Why isn't my regen boost doing anything?

[tathorogood]

I have an Earth Shrine set up adjacent to a rock mine. Both are placed directly on terrain. I have earth crystals inbound to the shrine. I have outflow for depleted crystals from the shrine, and the shrine has crystals in it. Nothing is happening.

Am I missing something?

have you ckecked underground veins? both for speed of regen and yield?

[tathorogood]

What would I look for? I mean, I've checked the underground veins (most of which are depleted, and undergoing regeneration ["X% mining progress"]), but there I'm not sure what would indicate whether or not they are eligible for boosting.

Edit: The yield for the depleted veins shows as 50. The veins are recharging slowly, but not from the booster, which is not consuming any crystals.

Actually, after a restart, it seems to be working? Maybe it was user error pre-coffee this morning.

How did you get it working on stone?
Like ores, it doesnt consider stone to be a natural resource in my case. If I place the shrine, it doesnt link to any of the ores. If I place it close to tress, farm etc it works. The description also only mentioned natural resources.

In my case the mana wasnt used, the shrine just waited. None of the empty veins got any regen boost.

I actually never got it working on stone directly, when I replied thining I had fixed it, I was actually looking at a different shrine.

I later discovered however that it DOES work on omni-planters that have stone, iron, etc. I think the description of this could be a little more specific as to what it will recharge. I don't think it works on mines unless they have omniplanters.

Placement is also critical. I created a gold mine near a trader using omni-planters and noticed that the earth shrine was distracted with my nearby carrot farm and the forester cutting trees for smelting. Needed two earth shrines for a long time to keep the gold mine running.
