I was recently doing a cool gimmick which involved moving the alter of gods(with the nullrod) to a new better chapel but once i tried to use it and i realised it said ‘only usable on holy ground’ so then logically i started making the land into holy ground by blessing it with holy water (didnt work) so now im wondering is it really supposed to be like the kitchen which is linked to the actual map or is it supposed to function as i thought with holy ground but bugged (also why make altar movable if you can only use it in the chapel anyway)

if you somehow find the CEs blueprints and rename the room you’re in to Chapel it could work
does xenobiology’s cerulean blueprint work in this case?
I’m a firm believer that being able to move the altar and use it would be great for everything. I think it’s corg that has the chapel completely disconnected from the outside world. Being able to somehow move it would be great.
I made the altar of the gods movable in this pr

## About The Pull Request
Shortens the time of most rituals by ~30%, allows for… any holy person to 'wrench' and 'unwrench' the Altar with a null rod and makes the Necromancy sect sacrifice ritual cuff mindless carbons.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Quite frankly, some of the Chaplain's rituals take way too long to do. Standing still for about a minute at a time really ain't that fun. Also Chaplains tend to renovate the chapel quite a lot, but the builds always have to mind the position of the Altar, which stiffles the creativity somewhat. And the Necromancy sect's sacrifice has the issue of gibbing the mob, which deletes any cuffs that were holding them. Which means on a log round you'll be stocking up on zipties for days. This PR alleviates all of that.

I think it would be better to change the Altar to actual blessed ground so you dont have to bug the CE to move the chapel to your Lavaland Megachurch

By ‘blessed ground’ do you mean tiles sprayed with holy water?

Yeah I mean the holy water tiles they mostly underused and would make sense

Here it is, will probably take a while to be merged due to our maintainers being busy with IRL matters.

## About The Pull Request
Allows for the Altar of the Gods to also function on … any tile that was blessed with Holy Water.
Adds a tooltip showing that you can [un]wrench the altar by using your holy weapon on it.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gives Chaplain players a bit more freedom on where they conduct their rutials. Also it was asked for on the forums - https://forums.beestation13.com/t/alter-of-the-gods-pilgrimagless/22637
The tooltip makes things a bit more intuitive.
