Supply Ship Wreckage

Supply Ship Wreckage is about as low-friction as anomalies get — no risky follow-up choices, no multi-stage event chain, just a direct resource payout from investigating a drifting wreck.

What you get

A straightforward choice between 300 minerals or 100 influence. Neither option requires further decisions or carries any risk to your science ship or scientist.

Why it’s a good early pick

Because it’s simple and reliable, this is a good anomaly to prioritize early on when you’re still building up your science ship’s tech level and don’t want to risk a scientist on something with a failure chance. Take minerals if you’re mid-construction and need the material; take influence if you’re planning to colonize soon and want the budget for it.

(Editorial note: an earlier version of this site had a wiki entry for a fabricated anomaly called “Derelict Fleet.” This entry replaces it with a real, verified anomaly with a similar “wreckage” theme — see this project’s fact-check log for details.)
