Do the Religious Shrines work?

[Spoo]

I heard a while ago that some of the Religious Shrines weren't working. Has this been fixed? If not, which Shrines don't work?

Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

They weren't really broken; it's just that the text description for Nature Shrines wasn't clear enough. A Nature Shrine increases the value of all the inhabited planets in the system; uncolonized worlds aren't affected.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

A small addition to that: Nature shrines only increase the value/conditions of inhabited planets that you control.

Allied planets in the system don't get the bonus unless your ally has a shrine of his own.

and you have to remember it takes years for the changes to take effect.

And the value is a yearly improvement

And, the improvement happens between "month" zero and one (year xxxx.0 and xxxx.1), no matter when the shrine was constructed.

So, If the shrine is due to finish on "month 1", rush build it to sneak it in just ahead of the deadline.

Yes, but the accumulated effect can be VERY beneficial. If you can survive to late game, Religeous Tech can become quite an asset. The Talismans are great! you NEVER MISS. And the shrines can really boost production and resources as well as happiness levels, etc. The cumulative effect is quite substantial.
