[Guide] Useful Anomalies for All You Savescumming Scallywags! (2024)

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!
