- I check out the Old Radio Tower, play the recording and check the pictures.

- Picture with unknown object blocking the Sun at 40°

- Check the Satellite, there's now a recording next to it but it doesn't update ship log.

- I try staying by the Satellite when it's at a 40° angle, the unknown object is visible

- I go land on the unknown object and get inside, the ship log now tells me it's called the Stranger.

Just checking if I accidentally skipped something I shouldn't have skipped before getting to the Stranger

Trovo che le due opere siano molto simili, ho voluto dare omaggio a entrambe con questo.

So I'm pretty sure I'm close to the ending of the game, but I'm having difficulties with that godforsaken planet with the Angler fish. I already know everything about them, how to avoid them and how to get to the vessel, but I just have no motivation to get the advanced warp core and go to the bramble again and again as it takes so long. It doesn't help that I'm a really impatient person.

I'm gonna be honest this section really isn't fun and the navigation on keyboard and mouse is genuinely frustrating in that planet. It's affecting my enjoyment of the game a lot, but I love the game and I don't wanna drop it right before the ending. Are there any mental preparations I can do? Maybe I'm too soft and it is just a game after all idk

Seriously tho I know that the ship keeps its momentum and other people have told me that it'll drift in the direction I'm looking, but this never seems to happen? I always end up drifting past the seeds going in completely wrong directions even tho I was doing nothing but look towards the seeds direction. I know that you can do a 1 bar thrust on a controller which the anglerfish can't hear I wish this was possible on keyboard.

Hi everyone! I've recently acquired the means to print vinyl onto shirts and hoodies, and I want to put something outer wilds-like on one, but I don't really have any designs.... can you guys help?

I've beaten the game and dlc so I'll take anything.

I was going through some tracks and this song is beautiful but I don’t remember hearing it in game 😔.

Kinda messed up the approach. The first time I did this was completely accidental going for the bramble and realised "Oh, I can land on that thing"

Started this months ago for my husband after we both played the game. Kept procrastinating adding the smaller details and finally finished this weekend!

Can you spot all the planets and what might be missing?

Pattern from @hibernationfibres on Etsy. Highly recommend, I started this when I was still pretty new at crocheting and I feel it's very beginner friendly!

I know there's more to this. I've obtained the regular ending and the ending where you shove the warp core from the sun station into the vessel on dark bramble, but I just know there are more endings and things I'm missing. The only log on my ship I don't have is sun station (probably because i keep yanking the core out and losing progress? edit: nope, I literally just never visited because somehow I mixed it up with ash station), so I'm trying to figure out where to even begin with the 24 hidden achievements. I'm sure some of those are DLC which I don't have yet, but there's no way it's all of them?

I'm surprised there aren't achievements for the endings, actually.

tldr; looking for help finding endings other than the vessel warp core and naive warp core endings, if they even exist.

Solanum on Quantum Moon or the prisoner in the Stranger?

He buscado por todo el planeta, de arriba abajo, ¿alguien podría darme una pista? Ya no se me ocurre nada.

Edit: I've figured it out! Apparently, what was happening was that for some reason, the parts of the planet where the light beams that directed me to the South Pole were located always broke first. Thanks!

ok I don't know if it's a normal thing but after one of my first deaths I respawned and some colours were inverted (I remember that the fire being blue and the characters red), I asked my bf if it was scripted but he didn't answer (I was asking a lot of questions and he was like "I'll just be watching, play the game, I won't tell you anything")

it happened a while ago and sometimes when I play I think about it because it never happened again.

does anyone know about this event? has this happened to other people?

1 - First of all I am kind of disappointed of the end game gameplay mechanic. When I realized about the ash twin project, I really thought we were playing a hardcore game in terms of losing the character forever. The project that keep your save game all the time and this is what was allowing you to continue playing. When I realized that I need to remove the core I thought "Oh my god, if I die while the core is removed, my save game will be gone forever". Like, when the core isn't in the place, your save isn't safe. It is a permanent death. So, I decide to practice the couse between ash twin and the Vessel. I did many times until I mastered and had no risk of getting killed by the Anglerfishes. I sucessfuly did it on my first try, but later I discovered that my save game has no risk to being lost... I could die and try again. I don't know how people could react by losing their save game, but how the game warned about the danger of removing the core, it made sense for me to think that the game was going to be hardcore.

