this game is probably one of the best i played this decade and im really happy i went for it as soon as it was possible for me, without much knowledge going in. some questions: 1) in the nomai shuttles, does moving the ball to the right side of the fork actually do anything, or have some sort of stated function for nomai pilots, at least? 2) i thought the third statue was activated by solanum, but apparently not? does it exist just compute the trajectories of the probe throughout time, and isnt connected to any person?

Yes. It's the link that sends the probe's results back in time so it can either try another one or report success. haveblue fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Nov 6, 2019 |

That's the landing sequence. I found this out when it tried to land me back on Ember Twin... while I was in the path of Ash. Freaked me right the gently caress out, it did.

This is how she became the 6-to-1 odds Shrodinger space sheep.

I think you have to be within some certain radius of a planet? I know I've landed on Timber Hearth and nearly Hollow's Lantern with them. I thought it just stopped me when I ran into the Ash Twin, too. As for how they managed it, well, they had effectively infinite attempts thanks to the return channel, and they were nothing if not excessively patient.

I thought it just stopped me when I ran into the Ash Twin, too. gave it one more try last night and you were right, my mistake. turns out that brittle hollow is not the best place to test this, as i assumed the shuttle was stopped completely just to get pulled into the planet's gravity and go in the black hole, rather than land anywhere on the surface. least in my couple of attempts.

I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure that's basically what we do in the real world. Just without the railguns or teleportation.

Don't remember if I posted in this thread, but I'll be recommending this game to people forever. Gonna become "that guy". First game in years to give me that childlike wonder at the universe it built.

Got around to starting this tonight. I really like the art and am about to launch and explore the rest of the solar system. Unfortunately I noticed I was getting pretty motion sick. I’ve never had a game do this to me and figure it’s related to the curving view from the small planet. Want to try again tomorrow when I’m not exhausted and half asleep. It’d be a shame if I can’t finish or play for longer periods.

So I've put a good amount of hours into this game so far. I like it, but I'm getting overwhelmed by the fact that I've seen a large amount of random things, but nothing is really "clicking" or coming together yet. I've seen a lot of like, random pieces of machinery that I bet I'll have to remember what they do and how to use them and use them all in a certain order, and it's daunting because I haven't even found the through-line through which these things are supposed to connect. There's only so much "going down to a random planet in hopes I find something new" I can do, even if the ship log points you in certain directions. Here's a question: I found the anglerfish skeleton that supposedly can give you a hint on how to get past them in the dark bramble. The shop log says that only my scout can get into that cave, but I also read a nomai log that said children were found in there. So does that mean there is a secret entrance into there, or does that mean the children were as small as my scout and so there's no larger way in? And ALSO, is the hint that the fish can't see if you if you don't move? Because I've gotten pretty far in there by just drifting down, thought eventually I HAVE to move a little and then I get eaten.

There's a hidden entrance that's large enough for you to enter. Toss your scout in to illuminate the room, and as long as it's there you'll be able to see the lit-up entrance in the tunnels below. The anglerfish hint is not about sight, but sound. You have make absolutely as little noise as possible around them. Use minimal thrust.

Skeleton: The ship log is only based on what you've personally confirmed, and you've only found windows on the cave you can fire the scout through so far. Keep exploring the Ember Twin city, there are clues about how the kids got into the cave there. Fish: This is info you will get if you succeed at the above, but: The fish are blind and track by hearing so they are attacking the sound of your thrusters. Use the minimum level of thrust possible (1 bar on the dashboard thingie) to get yourself on a course to drift past them and don't thrust again until they're well behind you.

If your computer's log says there's more to do at a location there is. If it didn't say that, you don't need to return. The game is about collecting information.

Also your log will tell you everything you need to know, you don't actually have to remember anything. Though obviously it'll help to remember things generally.

Word of warning for anyone interested in playing this on PS4 right now. There is a crash on save bug that corrupts and deletes your save data on the PS4 right now that happens frequently enough that it happened to me twice in one weekend. Once after about an hour of play and another after 4. Very mad about this and figured id warn other people. According to their twitter account its known and they have been trying to fix it since OCtober 31

I think this is due to a patch released recently that was meant to fix that save corruption issue some people had since October, and judging from how often I'm seeing the issue come up now, I think it made it worse. Really sucks.

Really sucks. I am extremely bummed. The first time It happened I had only explored 2 planets and did not feel like I lost much. The second time really crushed me. This is legitimately one of the coolest video games of all time and for something to have a crash bug, let alone one that corrupts and deletes a save like this is 2003 is absolutely unacceptable. I almost feel like I should make a stink and try to get my money back.

I ran into a save-destroying bug when I was like 80% done with the game and it barely affected my progress because everything important that you're picking up is in your head. I had to set aside the OCD of completing the info map in the ship's computer but I was able to move right ahead and finish the game.

Holy poo poo If you end the cycle by jumping into the black hole that’s created at the center of the ash core when the sun explodes Then on the next cycle there’s a second copy of you hanging out in the ash core that you can have a conversation with https://twitter.com/willsmith/status/1205409522602299394?s=21

Apparently it was added in a patch? But drat, that's cool. I wonder how it resolves the paradox. My guess is your other self goes into the black hole to keep the loop closed. I wonder if there is extra dialog if you remove the core then talk to yourself.

I'm not sure if that happens if you leave the warp-core alone though, and I'm curious what happens if you do it a second time..

It opens as the sun goes nova at the end of the loop. Sounds like the black hole was always there, but a recent patch made it possible to enter it. Sounds like any death after doing that will trigger the paradox ending, except for entering it again.
