nature shrines should get back their system wide abilities, pleeeaaase
Um, they do have system wide abilities... at least AFAIK (v1.35). I'm playing a "finite" resources game, and with a nature shrine in my home system I get the bonus to all planets.
In fact, with a nature shrine III, my homeworld gets 3,000 *0.03 = 90K resources per year. I dig only 13K out each turn with a monolith & mineral miner, so my homeworld's value is quickly rising to infinity

In fact, it's even better than that, since I've got a pair of Value improvement plants 2. 3,000 * 0.07 = 210,000 of each resource each year.
And my resource increase goes up (ie. resource acceleration) by 15,000 each year! The power of compound interest is staggering...
But, that's even more off-topic.