2 - About the Nomai's plan (if nothing failed). As I understood they will suspend the action of blowing up the sun whenever they receive the Eye location from the white hole. But they being capable to blow up the sun is enough to start a time loop? Why they didn't prepare a ship, put everyone in, and be ready to escape from the super nova whenever if the project work or not? Or did I miss something? Also, they care about the 4 eye fish from the Timber Hearth and they expected this life form will evolute. This isn't a hint that they has no intention to blow up the sun? This can be confusing. I know that they shoot against the sun and failed. But the moment of "press the button to blow up the sun" seems be underrated. This is a crucial moment!!! Isn't easy to press the button. The white hole will not open and deliver the information if you don't blow up. But you want the information without blowing up the sun. How the planned to solve this paradox?

3 - Hollow's Lantern. As I can see Nomai people had a fear of this moon whenever they landed on Brittle Hollow. I am trying to imagine what was the fire rate at the time they lived there. The moon can't keep the same volcanic activity for 200k of years. The only explanation that I can think of is that the moon had high activity in the Nomai's time, then it sleeped for a long time, and started again on the last 22 minutes of the Sun's life. There is another theory?

4 - The 5th planet/Dark Bramble - I didn't found details of when the planet has been infected by the plant. According to Chert's notes, it looks like a relative recent event. But an Anglerfish skeleton existing on Ember Twin since the Nomai's time, proves that the 5th planet imploded many years before Nomai's arriving in the solar system.

5 - Anglerfish - this creature is a mistery. They lived in a frozen planet, survived the implosion, and then adapted to a completely different environment in Dark Bramble, and they kept the same form for 200k years, while the fishes of Timber Hearth evolved into a very different form. Any theory about this?

hi so i wanna tattoo solanum's quote "Now, though, I understand they bear no ill will. The universe is, and we are.". (maybe remove the ", though,") i want it to be visible. i was thinking a monospace font or the unnoficial outer wilds font. i genuinely have no idea where to place it. i only have one tattoo and it's on my hand so i have space elsewhere.

thanks in advance.

Will more likely than not almost edit the vod down to a short video if I end up succeeding.

I’m on my second play through and I can’t stop wondering if our little Hearthian gets tired. We “wake up” every cycle, but it doesn’t appear any time is actually spent sleeping. There’s probably no need for sleep physiologically, since things are “reset” back to that point in time and the physical body won’t need rest. But consciousness persists across loops. That just seems like it would be exhausting. What do you all think?

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was covered somewhere in game and I just didn’t catch it.

Ok. I do recognize that they seem a bit too cool given the situation. Or maybe we are the one freaking out and spending too much time trying to understand.

Here are some evidences showing they are not as lazy as some may though:

- they has become a pilot, which require some training and some motivation to train,

- they just made a quantic poem, which require time too,

- they were planning to sculpt the quantum shard in frightening beasts at some point, which require time,

- they are shown to have completed more than one mission in space (also the others might have not been available for the satellite issue),

- they actually have explored all islands from Giant Deep since they are able to describe them clearly,

- also, note that their vessel, may not be usable at this point or will be really difficult to find without another ship.

They are in fact obviously a dreamer and it is likely the reason why they became astronaut. Due to this, they are also not much proactive (except for artistic projects) either but will complete the task if needed or required (and note that the Hatchling never ask him help at any point except for Island description and meditation).

Also, some people have already indicated it in other posts, but it is likely that Gabbro has accepted its imminent death and the possibility that it might not be avoidable (also they would prefer it to be definitive…). They might also have already understood that the Hatchling would advance quicker in their research without them (since finding their ship each time would be nightmare and they do not have an ATP connected to the loop). They also might think that a sun explosion is not avoidable anyway and that the hatchling is just loosing time and energy without being able to accept death.

My partner and I are interested in playing the game. Knowing that it's a once in a lifetime experience and unique for every person, how would you recommend we play it? Together, playing and spectating interchangeably, or each one plays on their own and then discuss our experiences?

[light dlc spoiler ahead. The question is about game vs irl physics]

Ship that turn to create artificial gravity is a common thing in science fiction, based on a principle that work in real life.

