[Guide] Useful Anomalies for All You Savescumming Scallywags!

[Simoom]

Okay, so I am not writing this just for fellow savescummers; anyone can potentially benefit from this knowledge... but considering that anomalies are completely random, it probably benefits you most if you do at least some savescumming.

As a hopeless savescummer, I've have just about familiarized myself with all the anomalies in Stellaris. When I find time I will help update the Anomalies/Events section in the Stellaris wiki with a thorough list of anomalies & event chains, but for now I would like to present an abridged list of anomalies I find most useful (feel free to add to it if I omitted anything).

• Asteroids: Generally-speaking, asteroids are the BEST source of extremely good anomalies (so if you are only doing selective anomaly savescumming, use the time on asteroids). This is because a lot of the useless, crappy-reward anomalies ("Weak Signal", "On the Surface", "Solar Sailor", "Distress Signal", etc.) that trigger on other celestial body types do not spawn on asteroids. Additionally, a large number of anomaly types for asteroids generate high level research modifiers (which is the most desirable).
  • "Dustbowl" - This level 1 anomaly is deceptively pedestrian in appearance, but it is one of the BEST anomalies in the game. It has two possible outcomes: "Alien Drag Racing" (crappier result), which adds +6 Engineering to the asteroid, or "Fender Bender" (best result), which adds a whopping +9 Engineering to the asteroid (!!!).
  • "Radiating Asteroid" - A rare level 4 anomaly that only becomes available once you researched Satramene extraction. It adds +5 Physics research AND a Dark Matter strategic resource to the asteroid.
  • "Mystical" - A rare level 4 anomaly that results in the special project "The Tree" (trivia - this is in reference to the sci-fi fantasy film, The Fountain). Finishing the special project allows you to give a special elixir to your leaders (+25 year life) or your population (+5 happiness). WARNING: Researching this anomaly will spawn a hostile Space Amoeba, so make sure you have a combat fleet ready and waiting while your science ship does its work.
  • "Odd Readings" - This anomaly has two outcomes, "Corpse in Space" (crappier result - you find a coffin and must decide to open it or let it drift along), and "Adrift" (best result - you find a derelict alien ship). If you triggered "Adrift", choose to research the special project (with a construction ship) and you will then have the option to strip the alien ship's engines, which adds the "Enhanced Ship Speed" empire modifier (+15% Evasion, +15% Sublight Speed).
  • "Asteroid Waves" - A deceptively powerful level 1 anomaly. You find a primitive "brain" inside the asteroid and are presented with the choice to either study it from the surface, or excavate it and send it to the home world for research. Do NOT choose to excavate it! Doing so will always result in the lifeform dying (which generates a small amount of research points and +1000 energy, but unless you are hurting for energy, why bother?) Choosing to study the lifeform from the surface will add a +3 Engineering +3 Society modifier to the asteroid (that's +6 research points total, which is very good!)
  • "Mineral Cluster" - A level 2 anomaly that has 4 possible outcomes, 3 of which are capable of adding a trait to the scientist researching the anomaly: "Careless Pawing" (only available if your scientist doesn't have Meticulous, Carefree, or Careful traits) adds up to 1000 minerals to your storage, and depending on your choice, can grant your scientists the Careful or Carefree trait. "Crystal Codex" generates a special project that will grant you a small amount of society research and add the Statecraft trait to your scientist. "Illicit Communications" is another possible outcome, and it adds the Voidcraft trait to your scientist. The last possible outcome is "The Prince", which involves you finding & translating an alien book - the reward for it is somewhat mediocre (adds a temporary positive opinion modifier to a random AI empire), so I don't usually bother with that one.
• Toxic Planets: Toxic planets are the next-best after asteroids for powerful anomalies, as there are multiple potentially very good outcomes.
  
