Whats the point of relics, once you get them

[Holy]

So i build a nice temple but it pointless I dont get any benefit from that ultra expansive room. And the amount of resource i putted there and the trouble I had to go through the quest to get it, it become 100% useless when the quest are done

it forces the game to begin spawning in pilgrims of your faith to come visit and a few other things if its placed in a reliquary.

[Fyredrakon]

1: if its a weapon, its automatically a legendary quality weapon, so use at your own volition.
2: Pilgrims will occasionally come and visit the weapon in a reliquary, then may later send gifts (for example one person sent me a charge rifle for looking at the moral support smg I quested for).
3: it's not useless if you find value in it, cool looking buildings i the game aren't necessary, but better add to some people's enjoyment of the game, I for one like cool looking rooms.

Also any ritual in a room with a relic gets an additional +3 mood.

Ah, that is good news, thanks! I had up to now, built separate ritual and reliquary rooms.

You only have to decorate the chamber enough to get the 120% bonus for impressiveness and that really isn't much of a chore to achieve.
When you add up the bonuses for a successful ritual, the benefits of a really successful ritual are certainly worth the effort. For example, an outstanding ritual can provide a +16 mood buff for all attendees!
As for the keepsake relics, use them yourself or put them on display. The pilgrims who come to visit them often reward you with gifts.

Ceep this better in mind, when you design the size of your riutal room. Mine was too small.

Heh, I'm playing the Archonexus run and so this is my 3rd base... I've got the hang of it by now ;) My temples are 10x10 and the reliquary 10x6. So, all I have to do is put them together and have a temple/reliquary 10x16.

Do you still use your weapons? I use them just in combat. Mood is no problem in lategame.

That wasn't hard and didn't take long to build ;)

Nope, I've never used them. After 3 base restarts, the 5 pawns I move on to each restart have already acquired decent weaponry of their own by now.

Pilgrim looked at the relic and sent me biggest tv available in the game, 10/10

[qualified turtle ship]

isn't it supposed to increase ritual success chance as well?

No, but does give a +3 mood to any ritual done in that room.
