Its established that the Hearthians knowledge of space and space travel is EXTREMELY new in-story and their knowledge of it at all is shaky at best. Why WOULD they know anything about it? Youre just making a lot of assumptions on your own that directly contradict what is in the game and then getting upset at it because it doesnt match what you made up. <cite>tcaz2 posted [p:972821408] in Why did no...

So to say it's too coincidental is to say the anthropic principle is too coincidental, which sure it might be, but it's also totally real.

the_rowan 04/13/23 6:53:38 PM #108:	guffguy89 posted... To answer your question without giving away any story spoilers: You probably noticed by now that as the ash planet loses sand, a group of buildings connected by a bridge slowly appears. Each of those buildings have a teleportation stand that allows you to teleport to a different location. The mechanics of teleportation in the game involve standing on the special teleportation flooring tiles and then looking up. When the planet you are supposed to teleport to intersects with the crosshairs, then you teleport to that location. Slightly more detailed spoilers on how to get to ~~center of ash twin~~ if you need the help: For ash twin, this is a little difficult because you don't want to get sucked up by the sandstorm, but that's exactly when the planet crosses the teleportation point. You'll want to find some nearby cover and time your jump on the teleportation platform at just the right moment. Dont forget to look up. Just to be clear, ~~looking up~~ has literally nothing to do with how these things work and is not necessary. --- "That is why war is so tragic.

guffguy89 04/13/23 9:22:41 PM #117:	the dlc is very self-contained. You'll be spending your ~~22 minutes of the loop~~ over and over again in the same location. No world hopping required like what was frequent with the main game. So I'd say you'd have no problem getting back into it. As far as doing the dlc first before finishing the game, I hesitate to say this since it's clear you've made up your mind already, but I'm in the same camp as several others that the best way to experience outer wilds dlc is finishing the game, then dlc, then finish the game again. I'm not sure how spoiled you are on the ending of Outer Wilds, but having that knowledge going into the dlc really enriches the dlc experience in my opinion. It just gives you a fuller perspective on it. With that being said, it's not necessary to finish the game first, so feel free to do it the way you want to, which it sounds like is what you're doing. --- Don't mind me.

My main advice for it is to be observant and make sure you examine everything carefully, try to avoid brute forcing things if you have no clue about the answer and instead really think about cause and effect or look elsewhere for more options/information, and if something seems really challenging compared to the rest of the game, there could be an easier way to do it. --- "That is why war is so tragic.

foolm0r0n 04/14/23 9:16:08 AM #141:	Well honestly the main reason for doing the ending first instead of the DLC is that the DLC isn't really great. It has a certain tedium to it that seriously kills the momentum of the game. It's means to be chewed on and experimented with for a longer period of time, to kinda extend the playtime. It totally doesn't fit into the absolutely flawless pacing of the main game. Epyo posted...

It's definitely a different experience from base Outer Wilds (mostly because ~~the ship isn't really a factor~~) but the core exploration and sense of problem solving through knowledge acquisition is still there. I also think the story elements are a fantastic foil to the base game's, although I'll hold off on detailed thoughts until I learn everything. For now I'll just comment that ~~the deer/owl/whatever people having an anti-jumpscare is really funny.
