SS14 - Advanced Anomaly Guide 

28:13 "this will definitely hear up the nearby rooms" with that background has the same energy as "this will effect the trout population" on the backgroune of a nuke

one time i was just walking somewhere and science let an electric anomaly go supercritical and i got instantly critted out of nowhere with zero warning, it was such a jumpscare lol

After being a complete anomalist twice, looking out for two anomalies at the same time, not letting them go crit, and always watching for them to provide points, and those shifts were going almost in a row, I just feel completely different, watching this video...

The only time my science team was able to contain a flesh anomaly for a long period of time was having an artifact spawn it in a artifact chamber. We were able to just space that room and have the mobs die in there. For some reason the mobs were only spawning within the chamber as well. It was interesting.

im thankful you told people about the remote signaller, pretty much everyone dont think of that tip and always let them go crit

You can actually build a plasma window ON TOP of the gravity anomaly (literally on the same tile of the anomaly) to completely block off radiation, and so only having to use 2 plasma glass. It's a bit tricky to build since the anomaly will keep pulling and reset your progress, but if you are careful and keep inching back to your original spot while it's pulling you, it's completely doable. Same going for Ice and Heat anomalies, although the reason as for why you'd want to build a window on top of them is not radiation obviously (so doesn't necessarily have to be a plasma window), but to block off the heat and cold that each constantly emits at each pulse. Though for the heat one, there is also indeed that spacing set up shown, which is arguably even better.

We need a video on parts as I have seen many people not know what advanced/super/bluespace part tiers do and not know how to upgrade things

They should definitely let you contain the meat anomalies with railings again. Just walling anomalies off is usually boring but in this case it was fun both to build and to try slipping through as a shortcut.

Nice video, definitely helpful for new players.

Yesterday I learned about the vessel system. Now learning I can remote shoot the APE is amazing.

Once we can dye or paint individual objects somehow, I think a color spraying one would be cool. everything on the selected tiles the color changed. Chaotic and I would guess harmless.

I sneezed and then you immediately said "that's nothing to sneeze at"

Thanks so much for the guides bro, it helps a lot. Hate feeling so stupid all the stupid playing this game.

Had fun with a rock anomaly in sci on marathon. Anomaly psawned in artifact room and the rd decided to go put an artifact in chamber just as it pulsed. The sci was in a race against time to free the rd before every space in that chamber became rock and the rd suffocated. In end it was a massive task with sec helping out but as i was mining the last rock i died to my wounds and the rd suffocated encased in rock. I think 5 of us died in that rescue attempt including an engineer and it hadnt even gone supercrit. We had pickaxe as well but mobs are quite dangerous. My advise is to ignore the gemstone rocks as those have potential to contain mobs unless u really need to break rock. Also once seen a liquid anom go supercrit and kill 20 crew members at the bar.

Proper containment for a liquid anomlay is getting atmo to box it in, and space the tile its on.

Soon we will get Shadow anomaly. It's fun when people have such creativity to add crazy stuff

For the bluespace anomaly it can help to have pAIs as teleport entities.

Great video. So hyped for the component video

What's funny is that I was using the remote signaler strategy on that shift with Hammy's funeral and the star seminar next door. (Turns out hamsters absorb radiation very well, especially when the anom isn't being watched directly...)

Doing Gods work Lilten. Thanks for the vid!

Electric anomalies really should be able to be blocked from harming others via grounding rods or something. Having more rewarding counterplay I feel would be good game design.

Oh boy, now when I accidentally blow up half the station with a supercritical I can realize just how stupid that was! Thank you Mr Lighterhead!

One big advanced tipp more: When a anomaly is "growing" it will produce alot more points, means you can make them "grow" and about 20 seconds before it pulses you stable them, after that let it grow again and repeat, it's more effort but you get like 25% up to 50% more points. A really good video! Thanks for the great content and i hope you will keep it up :D I think you are the biggest and best content creater in english speaking videos for this game

My biggest takeaway from this is that you should always block 5x5 or bigger area around the anomaly from any crew otherwise they can and probably will hurt themself

The gravity anomaly is pretty safe when the rads is contained with plasma glass. What is not safe is the angry mob that's yelling at sci for having themselves and their things thrown around by the pulses.

I've spent what was like an entire shift trying to get rid of a meat anomaly in the observatory of salturn, i managed the mobs by spacing the room. I've never done this before but in theory if it spawns in a very open area, if you space the room you MIGHT be able to contain it but at that point it's probably too much work/hazard to keep.

20:24 It's more fun to not space the tile so when a random person goes to remove the glass, 🔥 As for keeping the meat anom, if it spawns in a good spot, glass off the area and lazer or space the area. They will sufficate to death and earn free meat. I'm always down for a meat anom.

I imagine anomalies choose atmos a lot is because they have the most number of empty squares in their department.

Mamonalyes!!!!!😊

Liquid anomaly once spawned and injected zombie virus chemical. That was an interesting extended round

I had a pyro anom spawn inside a jailcell, much of the station was outside watching it. I threw some bombs to see if it would glow, sec got shut down. Pyro is tame for the most part but oh god when it goes crit

If you could keep a cold and a heat anomaly contained relatively close together, you could make a pretty nifty zero-resource-consumption TEG engine! ...Or just a heat anomaly and radiators, I guess. ...but AFAIK we have gas miners on all current maps, so I suppose infinite fuel/oxidizer and infinite room temperature coolant coupled with the infinite void of space to exhaust to kinda make gaming alternate heat/cold sources kinda moot.

Once upon a time a meat anomaly could be contained with just railings.

if you put an APE directly next to the rock anomaly with no tiles between them, will it ever be blocked by rock generation? If not then you could keep it fully automated in the right spot like that

Plasma windows block a lot of, bun not all radiation. Iirc u can see the exact amount somewhere in the components

I do wonder with the liquid amomaly if you can block the splashing effect with a bio suit? Or really any specialized uniform at the very least

Does electrical anomaly provide free power to station?, can you attatch a wire to it or something to tap it? Need a Tesla coil, where when not fully charged, it becomes priority target for lightning and electricity, When fully charged. it zabs nearby valid target. But can set up to drain from to harvest elec anomalys.

I remember what happend when the bluespace anom went crit in medbay, half of medbay was turned to atoms and every doctor died

How does the ss14 science system compare to the ss13 system?

One thing I wanna do, is use a flesh anomaly to train my combat, but nobody lets me :( (I also don't know how to open a private server)

One time a plant anomalie generated literally on the science table for service

Now do Atmos!

New player here. Can someone please tell me how to open anom scanner again after scanning and without scanning a second time like he does in the video?

FUCKING SCIENCE TEAM GET THE ANOM OUT OF ATMOS!

HOW TO MANAGE ANOMALIES: dont
