Does the Raise an Anomaly planner use exact in-game formulas?
No. Luck, food XP, and Merge odds are unpublished. The planner uses conservative priorities so the advice stays safe across updates.
Raise an Anomaly Planner: Speed, Cash & Food
The Raise an Anomaly planner does not invent hidden formulas. It asks what is blocking your steal, hatch, or feed cycle, then points at the system that unlocks it. The sliders are comfort ratings from 1 to 10, not measurements, and the advice stays conservative because hatch odds, food XP, and Merge recipes are unpublished. Treat the result as an order of operations. Codes live on the codes page, named systems on the wiki, and upgrade order on the tier list.

Next step
Ignore Merge and gamepasses. Steal one egg, hatch it, park it in the lab, and feed it. Redeem FAIRY only after that loop works once. If you cannot finish a steal, read the steal-eggs guide before spending.
FAQ
Calculator FAQ
Should I buy a gamepass before using the planner?
The live API snapshot on 2026-10-11 shows every pass as not for sale. Play the free loop first; the gamepasses page tracks sale status separately.
Is Speed or food the bottleneck in Raise an Anomaly?
Speed, if the steal loop already works. Community reports on the steal and zones pages say the treadmill gates higher zones, and no official Speed curve is published. Food raises the body you own; it does not move you into a zone your Speed cannot exit. Feed first, then train Speed.
How should I split food between anomalies?
Feed the bodies you are actually raising. Official artwork shows a steak offered to a baby, but it prints no XP value per food, so this planner cannot rank Fairy Cake against Cursed Cake. Cakes from FAIRY, jellyfish and UPDATE1 are code rewards, not a food plan. Keep one earner fed and leave spare bodies alone until you know whether Merge consumes them.
Which upgrade comes first: Speed, income, or plot space?
Fix the lower slider. If income feels worse, feed your anomalies and raise lab cash per second; if Speed feels worse, train the treadmill before the next steal. Plot space comes after both, because a bigger plot only pays when you can fill and feed it. Gamepasses come later: all four were not for sale in the 2026-10-11 API snapshot.
