Anima tree and shrines

[Ronin75]

Hi,

is it beneficial to build a nature shrine next to an Anima tree for added bonuses, or is the Anima tree something that is good enough by itself to meditate and develop psy capabilities?

As far as I can tell no shrine or other structure grows anima grass except for the anima tree, so it is the only meditation object that can give you psychic levels. Colonists also don't seem to benefit from having multiple meditation objects within range of them as far as I can tell. If I'm mistaken I'd appreciate someone pointing that out. Even though meditation spots appear to link to multiple meditation objects, your colonist will only utilize one of the highest meditation strength objects.

Considering that the anima tree also has 30% meditation strength compared to 22% at a large nature shrine or 25% at an anima stone, there is no benefit at all for Nature focused individuals to meditate at anything besides an anima tree aside from maybe walk distance.

This is not entirely true. anima trees have a basevalue of 30% per day. As you may know build structures decrease this rate. However, every meditaion type building gets bonuses, by simmilar meditation type buildings i.e. a brazier gets a boost of +2% for every lit brazier for a max bonus of +16% per day. this is also the case for the anima tree and shrines/animastones. they have 30%+2%/anima stone up to 4 stones.

Yeah, as of version 1.2.2723 my previous statement is no longer true. Anima grass growth is now affected by nearby structures, anima trees benefit from up to 4 anima stones at +2% per stone like you mentioned, and there are now limits on how much anima grass can be grown per day.

In my defense, my ability to predict the future has always been pretty lackluster =)

At the time the comment was originally made, there was no bonus for nearby similar objects.
