Did anyone else waste a *lot* of time in the Quantum Grove? (minor spoilers)

[Gentle Dementia]

When I first stumbled on the Quantum Grove on Timber Hearth I was so sure there had to be something I was missing. I spent so many full loops just spinning around, trying every possible permutation of the vents and trees and poem, convinced there was a 'solution'. I thought maybe if I could get the poem into the most 'correct' order I could find then the geyser would be in a unique spot that would let me into an otherwise-inaccessible cave.

It wasn't until much later that I checked a guide (I was working on the 100% entries achievement) and confirmed that, yup, it's just a grove.

I think the hint is mostly that the poem is written on wood, and in english, that it has to be Hearthian and thus not really connected to anything else! but coming from any other game it is a strange area to create without purpose.. I feel like the museum shard shouldn't be there and we should have been pressed to go to the grove to learn about the existence of quantum shards instead!

The only real thing to do there is get the geyser to spawn in the middle of the pond.

Doing that will let you fall down it and then travel to the image of Nomai finding the aquatic creatures (the main species we play as).. There are multiple ways to get there but that is one of them in case you didn't think of the others.

i didn't but i'm glad you did. it's a lovely place.

I completely missed this the first time I played it, so I didn't know about this whole thing of quantum stuff moving when you're not looking until I found that big piece on one of the planets (I can't remember which one. I think it was Brittle Hollow) and the Nomai messages there talking about it.

Doesn't someone tell you which Hearthian made it even, or am I imagining things?

You can talk to Gabbro about it, who is the creator.

I found it when I played, but didn't really take all the quantum lessons to heart until WAY later in my playthrough (especially because I did not find the big tower shard until after having completed the game, heh.)