  • "Toxic Construction" - A rare level 4 anomaly that adds a +9 Society modifier to the planet. WARNING: Your scientist MUST HAVE the Meticulous trait for the good result (+9 Society) to occur (otherwise you get +6 Mineral instead).
  • "Toxicity" - A deceptively powerful level 2 anomaly. It adds a +6 Engineering modifier to the planet, adds the Rocketry Expertise trait to your scientist, AND grants you the exclusive empire edict, "Improved Energy Initiative" (+5 Happiness, +10% Research Speed for Materials & Industry).
  • "Posion-Coated" - A deceptively powerful level 1 anomaly. It results in a special project that costs 100 energy, and adds a whopping +9 Minerals modifier to the planet.
  • "Signs of Former Habitation" - A level 1 anomaly that has two possible outcomes: "Nuclear Devestation" (adds +2 Engineering, +2 Society modifier) and "Runaway Greenhouse Effect" (adds +2 Physics, +2 Society modifier).
    
  • "A Feel for Steel" - A level 1 anomaly that has two possible outcomes: "Ship Graveyard" (crappier result, adds +3 Mineral modifier) and "Teachings of Warriors" special project (best outcome). If you get the latter, research it to unlock the "Master's Teachings: Warring States" edict (+10% Naval Capacity, -15% Army Upkeep)
• Barren Planets (Hot): Barren planets are somewhat messy for savescumming, as they have a huge list of useless anomalies. But there are some good ones...
  
  • "Looking Down" - A powerful level 3 anomaly with two possible outcomes, both are good depending on your needs: "Unusual Techtonics" adds a massive +6 Physics, +3 Engineering modifier to the planet. "Alien Barracks" generates a special project that, if researched, adds the Military Theory trait to your scientist.
  • "Winking" - A rare level 3 anomaly that offers you a choice if researched: Studying the planet's natural processes will add a +6 Physics modifier to the planet. You also have the option to spend 200 energy to perform a "Tactical Terraform" on the planet that, if successful, instantly transforms the barren planet into a habitable one. It's advised to either visually gauge the planet to make sure it's a sizable one (or, if you want to be very sure, decompress the game file and look up the planet's exact size). If you can terraform it into a size 20+ planet, go with the terraformation option instead.
  • "Peculiar Crater" - This anomaly is actually possible on asteroids and cold barren planets as well, but it seems to be more common on hot barren planets so I'll just introduce it here. If researched, it adds +5 Engineering and the Living Metal strategic resource to the planet, as well as the research option for Living Metal (and if you already have that research option unlocked, it adds 25% progress to the research!)
  • "Atmospheric Anomaly" - A level 2 anomaly possible on both types of barren planets, it results in the "Shadow Play" modifier which adds +6 Society research to the planet.
• Barren Planets (Cold): Cold barren planets share the possibility for "Peculiar Crater" and "Atmospheric Anomaly" as hot barren planets, but do not have the possibility for "Looking Down" and "Winking". It also has all the possible useless anomalies as hot barren planets, which make them somewhat annoying for savescumming... But it does have one cool anomaly up its sleeves.
  
  • "Cold, Hard Potential" - One of the most useful anomalies in the game, this level 2 anomaly can only be triggered on cold barren planets and frozen planets. It has 4 potential outcomes:
    • "Explosions in the Sky" - Adds a temporary survey & anomaly research speed boost to your empire (120 months). This is generally the least desirable outcome.
      
    • "Strength from Small Places" - You find an interesting bacteria that you can choose to put toward military research or energy production. Putting it toward military will grant a set percentage of shield research (not recommended), whereas putting it toward energy generation will add an unique empire modifier, "Enhanced Solar Power", which adds +5 energy output empire-wide.
    • "Teachings of Explorers" - One of the must-have outcomes, it issues a special project that once researched, grants the "Master's Teachings: Philosophical Mindset" edict (+10% Research Speed to Society).
    • "Diamond in the Rough" - Pretty much the only outcome you want once you have obtained the previous two. This outcome offers you two choices:
      • Promote the Protege Scientist: You gain a new scientist leader. The new scientist is GUARANTEED to have the "Spark of Genius" as the first trait (+10% Research Speed), with a second trait being random. If savescumming, you can spam reload the dialogue box until you create a powerful combination (such as Spark of Genius + Maniacal or Sentient AI Assistant). Oh, and the planet gets a +5 Physics modifier.
      • Keep the Protege on Board: The science ship you used to research the anomaly gains a unique (temporary - lasts 7200 days) modifier that adds +10% Anomaly Discovery Chance, -20% Anomaly Fail Risk, and +20% Anomaly Research Speed (the tooltip for the dialogue box only lists the anomaly research bonus, which is incorrect; the exact code segment for the modifier is as follows:
        

