Odd Notes: Am i supposed to keep following rumor system and complete ship log?
Not sure on endgame beyond keeping on exploring
Thought initially this was dull and boring, but my 10 minutes became 30 minutes then an hour until i had to stop to collect all my thoughts
Did i get stuck in a loop after the Naomi statue or w/e its called flashed me using some mojo rewinding what happen to me??

Progress per Day:

Day 1:
Found feldspar in dark bramble following signal and lights. Found his ship and found his 1st campsite of a jelly fish. Died by a space piranha??? HELLA TERRIFYING
Not sure how i died. Some kinda white bluish explosion???
Decided to try to land on interloper. Made it but holy moly did not expect for my ship to fly off into the sun leaving me stranded. Decided to yeet myself into the sun. 2nd death
Decided to head to ember twin due to log from interloper talking about a gravity cannon. Headed to cable below caverns where its revealed sand is piling up so i gotta be quick

Day 2:

Headed to twin sun and died to sand after exploring caves. Turns out there is a time limit huh
Damn died to ghosts in eye shrine
Died to oxygen. But made it to angler fish in stepping stone. Seems to be some floatation warp above angler but died before i could reach it hmm
HOLY HELL IM HOOK in 3.3 hr mark - when ember twin’s sands one of them finally stopped pouring i was able to travel to the other twin since my ship got cracked and i couldn’t use it. So using that ancient ship i traveled over there. Tried to find more clues but got gravityed back to the now sand planet. All while im exploring and finding new ruins here and then i see the supernova from our sun which caused the time loop? And now i learn i get new dialog from the dude in campfire.
Interloper burns up in expanded sun
Small red dot is the map satellite. Knock it out and no mo MAP LOL

Day 3:
Decided to explore giants deep, Met Gabbro is such a bro. Dude reveals hes in a loop like us AHHHHH
Place has big tornados and a water world. That somehow launches the small islands in the atmosphere. Gravity is 2x.
Turns out there is space probe somewhere
Walked on walls due to crystals
Ruin token fragments can inject old memory simulations - kinda weird
Went back to home planet and explored. Found another quantum shard nearby. Grove
Went underneath and learned the translations weve been deciphering were nomai? Or some other race which constructed these incredible ruins that still work. They even met us! Well our ancestors. So were following in their footsteps kinda
Also found out if i go underwater in giants deep i could explore a new place i couldn't get into earlier
and the shattered gravity cannon im assuming orbiting the giants deep planet has a place to explore which ill return to
Dark bramble red color has some kinda molecule once i sent my probe deep
^turns out anglers are blind.

Hmm crashed and new expedition showing oh boy. Similar reports online oof
^ lets see how fast i can get back which i will test the replay value.
^^ took 2 hours to get back to where i was at. From 6+ hours of progress. I’d say thats pretty good!

Day 4: Exploring the rest of giants deep
Learned you can go inside the big hurricane
Explored the shattered gravity cannon orbiting giants deep. Turns out these projections are pretty nifty
Found white hole station - i wonder if i can save myself from the super nova
Defeated the quantum trials - and subsequently learned the secret how to get to the moon
LANDED ON THE MOON.
WTF everything is moving.
Decided to head into another ship.
Got transported into another system??? Or is this ages past??? Brittle hollow has a god damn black hole.
I fell into it like a fool and can’t figure out how to get back
Died in space…
-black forge controls in bitter hollow
Didnt transport to another star system. Black hole and volcanic moon made the planet destabalize
^This place is full of lore still need to get to bottom observatory
Quantum moon is sixth location
Seems like the north pole on moon is the key. But how to get there hmmm
Explored attel rock and found last space traveler on bitterhollow i think

Day 5:

Hmmm not sure how to reach the black hole forge, sixth location on the moon at the north pole and the vessel in dark bramble… hmmm
HOT DAMN - quantum i can teleport if in completely dark
Tried this out on quantum moon and im blocked by a quantum ore wtf??? I see the eye maybe??
Super nova still didnt protect me while im on the moon lol
Turns out ash twin project casing can protect me from a super nova??? But how do i get inside….
Not sure how to get to vessel in dark bramble. Im stumped
No idea how to get on center of giants deep - they say a hint is at southern observatory in brittle hollow but im stumped how to get there
I FREAKING KNEW THE COMET WAS THE CAUSE OF THE SUPERNOVA. Confirmation from going inside the comet lol

Day 6:
Ohhhhhh the tornado counter clockwise to enter giants deep
Then go inside jellyfish like what feldspar said to get inside
^found exact coordinates of eye but not showing on map
%^^ probably need final clue of quantum rule to get there with shrine. But how to do that…
Finished brittle hollow
^ all thats left is ash twin, sun station, finding vessel and moon.
First need to find someway to enter energy lab either by warping or through sunless city. Hmmmm.. Could yolo onto sun station via ship + jet pack but hella risky as heck.

Day 7:
All right finally got to vessel decided to walk backwards or just use propulsion…. Latter worked to my disbelief but made sense.
Not sure what im supposed to do with the 3 inputs inside the vessel. The cracked warpcore i slotted back in.
Decided to head back to ember twin to somehow get to energy lab. Figured out i have to wait for the sand to arise so i can properly follow the cable
Tested out the black and white warp cores and somehow got a bad ending??? I inadvertently caused a break in the space time holy moly
Learned the other ash planet towers can warp so I started testing that.
Got to the sun station finally - though not much here huh. Except learning they want to cause a supernova huh
Decided to go back and reassess what I have to do. So now im clueless on how to get to the moon which i assume is the final objective. But i need to somehow get shrine on there.
Blackhole forged controls, vessel 3 inputs, ember twins some kinda power i can initiate inside the high energy lab

Day 8:

Decided to head back to moon but after recalling sanctum ship on moon. Tried to manipulate spot to get the shrine at north pole. AND IT WORKED OMG. I EVEN MET A NOMAI AHHHHHHHH - interesting way to converse.
Decided to go back to ember twins and head back to warp pad. Maybe im hitting it too soon? Decided to wait beside a cover and HOLY MOLY IM INSIDE. SO MUCH LORE
A WARP CORE - think this is the thing i need for the vessel. Gonna use it
Used it and inputted coordinates from the eye which were kinda letters.
HOLY IS THIS THE EYE???
WHAT IS GOING ON???
ALL MY INSTRUMENT PALS AHHHHH
The music is soooo gooooood
Damn so the whole point was that our universe was dying literally the last 22 minutes. But the journey of discovery and wonder as an alien astronaut is unparalleled.
