New weapons, new threats, new research : Rimworld Anomaly Ep2

and we're back with the War Room world and today well pett is going to be having her kid at some point in the near future probably in the next four or five days uh this thing is going to twist into something new this monolith we will figure out what that is when the time comes and sharir should really wake up shortly I need to get them a better bed their bed is currently poor and that's affecting their rest Effectiveness it's 92% we should hopefully be able to get them a better bed sooner rather than later it's just well our construction skill is only hit seven it's going to take us a while before we can consistently build good Furniture oh and finally they're going to take care of that once they've chopped this up I'm going to take let dump have a snack they haven't eaten anything in a while they need a lot of raw meat like a lot and you go why do they always take it from the hopper I think it's just the closest one but it's kind of annoying that means we have to keep going back in and refilling it back up again NOP pett has finished that sculptor uh which gives us let's see a person SI us some material up that's actually kind of nice this work bars a depiction of Arsy Dum Berry brutally harming an Emy without emotion or expression dumshit looks distressed at what he's doing the scene takes place inside an encampment built near a crack the amateurish attractive style out of the central scene clashes with the daddest depiction of the background the depiction refers to dump incapacitating an emu why is why is it called alpaca you know what it's fine let's just uh install this just put that right there and then we'll see what that does to the rating of this room it's currently awful and once that's installed it's still awful just maybe slightly less so and Pet's going to grab a quick nutrient paste meal our first rice crop is coming in that is good news in that case I don't want to put the rice in the fridge the thing is we don't really need it there we'll put it over here by the fridge and then we can move it in there and dump it into the hopper as need be or actually we could put a hopper on the outside the shet is going to bed rather early it's it's freaking 1900 hours uh the problem is because she's pregnant I'm pretty sure that's driving down yeah moving manipulation hunger it not rest though should be you know what it's fine she's going to bed early I get it it's been a rough uh it's been a rough times though I'm pretty sure it's going to get worse before it gets better I have also been advised to let pawns read uh for example this book here is all about art and increases artistic gain but at the same time it's supposed to increase Recreation so books increase Recreation while also increasing their skills which means yes let them grab books in fact getting the books that agree with their skills and maybe getting them to read those there's probably some way to do that not sure how yet and we'll figure it out and we're done with that then we'll give this just rice with only rice going in there that should be better actually just fill that up right now if you wouldn't mind yeah perfect perfect and you can prioritize holding that Rice we've got some Travelers passing by huh you guys got anything worth buying pkin pkin pkin pkin and smoke Leaf never mind you just keep on walking by please monolith void the monolith transformation is almost complete okay that is a pretty cool graphic uh as the model twisted and change shet was overcome with a horrifying Vision in an instant she understood the monolith is a doorway just barely cracked open now something dark Beyond imagination stirs on the other side seeping into our reality terrified but excited pette is convinced we can learn more if given the time to study the monolith uh build C locked anomaly research tab unlocked anomaly entity codex unlocked you can now study the monolith and other entities to gain anomaly research not you can adjust the percentage of major threats that will be anomaly related at any point in the Storyteller settings okay VI Quest uh you have activated the monolith that is a conduit for psychic energy just barely cracked open now mind of in comprehensible horror sits on the other side and is n touching our world the model seems to be partially active and there seems to be no way to shut it down to learn more you must activate it further okay which will require some special research H okay I think pette is our is our researcher they've got seven intellect the moment they have the kid and they've got the kids safely born or birthed whatever then we'll put them onto researching the Monet but for now no and one second I think we're going to need to gain access to there so yeah these got to go and we need to get a caravan going on uh the problem is we don't have any good weapons smirk has got a shotgun pump shotgun which is just horrendous and uh our pregnant woman has a knife do we really want to be face tanking raids with our pregnant woman that seems like a bad idea well okay we'll use dumb for that but uh we need more damage output we need guns all right couple of things here uh the gray paw a gritty a blanket of gritty fog has descended on this area the fog smells ancient somehow and it stings the skin the unnatural greatness of it evokes a sense of dread so I'm going to assume that will mess with solar power generation that's fine uh then we've got Harbinger tree Sprout The Harbinger tree has sprouted nearby these gnarled trees grow flesh-like coverings and can feed on corpses and raw meat placed nearby if wellfed the Grove will continue to grow in a trial with these trees are the emissaries of a shapeless God who rules an endless Black Ocean the myth ends after the shapeless God reaches up from the water and tears down the sky huh let's just make a corpse stockpile there I love the way that there's just literally a button you press create Corp stock pile uh storage normal corpses okay entity corpses and animal corpses as well huh uh one second I don't want them taking all of our animals okay so you're preferred and we can get rid of that uh I don't know if it needs fresh corpses or not you know what it's probably fresh corpses but we'll find out we got to do some experimentation you know over here we're sticking in spuds we got in our first crop of rice that's great that's going to take pressure off our meat supplies which we need to keep our ghast ghoul whatever the hell it is fed so everyone's going to be on a vegetarian nutrient paste diet from now on prefer starting with rice and then moving on to potatoes potatoes are just store for longer more visitors great what do we got like this seems like a very busy