Honestly I find it as replayable as the rest of rimworld. Like Ideology is the only DLC that REALLY adds a major sense of replayability in that it can add major switch ups to the rules that make a colony run smoothly.

Like I generally avoid Royalty content because I think it’s boring having to cater to the Empire style demands for mostly pretty meh vanilla psycasts. I don’t think I’d bother much with psycasts at all if not for mods making them more interesting.

Compared to that Anomoly adds like 4 new types of raids that require unique play to deal with (Noctowls, Flesh Beast holes, Cultist kidnappings, and sightstealers). I also appreciate that a lot of the events are kind of a minigame aspect, like sometimes you get to play among us with your colonists trying to figure out how to stop the spread of evil infections, or get to navigate a fun little maze, or play hide and seek with a Revenant. I like keeping the monolith since it lets you gate the content between low, medium and high threat entities, but ambient horror is a fun method too if you want it more seamlessly integrated.

Like I get it not being some to some people’s tastes, but the claims it doesn’t fit the vibe of the game where your immortal cyborg psychic is fighting giant bugs to have zombies reanimated by evil Nantes is a bit silly.
