A Small Altar is a type of furniture added by the Ideology DLC at which acts as a focus for pawns to perform and take part in rituals.

Acquisition

The Small Altar can be built with  50 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony) in 5,000 ticks (1.39 mins).

Summary

The ritual focus(es) should be placed in your "Shrine" room, which itself has the "altar" or "ideogram" as a room role requirement.

Analysis

The small altar has the highest wealth, style dominance, and beauty per tile of all altar sizes. Small Altars have 10 style dominance/beauty per tile, when made of Wood.

It is also the only Altar option with a "light Terrain affordance", allowing it to be placed on any tile that can support a wooden wall, including a tile located on a wooden bridge.

These factors combined, makes it the best in class option in terms of efficiency of space, placement, "values" per tile and work/resources.
