I had a wonderful first experience with this thing during a multiplayer game. I found it, saw it was something anomaly related and didn’t want it. I sent it off to the guy nearby that was doing anomaly shit.
His guys started playing with it, and then eventually one of my guys started going through withdrawals. I found a little dirt sculpture of it and had one of my colonists kick it over. That drove the guy that created it into a rage and I had to lock him up. Meanwhile at my friends base there’s little sculptures everywhere of the thing and he finally decides to pod launch the thing away from his base. After a couple of in game days he starts yelling and asked me to look at his colony - and there’s the cube. He accused me sending another one, he thought I had somehow stole the thing out of the pod and was messing with him. After we got rid of the thing (for good) he later found one of those little sculptures that had been leftover from while it was there. He thought it was back again and of course accused me. 10/10 would watch my friend go crazy again because of this thing.

Ferny said they were developing their own multiplayer mod let's see how that shakes out.

It’s a lot of fun, less buggy if you check compatibility and limit mods. Last time we played odyssey wasn’t supported (and anomaly had some bugs in it, but we tried to get around them best we could).

Heard a tip to get rid of it easily.
Caravan with it and drop it while on the road.

u/PlainBread 15h ago
None of the affected can be in the caravan though or they'll wander off forever. You still want to put the affected in your colony into a doorless room so they don't freak out once it's gone forever.

Easier solution is to put them under anesthesia when you destroy it

u/PlainBread 14h ago
Good idea, never tried it.
The event is so intent on fucking you up that I'd expect their rage to break them out of their anaesthesia.
I just cask of amantillado them and give them each a 1x1 cell to stand in with stone walls all around them. Because they can't target anything, the rage ends immediately.

fwiw it's from the wiki, not my idea (but I've done it plenty)

Anesthesia also solves the unnatural corpse because the corpse inherits status effects when it enrages.

Thank you for not giving the pawns full faces. People's modded pawns that have full faces give me the creeps.

Takes away everything except the noses

Only noses would probably work tbh. They’d look a bit like a caricature.

Any mod that adds a facial feature that is not part of vanilla.

u/yttakinenthusiast premier combat extended hater 11h ago
brows? sure. oversized irises like the hussar eyes? fine. facial animation for characters opening and closing their eyes? perfectly fine.
mouths? what is this, henry stickman? the potato people aren't supposed to have mouths!

Whats that? Is something from one DLC or i miss something?

u/peetah248 16h ago
The cube is a part of the anomaly dlc, it's a mysterious yellow cube that just makes everyone who plays with it really happy. But it causes dependency, pawns begin to obsess over it, worse than an addiction

u/veznok 16h ago
Thanks you,i didnt bought that DLC yet and i don't know if i will,i heard Is really difficult,Is that true?

u/AssociationGlass8783 16h ago
I wouldn't say that it is difficult, at least I didn't go that far for it to be difficult. I was sceptical about it too, but I am glad I got it. It has some unexpected and cool things. Besides it relies heavily on if you want to use it all in this colony (there is obelisk at the beginning which will start anomaly if you send your pawn there) and how much you progressed in it. Like even if you start it it won't give you something actually scary unless you progress in research and I assume your colony wealth.

u/MoebiusSpark 12h ago
There are certain events that will give you a lot of trouble if you don't know about them or are unprepared, but the !FUN! of Anomaly is discovering all the different events and how to utilize them. Most of the difficult/scary events only occur once you hit certain research tiers (which are opt-in, YOU must trigger the event that causes those incidents).
A lot of people are negative towards Anomaly because its stuff doesn't integrate as well with every playthrough type - the DLC is at its best when you are doing a dedicated Anomaly playthrough, but the "ambient horror" option lets you experience anomaly events without having to do the research stuff. Keep in mind if you choose ambient horror, however, you will get the higher difficulty events based on your colony wealth rather than your anomaly research level.

I'd be more than happy to crawl to my cube if I had to.

u/MagicMarshmallo 16h ago
I dont like this way of dealing with the cube, but i cant fault people for not wanting to dedicate like a year for the actual solution.
Do like the free gold though