        protege_onboard = {
            ship_anomaly_research_speed_mult = 0.20
            ship_anomaly_fail_risk = -0.20
            ship_anomaly_generation_chance_mult = 0.10
        }

• Frozen Planet: Frozen planets shares all the useless anomalies as barren planets, but it has two good potential anomalies: "Cold, Hard Potential" (also possible on cold barren planets), and "Life Signs".
  • "Life Signs" - There's a possible anomaly called "Life Signs" for most of the celestial body classes (barren, frozen, toxic, asteroids, and gas giants). Most of them adds a +3 Society modifier (except for the barren one, which adds +3 Mineral and is therefore the crappiest), but the Frozen planet's Life Signs anomaly is unique: It contains two phases. The first phase involves researching the anomaly itself, which adds +3 Society to the planet, as expected - but then it prompts you about a special project called "Mount Deep Sea Expedition". Successfully completing this special project generates two possible outcomes: The crappier outcome grants +200 experience points to your scientist. The better outcome grants the experience, plus a large amount of Engineering research points, AND adds +5 Engineering +Living Metal modifier to the planet!
• Gas Giants: Gas giants don't really have anything amazing. There are a small handful of anomalies that add +3 of a science type, +3 minerals, or +3 energy to a gas giant. The only really note-worthy anomaly in the Gas Giants category is "Gas Giant Signal".
  • "Gas Giant Signal" - Chances are you have come across this one already; it's a level 3 anomaly in which you make contact with an alien species who wishes to migrate to a new home world. You end up ferrying them around multiple times throughout the course of the event chain, and each time they add a +6 Society modifier to the gas giant they migrate to.
• Habitable Worlds: Habitable worlds in general have their own set of anomalies (different from barren planets & asteroids). Most of them have to do with adding or modifying tile resources or discovering a pre-sentient species. But there are some notable anomalies to discover:
  
  • "What Hums in the Night" (Any Type) - This level 3 anomaly has a chance to occur on any habitable planet. It has two possible outcomes: The first outcome adds 20% progress to your next-tier Biology Lab research. The second outcome adds an Alien Toy Factory to the planet's surface (tile location is random, savescum if you need it on a specific tile). The Toy Factory adds a whopping +6 Engineering +3 Society to the tile.
  • "Spotty Greenery" (Topical/Ocean/Continental) - This level 2 anomaly has two outcomes: "Cornucopia" (crappier outcome, adds a +3 food tile to the planet), and "Ancient Automata" (best outcome, adds a Autonomous Fabricator to the planet). The Autonomous Fabricator is the same kind of mineral production facility used by Fallen Empires, and generates a whopping +12 Minerals.
    
