Totally lost about getting into the Tower of Quantum Knowledge. I don't want to just look it up though.
I've explored just about everything else thus far, but I'm still stumped about getting into the tower. Can anyone give me just a hint or pointer?

try getting to it from the outside of the planet instead of looking for it on the inside

Is it related to quantum mechanics at all?
No that's not the solution. The solution is... kind of hard to hint without spoiling. It's not hard to do and you might find the solution by accident. And there's technically 2 solutions tbh. For both, you have to use a feature of the planet, the black hole, to be specific. There isn't like some locked door you have to open or anything.

Does one of the solutions involve waiting?

Go park yourself on the tower for a cycle. By the time the cycle ends, it will be clear what you need to do.

This.

Also, fire your scout at it.

Wait.

Keep waiting...

....and waiting...

+1 for the scout, it will help finding the tower later.
Instead of waiting, you can also doze off at the nearby camp fire for 12-15 min.
Welp, I'll just say, the other solutipn doesn't need any waiting at all, but is probably too hard for most casual players to do before they figure out the intended method.

I am interested in that other method, could you explain with the spoiler thingy

Okay I definitely understand what I need to do now. Thanks for the hints and thanks for not outright telling me what I needed to do :steamthumbsup:

I likely wouldn't have ever figured it out before frustration got to me
Oh it's the same in using the black hole...... to slingshot. https://youtu.be/nWjFi-6dI-k?t=36m18s Timestamped at 36m 18s.
