Editing Psyfocus

'''Psyfocus''' is a medium-term limitor of [[psycast]] usage. Psyfocus can be regenerated by meditating.

Psyfocus is a value ranging from 0% to 100%, obtained by any pawn with a [[psylink]]. Every [[psycast]] immediately consumes a certain percentage of psyfocus. All psyfocus costs are the same for every caster, and unlike [[neural heat]], these costs cannot be bypassed.  

A pawn's target psyfocus level can be set using with gizmo on the toolbar while they are selected. The pawn will attempt to maintain that psyfocus level by meditating any time it drops below that value and the pawn is [[Menus#Schedule|scheduled]] for "''Anything''". Meditation can also be performed while scheduled to Recreation or Meditation, where the gizmo does not impact when pawns meditate.

 

The rate of psyfocus gain from meditation can further be increased in the following ways:

 

The maximum meditation psyfocus gain is therefore a non-tribal pawn meditating to a legendary sculpture surrounded by 8 other masterwork sculptures, wielding a Psy-meditative persona weapon, while high on wake-up, having deathrested with 4 psychofluid pumps and with the super psy-sensitive gene. This results in a psyfocus gain per day of meditation of {{#expr:50 + 44 + 10 + 20 + 20 + 20}}% or {{#expr:(50 + 44 + 10 + 20 + 20 + 20)/24 round 1}}% per hour.

[[{{Q|Anima tree|Image}}|64px|left|link=Anima tree]]

Anima trees have a base meditation focus strength of +28%. Each animus stone within 10 tiles increases the meditation effectiveness by +2%, while each small or large natural shrine within 10 tiles increases it by +1%. Up to 4 buildings can affect the tree, for a maximum bonus of +8% for 4 animus stones. Its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +36% for an anima tree with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 animus stones. Also note that unlike other natural buildings, meditating at the anima tree also produces anima grass for additional psylink levels for pawns with the natural focus.  

[[{{Q|Animus stone|Image}}|64px|left|link=Animus stone]]

Animus stones have a base meditation focus strength of +34%. Each animus stone within 10 tiles increases the meditation effectiveness by +2%, while each small or large natural shrine within 10 tiles have no effect. Up to 4 additional stones can affect one stone. Like the [[anima tree]] its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is +42% for a Animus stone with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 additional animus stones.

[[{{Q|Small nature shrine|Image}}|64px|left|link=Small nature shrine]]

Small nature shrines have a base meditation focus strength of +22%. While each animus stone within 10 tiles will increase the meditation effectiveness by +2% up to 4 stones, pawns will preferentially meditate at the animus stone assuming the meditation spot is in radius of both. Small nature shrines do not give a bonus to animus stones. Like the all natural foci, its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +40% for a small nature shrine with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 animus stones as the small nature shrine would be ignored in this scenario. A pawn meditating too far from the animus stones that are on the other side of the shrine would receive a +30% bonus, but the player would be wasting animus stone bonuses.

[[{{Q|Large nature shrine|Image}}|64px|left|link=Large nature shrine]]

Large nature shrines have a base meditation focus strength of +30%. While each animus stone within 10 tiles will increase the meditation effectiveness by +2% up to 4 stones, pawns will preferentially meditate at the animus stone assuming the meditation spot is in radius of both. Large nature shrines do not give a bonus to animus stones. Like the all natural foci, its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +40% for a small nature shrine with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 animus stones as the large nature shrine would be ignored in this scenario. A pawn meditating too far from the animus stones that are on the other side of the shrine would receive a +38% bonus, but the player would be wasting animus stone bonuses.

[[{{Q|Grave|Image}}|64px|left|link=Grave]]

Graves have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +6%. This increases by +10% if the grave is full, and a further +10% if the grave is occupied by a pawn with a relationship to the meditator. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 4 additional graves or sarcophagi. Each of these 4 grants an additional +1%, or +2% if full, for a maximum bonus of +8%. Note that only the primary grave has to contain a pawn with a relationship to the meditator.  

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +34% for a grave occupied by a loved one and surrounded by 4 additional full graves or sarcophagi.

[[{{Q|Sarcophagus|Image}}|64px|left|link=Sarcophagus]]

Sarcophagi have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +10%. This increases by +10% if the sarcophagus is full, and a further +10% if the sarcophagus is occupied by a pawn with a relationship to the meditator. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 4 additional Graves or Sarcophagi. Each of these 4 grants an additional +1%, or +2% if full, for a maximum bonus of +8%. Note that only the primary sarcophagus has to contain a pawn with a relationship to the meditator.  

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +38% for a sarcophagus occupied by a loved one and surrounded by 4 additional full graves or sarcophagi.

[[{{Q|Small sculpture|Image}}|64px|left|link=Sculptures]]

All sculpture sizes have identical meditation statistics and mechanics. Sculptures have a base Meditation Focus Strength that dependent on their [[quality]]. Higher quality sculptures have higher strengths, up to a maximum of +28% at legendary quality. Up to 8 additional sculpture of normal quality or better within 10 tiles will each increase this strength by a value dependent on its quality. 8 additional sculptures of masterwork or better can the maximum bonus of +16%. Note, as the focus sculpture's quality has a significantly larger effect than that of the supporting sculpture, it is always better to have the best quality sculpture as the focus.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +44% for a legendary sculpture surrounded by 8 additional sculptures of masterwork or legendary quality.
