There is nothing quite so terrifying in the game as watching the nociosphere teleport closer. And closer. And closer. And closer. To the colonists all huddled together in the deepest part of the thickest walled room of your base.

There is nothing quite so horrifying as the slowly dawning realization that walls aren't going to do you a bit of good.

There is nothing quite so awful as seeing a quarter of your colonists obliterated in the first few seconds while the rest scramble madly for exits from the dining room turned charnal house now lit only by burning bodies and the evil glow of a giant archotech horror readying another plasma blast.

Just sayin', I think the nociosphere is one of the most horrifying things in anomoly

Oh, absolutely!! Even just playing the game and watching it at work keeps me on the edge of my seat.

I'm very grateful that the Jones boys can summon powerful mechanoids as "nociosphere enrichment" so they don't have to worry about being killed by an angry orb. It's gotten me thinking about what my other colonies might have done if faced with such a foe.

I think that the guys in The Animist Alliance would probably have just... scattered. Maybe I would have used Albina's animal warcall ability, but I don't know how much good it'd do. The RimWorld wiki says that zeushammers might be useful against the nociosphere, so maybe Irwin and Xanxalbur could keep it distracted momentarily? Still... I don't think everyone would survive a fight like that.

The Children of Ecthuctu would just nope out lmao. Abandon the colony and find someplace else to settle. They might worship eldritch horrors beyond mortal comprehension, but not this mortal horror beyond mortal comprehension. Ecthuctu is not sphere-shaped.
