My favorite little tidbit: in the first loop, while talking about the memory statues, Hal mentions that your ship’s computer was built from the same kind of stone taken from another statue. Thereby explaining why your ship’s log maintains information even after the time loop. It’s such a cool little detail that they didn’t need to explain, but did.

One thing I liked as soon as I discovered it was that, as opposed to 'saving' Brittle Hollow by knocking away the meteors, you can actually *hurry it up* by crashing your ship into the planet.

One of my favorite details is the fact that the probe cannon found the eye after 9,318,054 firings, and the number of the current launch actually goes up with each loop that passes. Considering each loop is 22 minutes long, that means we were in the time loop for 389 years, 276 days, 21 hours, and 48 minutes before we were linked to the statue.

@@Kyfow I think it is not alternate realities, but that everything that happens to your character memory is contained in one reality where no events that you live actually happens if the ATP activates. The probe is fired in a random direction > 22 min later, the sun explodes, and the ATP activates > the probe information is sent back in time to the probe center 22 mins ago, right before the probe is fired again, in another random direction, and our timeline is "rewritten" as if we've always had the previous loop's information. Same thing for your character, you get memories of the past loops as if you've always had them in that timeline, without it ever happening. I think an event that kinda rules out the multiverse theory is when you break reality in the black hole laboratory (or by any other way of breaking reality) by throwing a scout in a black hole and removing that black hole when the scout pops out of the while hole a moment before entring the black hole. In this situation, the scout pops out of the white hole about 1 second before entering the black hole. If you consider this case in the multiverse theory, the reality breaking makes much less sense as the scout that travels through the white hole 1 second earlier should have been sent from another dimension/universe, thus not really breaking the rules of our reality itself. It doesn't straight out denies it, but makes a single reality scenario much more plausible.

It doesn’t rule anything out. It’s always funny to me. People say the space time shatters due to cause and effect being violated. But that happens everytime something enters a black hole. What doesn’t happen everytime is the thing “duplicated “ stays. IMO the thing that actually changes in these situations are the future. So, yeah. It’s from another universe. But it isn’t cause and effect causing reality to shatter. It’s the fact that the duplicate staying would change the current universes future. At least IMO. As for time being rewritten. It seems like nonsense to me. When we enter a black hole all of time isn’t rewritten. Why would sending our memories through do that? Idk. Even the nomai, who thought this was a cause and effect phenom, debate whether or not time is being rewritten.

One little thing I only just noticed: Hearthians have 4 eyes, which shows in the player's vision. When the player opens their eyes at the start of each loop, the screen fades in with two separate lines, as the player-character opens both sets of eyes. And when they get injured, a white haze appears across the screen, in the same double-line pattern.

So fun thing, if you pop a scout high enough in the quantum moon's atmosphere, most notably on the quantum shrine just above the cloud cover, you can track it after leaving the moon! You can then make the moon disappear from the galaxy by looking at the entire galaxy in the map, panning the map to leave the QM off the map, and repeat if necessary until you force it to the 6th location. Where the scout will be. You can fly to the scout and . . . see the lights of the quantum shrine floating beneath the shrine! You can land on the moon there, but it all it does is game exception -> instadeath, presumably from the QM trying to load itself up and getting nothing. Still fun to know that the QM's 6th location has a physical, and even reachable, location in game :)

I have a simple theory for the different suits colors. Nomai are likely entirely space-faring, meaning any dyes they use would likely be entirely synthetic from mined asteroids or desolate planets. The group that landed on Brittle Hollow found a mineral-rich world (the crystals) and thus were able to continue making their suits as normal. The ones on Ember Twin, however, had no such luck and so were forced to use natural dyes: the native cacti!

one of my favorite details in the game was how, in the nomai mines on timber hearth, the nomai remarked how they mined so much metal that if they needed any metal it would likely prevent any future civilizations from exploring advanced metallurgy. and then, if you take a look at the architecture/constructions of the hearthnians, you can actually tell that they use very little metal if at all, and instead use mostly wood even in the spacecraft you pilot - which reflects how the nomai consumed so much of timber hearth's metals!

If you go back to the Vessel, and activate the warp core to warp to the eye of the Universe, you will see the eye with many stars in the background. If you wait long enough all of the stars will explode, but there will be one remaining light, that looks like any other star, but if you zoom into that last light using the signal scope... you will notice it is not a star, but the device used by the owl people to quiet the eye's signal.

Both the anglerfish and jellyfish are found on multiple planets. I have a theory that the ice planet where Dark Bramble now resides had an ocean that was the original home of both of these species. When the Bramble seed ruptured the planet, it launched some of them all over the Outer Wilds. It's possible that this is why you can find anglerfish in Dark Bramble, an anglerfish fossil in Ember Twin, a frozen jellyfish on Dark Bramble, a jellyfish in a piece of Dark Bramble on Giant's Deep, and more in the core which could have thawed out from the same iceberg.

The 5th planet was indeed an ice planet that may have had an ocean underneath. This is definitely where the jellyfish came from, confirmed.

In the high energy lab, you can create a black and white hole pair, recreating their experiment. And if you shoot your scout, you can see it popping out of the white hole before entering the black hole. Though the mechanics are a little buggy, the time difference is not consistent. One time it hit the wall and fell into the ground, exiting the white hole but never entering the black hole, cloning itself. Another time it slingshotted around the black hole, not only cloning itself but also clipping the wall and flying outside of the cave.

