Just Gotten Anomaly DLC, now what do i do?

[marcus4ever2010]

basically, i bought the Anomaly DLC but i don't know what to really do because am too lazy to read the DLC's description, so can anyone help summarize the dlc for me? it would help alot because i have no idea what am doing

Interact with the monolith, then buckle up. If you don't like reading, some of the events might be a fun colony wipe.

If you are too lazy to read a dlc or anything in-game why would you suddenly put the effort in to read a forum? Study the monolith or entities, become badass.

How much description are you not lazy enough to read?

If you want it as fast as possible, there's either a monolith on your map when you start the game or most of the content starts as a bunch of events. You will face attacks from horror-themed "entities" that use non-standard methods of attack like hiding in darkness, forcing adaptations. Capturing them and containing them lets you farm bioferrite, which is a new material you make new equipment from. A research chain and event chain allows you to eventually fight very difficult encounters off your main map to shut down the anomalies (or become one with it, whatever.)

play the game and notice something strange and interact with it

Play it like you're the SCP Foundation or in a Lovecraft story I think. It does involve a bunch of reading to understand, though. I also would advise against purchasing products without reading about what they do first

Okay well, for ground expectations here's the TVTropes page on Cosmic Horror: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CosmicHorrorStory You'll also want to watch several films directed by David Cronenberg [www.imdb.com], along with whatever other body-horror themed works are easy for you to get a hold of.

update: i have FINALLY managed to survive a year with an solo colonist and is now starting (finally) production on advance fabrication.

I like that one a lot, it took me some time to figure out what was going on.

Zombies, Horror Monsters, the Cult of Cthulu and Flamethrowers... that sums up the DLC for non readers.

Activate it from the get go or start the Plot with a strange Signal.
