Project P.I.T.T. Anomaly Beginner Build
Anomaly Beginner Build: Learn one observable handoff before expanding the machine chain.
Learn one observable handoff before expanding the machine chain. For Anomaly, keep three inputs visible and separate before committing a batch. Count accepted inputs, not objects that touched or bounced off the Cauldron, and do not assume a queue has a verified capacity. This is a planning pattern, not an in-game-tested optimal build.
Startup order
Keep the source accessible, clear a receiving space and move one product through the intended route. Add the first guide or control only after identifying the exact handoff it should improve.
- One source
- Visible handoff
- Recovery area
- Observed destination

| Candidate | How to evaluate |
|---|---|
| cannon | Inspect the first handoff |
| proxy intern | Check containment or direction |
| shift scheduler | Keep control/recovery visible |

SINGLE COMMUNITY REPORT · checked 2026-09-26
Older full-release player evidence places Anomaly production after the Piñata phase.
Build relevance: Older full-release community observation; no independent 1.0.8 replay
Limit: Official 1.0.8 Cauldron recipes: three identical inputs → lesser; three across two types → normal; one of each → enhanced. Phase numbering remains community evidence. Payout, mass, timing and quality percentages remain unfilled.

Update 1.0.8 accepts three matching inputs for lesser quality, three inputs across two types for normal quality, and one of each for enhanced quality.
Build relevance: 1.0.8
Limit: Composition only; no prices, masses, production time or quality percentages.

Failure mode to watch
A complicated loop hides where the product first fails. Return to the last visible handoff rather than adding more interactions around an unexplained miss. The resulting Anomaly quality differs from the intended mix or an incoming product is not accepted.

Validation checklist
Confirm the input identity, observe the same route on repeated attempts and keep a manual recovery path. This validates an observation, not a promised rate.
Reconcile the accepted product types with the official three-input rule before increasing supply. A quality mismatch is not evidence of a Luck modifier, mass change or unsupported percentage formula.

Not claimed by this plan
No measured throughput, income per minute, guaranteed achievement trigger, exact timing circuit or physics coefficient is supplied. Before this layout is treated as verified, evidence must show the current build, the assembled path and repeatable input-to-output behavior.

Evidence and verification limits
DEFERRED — EVIDENCE INSUFFICIENT. This page documents what is known and what remains unresolved; it is not a verified complete solution.
Editorial planning pattern; no current-build replay of the complete layout. Public reference, noindex until the distinct build is demonstrated.
