Anomalies are items collected from the gateway and are used for research, money-generation, and individual powers.

Affinities

Affinities are individual traits assigned to players at the start of a round. On-spawn every single affinity rolls a dice, and if it rolls a high enough number then you get the affinity. This process repeats for every affinity, and having 1 affinity doesn't affect your ability to get another (they are independant probabilities). Some job roles affect your probability of getting certain affinities.

By default players have a 25% chance to spawn with each affinity. Your chances of spawning with any affinities are as follows:

6	0.0002%

Force

• Effects relating to motion and the application of force on an object.

Radiance

• Effects relation to light, radiation and other forms of emissions.
• Players in the science department have a 40% chance to have this affinity rather than a 25% chance.

Anima

• Effects relating to life-force and the soul.
• Players in the medical department have a 40% chance to have this affinity rather than a 25% chance.

Psionic

• Effects relating to powers of the mind.
• Players in the science department have a 40% chance to have this affinity rather than a 25% chance.

Entropy

• Effects relating to randomness and decay.
• The clown has a 75% chance to have this affinity and a 15% chance to roll other affinities.

Space

• Effects relating to spatial positioning and concepts of the void.

Anomaly Researching

To utilise an anomaly, you first need to identify its affinities. If you have the affinity of the anomaly, interacting it will trigger the anomalies effects (however you might not know what affinities you have yourself). If you do not have the affinities, the science department is capable of triggering specific affinities via a machine in research.
