The lakebed was the last thing I did because it kept confusing me and the timing there is even more hectic. Also, what platform are you playing on? Maybe you need to reinstall the game or you're having other issues.

PC, but it didn't trash when I tried again  The lakebed honestly made me more anxious than anything else so far in the game. I don't like dark places! Especially with the threat of being buried in the rising sand. So regarding the place I was in for the aforementioned crash: So I have to take this core, which will disable the time/memory loop shenanigans, and take it to the vessel I guess? I went and found escape pod 3, and got to the vessel right as everything blew up  Take two!

At least now you don't have to go to Pod 3 to get to the Vessel, since it should be markable in the computer!

I feel like I would have a way easier time with this if I didn't have to spend most of my time slowly drifting by anglerfish. By the time I get to the vessel and am trying to input the symbols, time's up.

If I try that I end up going BACKWARDS eventually, and I wind up so close to an anglerfish that I can't correct myself. I can't imagine how much more painful this was for people before the update that let's you skip time so you had to sit on the Ash Twin for five minutes as the tower slowly surfaces.

Do you have a gamepad? You should be able to use minimal thrust, one bar on the HUD thingie, without the fish noticing you unless you're right on top of one. Do it for a few seconds at the start to build up speed and you can quickly float past them to the point where it's safe to make minor course corrections or kick in a little more speed (again, with 1 bar of thrust). I don't know how to do this with KB/M but an analog stick makes it easy. Or, as a different last resort, get out of the ship and fly over with your suit's jetpack, it's quieter.

I also just beat the game. Definitely really good. To be honest, the final run was super frustrating for me, and it did ruin things a bit. It's the worst part of the game, but not only is it a part you have to do but also the LAST thing you do so it's one of the sequences most vivid in your mind.

Is it possible to die after you put the Macguffin in the Plot Device? When the game goes all trippy like 2001?

I played this game over the course of about 3-4 months, forcing myself to only play once or twice every week and really try to untangle the mystery organically. It was difficult at times, but once I finally remembered to use my signalscope for exploration it led me to several big bombshell discoveries, and from that point on I couldn't put the game down until I had beat it. Also quite proud to say I never had to look up a solution, but I will definitely admit to lucking into several solutions without really realizing how difficult they could have been at first, like entering the Ash Twin Project, and learning about quantum travel on Ember Twin. Figured both of those out purely by accident but hey, I'll take it! And like many others in this thread, I adored both the game and the ending. Definitely my GOTY 2019. I wanted to share a particularly funny death I got. On my way to place #1, I collided with a moon or something and damaged most of my ship's systems. Upon landing and waiting a bit, I attempted to fix them all but a few still alluded me because I couldn't figure out where to stand to repair them. No worries, I figured, as long as I can still fly it okay we should be good! So I do Thing #1 and head to Place #2 ASAP. Once I clear the current planet's gravity, I set an autopilot course for my destination. As I had done several times before, I planned to leave my seat after setting autopilot, go to my computer to set a waypoint, and sit back down. Usually I can time it out perfectly so that I've arrived at my destination right when I get back into the cockpit seat. Well, unfortunately for me, one of the systems that had broken was my artificial gravity. As soon as I unbuckled from my seat, I immediately flew into the back wall of the ship, taking massive damage. I was pinned by G's against the back wall, and moving my joystick and thrusters just allowed me to look around and flail helplessly. Well, you can probably guess what happened next. About halfway to my destination, the reverse thrusters kick in, I'm slammed into the cockpit glass, and I'm dead. Even better than that, since I was on my way to Dark Bramble with the warp core, I got the Dark Souls "YOU ARE DEAD" ending. I couldn't stop laughing until well into my next attempt after that.

welp i'm at the home stretch but keep crashing all of a sudden so guess this ain't getting finished  tbf the final idiotic obstacle course already soured me on it big timedecent game but one that seems dedicated to doubling-down on the worst parts of it(namely the locations that are like "hope you were here at this exact time or get hosed" and of course the two planets that do that are the most important ones)

Waiting at campfires makes it a bit easier, but frankly I think that despite the game being real good as is, it could only have been improved with the addition of 1) a timer in your spaceship so you can know the precise time when certain things happen, 2) meditation being easier to unlock (I went all game without it), and 3) being able to meditate until a specific point in time. It would take a lot of the pointless waiting out of the equation.

Once you find out in-game how long the loop lasts, it should show the current time when resting instead of the number of minutes you're resting.

I wonder if it’d be possible to, like, use your ship to collide with a meteor and stop it from hitting the planet? Doc’s great btw, everyone should watch!

Just finished the game, loved it. Is there a reason the things that were happening at the end of the Nomai civilization seemed to be repeating for the Hearthians? Specifically the return of the Interloper, I felt a little lost as to how that tied in.

Instead you have to use events in the world as a gauge (or look at the Hourglass Twins :P)

There's no connection, really. It first showed up during the Nomai's time, the core burst and killed them all, and now it's just been orbiting around harmlessly ever since. It crashes into the sun because the sun is expanding because it was already dying.

In the old alpha, the Interloper would crash into Dark Bramble in its last orbit just before the sun went. It was a lot easier to get inside of the comet as well, so you could ride it straight into oblivion and die to a giant thorn crushing you against the inner surface of the comet at 800kph. Dark Bramble supposedly being the remains of a planet that exploded with the bramble seeds spreading around the solar system, as well as the bits of bramble and ice found on some planets, is a little more interesting when you consider that former relationship between the two planetoids.
