Description

A Shrine is a small religious structure that can be built on the streets, the Shrine is unlocked by the Shrines (Law), of the Faith tree.

Shrines contribute in two ways:

• They add a +20% Base Efficiency bonus to all fully staffed workplaces within their aura. A fully staffed Workshop, for instance, would operate at 100% + (5 workers x 4%) = 120% effectiveness.
• They provide a permanent positive bonus to hope based on the number of people who are working near a shrine. The player can check this number by hovering the mouse over the Hope bar, but the exact bonus is not stated.

Notes

• Shrines are built on streets, much like Steam Hubs and Agitators. This means that you can fit them in between closely-packed buildings.
• It is beneficial to build shrines so that their aura contains multiple workplaces. Putting a shrine so that it overlaps two Coal Mines, for instance, can hugely increase your coal influx (raising the base efficiency of both structures to 120% for minimal cost).
• Shrines only affect human-crewed workstations. They do not affect the efficiency of Automatons.