  • "Nutritious Fruit" (Tropical) - A level 2 anomaly that only triggers on Tropical worlds, it adds the "Nutritious Fruit" modifier to the planet which causes +10% Happiness and +20% Growth Speed.
  • "Among the Vines & Trees" (Tropical) - A level 2 anomaly that adds the "Migrating Forest" modifier to the planet. This adds a single, un-removable blocker tile which has the adjacency effect of +2 Society research.
  • "Arid and Abandoned" (Arid) - A level 3 anomaly in which you find an abandoned alien sensor array on the planet. You have the option to scrap it for +1000 minerals or repairing it - choose the repair option to unlock the edict "Extensive Sensor Searches" (+25% planet sensor range) as well as adding a +200% sensor range modifier to the planet itself.
  • "Buried in the Sand" (Desert) - A level 2 anomaly that has two possible outcomes (both useful); the first outcome involves the discovery of an ancient sentient AI, which you can repurpose to be an Admiral for your fleet. The AI Admiral is unique in that it starts off with an age of 1 (so it will stick around for a long long time, though not immune to death through old age) as well as two traits already slotted ("Aggressive" and "Fleet Logistician"). This means it can potentially have more total traits than normal Admirals (by earning them through command and leveling). The second outcome creates a special project "Teachings of Settlers", which unlocks the "Master's Teachings: The Greater Good" edit (-10% Building Cost, +10% Building Speed).
  • "Planetary Scars" (Continental/Tropical/Tundra) - Level 2 anomaly. Creates a special project that allows you to reverse engineer the super weapon of an extinct alien species. There's a high chance of getting lesser outcomes (+200 leader experience), but if you succeed (about 25% chance), you will get one of the following: Particle Lance (if you have laser starting weapon), Kinetic Artillery (if you have kinetic), or Swarmer Missiles (if you have missiles).

 

[Little Red]

What about the towel anomaly?

 

[Simoom]

What about the towel anomaly?

Towels are indeed very useful, yes. It must have slipped through my mind.

 

[Prador]

Thanks for the information and updating the wiki, very helpfull. I will never savescum though

 

[Jorrhast]

"Alien Drag Racing" (crappier result), which adds +6 Engineering to the asteroid

that's +6 research points total, which is very good!

So, uh, is 6 science good or bad?

 

[Seryss]

So, uh, is 6 science good or bad?

It's good, how good depends on your pops science bonuses from traits, planets, etc. Even if you have amazing pops 1 energy for 6 science is still good you'd always take it. A tier 1 lab (not basic) would need a + 2 tile underneath to give the same total science without bonuses for 1.5 energy, and the other negative affects of pops like consumer goods, tradition, and science costs, etc. it's also cheaper to build.

+3 and up science space constructions are honestly usually worth building, +2 and lower (barring strategic resources) not so much, unless you're going tall, and have the energy to spare.

 

[V.aXe]

As a filthy savescummer myself i really appreciate this

Hope you update it though, as i am still relatively new to the game the more i can manipulate the better!

 

[Azrai]

So, uh, is 6 science good or bad?

it's a matter of what you're comparing it to for each event

 

[jdrou]

it's a matter of what you're comparing it to for each event

Exactly. In this case the alternative is +9 Engineering which is obviously better than +6 (which is still good though).

 

[Neocv]

There is a anomaly in the toxic planet, that adds a robotic factory in the planet(+5 engineering), but once instead of this outcome, I got the planet to change to habitable, with the +5 engineering, not sure if the later is still possible to get(since I only got it once in a previous update), or if require a specific scientist trait.

Also there is a anomaly that I found that add +5 society in ocean worlds, giving the modifier Ancient One(basically a bunch of algaes that exist in the ocean floor and gained conscience).

Also I really wish that anomalies in habitable planets were a little more common, I mean I got dozens of alien corpse per game, but find a single anomaly in a habitable planet is a challenge. But I sidetracked a little.

 

[Jorrhast]

Sounds like something from mod. Or maybe these are new anomalies added in 1.8.

 

[WealthyAardvark]

There is a anomaly in the toxic planet, that adds a robotic factory in the planet(+5 engineering), but once instead of this outcome, I got the planet to change to habitable, with the +5 engineering, not sure if the later is still possible to get(since I only got it once in a previous update), or if require a specific scientist trait.

Last I checked all of this is commented out. I never got to see that outcome myself, it sounded pretty cool.

 

[DarkFenX]

I'd say that such lists are useful not only for save-scummers. I'm playing ironman, but some notes from here are particularly useful, for example that the best result of Toxic Construction needs meticulous trait. Sure I might not savescum to get it, but at least i can get my meticulous scientist to investigate it which may prove beneficial.