When you think of space, you remember your insignificance in time and the universe. I think outer wilds depicts this well. No matter what you do. The nomai always die, the sun always explodes, the hearthians are always killed, and dark bramble will always spreads, the pod always shoots, brittle hollow always breaks, and ash twin always loses its sand(of course you can stop the loop by reaching an ending). But most of all, no matter what you do, no matter how fast you finish, the universe ends its life. Similar to real life. The only things we can change is the things around us. Humanity can level mountains, rise the seas, and control air itself. Even if we cannot affect major celestial and universal events, we can still change the world around us, as long as we have hope, and determination, we can do almost anything.

He could have experienced a couple loops being fully aware, contact the Tracking Module people to have them leave a note in the module computer saying "I have retained my memories from the previous firing of the probe cannon," then disconnected himself from the statue so that he's not experiencing the rest of the loops until the probe finds the Eye.

The ancestor is not the same species as a living one, both species mutated and evolved equally, just responding to different evolutive pressures. That's how speciation works. We didn't evolve from (modern) chimpanzees, the common ancestor between humans and chimpanzees lived about 10 million years ago, though it probably looked very similar to modern chimpanzees. But having the same appearance as an ancestor species doesn't make them less evolved, their genetics are actually quite different. Their evolutionary adaptations to live in forests means they kept the same body shape, while we changed in adaptation for living in a savanna and a different diet, but the genetic distance is pretty much the same.

12:53 This actually isn't unique to the Eye. If you take the ATP Warp Core and fly far away from the Outer Wilds system (not going to the Eye), you can actually survive the supernova and as well witness the death of the universe. After some time the screen will fade to black, so you can also count this as an ending.

There's a lot of sad and dark details with the positions of the Nomai skeletons. Like a balcony with a pile of little bones amongst toy-like objects next to a large pile of bones on a bench, suggesting that a parent was watching their child play with their toys just as the Interloper popped and killed them both instantaneously.

Another cool detail! If you compare the Nomai gravity elevators with your ships gravity elevator you can see that the Hearthians have made use of Nomai technology. However, while the Nomais gravity elevators are smooth concentric circles, the ships gravity elevator reverse engineered by the Hearthians is squirrely and rough.

Another cool fact is that 4/6 astral bodies (planets and moons) have some evidence of the planet that used to be where dark bramble is, or what it is now. - Ember Twin has the anglerfish skeleton - Ash Twin has nothing that I know of, but the hourglass twins could be a result of a large impact from part of “planet 5” - timber hearth recently got the dark bramble seed (yikes) - the Attlerock’s entire far side is a crater filled with ice from “planet 5” - Brittle Hollow and Hollow’s Lantern are well defended against the plant-like growth since the seed wouldn’t have enough crust to root into on the former and would just fall into the black hole, unable to root itself at the white hole. If ice from “planet 5” were to crash land there and form a crater it might melt from extended time in direct sun light. (The surface village on brittle hollow might be an old crater) - Hollow’s Lantern is essentially Hell - Giants Deep has the bramble island with the frozen jellyfish (did those originate on Giant’s Deep or planet 5) - Dark Bramble is/was planet 5, and also has a jellyfish frozen outside of the seed.

@@maple... I believe the jellyfish were native to planet 5 but the branches broke it apart and scattered them across the system, with them landing on Giant's deep and they adapted to live in the core. I think the anglers were native to the seed that came to planet 5. I doubt that they would live in water before but adapt to the seed. One probably wandered out at some point and ended up in Ember Twin.

The dev says they either came from another bramble plant, or ember twin. The fact is, in the environment they live in now, there would be no reason for them to have evolved as they have. To me anyway, it seems much more likely they evolved in water and their home planet got eaten by a bramble. We know some anglers end up popping out of bramble( that’s how we got the one in the observatory). It could easily naturally float to ember twin from there.

I know it's pretty late to be adding this, but Solanum's name could also be a variation of a latin word for "lonely." It might be the potato plant thing considering ALL of the other Nomai are named after plants, but Solanum is also a very exceptional Nomai, and "lonely" would be a fitting title given that she's the last living (mostly) Nomai in the Heartian system.

Here's a fun one: If you fly really far away from the sun, then point your signal scope at the sun, on the Outer Wilds frequency, you can hear all Hearthians playing their instruments at the same time, in sync. Another fun fact: I discovered this when one time I almost got sucked into the sun, but missed it by a hair and got catapulted into one of the planets (probably one of the hourglass twins) so hard, that the front of my ship got ripped of and I was spun out of the solar system at incredible speed, and decided just to go with it and sit out the cycle. That is when I found out about the signal scope trick I just mentioned. I watched the sun go supernova, but it did not destroy me. Instead you will see your life experience in that cycle get stopped, by the mask symbols folding over your view and the next cycle will be initiated. Pretty neat ;-) This game is such a trip.

The Nomai beds are designed for their naturally arched backs. Also, the writing style of the nomai maybe indicate that they are used to or developped their writing in Low to 0G...hense the writing in spirals. Makes sense since they are travelers, they never stay on one specific planet, and experience different types of gravity.