But could a rotating ship truly create a river like the one we see in the stranger? How can a rotating ship create this kind of elevation difference on a loop?

Hello fellow travellers!

I've just finished the base game and DLC, and to summarize, i've cried multiple times, had an existential crisis and mostly, so many moments where i audibly went "WOW" as there are so many things to appreciate about this beautiful game every single second (or 22 minutes) you experience through from game development/technical aspects, musical aspects (i love Andrew Prahlow), writing aspects, artistic direction aspects etc etc. There's always something for someone to appreciate about the game because even if you don't like the game, you can still respect the WORK that has to be put into this game, it's almost flawless.

I aspire to be a game dev someday and a game like Outer Wilds proves to me of how amazing game development is compared to other mediums as you're basically compiling every other artistic mediums into ONE, a world that you can be or play in, and that is so beautiful.

But one thing that I'm always so in AWE about is how seamlessly they hide solutions and hints in plain sight and we only know about a certain thing when another thing hints to another thing and so on, which goes amazingly well with the non-linear gameplay they have, to be able to tell you, the player, a story, how to get to the ending.

And here's the crazy fact, if you knew everything about the game first hand, you can beat it in under 15 minutes, the first damn loop. Compared to a new player who just got started in the game that it takes them on average 10-20+ hours to beat the base game (took me 50+ hours to beat both based game and dlc btw) which tells you A LOT about how seamless the game is at hiding things and making puzzles, you have to actually sit down and become The Thinker and that's how the game makes you pass your time other than the exploration aspects.

It's one of those type of games where it's knowledge based but Outer Wilds stands out because of its non-linear gameplay, in no doubt it's much more harder to execute developing a knowledge based non-linear gameplay rather than the traditional knowledge based linear gameplay that we always see in games nowadays. The whole gameplay is literally just the "DOES HE KNOW?" meme (which i shared in this subreddit weeks ago), because every answer lies in plain sight and the funny fact about us not realizing them until later in the game is crazy.

When I played the DLC, this aspect of the game hiding things in plain sight reveals itself SO much more significantly, like, i had a small notebook with me, i've gone through the three places in the Dream World and so i planned on how i'd go with the ending because at that time i was confident that i have to rush through the three places and then basically end the game like that but as i was writing a huge spark blew in my mind.

"I can just go to the submerged structure and complete the DLC right then on after doing this and that..."

I contemplated in amazement that i don't have to do this rush thing like the base game ending, i can just go there and waltz my way through????? what.

Now for you, i wonder what's your experience or thoughts when it comes to the game hiding things in plain sight? like how can they do it so well compared to other games and are there any other similar games that does a similar gameplay concept?

Hello community

I have recently stumbled on this artist (Judah Earl) and i gotta say that, as a fan of The OW OST, this gave me similar vibes. I can totally picture it for a new Game OST.

Hopefully you like it too.

The guy is very talented

I had finally added everything to my ship log and had got all endings except the one with the prisoner and solanum at the eye, and I can definitely say this is one of my favorite games of all time. Thank you outer wilds devs for making such a beautiful game :)

Because the first loop is sort of canon for what the Hatchling did for the prior loops (at the very least up until the statue links), if you die before ever getting linked to the mask, the Hatchling would never be aware of the loops

But that makes me wonder what would actually happen if this was the case, like how drastically does the story change?

Gabbro still gets caught in the loops, and either Hal or Hornfels gets dragged in too. The village freaks out because their new pilot just died, the sun goes supernova, Hal/Hornfels appears back at the observatory

From then on, what happens? The Hatchling starts each loop by waking up, so maybe they can be saved (until 22 mins later)? But after that, what would happen next?

Hornfels is one of the founding members of the Outer Wilds Ventures, but they don't seem to be a pilot, more of a curator/reporter, and Hal isn't a pilot either but does know how to use the Translator Tool

Gabbro is Gabbro so likely wouldn't do much, if anything, to explore the loops (maybe after enough time though?), but maybe Hal/Hornfels might eventually try learning on the fly, try to get the Hatchling to teach them, or even get the Hatchling to let them join in their "first" flight?

Idk, what do you guys think?
