Feed placed anomalies to level them
Raise an Anomaly anomaly leveling happens through food. Buy what is in stock, return to your plot, and feed the creature you want to grow. Check its level and income after each item before using the rest.
Do not empty your food inventory just to make one creature huge. Feed the anomalies that improve the income paying for speed, plot, and lab upgrades.
A practical leveling loop
Use this repeatable sequence:
- Collect the cash generated by your placed anomalies.
- Check the food shop’s current stock and prices.
- Buy an amount that leaves enough cash for your next important upgrade.
- Select the exact anomaly you want to improve.
- Feed one item and read the resulting level change.
- Compare its updated cash per second with your other creatures.
- Continue only when the improvement justifies more food.
Selection matters. It is easy to feed the wrong creature when several crowd the plot. Face or select your target before using an expensive item.
Foods seen in the shop
| Food | Confirmed Observation | Safe Player Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Burger | Available from the food shop and used on early anomalies | Use it to test early growth |
| Pizza | Purchased in quantity and used for feeding | Check the live cost and result |
| Sandwiches | Fed to a placed anomaly | Compare the resulting level change |
| Eyeball Soup | Expensive item that gave SCP-079 a large jump in one session | Do not assume the same fixed XP result everywhere |
The shop uses a stock system, so the item you want will not always be there. If it is sold out, collect more cash or train speed while you wait.
Level, size, and cash
Feeding can raise an anomaly’s level, make it visibly larger, and improve its income. In one playthrough, SCP-079 grew sharply after Eyeball Soup. Silver Leftovers reached level four and showed roughly $3,000 per second.
Those values are examples, not a permanent XP chart. Lab bonuses, balance changes, starting stats, and food behavior can alter the result. Use the numbers displayed in your current server after each feeding.
Which anomaly should you feed first?
Start with a creature that already earns decent money and still has room to grow. Do not pour the whole food budget into your first hatch when a newer creature earns much more before feeding.
| Situation | Feeding Decision |
|---|---|
| New creature clearly out-earns an old one | Test one food item on the new creature |
| Creature barely improves after several cheap foods | Pause and compare another anomaly |
| Expensive food is in stock | Use it only on a target you intend to keep |
| Plot is full | Resolve the weakest slot before heavy feeding |
| Next treadmill upgrade is close | Preserve enough cash to avoid stalling speed |
Leveling and upgrades compete for the same cash. A balanced account feeds enough to improve passive income, then reinvests part of that income into movement and lab systems.
Leveling mistakes to avoid
- Confirm the selected anomaly before using food.
- Read the shop stock before planning around an expensive item.
- Check the actual level change instead of assuming every food has fixed XP.
- Watch income too. A bigger model does not prove the food paid off.
- Keep some cash for treadmill, plot, or lab progression.
- Do not plan around an unconfirmed maximum level.
When to stop feeding
Stop when additional food prevents a more valuable upgrade, when the creature’s income improvement is too small, or when you expect to replace that plot slot soon. Collect more cash and compare your roster before continuing.
A simple rhythm works well: feed once, read the result, collect income, then decide. This gives you more control than buying a full inventory and consuming it without checking progress.
FAQ
How do I level an anomaly?
Place the hatched anomaly at your plot, buy available food from the food shop, and use that food on the selected creature.
What food gives the most levels?
Eyeball Soup produced a large jump in one recorded session, but there is no verified permanent XP table. Check the live result before buying repeatedly.
Why is the food I want unavailable?
The shop showed a stock system in current gameplay. Use another available item or work on cash and speed while waiting for stock to change.
Does leveling increase cash per second?
Observed creatures improved their income as they were fed and leveled. Read the live cash display after each feeding to judge the return.
What is the maximum anomaly level?
No verified level cap is established. Use the current in-game level display rather than relying on an unconfirmed number.
