Tips and Strategies

Discover essential tips and strategies for the RimWorld Anomaly DLC. Learn to survive flesh infestations, cultist attacks, and harness the power of the void.

The Anomaly DLC for RimWorld introduces a variety of new horror-themed threats and mechanics. To effectively manage these challenges, consider the following strategies:

• Understand the Monolith: The Void monolith is central to Anomaly's events. Investigating it activates it, increasing the chance of entities appearing and granting access to the entity codex. Progressing the monolith's level by discovering entities unlocks more dangerous threats and advances the Anomaly Tech Tree.
• Study Entities: Capture and study entities within containment cells. This process, handled by the Dark Research job, is crucial for advancing your research and understanding the new phenomena.
• Manage Threats: Be prepared for diverse threats including flesh infestations, cultist attacks, shambling undead, blood rains, and invisible hunters. Each entity has unique behaviors and weaknesses that must be learned.
• Utilize New Equipment: Craft new gear and weapons using the Bioferrite resource. These items are often essential for combating the new threats effectively.
• Conduct Psychic Rituals: Psychic rituals offer unique ways to interact with the DLC's mechanics, potentially providing boons or invoking further dangers.
• Adjust Anomaly Settings: For a less intense experience, consider the 'Ambient Horror' setting, which reduces the frequency of major threats. You can also fine-tune the frequency of anomaly threats in the custom difficulty options.
• Prepare for the Endgame: The DLC introduces a new endgame scenario involving the monolith and a machine-mind. Prepare your colony for these ultimate challenges.
