Project P.I.T.T. Phase 4 — Overview
Phase 4 — Overview: The Phase 4 label is older community progression evidence associated with Anomaly.
The Phase 4 label is older community progression evidence associated with Anomaly. The current official recipe rule distinguishes input composition from unknown economic output. Exact quotas, timing and a guaranteed unlock sequence remain unverified.
Recognize the progression state
The current official recipe rule distinguishes input composition from unknown economic output.
The phase numbering comes from a first-hand older guide, not a published current unlock table. Use the product and current visible objective to identify your situation.
Evidence for this section (1)
SINGLE COMMUNITY REPORT · checked 2026-09-26
An older first-hand guide describes the sequence Duck, Cash Register, Piñata, Anomaly and illustrates their production lines.
Build relevance: Older full-release community observation; no independent 1.0.8 replay
Limit: No universal unlock quantities, optimal layouts or throughput are adopted.

Stabilize the product handoff
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.

Current Cauldron quality recipes
Update 1.0.8 makes input composition the documented quality decision: isolate the three accepted inputs before joining automatic supplies. Quality does not establish a payout multiplier, mass or processing time.
| Anomaly quality | Input composition | Symbolic example |
|---|---|---|
| Lesser | 3 identical products | A + A + A |
| Normal | 3 products total, covering 2 different types | A + A + B |
| Enhanced | One of each of the 3 product types | A + B + C |
Evidence for this section (1)
OFFICIAL CURRENT · checked 2026-09-26
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.
Keep progression and transport problems separate
The resulting Anomaly quality differs from the intended mix or an incoming product is not accepted.
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.

Before leaving this stage
The older guide connects Anomaly progression with the main ending. Stop automatic supply and preserve a backup if you want to investigate other goals first; the September reload-loop report is not a universal trigger specification.
Evidence for this section (2)
SINGLE COMMUNITY REPORT · checked 2026-09-26
A September 22 player reported an ending reload loop, then said stopping machines after continuing let them resume other goals.
Build relevance: September 22 report; build not explicitly shown
Limit: One player's workaround, not an official fix or guaranteed ending trigger.

Evidence and verification limits
Source retrieval confirms what a source says, not a new in-game replay. Patch notes retain their version; community observations retain their limitations.

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.
