If your colonist has the Nature meditation type, which requires a childhood or adult backstory that gives it, set up a meditation spot next to the anima tree and set meditation as part of their schedule. Once enough Anima Grass has grown, you can select the colonist and right click the tree to link with it and gain a psychic level.

Nature meditation type specifically comes from tribal backstories, so they'll need to be a starting colonist in the tribal start or they'll need to be a tribal pawn that you recruited or bought as a slave.
Also the pawn that gains the psylink level doesn't need to be one that has actually meditated at the tree, there simply needs to be enough grass and they need to have nature meditation available.

So if the character mediate long enough would thet get a psylink eventually?

[HunterSilver]

No, just meditating will not be enough. You also need sufficient Anima Grass and then you can tell them to link with the Anima Tree.

[Syndicake ☠]

Have a tribal pawn meditate near the anima tree by putting down a meditiation spot and assigning to them then schedule meditation time, you can tell from their backstory if they have the nature meditation type if they are tribal.

Once the anima tree has 20 grass (takes a few days of meditation) then you can right click the anima tree and gain psylink. Rinse and repeat until transcendant.

Sound my case is the lack of character with the backstory to use natural Anima grass, given I have the grass but cannot harvest it.

meh I rather go play my other royal scenario then.

Your screenshot has no Anima Grass in it. Only the Anima Tree.

[Aieonae]

Oh so the grass can allow me to have psylink? It says I can harvest from the tree?

[Praeceptorem Poloniae]

You can't harvest anima grass to have psylink per se, but said grass is used in linking ritual (right click on tree with tribal pawn when it's ready) where your pawn has to sit near tree for 4-5 hours to get level in psy capabilities

[Aieonae]

This is getting confusing... to conclude I can level via the tree or the grass if only I have a psylink skill to begin with?

With "Lu" it will not work, because she has no natural background. Click on the info tab to find out where she can meditate.

You need a character who has natural focus. He / she then needs to meditate at the anima tree until 20 anima grass has grown and then you can psylink him / her to the anima tree.

natural psylinklink is done via 2 steps:

1. meditate at the anime tree with pawns that have a Tribal backstory (those unlock the nature meditation option). doing so will cause anima grass to grow around the tree.

2. once theres enough anima grass grown (i think it was 18 for first level) you can begin the linking ritual with the pawn you want to be your psycaster

I see so this tree is useless to me then XD

For now, yes. Later you will likely get pawns with tribal backstories, who will be capable of meditating at and linking with the tree.

Many thanks all.
