How do you solve puzzle without looking at wiki? and other questions *SPOILER*

[Timcanpy]

Right now i at brittle hollow. As i try to look for all the known location, Places like Black hole forge and Quantum tower are not accessible. I tried not to look at the wiki but puzzle is not clear for me to understand what to do. For the quantum tower, at the base has some gravity floor and i thought i need to parkour to access or something. apparently not. Then other place like black hole forge i can't access until i go to other planet.

1) Is there lore or hint that indicate what i am suppose to do if something is not in according to plan?
2) Is a map system for me to indicate locations that i have found? like the map does not allow to zoom all the way in to see planet at normal distance. There are some shortcut around the planet but i unable to return the shortcut quickly without wasting time flying around the planet.
3) Why there isn't an diary in the game about all the native dialogue?
4) Why the npc of the planet does not give any useful info after i found something?

1) There's so much freedom there are so many solutions to any problems. I guess there are still many hints, but I ended up doing many things in unintended ways and it was fun like that, frustrating sometimes but fun.

2) You can press space in your ship logs to mark them. They'll show up as you're just walking or flying around. It's really nice.

3) Isn't that the ship logs? If you want smth more thorough, like transcriptions of the dialogues all in your ship computer...... yknow what? im kinda interested in that.

4) Yeah, I would like the NPCs to be more interactable. That's what this missing. VN conversation branches. (Joking aside, I guess there is 1 or 2 people who're a bit more interactable than all the others. Still, it'd be kinda interesting to see everyone's reaction to what you discovered on planets or about the time loop. I just want their approval, man. I wanna see their reaction to the crazy stuff I've seen!)

The rumor mode of your ship log records everything important, anything related to solving puzzles or understanding the big picture will be in there as you learn it.

The entire game is lore and hints, though sometimes you will need to study the environment and not just the text, some places you just need to know something you learn somewhere else and a lot lf the mystery is across the whole system not just single planets! Also as it is a timeloop, sometimes the answer is to know when to get somewhere, not just how

You can get through some puzzles with parkour or brute force but there will always be a simple way that doesn't require advanced skill to complete, just gotta figure out what it is!

For shortcuts they're always hidden near large landmarks you can find from orbit, there isn't a mapping feature besides the globe on your left that tracks where you've walked recently, as well as the North/South poles, but you can mark things that you've been to before using the ship log

As for NPCs, they just don't have answers most of the time, you're the first one to invent the translator tool! And they'll forget anything you tell them by the next loop anyway

If stuck it's best to ask for hints than look up anything, other fans will give gentle hints while most guides and wikis just blurt out the answer and not how you"re meant to figure it out which can spoil the fun of a mystery game like this

My advice when stuck is to always try and identify what the exact problem is, because the answer is usually something that you can do about it.

For example with the Tower of Quantum Knowledge: It's pretty broken even at the start of the loop and it's not gonna fix itself over time.. What if fixing it is not the easiest answer?

Have you noticed what happen to the quantum tower at the end of the loop ? You should stay with the tower ;)
