in my crypt, the rest meditate around art since I don't have any colonists with aesthetic. About half of my colonists are tribals but the anima tree is too far away from base to matter.

At this point, I just figured it's not worth the effort and am abandoning psycasts and sticking to guns for combat. Maybe the psyfocus loss and/or gain will be tweaked in the future or maybe not and I'm missing the complete obvious.
ive found for guys that like art to just put a bunch of small statues in a room (quality matters a litte) and just have him meditate for like 2 or 3 hours at the start of the day and replace their rec time with meditating since it fill their rec meter as well. For the crypt guys they get more when theres corpses in the graves or sarcophagus (sarcophagus is worth more and theres a bonus if hes related to the dead person) and i do the same setup as the art guys but i seem to have more success with artistic.

do the extra statues actually affect their gain rate, though? like i added a bunch of exc. quality large statues, but only one seems to apply the bonus?
