(14.04.2024) i'm having so much fun with anomaly.. the new OSTs are so great, i'm playing without any mods and my colony made it to jugust 5501. the current dark weather is an event that rises corpses as undead creatures. i started with the 2 colonists + 1 ghoul scenario and when things started getting really rough, i got a "deal maker" letter..
it was a pawn asking to join, but he's "hiding something". his stats are literally 14-18 all over, and his traits are beautiful, industrious, perfect memory, and disturbing. and 59 days as a colonist later, i still don't know what he's hiding... "disturbing" makes it so when he interacts with others, they get a small mood debuff, cause he's talking about creepy things all the time.
i had one of my starter colonists, bonnie, do a surgical inspection on him. and she found that nothing was wrong. i was planning to betray the empire anyway so i gave him the first royalty role, then accepted the deserter lol.
today: my colony got attacked by a large group of shamblers. i sent the deserter constantine to wake up the nearby mech cluster, in hopes that the shamblers would then go running to attack the mechanoids... but nope, most of them started hitting my walls. it was a pretty tough fight, they breached my walls, and the starter ghoul died while protecting everyone.
listen i don't even have machining researched yet. i'm using the default new ideoligion that comes with anomaly, and research is marked as very slow. but i had expanded the freezer and now franklin's corpse is there. tbh i was keeping the entity corpses so she could eat them, and now i might just turn them into chemfuel.. but hopefully i get a ress mech serum soon to bring her back.
northwood, the wanderer with perfect skills, is still just a creepy but otherwise regular guy. fox was a child rescued from, lol, manhunting red foxes. piag was a wild woman who got tamed on first attempt. constantine is the deserter, and theodosia was from the empire, captured when i sent my colonists to steal the psylink neuroformers. i think i have some very interesting colonists this time.
in the screenshot above: constantine is moving the nociosphere to a new room that has better containment strength, since fox just snapped and executed the toughspike we had captured up there lol.
