RimWorld Anomaly Gameplay | First Anomaly Playthrough | 500% Difficulty, No Pause, No Killbox

[@pepperspray7386]

this dlc changes the very nature of the game. you the player are no longer the omniscient demigod watching over his flock. now you are just the leader and just as in the dark about what's going on as your pawns. i really like the tension, but im not sure i like having my demigod powers of knowing everything on my map taken away. even when a hunting snow leopard is after you the wildlife menu will still tell the player where the animal is, now you have to listen for the sound and hope.

[@royce9018]

it helps the world feel alive outside of your own camp. I was hoping for more map events to get me that feeling, but this is helping

[@jayleon6176]

I'm in habit of using some OP mods. I see this as a chance to balance it out.

[@Alister222222]

Love or hate the DLC, it sure adds a lot of variety to the threats you can face. 2 years into my first playthrough, and it feels like every major threat has been different. I just rebuilt after an insane assault by cultists, who summoned three separate flesh beast pits right in my base. Bodies everywhere, and it was like this long, complex battle with multiple phases, taking out multiple waves of flesh beasts, and then trying to patch up before the cultists themselves, with their tentacle arms and lack of pain assaulted the base. So far I'm pretty 'thumbs up' on the DLC.

[@arsenic_soap1738]

I was dealing with cultists and cleared them out. But then it led into a flesh heart, ice age, and eternal darkness all at the same time. Finally got through it but lost 3/4 of my colonists

[@TheNoxmage]

I bought every DLC on launch. So far Anomaly is most engaging, i need to actually think about threats.

Really enjoying the changes to the game in this DLC. I think it's a fun way to raise the stakes in Rimworld, and can't wait to see the number of monsters added by mods in the future. Also I know you hinted at it, but a Melee Ghouls run would be so fun.

[@cyberwarlord7363]

This would have been a good dlc for cryo weapons. Having them be the most effective for capturing entities. Could be a decent weapon for slowing organic enemies and terrain modification.

[@ivandimitrov7994]

A quicker way to finish off downed animals is to hunt them. Once they are down, set them to be hunted, set your pawn to hunt it and it will just go to the animal and it will finish it off in a second.

[@AdamVsEverything]

Yes, I know. And they will even immediately haul it back to the base as long as zones are correct. But I wanted to let the Ghoul have some fun in this.

[@Br3ttM]

I wish there was a better way to do it with melee pawns. I've had to do a lot of melee hunting because of a self-imposed challenge, and you have to choose between convenience with the constant "hunter lacks weapon" message, micromanaging, or wasting time finishing off animals with melee attacks, possibly cutting off body parts and losing yield. Would also occasionally be nice to have an option to finish off downed enemies quickly, although usually I either tend without medicine for a bit of medical XP or just ignore them, if I don't want prisoners.

Recently I barely caught a few comments on other videos alluding to the creator struggle between revenue and integrity, specifically around Better Help. Adam's stated position 6:50:00 on Gamer Sups (however you spell it) over Gfuel is just one more of many reasons why I enjoy your content. :) Love it and hate it, social media content success depends in large part on the personality / personal branding of the creator.

[@Alister222222]

OK Revenants SUCK. I had one hypnotize the colony child, and they are so tanky that my entire colony couldn't stop it before it stealthed away. I was playing on a large map, so there was no way I was ever going to find it to break the kid out of the coma. I feel like I can accept bad things happening if there is at least *something* I can do about it, but if it's going to happen and you're just powerless, it's just Rimwold God saying 'and then... they just died. The end.' It's on par with a meteorite hitting your colonist. It might be funny, but it's not fun. EDIT: Well I did catch it in the end. Holy cr** it's annoying though. Even with a bunch of chain shotguns on a fairly early colony I still had to chase it down multiple times with an EMP to bring it down.

[@bl00dleter]

It keeps coming back and you can follow it and then flare the general area where it went. I had no issues dealing with it immediately like this. It even leaves marks after damaged.

clearly theres a demand for village run, maybe some people never leave their house? one room for bed on room for crafting/cooking/whatever and a small warehouse. There would be separate people who haul between houses and fight

[@EmpressHel]

I think the DLC is good, but it should have been marketed as a scenario pack rather than a normal DLC like the previous 3. For one, the DLC has very minimal cross interaction with both the other DLCs and the base game. Generally speaking, if you choose not to mess with the monolith you won't really have much interaction with Anomaly in that playthrough. Similarly, if you do mess with the monolith you will likely have very little interaction with the rest of the game's content. This essentially makes Anomaly a scenario pack for a HorroRim experience that doesn't really add much to playthroughs where you do not mess with the monolith. This comes in contrast to the other DLCs which add plenty of content without forcing you down a particular playstyle. Royalty adds psycasts, which can be accessed even without going down the Fallen Empire path. Ideology adds, well, ideologies that every colony has to deal with even if they dont go artefact hunting. Finally, Biotech adds new xenotypes/genes plus extra Mechanoid content and children which naturally affect basically every playthrough. Ultimately, Anomaly is a well-made experience, but I would argue that it should have been made with either more cross-compatibility to better fit the theme of the other DLCs or been marketed as a scenario pack.

[@leinis80]

Well spoken, I fully agree with you.

[@m4rcyonstation93]

After the updates I think it's gotten much better in regard to affecting non-anomaly playthroughs especially with the new setting

[@joe-4587]

[@Blind_Kamikaze]

[@Loxen86]

Do you mean a Win?

[@luka188]

The wall thing comes from a full run Adam did without building or using any walls at all, not for rooms, nor for defense, or any other reason, and people kept coming to the stream asking "is x a wall?", like, are tables walls? are trees walls? are chunks walls? are map structures walls? is the defoliator a wall? etc, etc. So, it is an internal joke in Adam's community to ask if x is a wall whenever there is something new lmao.

[@All_Night]

My one gripe. He didn't pick an advanced study, so all the adv. points from the revenant, monolith, and devourers disappear for 9+ hours. (Tynan needs to store the points to be used if no study is chosen) Otherwise Adam's gameplay got me to redownload Rimworld and buy the DLC.

[@AdamVsEverything]

They aren't wasted, I explained the process several times. If you don't select an advanced study then those points go into a basic study. It makes your basic study faster. It states this on the study page. I did this on purpose to 'rush' out some of the basics faster. So, no, the points where not wasted. You can think of it like using an advanced research bench to research devilstrand or something. You don't need advanced research for it, but the advanced research benches points can go into that and unlock it. Hopefully that makes sense. Maybe I will make a short guide out of it since it seems quite a few people are misunderstanding it at the moment with it being so new.

[@All_Night]

[@leinis80]

Also, I think that I remember the thing you are referring to. But I could not find it, and I believe that the event was much later than 10 minutes into the stream, perhaps around 30 min? If my memory serves me correctly, and I am thinking about the same thing you are thinking about, then I believe there was a dark pleasure kind of element mentioned before mentions of a machine God, which would explain the Slaanesh comment. Lastly, I am not sure how into 40k Adam is, but I know that he is very familiar with warhammer fantasy - and Slaanesh could equally well be a fantasy reference - not 40k.