place right now o reinforced barrels no go juice I would really like some Go Juice actually there's always useless for Go Juice okay who's our best Trader smirk can give have a quick chat with them when they get here uh smirk is busy planting potato crops at the moment well unfortunately they won't buy any of our camel hide they want like the good stuff like I'm not going to sell them package survival meals components or medicine uh or any of those books that is unfortunate also I need to tidy this place up Mech is running a little bit low on mve namely because well the place is hideous we need to get the beauty level up inside here so that they get a better Beauty Dash during the night uh as long as they spend some time in here the statue helps but I'm going to also put in some flooring I'm thinking concrete flooring is cheap and we do have a decent amount of Steel over here we've pretty much CED this area out we've taken all the steel and we've walled in the uh overhead Mountain spots just to just to make sure the bugs don't spawn anytime soon we would prefer to hold out on any uh bug infestations also by putting in that floor we've taken the barracks from awful to dull that's also going to help with mood uh just by replacing the floors that way it takes the minus three Beauty penalty we're getting and it puts it as a one also we can clean the floors quite nicely as well at the end of the day we're just even a little bit of concrete in here we're going to get dull the visitor is leaving which should take everyone from a minus 7 to actually what will minus 7 go to once they the all the dull kicks in dull is a minus five okay so it's a two-point mood swing H considering we invested in a statue we're probably going to need another statue as well I just I don't want to drive up our wealth too much either we got to keep it well balanced we are going to be a long time before we get any more colonists we got to survive on this low number for now that's going to be difficult watching the sunrise is that a new that's a new recreation type I've never seen that before huh and what are you a how long are you dead and how did I let you rot that is unacceptable uh we need to make sure that this does not store rotted creatures yeah we're not going to allow the rotten ones in there that means they should dump it over there by the flesh tree The Harbinger tree yeah excellent excellent uh now I need to grab a few more things as well I need to start scooping up all the components and all of the bar bofer are in the map wait what consuming flesh how quickly growth rate 120% that's at 92 that's at 93 that's 92 that's 93 that's the proximity detector has detected an invisible creature what the hell does that mean um so we've detected it how do we that's a problem like is it visible in the detector then looking through the tech I can find disruptor flares uh disruptor flare pack utility that pack that shoots disruptor flares un impact the flare Burns a capsule of biopur out which creates a blight Flash and a local psychic disruption this stuns psychically sensitive creatures revealing those that are invisible and reducing their Consciousness and movement speed that's like 40 points down the tech Tre so what do we do in the meantime like are we just about to die now to Invisible creatures okay sight stealer revealed a twisted creature has appeared out of thin air okay pet back up you get over here okay smirk get into the doorway gas get back here ghou whatever do not attack the pregnant woman dumb get over [Music] here okay please tell me you're not too bad injured uh scratch okay scratch foot leg grant grant grant okie dokie then so what the hell are you dark psychic invisibility this creature is psychically Twisted psychically Twisted the perceptions of humans animals machines and infinity in such in vicinity in such a way as to seem invisible the eye recover their image as normal but the Mind cannot perceive it right good to know um we don't have a holding cell for this so um minimum continu required o entity codex this page lists all known entities which are related to the Dark Void discover new entities using the void provocation psychic ritual discovering new entities reveals new research projects allowing you to advance to void monolith uh emaciated and misshaping humanoids their arms end in sharp curled claws formed from biuret sightseers are fragile but use psychic influence to render themselves invisible until they get close to their victims they are known to me haunting screams as they gather on their terrible hunts right so that's good ghoul yeah yeah we've got those so far and there's plenty more to go okie dokie then uh we need to get medical attention on you uh you want to cons no you're not going to consume a meal we are going to get you medical attention smirk is the only one who's actually got a forign medical uh we're going to also allow you to self tend uh medicine wise what do we have we have 45 medicine we're going to let uh bit have the nicest medicine we've got because you know they're pregnant and all that it would be nice if they weren't too injured 59% that's okay they should be able to heal reasonably quickly and we'll take that away from medical and all of you can kind of get back to work we don't really have much of a choice on that I'm afraid I have turned off the sewing of the rice plants but I'm I'm switching entirely over to spuds it's 2:00 in the morning we've got a sight stealer in the fridge now the thing is we could feed it to these trees I think uh growth rate is this like reproducing as it goes okay you're done to 91 you're done to 90 so having corpses nearby just makes them grow faster but also they need sunlight probably and it seems to be reproducing more trees which I presume will spread and they appear to be like they give you void meditation Focus so there's a new Focus type so you there's a new meditation type okay so it's like an anima tree but for void magic I've been looking at the research tree and there's some weird stuff in here like you can do Chrono basically it's perform a ritual that will cause a Target to age rapidly the utal invoker will become younger in the process the target will suffer brain damage as a result which may be lethal for elderly targets so basically this is the same as that mod we were doing in a way and that you can make your colonist younger by draining the life force from other people so yeah we'll have to get around to that but uh not not just yet what I want to do is just get in some shelves so we can store some stuff uh and then also floor this entire place in concrete it might be a little bit nicer for the baby when it arrives or at least cleaner well what the this event now my understanding