Anomalies

Anomalies

Sometimes, strange anomalies are spotted on Nanotrasen stations. To remove these anomalies grab an analyzer and a remote signaler, scan the anomaly with the analyzer, and signal the appropriate frequency. If you're successful, you will receive an anomaly core. If you fail to capture it before the anomaly detonates will have consequences.

Item	Description
Hyper-Energetic Flux	An anomaly that shocks things nearby it and is not mitigated by insulated gloves. Upon detonation it creates a light but large explosion.
Bluespace	An anomaly that teleports anything that touches it. Upon detonation everything in a 12 tile square will be translocated to a random area, including space.
Gravitational	An anomaly that hurls objects and personnel around, sometimes causing injuries in the process.
Pyroclastic	An anomaly heats up anything nearby and spews plasma, often causing large fires. Upon detonation a player-controlled pyroclastic slime will be spawned, often with a tendency to cause trouble.
Vortex	An anomaly that pulls objects towards it and rips up floors, similar to a black hole.

Anomaly Cores

Anomaly cores can be stuck into the deconstructive analyzer or more commonly, used to finish a Phazon mech or a suit of reactive armor. The effects of the reactive armor change upon what core is installed in it. Anomaly cores can also gotten from Sol Traders (Occasionally), the Mecha-Fauna boss on lavaland (Guaranteed), or from the ash walker nest tendril (Guaranteed). Using a core in a destructive analyzer with already level 7, will give you level 8 research.

Item	Uses
Flux anomaly core	Provides Power 7, can make reactive tesla armor, can be used to a B.S.G (Bluespace Gun).
Bluespace anomaly core	Provides Bluespace 7, can make reactive teleport armor, can also be used to finalize a Phazon.
Gravitational anomaly core	Provides Magnets 7, can make reactive repulse armor, can be used to power gravitational boots.
Pyroclastic anomaly core	Provides Plasma 7, can make reactive incendiary armor.
Vortex anomaly core	Provides Engineering 7, can make reactive stealth armor.
