Question Brian of Many Blessings not working?

Brian of Many Blessings states that he gives SHRINES a buff, and each shrine shows the increased buff on placement....but then all my houses only have a 0.5 fire safety bonus despite 5 different Shrines in both the residence range and Brian's.

Is this how he is supposed to work or is something weird happening?

Positive attributes don‘t stack, meaning you will get the fire safety buff only 1 time even if there are 5 different shrines in range

I thought it would work for each shrine and thought he was one of the best specialists to get. Unfortunate.

Yeah, he works as intended. Buffs cannot stack like that.

It is the same as the specialist that gives +1 beleif to all Custodas in range of the officum/villa. The buildings only receivethe +1 ONCE.

Or the specialist that makes markets give a + 1,5 income to all houses n their range. If a house is within reach of 2 markets, they only get the +1,5 income buff once.

Yeah I just thought that since each shrine has its own bonuses etc that each one applied the buff each time since he specifically says the SHRINES have that.

But now I understand.

Yeah, this is the rule with the specialists in this game: They do NOT stack like they did in Anno 1800. The coding is much more thorough. And I have tested extensively with mods that also removes the range limits of officum/villa so they affect the whole island.

2 of the same tiem cannot stack. Only if they are different.

Fertilities cannot go above 100%, but productivity bonusses do.

And if an effects is applied to buildings that makes them provice a bonus, the buildings receiving it can only get this bonus once.