is when it comes to that's going to need people back here pretty quick smirk what are you doing okay you're close enough to doing that pette you're already on the way back but you're going to be super slow because you're like basically a blimp right now uh come on H there's a way to get a ren zist events currently I'm pretty sure they'll patch this out but if you use hidden conduits they're twice as expensive but hidden conduits uh you can't see them and they don't get zist events I'm sure that will be patched out because that's an unintended side effect but uh we could just switch to that for the when the time comes oh God why are you all so slow move move move move move move move move move yeah both you back around the same time you can put at these fires save the walls come on come on come on come on okay nice uh I need to turn off some stuff don't I H yep it happened during a wind power outage we could have put a second battery on the network switched him over but you know what we're just going to let this run I don't think there's much we can do about it click that off uh anything else we can turn off oh wonderful it's an eclipse so we've got a fog and an eclipse if you look at the map it just looks like we're covered in a weird smoke uh Dum is going back to consume some bird meat okay ostrich is downed unconscious but we've set them to hunt so when they eventually die from their wounds uh whenever people come along and collect them uh we' mostly tidied up this place but there's a few things left to be doing like you need to ha all of that rice out of here and put it on the storage shelves we don't need to put the rice in the fridge reason being it actually lasts quite a long time uh 30 or 40 days potatoes last even longer and corn lasts the longest but I think we'll switch to potatoes they have a longer shelf life they have roughly the same cost efficiency as rice when it comes to Growing especially when you put them in average soil so I think we'll be fine on that front there there is one thing I I want to try and that is I want to butcher up the sight stealer uh I need to see what that does though to people's mood like is this going to cause a problem and how did you eat raw food I need turned that off for a minute a damn it they must have eaten something they shouldn't have I'm going to have to double check their diet in a second okay no real worries about chopping them up right yeah they're cool with it okay and that should give us Twisted meat yep we can feed that to our uh our ghoul excellent that actually worked out de perfectly now right now I'm letting them catch up on their meals but at the same time I'm also letting them run across the map and collect all the steel components all that stuff that ended up around the place I think we've got enough that we can be we need guns and O if we need guns where is the ancient danger okay we need more Firepower if we want to take on the ancient danger or we're going to need traps actually traps might be our best bet we do have how much steel we got in storage huh normally I'd go with just a whole bunch of wooden traps but uh we don't have enough money for those all right we could put together a few traps out here H give ourselves a sort of a trapped Corridor and then lure whatever is in there into it the only thing we would hate to see in there would be a centipede just about everything else we can kill quite handily I would say oh the eclipse has ended and that weird fog thing has ended excellent we haven't got to rent any research yet but I want to crack this open and see if we can't get ourselves some weapons or some something good uh so far we have already pre-softened the wall with a bunch of punches by our our resident gas g guy wait is it Gast or ghoul it's ghoul what's a ghast then oh Ghasts are just more powerful ghouls the more you know I suppose this is ready for the morning we're going to shoot that out we're going to have dumb here at hold the line and then we're going to have smack behind them with a shotgun and hopefully we're going to take out whatever's in there uh the Trap should take care of most of the problems unless they've got like a lot of fire or there's there's problems we could encounter might want to wait until some Traders show up I'll decide in the morning what are you all up to oh you're bringing in the last of the steel that's excellent and we've managed to wall in our well not wall in our base Concrete in this whole area it's now slightly impressive this is going to help with mood dramatically wait what the hell petta is in labor damnn it timing is just wonderful uh to improve the baby chances gather a doctor and others to help the birth select pet and press gather for birth to start the procedure [Music] uh well we don't have a lot of choices here we have 4% chance of stillborn 7.4% chance of sick and 89% chance of healthy uh room cleanliness actually can we improve that can we improve the cleanliness no we can't actually wait wait wait no we can uh where's the wood do we have any wood left at all in this place that's it uh in that case floor give me floors we are going to want a wood floor in these three tiles there wood floor requires terrain support heavy well that's just wonderful what we've done is Walled in those two sections because we kep all those it's light sand which means you can't actually do anything with it sort of like quick sand almost in a way but with that walled in uh is this okay that place is now cleaned uh gather for child birth do it help with the chances at all 89% begin all right go for it and maybe don't leave that knife in the crib that feels like a really bad idea come on come on come on okay healthy child birth yes okay okay um bed rest doctor child care you uh take to Safe location do they need to be fed yet mood sleep food okay okay uh take to Safe location yeah we leave the knife there they'll probably be fine prioritize getting mother to breastfeed them cool huh okay does the baby that baby's going to fall off the moment it's done I just know it I I remember the last time I was doing playing this game and we had kids involved I finally built those just those medical things that you can just Chuck babies into and grow them up until they're old enough to start walking and taking care of themselves because going through this whole section was just too much time and effort are you done hey you put them back in on your own that's um great okay then uh we'll wait until you're at least mobile before we crack open the ancient Danger just in case we need to run off the tile I would like to have them mobile oh god can we run with a baby this is really going to complicate things you it's kind of annoying that she was the only one who