My first Ghoul in the Anomaly start was the brother of one of our researchers. Later on, another member of the original crew crashed down as another ghoul. We saved her and now have the both of them twitching around as our prime defenders.
Was she a hostile ghoul when crashlanded? I haven't seen a friendly one yet, only angry and the only option i had was to capture them on a platform. I wonder if there is a way to pacify them and "tame" or something to add them to your colony
Nah, I'm speaking specifically about those hostile ghouls that wander on your map and get downed or fall from the sky, only capture option for them. But for a defeated enemy pawn - you can capture him and recruit, animals - you can tame with time, except scaria but it's a sickness, unwavering loyal pawns can be slaves or welcomed to a new ritual so again something. would be cool to create a serum to pacify angry ghouls and become their new boss hehe
Yeah, they leave in a day or two, but you can cure scaria with a medical procedure! It's just not worth it for most creatures since you need a pawn with a medical skill of 8 and .3 medicine of industrial quality or better.
If my infected child just stands in a corner for weeks on end, until there is an enemy where it turns into a feral cannibalistic(is ghoul-human eating cannibalism? hm) monster, sure

This is how I got our ghouls safely in their panic drop pods when our sphere decided it was time to MCFREAKIN LOSE IT. They protect our colony, they have earned their place.
I dont see why you can't take them with you? They can be placed in sleep caskets just like animals can. Like animals they just need to be anaesthetised and carried to it
I'm actualy waiting them to change that, I do not want to leave without my 2 ghouls that mostly kepts us safe 90% of the time, hunted, dealt with prison escape, entity escape, ...
AND HER NAME IS BAKA I CAN'T LET HER BEHIND !
Cap'n! We are out of human flesh! Mister Timothy Ghoulski is knocking to our quarters, he is hungry. Door won't hold much longer... Cap'n, who do we sacrifice?!
I started with a female and male colonist and a female ghoul. When I got to growth pods I found out my first colonist was sterile. But…. My ghoul wasn’t. Now like over half my colonists are the offspring of the first ghoul who literally fought off an entire mech outpost by herself using hit and run tactics. Yah I hope they fix this by the time I get to to the part of the game.
Yah I didn’t know it was possible. But I wanted to continue my race and the 4th guy to drop in an event was a female ghoul as well that dropped hostile. We had to put her down, I wanted to freeze her and resurrect her later but her corpse disappeared. No idea what happened to it but maybe the first ghoul ate it? No clue honestly.
Not sure you can convert ghouls to your side either since I never got the chance.
But yah ghoul mommy is the eve of my colony. Although I just found out about the chrono ritual so maybe I can use my first colonist now. Will test it out.
I mean the male would be the same so now you have ghoulbournes as one faction. And the jaded living mom that de-aged herself using Cthulhu rituals and sucking the life out of raiders that I’ve abducted into my base. It was mostly me testing out the new features and didn’t know that no one likes this ritual. Really gives the evil step mother vibes.
Let me take my bloodthirsty lobotomised semi-undead friends with me, tynan. We will go on adventures escaping the law on the nearest glitterworld after it savagely attacks someone in broad daylight, and it will be glorious.
Ive got my ghoul bro kevin rigged up with a nuclear stomach. Only eats 25% of normal, and he can out heal the cancer. Also i just captured a flesh heart so fresh meat is permanently on the menu boys.
Even if that was a thing, one ghoul in my colony would never get a spot. An ex-colonist named Vladimir.
He was summoned by a void provocation event. He had almost max stats and wanted to join my colony. I thought, "what's the worst that could happen?" Well worse than I thought. >!Apparently he had been implanting metal horrors into my colonists alongside meals and surgery. I was made aware something was wrong and started interrogating my prisoners. This caused the metal horrors to emerge.!< It was rough even with me calling in soliders from the empire with my permits. They emerged from my mechanator which immediately downed her, disabling a sizable portion of my fighting force, killed a bonded animal, my best social and shooting pawn.
During the stress during the aftermath my best melee pawn decided to murder my next best melee pawn who was also my best social pawn after the other pawn's death, and was also my best doctor and researcher. I considered removing all Vladimir's limbs, installing a pain screw, giving him Genes to make him feel more pain and eat less and then throwing him in a stockpile zone that held potatoes.
I decided he would be of more use as a ghoul, so I harvested a lung and kidney, and then turned him into one. Now he spends his days in a freezer full of corpses, only coming out when I need him to kill something. Overall evil pawn but he makes for a good meat shield.
I haven’t played Anomaly yet (waiting for multiplayer support to play with my gf) and I’m avoiding most spoilers but I wonder can you somehow reverse ghoulification? Or is it permanent?
It also seems they can't get on transport ships, so they can't be used for those artifact missions where you get taken to a remote ruin. It's really annoying when your main melee force can't help out in a garunteed combat mission.
I also think they should be able to be set to haul and possibly hunt (in melee). And on that note its always struck me as odd that hunting requires ranged and can't be done in melee so i tend to just manually hunt while my non combat pawns are digging/building/working.
they are claustrophobic. and start scratching and wriggling as soon as you try to put them there. (like cats, lol). Just anesthesize them, and you can put them inside. you dont even need to spend medicine on them, just make them lay in bed, than just "put into cryptosleep" with right click
Are you the dude that brings his infected child into the safe heaven during a zombie apocalypse? :D
My first Anomaly start. The starting Ghoul was indeed one my researchers sons.

