Events/Anomaly
 | This article relates to content added by Anomaly (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled. |
 | Spoiler warning: This page may contain details about the gameplay that might be considered spoilers. If you wish to enjoy the content first hand, you probably shouldn't continue reading beyond this point. |
 | This article is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Missing most of the relevant events. Also, check the "default level" part: I believe it to be -1 for never interacted / DLC deactivated and 2 for ambient horror. |
The Anomaly
DLC introduced a new style of Incident; one linked to the activity level of the Monolith structure. Every Anomaly event belongs to a Tier, and can only trigger if the Monolith activity level is at least that high. For instance, a Stirring Monolith (activity level 1) would allow all events from Tier 0 and 1, but none from Tier 2.
If the storyteller option Ambient horror is active, the Tier system will be ignored. All Anomaly events become available, with the exception of those directly related with the Monolith structure. This is due to the Monolith not spawning with this option active.
