Getting Started with Anomalies

Finding and Scanning Anomalies

Strange Matter Mod introduces six types of anomalies scattered throughout your world: Gravity fields, Temporal zones, Spatial rifts, Energy spots, Shadow patches, and Cognitive zones. Each behaves differently—some affect physics, others spawn mobs or alter time.

Use the Anomaly Resonator to locate nearby phenomena. Once found, scan anomalies to earn research points on your tablet. Feed these points into the research machine to unlock minigames and learn new recipes.

As you progress, extract anomalies using the Echo Vacuum and store them in Containment Capsules. This unlocks access to the Reality Forge, a special crafting station for late-game items. Eventually you'll craft advanced gadgets like hoverboards, levitation pads, and teleportation guns powered by anomaly shards.