was a construction worker if she if there was anyone else who had construction I would have taken them just to the grounds that this is going to make things so inconvenient H but I suppose that's half the fun of roral isn't it well that we've no idea what kind of other monstrosities are going to come after us after that invisible ghast thing and now we have a group of shambling rotting cougar corpses is approaching someone human Force has reanimated these Liv bodies and sent them to murder they now wander through the area if they see a human they will ATT attack if not they will leave in a few days if you can capture one you can study it for anomaly knowledge uh H shambling cougar eh I mean I would like to capture it you need to get back inside uh we need to close that door as well uh we need somewhere to contain it so maybe over here yeah give me a minute we might be able to do like I would ATD Le to get ah like to at least get started on the anomaly stuff it's just pette is a researcher and this whole child birth thing has kind of knocked that on the Noggin until she at least gets over her postpartum exhaustion uh and she's going to be taking care of a kid so her time is going to be spent between learning the occult and uh taking raising a kid you know full-time job and all that list sh standing listlessly right new research available what huh your discovery of the shambler cougar shambler cougar has yielded new insights you can now research the following anomaly project draw shamblers perform a psychic ritual which will draw a horde of animated corpses while hostile the corpses won't attack your colony directly they can be captured for study I do you like to draw animals one which will draw a herd of animals I would really like to draw herds of animals here so that we can you know kill them for meat and stuff but we'll worry about all of that later for now uh we're going to yeah I think we're going to build a little room over here huh another Harbinger tree right uh yeah yeah yeah narl trees raw meat the usual oh that's excellent corpse disposal wonder what we get out of this in exchange you know what doesn't matter disposal of corpses is good enough for me though I suppose our shambler or our ghoul can eat corpses so not sure it's perfect all right over here we've almost got this containment facility completed uh once that's done I suppose we can beat the snot out of that cougar and and uh then if assuming it survives deliver security door or okay okay yeah yeah we need two components 50 PL steel and a lot of work I'm thinking we're going to get this finished by pet though uh her construction skill is eight which is better actually what's her depression at or exhaustion hey her exhaustion's almost over which is kind of impressive it's like a couple of days later and she's like yep I just pushed an entire human being out of me I am good to rock get that completed now where is that uh cougar thingy what is your speed 3.5 dumb you are 4.4 4.64 uh we can draw them back closer to here so we don't have to carry them quite so far uh hopefully we can beat them up and they don't die while we're beating them up pette you should be incapable of failing this just like completely incapable okay good that would have been an enormous waste of components and we would have had to find more plasti well a few things need to be done really quickly uh one you need to go down here and annoy that Chambler where is it shuffling listlessly yep there we go I think it's cenus uh smirk get up here buddy we want to get your shooting skills working come come on and then while the baby is getting breastfed over there we're going to do our jobs hmark what's your shoot skill two oh my God this is going to give you valuable experience so it's an undead cougar versus an undead human yeah this is perfectly normal okay still not damn it it died I spent all that time building this well that's fine then we'll just have to slow lad it up you back to work smirk how you looking your shooting skills actually went up quite substantially couple more one more of that you'll have a little bit more going on for yourselves open this door though we need to keep that open just in case we have any bad oh wait a minute where are you going uh I'm not I don't want to feed it to the trees I want to chop it up and feed it to our uh our ghoul never mind turns out the moment it's dead it just reverts to being a cougar corpse a a rotten cougar corpse so because it's a rotten cougar corpse it can just go straight over into the uh the tree pile H those trees should grow up nice and strong I suppose he you can see the rot stench coming off of it all right and we're probably going to need religion to adapt to uh having corpses just lying about the place uh chop up that and then I think the very next thing we're going to do is go and crack open that ancient danger uh pette is pretty mobile right now and she got her knife back on her yeah she picked back up her knife automatically that is just some of the changes they've made are so nice for example you right click on a room and you can go clean kitchen this was in the allow tool so now you can just click on a room and clean an entire room instead of having to click on every individual piece of dirt oh just such quality of life improvements like that or well basically nicking them from the mods I suppose but whatever it works that's time we've got everything set up Pet's on our feet uh dump shet is fully healed from their last encounter and we are going to pop open this and what do we got that's not what I wanted to see okay okay okay we pull back we draw them over the traps right um the milter is going to die in one trap that leaves three for the centipede Gunner that should severely hurt it and then once it's over that we'll get dumb to engage it in close cor so it can't use that minigun and then we shoot it with the shotgun and we'll have to get pett in to attack it from the rear but if it turns in pette we got to like get her out of there she can't take many hits uh you guys all pull back immediately come on what are they doing and maybe we need to give them some encouragement it's enough of that don't to put anyone at risk we don't have to how do we found the only non-aggressive ones here come on come on come on no nope nope nope don't want your traing shots that's just a that's just a way to get yourself killed this is actually a great experience Farm we can pop out take a shot pop back in before he can wind up the machine gun huh and transport pod crash relationship a transport pod carrying a ravenously hostile ghoul has landed nearby and closer inspection provs to be king a previous member of your coup the G is currently in shock but will soon recover