If there're any other trait-dependent anomalies which have significant outcome changes, I'd like to know.

 

[Wolfgang I]

This list is indeed useful even for people playing ironman.
I often save the anomalies which give traits for spark of genius scientists.
Even better is saving some of those anomalies for curator scientist. I really like adding statecraft to one of those.

 

[Drowe]

Thanks, that's useful for everyone even if you're not save-scumming.

 

[Saori]

some anomalies changed - adrift afaik doesnt give the evasion buff anymore.

 

[WealthyAardvark]

some anomalies changed - adrift afaik doesnt give the evasion buff anymore.

army_speed_boost = {
    ship_evasion_mult = 0.15
    ship_speed_mult = 0.15
}

- 02_static_modifers , 1.6.2

army_speed_boost = {
    ship_speed_mult = 0.10
}

- 02_static_modifers , 1.8.3

Not only that, but the speed boost is down too.

If there're any other trait-dependent anomalies which have significant outcome changes, I'd like to know.

The Melting Point: if you take control of the station and the scientist who studied the anomaly has the Voidborne trait, your empire gains the Zero-G Innovations modifier (spaceport module cost -10%).

furthermore, from reading the files I see:

You can only get the Exiled Pirates if your ruler is a Champion of the People.

Taking Stock/Excess Energy (not sure on in-game names) only happens if your scientist is Carefree or Meticulous. Carefree will cause you to lose energy, while Meticulous will gain you energy.

Toxic Construction/Grinding Lattice gives you the option of +9 society research if the scientist has Meticulous. Otherwise you only have the option for +6 minerals.

Echos From the Deep seems to only spawn if your scientist has Meticulous or Spark of Genius, and if your empire doesn't have Passive Interference policy and you're not a Gestalt_Consciousness, and it has to be an Ocean planet. From there, it seems like different things can happen if your scientist is Paranoid, and I see more about gaining Maniacal or Psionic Expertise.

As I mentioned earlier, Toxicity/The Fumes Lie Thick used to do some things but they're commented out now. For the record, that needed Rocketry, Roamer, or Carefree, but not Careful.

The Shifting Sands (not sure on in-game names) gives better results if your scientist has Spark of Genius or New Worlds Expertise. Less blockers spawn, you avoid a negative planetary modifier that takes 1500 days to expire, and it gives a better physics deposit on the planet too.

There's more results for "has_trait" in other files like the crises events, but that seems to be it for the standard anomalies.

 

[Junal]

Hi there,
Thx for this awesome post! it came handy many times!!

Could you update it please?

 

[WealthyAardvark]

Here's my running list of anomalies. Please note that using this will take a lot of the joy and discovery out of your games if you're a new player. Please consider not looking at it if you're reading this and are new to the game.

I mainly use it to make sure that anomalies I find aren't going to get rid of deposits, particularly strategic resources. Losing a Dark Matter deposit to one of the Rainbow in the Dark outcomes, for example, so I'll savescum for the other, or even roll back so I never found the anomaly in the first place.

In no way should this be considered complete, fully accurate, or up to date, but it may be of use to you.

I'm also going to paste it here, but the formatting will be crap; go read the link instead. This will just be so that if people are searching for anomalies by titles they might find this thread.

Spoiler: Terrible Formatting, go read the Pastebin instead

My Stellaris anomaly list. This has last been updated for v2.2.3 (1960) but in no way is it entirely up to date or comprehensive. In particular the Le Guin 2.2 update has made many references to strategic resources obsolete and has changed rewards from previous versions, and there's even still failure rates and results listed in here. Some resource bonuses are listed as maximums or just the amount I got when I wrote that anomaly down, even though the actual rewards are like [12x your monthly, 60-150 floor/ceiling]. In short, don't bet your life on this document.

Throw this into Notepad if you want the formatting to work correctly. I may update this someday!
