Description
Anomaly is a horror-themed DLC for RimWorld that adds mysterious threats, containment facilities, and a new endgame. Many of the events are inspired by classics like Cabin in the Woods, The Thing, The Cthulhu mythos, Hellraiser, and many more. It was released on April 11, 2024.
Monolith
The Monolith is a structure that spawns on the map and is how you start interacting with the majority of Anomaly content. A colonist is able to study the monolith, which will allow entities to start appearing and other strange events to occur. It can be upgraded if enough entities in the Entity Codex have been discovered, which will allow the next tier of entities to spawn.
Entities
Entities are the major threats of the Anomaly DLC. After a colonist investigates the monolith, entities will begin to spawn. All entities will appear in the Entity Codex after being discovered. Entities can be studied by incapacitating them and placing them within a containment cell. Colonists will be automatically set to study them which will advance progress in the Anomaly Tech Tree.