and attack anyone it sees um capture kill it before the wakes King has a relationship with the colonist he is smirk son-in-law are you kidding me okay so you're related to smirk you're smk's father oh your father-in-law's a ghoul I supposed he bit um we need you to immediately capture them capture King dark psychic shock will last 4 hours so long as she gets there quickly enough in the meantime this is actually working out really great we get in free damage and they get in free shooting experience they're already up to like level three shooting well they gained a whole level it's not great but yoink what is ancient Mech oh this is the mechanoid start yeah yeah this is um the mechor mechor whatever the thing that makes Mex we might get pet into that she's got the science but her crafting skill is still pretty weak sauce H you know what we're going to have to send smirk home in a bit but if we can put some damage on this before we go home then whenever these things do wander out across these or we can come back tomorrow and take more pot shots like this is upping their shooting skill which is great for us I mean they're they're over their learned Max already so maybe go home for the day that might be the idea let's just go uh tomorrow we can come back and do this again in fact how's those walls loading up I might want to repair the walls before I go walls are repaired we can come back tomorrow and do some more uh smashing of stuff uh centipede Gunner is not exactly lost a lot of Health I mean it's injured but I don't think this thing is going to be going down anytime soon most of the damage we've put is on several of the Rings oh little bit to the reactor we'll come back tomorrow take some pot shots and then we'll leave again okay cool now transfer okay okay select what else can we do with this study release execute maintain only study researchers will study the entity release um will release the en entities may be hostile un released execute maintain only allow medicine we'll go with Doctor care no medicine the thing can actually heal up super fast anyway study interval two days Escape interval never okay and then we got to do some changes to pet you can do dark study now yeah why not let's see if that will help our uh knowledge of things how do we recruit one of these things no what are you doing don't have a social fight that's not good why are you social fighting what happened Smur consulted Pet's open-mindedness open-mindedness you've got a freaking tentacle coming out of you and she's being open-minded and you're gonna like you're closed-minded how how does that fine beat each other to death oh yeah he takes out a shotgun at the end that's that's great you just got a fist fight started a fist fight in front of a mother oh and uh yeah dumb shit's over here getting some fresh meat you guys are the worst Muppets okay okay uh we'll get the medical tens let's make sure no one's got anything too bad right you kept your eyes your fingers and your toes uh yeah your middle finger you almost lost it yeah I wonder why okay you uh tidy this place up if you wouldn't want mind that will make sure that the tend quality of everyone gets would just be that little bit higher because of the cleanliness and yeah dumb you can come back home oh bashet is now studying this thing uh can you study this for a minute I would like to make sure like if we could recr this guy that would be great having two ghouls or yeah two ghouls instead of one probably good times oh should probably select something in here void provocation build a psychic ritual spot and performs various rituals use the void provocation ritual to discover new entities biop ferite harvesting um to generate bofer from captured entities contained in the holding platforms and entity containment I think I'm going to go void provocation to start actually yeah that totally works oh ucker or not uh what I was shooting at this thing uh the shot missed it and hit one of these ancient crypto steep caskets which if you shoot an ancient crypto sleep casket and there's someone alive in it it opens all the ancient crypto sleep caskets which is why both of these are now open and oh let's just hope none of them are ones we were going to recruit staggering ugly and gormand don't care Nimble and voice anti- Toler don't care when looking at the skills they've got to have the traits we want and if you want to join the cult culu you got to be either well a psychopath a blood lust or a body modder you got to have one of those three traits otherwise not hiring you it's just it's sort of a dramatic thing we're going through H how about if we can go here can we get a shut off oh exit what is that gun you're wielding it looks a bit odd Hellcat rifle cool versatile assault rifle with good R decent power and good accuracy it also comes equipped with a biof ferite powered mini burner unit which generates a blast of flame from pressurized bioer charges the mini Burn Unit can be used twice before bof before refueling oh right so it's basically an under over flamethrower or flame blast on an assault rifle that's probably a little bit worse than the assault I think the the basic assault rifle does 12 damage and has I want to say 32 range i' have to go look it up uh range this is 27 so it's slightly shorter ranged more somewhere between heavy machine gun and the assault rifle huh what about you that's just a yeah that's a flamethrower right yeah bio coded incend don't care about you then we would like to get that Flack Fest off you so if you didn't die immediately that would be good oh we would like that oh the place is on fire oh this is bad we need this guy to die then you see the thing is if he doesn't die the Flames will spread to these guys and we won't be able to get in there and put them out and I kind of want that gun we need a gun come on come come on yeah like you're doing nothing you do realize you're firing fire at a fire immune thing and now you're stopping to puke that's okay at least the puke might keep you safe from the fire that's going to try and spread to you we're shooting this thing with a shotgun we're doing so little damage oh oh damn it out of the way out of the way okay okay how are we looking on the shooting front our shooting's actually gone up to level four damn this is good for experience out of the way damn it damn it damn it I really want that Hellcat rifle I think I think I'm going to take a risk it's do this we're going to open this up dumb in you go NOP no no no no you come back here quickly quickly quickly go here come on come on come on please go down oh yes yes yes yes yes yes uh down here quick come [Music] on no no no prioritizing extinguishing that fire go go go go go go go go go go go go okay all