Well, I made the altar. I've heard some points here so I'll address em, but I won't spoil any secrets. Aside from the obvious one that everyone seems to already know.
This is NOT going to be a permanent fixture on the station for gaining ritual chalk. I made it for Spooktober to add a little spice and mystery, and I wanted to give rituals a little test. Mainly for general balance stuff and bugs, most of which I've tackled so it's been a success on that front.
It is supposed to be expensive, it's kinda supposed to be a spacebux sink in that sense. I only wish I had the time and foresight to bother to track how many each person spent trying to puzzle it out. I wanted it to be expensive so that it can't be spammed out round after round by someone the whole month. Having said that, there's a bit more to the altar than it seems like you're aware. Namely, the optimal way to get a quality piece of ritual chalk. There's more to it than just dropping spacebux. Plus, I like to think that the relatively high cost encourages cooperation between players.
The altar will be gone with Spooktober at the end of the month. I know right now it's like using spacebux for a competitive advantage, but that's really so I can slowly test without things getting too crazy while I am also busy irl.
Having said all that, maaaaaybe I was a bit too stringent with the amount of uses pieces of chalk have at lower levels. I've seen some things that give like 20-ish uses which honestly does feel bad. I'll adjust them a bit in the players' favor I think.
