Been going back and forth between this guide and the Best Cult Doctrines and Unlock Order guide trying to set up the best doctrines to get for myself. Thanks for this!

If you're in early game and/or struggling with having sub-10 gold in the mid-game, Ritual of Enrichment basically solves all of your money problems forever and lets you actually upgrade anything because you're not worried over "hmmm... new bed or upgrade existing one. Which mine.... do I need this or can i micromanage.... upgrade crypt or build a cheaper one..." no more of that; you can sort out all of your builds and use bribe as much as you'd like as if money were no object.

I think there also should be a mentioning, that some unlockable rituals decrease faith (like "Ritual Fast" that decreases 30 faith when using it)

Eating grass is basically op af

Fantastic guide :) I would recommend choosing grass eater over the cannibal trait btw, it doesn't list it but I believe it also removes the chance to become ill from eating a grass meal. If you collect tonnes of grass (like me) then this basically gives you cheap meals with no downsides, which you can cook en masse and then go exploring :)