right that actually works shiny new gun double blast flamethrower built in I think I think this works and what's in this hermetically sealed crate skill trainer for crafting oh that's actually I mean like we can give that to pette but it'll only take them up two or three levels but it might be necessary I think it's it's going to be a long time before we get anyone else into the colony so these two are going to have to carry a lot of weight so yeah Pet's going to have to use this for now though time to carry some of this loot home that's gold that is basically money oh how about this gear on you that Flack vest is Tainted but that might not be the worst thing in the world we can't can we avoid that with if someone's got blood lust I don't think they care about tainted clothing so pet could probably wear that it's like that's something I never really think about but bloodlust has a couple of advantages to it that you never think about CU you're never really this desperate uh all right so you can carry that home H well just give me a second I was taking care of this and a wild woman has wandered in h you can attempt to tame her yeah unless they've got any of the traits we're looking for we're not going to care GE bio nudest with great memory I mean we could use a cook uh but you don't have have any of the traits we're looking for all right uh where's our gas ghoul damn it I'm going to keep getting messing that up aren't I all right so our ghoul can go take care of them in a bit and then they can be snack food for either them or for the trees over here in fact might be an idea to stick those in storage somewhere they' they'd make good snack food for now I know that's going to affect morale having you know that in the free brige but it does mean okay one second when you've done that I want you to prioritize butchering up that last animal uh then there is a couple of these guys I'm going to want you to get butcher those up as well and then no one will have to go into the fridge for a while Peter is coming over because we've repaired up the ancient crypto sleep casket in case we need to stick someone in it and then after she's done that the first thing she's going to do is she's going to use the skill trainer it's probably only going to give her a couple of levels maybe six sad Wonder from schirk why how bad were you cold minor pain Recreation unfulfilled yeah well I did keep you out there a long time that's my bad that is my bad sad wonder is oh let's hope nothing bad happens in the next well we need them to be like they're pretty much vital to our defense strategy considering the gun they've got uh equip that shotgun while you're here I'm also going to want you to force you to wear that Flack vest I left them made them leave their knife at home so they're this is cutting down on the amount of traveling they're going to need to do yep they have no problems wearing a tainted flak vest which is good because we're also going to force them to wear this hyperweave button- down shirt because well they also have their shirt at home uh this is better for well everything tainted Flack vest zero uh thought disabled by Blood lust Hells yeah all right and we might as well bring that Su pulser back home too right smirk has recovered uh currently we've got pette wandering around and basically stocking up the fridge with all the well all the meat we've got lying around the place they have to to take frequent breaks to do breastfeeding taking care of the baby and all that and we haven't had any chance to do any science and what are they doing in here that's actually perfect that leaves them even closer to the fridge yett is taking the baby out of there she's like uh fleeing with them smirk you know what let's see how your gun works works pretty good excellent uh everyone back to work then I suppose and this is why we get to keep the Corpses around uh this saves us like I'm I'm kind of concerned about how much meat we need to keep this ghoul alive and we need a steady supply of meat to do it uh we're basically Getting By by killing any animals that wander in off the map but like there's nothing left we've literally strip mined all of the animals and what happens when we get toxic Fallout stuff like that we need a more sustainable source so if I can get them to well consume the corpses instead that gives us a better chance though I still want to feed these things and see how impressive they can become these things it's 58% grown oh yeah we we'll throw them a couple of like I'd prefer to keep them the rotten corpses and things like that the stuff we cannot utilize they can have those I think yep we've just finished our first one um so we've got which deadens the target psychic sensitivity and temply boosts the ritual of invoker psychic sensitivity so it's a psychic sensitivity booster that yeah does brain damage to like you basically use prisoners as psychic boosters for like temporarily skip abduction perform a psychic ritual that abducts a random hostile person from anywhere in the world putting them in a short-term coma for capture who that is amazing we former psychic ritual with draws a herd of animals that I kind of like because it gives us money and that's one thing we're kind of short of at the moment uh then after that I'm not even sure draw shamblers do you like the look of ghoul enhancements adrenal heart corrosive heart ghoul barbs ghoul plating met meta metal blood heart and gou Resurrection means you can bring them back to life even if they die there's there's some good stuff in here also I got to do you know basic research that would would also be nice uh we need to get ourselves a a greenhouse set up so that we can survive toxic fallouts and things like that unless there's other stuff in here I'm missing actually if you can use draw animals consistently to pull animals onto the tile maybe that could feed you all the way through a toxic Fallout or you know a freeze a winter that kind of stuff huh interesting you know what first things first though I want to get some defenses up and running uh so we're going to rior we're going to reuse those traps we've got sitting over here it's a bit dangerous because moving them moving them has the chances that the person moving them gets hurt it's not always a guarantee but you know what let's just see we're going to have about say one two three traps well pet managed to move the first one uh smirk is moving on to the second one and then it's probably pette for the third one as well y okay what what are you doing holding steel to to stockpile you didn't decide to move the traps you're just going to let the the mother do it oh smirk I'm just saying like that that's cold man that is cold all right now you're going to haul