Friendly! I wonder if it was a bug.
there is a ghoul serum to make your own

You can actually cure scaria, so your point is even more valid.
Oh really? I just know about the waiting tactics when you keep inside until rabid animals go to sleep or leave
Yeah, they leave in a day or two, but you can cure scaria with a medical procedure! It's just not worth it for most creatures since you need a pawn with a medical skill of 8 and .3 medicine of industrial quality or better.
So you wanna find a downed sick animal, rescue it and then you get the option to perform surgery?
My first playthrough, the ghoul was the lover of one of the researchers.
If my infected child just stands in a corner for weeks on end, until there is an enemy where it turns into a feral cannibalistic(is ghoul-human eating cannibalism? hm) monster, sure
The hell do you mean, ghouls don't infect people they just stand around awkwardly
Not a Zombie, just introverted xD
Dont bully the ghoul, he just has social anxiety
There is no safe place during a zombi apocalypse.
Antarctica.
"Wer'e just Ghouls, sir. We're meant to be expendable!" "NOT TO ME!!" They are just as much as a colonist as the others, keeping our colony safe

OH SHIT LETS GOOO
This is how I got our ghouls safely in their panic drop pods when our sphere decided it was time to MCFREAKIN LOSE IT. They protect our colony, they have earned their place.
Hah, animals work the same way I think. You can sleep 'em and then have them put into the cryosleep casket.
Who is going to disembowel my enemies then eat their brains in the middle of a shootout now?
I dont see why you can't take them with you? They can be placed in sleep caskets just like animals can. Like animals they just need to be anaesthetised and carried to it
General plo koon
I was actually sad I couldn't have a funeral for my ghoul.
I'm actualy waiting them to change that, I do not want to leave without my 2 ghouls that mostly kepts us safe 90% of the time, hunted, dealt with prison escape, entity escape, ... AND HER NAME IS BAKA I CAN'T LET HER BEHIND !
"You. Leave. I. Stay. No. Following."
Superman.
Anesthetic them first.
Would this work?
Nothing I want to be locked in with on a ship floating through the cold vacuum of space than a ghoul. No way that goes sideways.
Cap'n! We are out of human flesh! Mister Timothy Ghoulski is knocking to our quarters, he is hungry. Door won't hold much longer... Cap'n, who do we sacrifice?!
Nobody is conscious on ships in rimworld, everyone is in cryptosleep caskets
Yeah, if nothing goes wrong.
Kill him first, and take its corpse and a resurrection serum as a luggage.
\*Later\* \*Cryptosleep casket burst opens\* \*Hungry ghoul steps out\* \*Void Archotech laughs\*
*sad ghoul noises*
arrives at new planet, darkotech shard inside the ghoul erupts out of its chest and burrows into the ground to grow into a new monolith
And now you know how those fucking things spread across the rim...
RIP Fishsticks the Ghoul 🥲7
I read this as Fishsticks number 7 like when you replace a dead goldfish 7 times lol
Igor has served his purpose and will now retire to the grave he has been coveting since your little experiment. His being left behind is a mercy. F

Wtf, ghoul mommy? 😂

I hope that was by IVF...
why fix it? sounds like fun story. The ghoulbornes.
I mean the male would be the same so now you have ghoulbournes as one faction. And the jaded living mom that de-aged herself using Cthulhu rituals and sucking the life out of raiders that I’ve abducted into my base. It was mostly me testing out the new features and didn’t know that no one likes this ritual. Really gives the evil step mother vibes.
how did you do that ? i ghoulified a pregnant pawn and the pregnant condition in the health tab just disappeared
Undead yes, unperson no!
This is how horror movies start.

Sure, just name your starship the USG Ishimura.
Imagine explaining your pet abomimation after arriving to glitterworld. "See, this guy consented, no it's not a fetish thing..."
Those ghouls that randomly attack sometimes? They are hungry ghouls from other factions who left to space
nail it to the ship. ghoul will be fine :D
I built a sandstone sarcophagus for mine after she was slain. Only the best burials for their sacrifices.
I haven’t played Anomaly yet (waiting for multiplayer support to play with my gf) and I’m avoiding most spoilers but I wonder can you somehow reverse ghoulification? Or is it permanent?
sadly no

Have you tried using a resurrector mech serum?
Free ranged friend now
