Can someone help me understand chi gathering/room layout

[SamsTheMan]

I've got an inner disciple of the reincarnation path, which is leaf. I understand that water gives bonus to leaf. So in his cultivation room, which parts should be made out of water and which parts out of leaf? I think I understood from the tutorial that the cushion should be leaf, but is all the display stuff, items, floors, wall supposed to be water?

How do I set up things to gather more chi? I have spiritwood but it only gains like .08

Should answer any questions you might have about cultivation rooms:

About your specific case - yes all the stuff that gather Qi on the displays should be water element.
BUT
Since you'll most likely wont have water qi gathering items from the very beginning opposed to easily available spirit wood, you can create an inner circle with regular water element items and outer circle with Qi gathering items of ANY element type as long the focus point (Qi cushion) is within the Qi gathering range.

I'll be honest, that guide is hard to wrap my head around. Let me ask for clarification, the only thing that needs to be the SAME element of the disciples law is the 'focus point', ie cushion, bed, altar. The floor, walls, display cases and items should ideally be the complimenting element?

Also, what is an 'outer circle' and 'inner circle'?

Is there a 'Qi' view to see what the Qi value is on each tile, or is it just clicking on the item and seeing how much Qi it says the item has?

Thank you for your help. This has been a difficult game for me to understand.

Yes.

Inner circle is maximum distance of 2 from the cushion:

-----------
-----2-----
----212----
---21012---
----212----
-----2-----
-----------

And only in this circle element of item you put in matters, anything beyong this can be of any element (for example spirit wood can be used for any element qi arrays as its qi gathering range goes beyond this distance).

I'm pretty sure you need mod to see qi value in enviroment. Qi in items is a separate thing.

One thing that i think is worth adding for somebody potentially using the water element is that you can use fire element items in the room to balance the temperature as long as they are not near your cultivation spot or any water items that affect feng shui.

I allways connect a fire and water cultivation room so they balance themself same for relics you can add the boni if they are connected if they want a bedroom just build a bed in same room or workshop ect. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2807954149

I know the tutorial said I could find it in the help pages, but I can't find which page tells you which side of the room to poot doors on. I know doors should be south for bedrooms but not any other room type

West for kitchen, East for workshops, South for bedrooms and I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter for all others.

you can ignore all that if the door dont lead to the real outside but to another room with feng shui item inside.