the last Spike track just you know don't change your mind along the way plan would be we could use these three to soften up a raid in some way and we'll have everyone come in through here we'll leave that door open for now it just it helps soften things up if things get really really hairy which on this difficulty it probably will I've also put in a door in here to stop anything in here degrading and yeah all that stuff will eventually get dragged over to storage I kind of feel like destroying the stuff in here the thing is this stuff is all well it adds to the wealth of the tile so if it's destroyed it adds wealth to the might be an idea to deconstruct everything on the map if you want to be incredibly thorough it's just I don't like having extra wealth we don't need says the man with a whole bunch of leather sitting around the place that we haven't used yet which reminds me we have a steel electric and tailoring bench so we were going to make dusters might as well that should be just about right oh and we've also got a drop of cargo pods looks to be medicine uh 25 yeah 24 of that horrible stuff we'll grab that and stick it into storage we're also running a little bit low on steel I'm very steel happy on this play through in fact at some point I should rip down those steel walls and replace them with slate uh for now food wise we're Tiding over pretty good and our next crop of potatoes will come in soon unless uh let's not let's not blight our chances by saying anything that might uh risk a loss I'm pretty sure the baby does not like the rain or the sound or the storm or whatever the hell is going on uh that's going to mess with pett my baby is crying slep in cold I might want to also heat the place up just a little bit what is your produ crafting Skillet like her crafting skill is pretty terrible but it should be good enough for what we need even if we can just get a few normal dusters I mean okay that's probably pushing it but even poor dusters would probably be sufficient to keep them death Paul Dark Death great cloud is descended on the area is made of microscopic self-powered arites creating by some Unknown super intelligence where they land on dead flesh they will enter the body and reanimate it to create a twisted Imitation of Life the dead will rise burn bury destroy remove corpses indoors to prevent them from resuscitating okay uh don't know if this counts for our ghoul and the only bodies we've got we've actually disposed of those the only bodies we got are in the fridge and I'm an idiot I mean okay we all know that but what I hadn't realized was like I know smirk is a psychopath which means they don't mind if a body gets butchered but what I didn't realize blood lust also counts for that I wanted to see if Psychopaths could wear tainted clothing so I looked this up on the wiki uh yeah no Psychopaths can't wear tainted clothing however what I hadn't noticed was blood lust over here they have no mood penalty for observing fresh corpses rotten corpses knew that human butchering did not know that organ harvesting executions uh innocent colonist prisoners debt uh wearing tainted clothing blinding ceremonies they get a nice mood bonus for wearing clothing made out of human skin which is a thing uh plus eight mood bonus for witnessing A stranger's death plus 13 if they get to kill the stranger themselves h no opinion loss for arguing harvesting and a bunch of other stuff so basically by accident we have a blood lust and a semi accient I suppose we have a blood lust in a cannibal person and none of them are actually body moders yet so we can butcher all those people in the fridge and no one will mind huh new research available your discovery of the Dead Paul has yielded new insights you can now research the following anomal projects dead life dust huh deadli dust craft devices that produce cleans of microscopic arites the arites can reanimate corpses to produce deadly shamblers that will only attack your enemies nice dead deadli pack a single-use pack that launches a capsule foots explodes into deadli dust the dust animates humans and animal corpses as shamblers that will only attack your enemies dead life dust is composed of microscopic machines blah blah blah that's a utility to building deadli shells oh this must be for mortars an artillery shell packed with dust like substances yeah settle on nearby human and animal corpses and raise them as shamblers the shamblers only attack your enemies can be fired from mortars or installed as a trap explodes when damaged oh that's so one batch of mortar shells hits the attacking wave kills a bunch of them then the second list of dead ey shells brings them all back to life to fight their former colleagues that's um I don't know how practical it would be but I really want to try it next up I'd like to get some self-contained bedrooms for our pawns Maybe because we're going to want to hire people shortly and a couple of self-contained B rooms mean we can actually keep prisoners in there and what happened the light something to get dark I really feel like suddenly Shadows came over everything the weather effects have gotten greatly improved and the ambient noises I like oh if you could uh prioritize constructing that that would be great okay and we shall leave that steel door open and you should probably get those slate blocks out of the way I'm also going to move these a little bit I think H just you know we're going to have it so that people can come through here and we'll probably wall in down here also H yeah we have to put another steel door I'm going to run out of steel because I'm just too spend happy with it but once this is sort of done I think we'll be fine I should probably put another steel door over here somewhere well we need ways of everyone getting out and doing their things so from what I can tell the way anomaly research works is it's completely separate from regular research you just study things you've captured now this one's giving us 0.41 basic this one also gives the 0.4 basic but there seems to be a limit you can only study a certain amount of them so if you want to really Advance rapidly you're going to need to capture a whole bunch of enemies and since there's only basic and I presume there's another more advanced research section that means we're going to need more advanced stuff to study later probably that red line right there yeah Advanced psychic rituals perform Advanced psychic rual was to get that one this one is just regulars okay okay I think I know where we're going here and in the meantime smirk is getting valuable construction experience they're probably going to end up a decent Constructor one we either just from all the practice they're going to get W Pet's like a