[.806 Gameplay] Empire can't harvest shards?

Playing as an Empire faction, I sent pioneers to harvest an air, water, and fire shard.  Afterwards, all 3 said they were now shrines rather than shards, but my kingdom report showed that I had no shards.  This was, by the way, after researching shard harvesting.  Two of them were outside my zone of control, but the third was inside.

Or do shards now have to be contiguous with other town buildings in .806 like farms do?

Are you sure that pionneer doesn't give you only half of the bonus? In that case, you need to send pionneer to 2 fire shard to be able to have one usable

I don't think that is how they intended it to work. You should build a city next to it, then build the shrine. I have done it with the empire faction without a problem.

Also I believe it has to be touching a city tile on the side to be able to be built properly.
