[FSF] Meditation Freedom (Legacy Version)

I've redesigned how this mod works. Instead of patching every single item so it allows all meditation types and gives the highest amount of psyfocus I've instead made a free placable meditation focus which allows all meditation types and gives the highest amount of psyfocus. This means mods won't need patching if they add new focus objects and it means I can set up my people to meditate at an altar or reliquary, or any other object without making a patch for it.

Since this is a major change I've made this workshop entry a Legacy version and uploaded a new version. Since I changed the packageid it'll likely need to be reactivated in your game (hopefully the mod mismatch window will clue you in) but I think that's a bit less obnoxious than completely changing how things work for people in the middle of a save without warning.


You can find the new version here



In the Royalty DLC when it comes to meditation people are allowed only specific types of meditation depending on their traits and backgrounds. Making meditation areas is encouraged by giving focus bonuses but its severely limited by the meditation type and its items.

This mod does the following.
- All meditation items/buildings allow all meditation types.
- All meditation items/buildings are set to 40% regardless of other factors and no longer link to other items for additional bonuses.
- Nature shrines can be built without a nature based psycaster.
- Nature shrines and the Anima Tree no longer get a debuff from nearby artificial items/buildings.
- The Anima Tree can be grown in growing zones.
- All pawns have Natural and Artistic meditation types by default.

Note: Walls have not been modified. Walls would likely cause major issues with designating meditation zones.

I removed linking items/buildings for bonuses to allow more freedom in building meditation areas. The linking mechanic is neat but can be a hindrance for creative building. Alternatively, I could have added a large list of acceptable items to link to but in the end, I decided it was best to simply remove linking and include the bonus in the base meditation value.

For the most part this mod is about playing how you want without penalties. With everything unlocked and without item/building restrictions you can have your people meditate however you want them to. Make everyone meditate over a campfire, an awful sculpture or build a lovely garden area with a nature shrine.


I've added patches to fix meditation items in the following mods.

- Rim of Madness - Bones
- Vanilla Factions Expanded - Vikings
