A '''meditation throne''' is a type of [[furniture]] which a designated noble colonist can sit on to meditate for recreation and to regain [[Psycasts|psyfocus]]. If placed at a [[table]], it can also be used like a regular chair - providing comfort and a place to eat and socialize. 

== Acquisition ==
The meditation throne can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. Each requires {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.

It can also be found for sale at [[traders]], as a [[quest]] reward, and in [[Empire]] [[faction base]]s.

== Summary ==
A meditation throne will create a throne room. It can be used by nobles as a [[meditation focus]]; in order for the throne to be used for meditation, you must assign a noble to it. In addition, a meditation throne acts as seating, for all intents and purposes.

=== Psyfocus ===
The meditation throne is a Dignified meditation focus, with a base strength of +15% psyfocus / day. If it is in a [[throne room]] that meets the pawns [[Throne#Throne rooms|requirements]], its focus strength is improved by 8%. It otherwise has the exact same meditation effectiveness as the [[Grand meditation throne]], so it is more important to use the throne that meets the title's requirements. 

Additionally, both thrones' effectiveness are affected by room [[Room_stats#Levels_of_impressiveness|impressiveness]]. A meditation throne has a maximum of +33% psyfocus / day in an Unbelievably impressive room that meets throne requirements.

'''N.B.''' The room impressiveness descriptors only relate to descriptors the room will have at that specific value. The descriptors themselves do not control the value. A room with 50 room impressiveness will be listed "Slightly Impressive" but will not make the cut off for the 4% increase.

=== Chair ===
Pawns can sit at a meditation throne as a chair, including for [[table|dining]], [[television]] watching, [[research bench]]es, etc. This is in contrast with a grand meditation throne, which can only be used for T.V. watching.

All seating have a [[Comfort]] value. This is a measure of how high a pawn can refill their comfort meter while using the piece of furniture. A pawn sitting in a meditation throne with a higher comfort value can achieve a higher level. It does not affect the rate at which comfort increases only the maximum level. Comfort levels over 100% have no additional effect. Comfort varies by [[quality]] but not material. Meditation thrones of the same quality level will all have the same comfort, regardless of what they're constructed from.

== Analysis == 
Thrones are required for a throne room. A proper throne room is required to receive royal [[titles]] from Acolyte onwards. Without a throne, a noble will receive a {{--|6}} [[mood]]let, even if they are [[Ascetic]]. [[Titles#Baron|Barons]] or higher will need a [[grand meditation throne]] instead.

You can combine throne rooms with Dining and Recreation rooms. This takes advantage of the high Impressiveness for all 3 rooms. If doing so, you might as well put a noble's throne in front of a [[table]] or recreation object. Note that production facilities cannot be in a non-Ascetic noble's throne room. Production facilities still need to be moved away if you want your Ascetic to accept a new [[title]].

If spare thrones are available, such as when your noble has upgraded to the grand meditation throne, then you can place the regular meditation throne as a regular chair. You may want to keep/build a few meditation thrones if planning to take the [[Royal Ascent]] quest, as many of the Stellarch's guards will be royal psycasters.

=== Chair ===
As a chair, thrones provide more comfort than [[stool]]s and [[dining chair]]s, but less than an [[armchair]]. Their only benefit over armchairs is material; armchairs require a [[textile]], while thrones can be made out of stone, wood, or metal. Compared to dining chairs, thrones have a higher [[Work To Make]] and require 70 more resources for only +0.05 more comfort. Thrones can be made out of stone, which could be useful in [[Biomes|wood-poor environment]]s. However, stone drastically increases the work required.

Chairs in general are useful for preventing the "Uncomfortable" [[Mood#Situation Needs|mood debuff]], and can even grant mood buffs at high qualities. As long as it is being sat on, a normal [[quality]] meditation throne can maintain the {{+|6}} ''Very Comfortable'' [[mood]]let all day. Excellent quality thrones, with a comfort of 93%, will maintain {{+|10}} ''Luxuriantly Comfortable'' while being sat on. This is equal to 2 [[beer]]s a day, without the addiction chance or decreased manipulation. Excellent quality is relatively achievable -  a level 13 constructor has a ~25% chance to build an excellent or better throne.

Thus, every dining table, recreation item, and production bench that allows sitting should have at least some chair installed on them. Priority should be given to objects in continuous use, such as stoves and research benches, with less used objects such as [[poker table]]s and dining tables changed over last. However, if possible, armchairs should be used instead.
