Man, great luck on my behalf, I felt so clever when I was playing around with symbol combinations by a house and caused the dam to shatter and change the water level in The Stranger. My mind really started racing about the ways I'd be able to use this at will to get around to different places like the cabin covered in ghost matter, but really what great luck to stumble upon that combination on my first time! It turns out it's a timed thing that always happens at exactly the same point in the loop  Edit: Also I found the room full of corpses through the painting that is set back just enough to access a stairway. That was... unsettling.

cuntman.net posted:just had my funniest death yet while exploring the twins. decided it was a good idea to land my ship in the gravity cannon despite knowing its called that. then i summoned the nomai shuttle which exploded my ship. then i got in the nomai shuttle, tried to fly it, crashed, and died Had a similar experience on the Ember Twins, except somehow MORE stupid Explored the gravity cannon on foot, turned it on, looked onto the humming platform, and thought to myself: I wonder what this thing, explicitly called a gravity cannon, does Stepped on the platform Was instantly flung vertically upwards, away from Ember Twins and, as it happened at that moment in time, straight into the sun I don't know what I was expecting, there was honestly not much happening thought-wise at all I love reading about dumb deaths in Outer Wilds

I've been watching two blind LPs on YouTube lately: Noah Best Drummer and BeccaBytes. Both of them managed to get to the black hole forge in unconventional ways. Becca rode it up and platformed there, something I tried so hard to do and failed every time. And Noah somehow managed to land his ship upside down on the ceiling/floor.

By the time I was done I was pretty good at flying around inside Brittle Hollow in general, I did most of it the proper way once but then when going back to places I was lazy and just used my ship as a shortcut and forcibly jammed it in somewhere.

I brute force platformed my way up the broken elevator purely on foot because I'm stubborn and kind of an idiot

It's "any landing you can walk away from", not "any landing the ship can fly away from"

Feeling a bit stuck on the base game, looking for a vague hint about where to go next! About ~13 hours in and: -I've recently been exploring the Ash Twin portals and gotten into the Ash Twin Project, removed the big warp core thing, had no idea what to do with it, and triggered a "You died for real" ending. Then I re-loaded the save, explored the Sun Station and Black Hole Forge which I thought would give me my next lead but nothing there really helped me. -I have a few leads pointing me towards going into the electric orb within Giant's Deep, but I don't know how to get past the electricity after going through the special tornado. -Most of the remaining Question Marks on my computer are related to the Quantum Moon and the Dark Bramble, and I don't really know what to do about either of those yet. For the Quantum Moon I think I need to get into the Quantum Tower on Brittle Rock but I can't figure out how to get past the exit. For the Dark Bramble (and the seed) I keep throwing scouts into the holes and don't really understand what I'm seeing. The other Question Mark I haven't addressed is the supposed fissure on the sunside of the Interloper which I can't find (I assume it's not there anymore??).

Well there's a lot of directions you could go, but here's a very vague hint: The Interloper is covered in ice.

On navigating Dark Bramble: it's easier if you use the signalscope. One of the few mechanical things that carries over between runs is identified signals - are there any unidentified signals left in the system?

Those are big beats that are at the “end” of their paths. You’ll know when to use the information you got. mancalamania posted:
You’ll find out more about this elsewhere. Keep an eye out for things that look Giant’s Deep-ish elsewhere, like how you found out about the tornado. mancalamania posted:
Quantum Moon: You’re right about getting into the Quantum Tower. It’s tricky to get into it, but do remember that it’s on Brittle Hollow. Relatedly, but a little more of a spoiler: There are other places to learn more about quantum things, too. Dark Bramble: Just fly in. It’ll be fun  Interloper: Remember that it’s on an elliptical orbit.

For Dark Bramble, you can just go in directly, and have to to get all the information you need. It's not free of hazards or anything, but being there won't kill you unless you're outside your ship without your spacesuit. Also, have you been using the Signalscope to follow signals to their sources? It's very helpful for finding points of interest.

I just recently learned that the ship computer is made with a part of a Nomai statue at its core and that's why it remembers things through loops

ok i explored that, which was amazing taking a picture of something quantum locking it in place is cool as hell, also riding a jellyfish into the planet core and findin the probe module and getting the eye coordinates was amazing i explored the orbital cannon too and i think i did everything but its telling me there's more to explore there but i explored the control room and the launch room by going outside and around in the broken glass, maybe i missed a translation or something in there the music is so good

Kazzah posted:The "You missed something" prompt doesn't distinguish between plot-relevant info and a sign saying Gents It actually does, that only comes up for items the game considers of core importance. What it doesnt consider is whether you've already learned the same information elsewhere. But there's plenty of stuff you can completely miss, some of it quite cool, and your computer will say nothing because its not relevant to any of the core mysteries.

I think it's just a simple matter of "is there anything still in the area that will add a line to the ship log".

God Ive been to so many places. Explored ember twin and did the sunless city, landed on the quantum moon but don't know what to do with the tower I found, explored ash twin and played with the teleporters there but I'm not sure what to do, did dark Bramble but that just told me how to get to the core of giants deep which I did already. I feel like I'm circling around the next step which has to be something with the ash twin project

There's definitely a lot more in Dark Bramble than just the clue for how to get to the center of Giant's Deep. When in doubt, you can always look at your ship log to see if a certain point of interest has more to explore.