full-time mother plus an occultist plus a Constructor plus a researcher plus an artist you know she's got a like a full plate uh also she's got severe blood lust H and I was also thinking just to make her plate even more fa we do have this thing over here do ancient exos suit midsection thing where we can turn her into a mechor later on that might be something to look into I would prefer a bit more armor and weapons first though I was complaining about animals not showing up but look a whole herd have of bopes bopes in a desert that's um yeah that could be tricky any of you got any health conditions uh may we could start shooting at them but that could get really messy and we can't send dumb after them he'll just get himself blown up h might want to let those pass by we definitely have enough human meat to keep us going for a while longer hey and we get the quest active ship to the Stars that's like the very very first one yep all the way over on the opposite side of the map it's always the opposite side to wherever your colony is and I can never remember what our Colony looks like ah here we are light blue right there right in the middle of the desert oh this is a there's tou over there we're actually in a frozen desert it's very weird h so should I be making dusters or should I be thinking about something a little bit warmer like it goes from minus33 to plus 21 that's not a that's not a nice range that means we're going to have snow and a lot of dead crops during the winter Quest available a friend needing help Sonia Baker Prime steersman of Henda is requesting a favor her friend Sam spins some is interested in learning about other cultures and she wants to host him at tentacles and technology for 18 days spin some will not do any work appreciates Colony appreciates quality accommodation you will gain Goodwill with Hender if you keep his average mood above 50% useless Jean pack Elegance of terrorism what Recreation gain multiplier 180% yeah so this doesn't actually improve any skills it's just really good Recreation I don't want any of that no all right uh we're slowly expanding out here it's just currently pett is busy making a duster for herself and we'll have schmeck put on the camel hiide duster they actually managed to produce a normal camh high duster which is going to give plus 20 heat insulation and 9.6 cold insulation which should hopefully be enough uh that means they have to take off their lab coat they've all been wearing lab coat so far now the uh the duster that pett is getting is a little bit different we ran out of camel hiide we only had 7 8 and we needed an 80 for a duster however we did have 80 human leather was the only thing we could make it out of okay this was not planned it was just all our other options are like just we don't have any so yeah uh before you study that maybe I'm going to get you to wear that right now currently actually let's just check something Max comfortable temperature 40 to 40.8 to- 4.4 39.2 to- 1. actually the lab coat is better however her mood is probably going to be improved yep human leather duster plus two hey I mean I didn't realize it was going to be that bad I'm going to have to actually switch her into some other clothing but it was worth a try wait a boomop of soft t uh well that's awkward you're probably going to shoot it anyway so great I suppose now we can't pen them so I suppose now is as good a time that I need to go shoot it h Quest available the hunted prator a prator of the Fallen Empire is calling from nearby his guards are killed in nush he escaped with now being followed by a man hunting guinea pig yeah diin wants to keep him safe blah blah blah bestow it Honor on whoever accepts the quest H well yeah actually we'll wait until morning until everyone's awake then we'll accept it oh I just realized something this is dead now so is this going to come back to life unless I get it back inside um who's just about finished with sleep priortize holding that ostrich if you wouldn't mind is that going to come back to life in my kitchen that could be awkward I'll keep an eye on it but uh maybe the death pole just needs time to take effect or something I just assumed the death pole would bring anything back to life oh the pole is clearing excellent exent exent exit now I'm thinking what we're going to do is I was going to kill that boomalope but I'm thinking we take it to Market and sell it might be worthwhile and I think the only CH the only choice to do is to send smirk namely because he's got our highest social as well as that pet well they have to take care of the baby H it does leave us in an awkward situation though how do we make sure that schmeck doesn't die in the trip we could send him with dumb but then that's leaving the colony entirely undefended baring well some steel spike traps we might have to though I think it's we also want to get rid of this gold and it's going to be like a day Journey it's like six of a day there from what I can tell but I do want to start clearing wealth off the tile and preferably investing into things like Flack vests and guns and things we can use and also I need to get in more void Monet studying and stuff like that and well there's a lot of things I'd like to get done but with two people it's going to be kind of slow we're going to be stuck with uh pet and schirk for a long time and dumb uh but don't worry don't worry they will slowly get better at everything and I'm like I'm trying to think what are we going to like pette is probably going to end up with too much stuff on her plate like who do we give the title to can we give it to someone who's I don't can't give it to someone who's abrasive because that will cause problems if you turn them into a royal giving it to a psychopath seems just about right make making a psychopath Royal could fit so I think schirk might end up being our pyter slash you know whatever you want to call it and pette will end up probably getting the mechat thing so we're going to have a very small elite team of scientists doing a lot of very questionable ethical things and their kid who I have to name now should I name them after one of the patrons or should I give them a name more suitable for someone who's been born on the the eve of a monolith so like you know something like Damian or you know what I'll leave up if you've got any suggestions let me know I'm going to let that one Stew in the back of my brain until the next episode this week's going to be nothing but anomaly because I really want to catch up with this and I haven't had enough time to play it yet so all week is just going to be nothing but roral sorry not sorry so this has been episode two of anomaly I hope you enjoyed it good luck [Music] [Applause] [Music]
