The monk's meditation was intentionally set up to be the cost of their power. They are already a strong class. Allowing them efficient use of time by sharing meditation times with other benefits seems like it would further imbalance the class. I will take the suggestion into consideration and might implement a partial benefit.

Thank you for responding! Your mod is honestly one of the ones I really won't play without, and I've been using it since before 1.3 even if I haven't really spoken up until my latest return to Rimworld as a game.

I admit I'd argue that the fact they still need to meditate at all is the balance and the player not having to manually remember to click at x-o'clock every Rimworld day and being able to set up the hours in the schedule, if not them automatically doing it, doesn't really take away from that since they still would be out of any activity for the colony and 'wasting' that time by gathering chi.

Them dropping all work unless forcibly scheduled, like vanilla Nobility psycasters to sit somewhere and meditate randomly as their chi hits a threshold would make the player have to schedule things right to work out without disrupting at least a small colony's work logistics.

Others mileage may vary, but I'd rather the meditation maybe not restore energy, or at least not restore it at a high rate, so that it for sure can't replace sleep and will cut into the work day- maybe also only give joy at the same rate as psycaster meditation if it does more right now- and yet be automatic, than have to remember to manually click it, whether with a small colony that is frantically scheduled to try to make use of every member to prevent starvation and stagnation, or a big one where otherwise it's also a game of keeping track of 2-4 monk pawns out of 25.

For me, at least, it generally means that while I love the monks I wind up with, (I even have a scenario where most of the world spawns monks that I'm loving right now,) they just almost never have any chi at all built up because I forget to click the button daily, much less multiple times a day, and find it just not a very fun mechanic in and of itself.

I would also love some integration, something like Royalty meditation giving a bit of Chi, not enough to replenish reserves but enough to cancel the Chi drain.
