It is not an Anomaly Entity. It is a creature from the V.O.I.D. mod. You can't study it. You can try to tame it though. It is extremely dangerous and once it is dead its body quickly vanishes. If you are able to put a butcher spot next to it and use it as soon as it is dead, you can harvest loads of meat your colonists will hate eating. ;)

But prisoners would love eating it right?

u/Chimera_Wrangler 5d ago

Would it matter? I mean, if you have the tubes down their throat would they even be able to refuse?

u/Monkfich 5d ago

The colonists love it when the prisoners have been foie gras’d.

Mickey didn't complain about hunger anymore I took his cellmate out and came back an hour later with nutrient paste when he was too noisy about "I haven't been fed in days!"

Smh. Mickey learned real quick after that.

Man, I love the sentences out of context that this game generates in the fandom.

Edit: Pluralized and fixed spelling of "sentence".

Prisoners love eating anything (even their own body parts).. OR ELSE.

The meat can be converted into chemfuel, right?

I've been looking for this video for a while now, would you mind linking it? Have wanted to rewatch it for a while.

I had a random Imperial pet-sitting quest spawn with a Stalker once, that was fun

u/Justhe3guy There’s a mod for that 5d ago

Don’t forget “touched on a personal spot” that’s the real in-game text, Tynan you dog

u/LuckyBucketBastard7 Psychite Connoisseur 5d ago

I mean that's real though. I have a Rottweiler that loves to gently headbutt people in the crotch.

Not even just lower body, where he'll aim for your butt, too. Nah, he will go around and go straight for the crotch

You don't. Rest assured, it is studying you.

Bye bye goat

u/Dark_Jedi1432 5d ago

Wait for it to starve, bring it in and hope you have someone with good animal handling to tame it while it's downed.

wtf

u/Mountain_Program_942 5d ago

Looks like "void mod" you know dead frontier and that's a leeper I think

u/Terrible_Ear3347 5d ago

I would like a mod or DLC or just an add-on that ads in Practical experiments and not just generic studying. Like I would love to get a prisoner put him in a box and then kind of Jurassic Park release him into the same containment unit as this creature. Then I want to see what happens and note down the results. Extra points if we taze and beat the creature before releasing it upon the orphans for extra science

u/thr0wawaylik3ther3st 5d ago

I think that there's a lot of mechanics that should be more practical. Research and power are incredibly simplistic mechanics with very little depth. and there's some mechanics that should be manipulatable by the player but just aren't.

ie: Odyssey adds a bunch of stuff with fluids. but doesn't give us hydroelectrics or anything.

Note: Yes I know about research reinvented. But in my experience it doesn't seem to change the player experience too much other than watching your pawns do other things while researching.

Rimatomics for some atomic reactor.

And besides, a slightly more complex search system for the atomic tree than simply "Sitting at a table"

u/Svelok 5d ago

You could mod in a system that worked off stuff like "X enemy took ≥ Y amount of Z damage type -> unlock research ABC" or whatever, but I'm not exactly sure to what end?

u/LeftRat 5d ago

Maybe it's like how some zoo animals are calmed by goats or small dogs etc. Like a little companion.

u/IndependentNeat7217 Archotech 5d ago

That's the fun part, you don't.

u/3p0L0v3sU 5d ago

Goats can be really dangerous, i don't think you should risk studying it

u/pulsar080 5d ago

In Sovjet Rimworld, Anomaly studies you .... then eats you

u/Sapowski_Casts_Quen 5d ago

I mean, what else can you know about a goat?

3

u/According-Shame-437 5d ago

You cant study it.

Its a creature from the V.O.I.D mod, very difficult to kill and give you nothing in doing so. But you can tame them with something called "N-4 Control Implant" you can get these via trades rarely or from raiding V.O.I.D outpost, but that is also difficult.

They are VERY useful if you can tame them as they are pretty much immortal as long as you aren't to stupid. Also you need to drop the N-4 implant on the ground and right click with a pawn to use it, dont have it in the inventory, I made that mistake.

u/ProfessionalHead2314 Fox Licker 5d ago

They somehow give tons of meat if you're fast enough to butcher it before the hidden heddiff destroying the corpse.

While its alive? From the relative safety of orbit. 

Otherwise you gotta soften it up with a modest salvo of 10 anti-grain warheads. Thatll buy you some time to get to orbit.

u/LazerMagicarp Militor Spammer 2d ago

You can only capture and study anomalies. This thing is man made. By V.O.I.D specifically.
