Are Nature shrines stackable?

[Suicide Junkie]

I decided to build only 4, and use the other two slots for other types. It's been almost two years now, sooo lets take a look see:

It only went from 77% to 80%. Bummer.
They don't stack, and it dosen't warn you about duplicate facilities.

This thread brings up another problem of mine, which really drives me mad:

It's too easy to lose the sight of the system facilities. You build a gestation vats, a few turns later a medical lab, which makes sense, but you just get the warning: You already have a similar facility in system - groovy, I have to observe everyone of my colonies in the system to make sure which facility is double. I know there's a facility overview in the colonies window but it doesn't help a lot if you have more than 15 colonies in a system. The warning should be something like:

"You already have a Gestation Vats in the system"...

I'm depressed now...

Hm...does that mean that i am semi-cheating when creating on a new colony in a new system both Gestation vats and Medical Lab?

Ohwell...

Nope, only one of them will work.

And just a side note, I'm pretty sure there is NOT a limit to the number of productive Value Improvement Plants you can have (at least that's what it was back around v.1.10).

Just for the overlapping ability: Pop. growth; one Gest. Vats III increases pop. by 3%, Med. Lab III by 1%, if you build both, this should result in 3% pop. growth -from the highest modifier; but the Med. Lab has more functions: +happiness, +plague prevention.

Some system facilities have positive effects on happiness but the other ability might be more important, e.g. if you have a Temporal Vacation Service and try to build a Fate Shrine just to decrease the chance of bad events (I don't know good examples at the moment) then you'll get a warning about the similar facilities in the system, just because of the overlapping happiness modifier.

This is still correct for Value Improvement plants but not for Nature Shrines. I guess the stacking of the Value Improvement plants is not wanted, an unknown feature...
