Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to inform the sub that there is a new rule in our rules list. Please be aware that this is not a new rule as these situations have always been moderated the same way in the sub. However, for clarity, I have added this to the official list of rules here!

The rule reads as follows:

No Piracy, No "Freebie" Requests, Sales Must Follow Mobius's Policies

The devs worked hard to create a game that people love, and deserve to be compensated for their work. This rule includes but is not limited to:

• No Pirating link shares or requests
• Sale of unlicensed merch must follow Mobius's policies
  • * edit: those with permission from Mobius to sell in bulk or who follow Mobius' created content sales policy may sell the things they've created here! See below for details!
• No requests for gifted games, free content that players would normally pay for, etc
• No scalping (selling content for higher than market value)

Please note that giveaways, reduced-cost resales, and other situations are allowed at mod discretion.

All posts of this nature or that could possibly fall under this rule will be up to moderator discretion, and failure to follow this rule could lead to being banned from the sub.

Mobuis has an official policy on fan-made artwork sales, and provided your post follows these policies, it will be allowed!

• Do not use official art or assets from our games in your sold fan works. 
• Do not make or sell fan works that are significantly similar to official items offered by our partners: link. 
• You are not permitted to mass-distribute, mass-produce or manufacture fan works without our express written permission.
• You are not permitted to set up crowdfunding (e.g. Kickstarter) for projects or products using or relating to our IP.
• We reserve the right to stop or remove any works at any time at our sole discretion for any or no reason.

Please contact the mods with any questions.

She made this for me ages ago but I saw the other cool post about coordinates, saw this on my wrist, and thought I’d share 😊

I did NOT expect this.

I played Hollow Knight and Subnautica before this, so I thought I already knew the “explore weird world and slowly figure shit out” type of game.

Nope.

I’m like 4 hours into Outer Wilds and I’ve barely explored Brittle Hollow, found the Hanging City, the Black Hole Forge, the Tower of Quantum Knowledge, saw some completely insane stuff happen, and I’m already hooked.

There have been multiple moments where I just stopped and went “what the fuck is going on” and then 10 minutes later something suddenly made sense.

And now I finally understand why everyone is so insanely strict about spoilers.

Like yeah, of course you don’t want spoilers. The whole game IS finding things out.

I feel like I’ve seen almost nothing and it’s already a complete banger.

Btw, do you have any suggestions for how to play the game?

i know ive barely grazed the surface but im already losing motivation because everything i found feels like nothing burger. any hints or motivation is appreciated 🫶🏼

I cannot land on any of the smaller, faster objects to save my life.

I know the autopilot. I know landing mode. I can read the trajectory arrows. I've watched tutorials. Everything.

I am try to land on the thing (no spoilers) orbiting Giant's Deep. I must have spent an hour trying to get on that thing.

It's the same with everything else. I can land on the planets ok, but I haven’t been able to progress and am about to quit the game. Whatever the amazing story is, I'll never see it because I'm just frustrated. I wish the game had some kind of easy mode for people who really suck at flying.

EDIT: Solved! Thanks everyone :)

First off, plenty of spoilers ahead, so beware. I assume most people browsing this sub have finished the game, but just in case, turn away now as I’m pretty sure I’m like 95% of the way there if not more.

TLDR is that I’m pretty sure I have figured out everything except for how to get into the dang Ash Twin Project core. I’ve made it this far without looking anything up but I might just need the tiniest of hints to get me over the last hurdle here.

I have every single info card in the ship log unlocked except for the Ash Twin Project, with no more “there’s more to explore here” tags.

I have the coordinates to the eye and put together how to plug them into the vessel. I know I need an advanced warp core to power the vessel (I tried bringing a warp core from the High Energy Lab but it says “this warp core doesn’t fit”)

The ship logs for the black hole forge notes that an Advanced Warp Core was made for the ash twin project, so I know I need to get in there (the giant question mark in my ship log is a giveaway too lol). The Nomai Mines logs note that the Ash Twin Project core is fully sealed off with no physical entrances, which implies I need to warp in there somehow, but I cannot for the life of me put together where that warp pad would be.

Prior to this the Sun station was the only place I’d yet to explore so I figured that would have my answer but it turned out not to have any information I didn’t already know or hadn’t already deduced.

My best guess is the Ash Twin Project warp has something to do with the alignment angle diagram in the black hole forge and the note that the twin planets share an alignment point? But I’m not sure how that helps me get into the Ash Twin core…

I discovered this game via a random Reddit comment last month and I haven’t had to look up any hints so far which I’m proud of, but I’m at the point where I’ve spent hours trying just to figure out this last bit and I’m just going in circles. I work full time and am in a masters program and I’m a dad of a toddler so I’m getting to the point where I can’t justify spending an hour at night here and there not making progress in this game lol so as much as this feels like giving up before solving the big puzzle, I’m at my wits end.

Is there an extremely minimal hint that can push me in the right direction without spoiling anything? Am I close enough that I should just keep pushing along with no hints?

Does anyone have an image file for these posters i love the design but the deluxe edition isn't available anymore so i was wondering if i could just print them out myself (not sure if this is allowed here so just tell me if its not and ill delete the post ::) )

>!/Help! I’ve been playing through the dlc for the first time and I have reached a bit of a wall. These are the leads I have so far: !/<

>!/ I have found my way into the house in the shrouded woodlands but every time I explore, the door is locked behind me and I’m surrounded and kicked out of the dream. Entering it while dead doesn’t change that. I believe the secret fireplace is in the house behind the strangers. !/<

>!/ I also found the mural I need to get behind in the endless canyon. I found a stranger watching a slideshow I can distract with my lantern but it doesn’t seem to make him leave that location, just turn off the slide and then back on shortly afterwards. I think I need to lure him to open some door I don’t have access to yet but I’m not sure how. !/<

>!/ The slide burning room taught me that I can enter the dream world while dead to silence the alarms and that lets me disable one of the chains in the sealed vault. I think the secrets to undoing the other two are behind the two puzzles I’ve attempted above. Not sure if I’ve just missed any hints or need to do more exploring. I’m not sure where else I haven’t explored yet, but any help is appreciated and I’m happy to provide any more detail in the comments! !/<

Has anyone made a sort of racing mod for Outer Wilds?

I was talking to a friend about the new Tesla car and how it's a kind of a joke and that the best thing to come from it will be the GTA parody version to play with in GTA 6.

But it got me thinking about how fun it would be to have a racing game that properly uses 3D space and thrusters for manoeuvring a course.

Made me think of how fun an Outer Wilds Kart mod would be. You could have Suit races and Ship races. Use all the current assets to make themed courses out of and all that. Use different gravities to put an effect on different tracks or sections of track. Make the ghost matter become like, clouds that slow you down etc.

Im really hoping this mod already exists and someone can point me in the right direction but if not, maybe I've provided some inspiration for those more talented than I!

Help me fulfil my dumb idea's please ::)

(Scout launcher counts as a thruster)

When I first played the game I spent months listening to its OST and I stumbled upon this End Times cover on youtube.

I wouldn't be able to describe the actual music but I distinctly remember that it had the new universe art (the one shown post credits) as background and probably thumbnail. Another detail I remember is that the song started at a very slow pace, slower than the original. Last thing I remember is that at some point the subtitles read "AGGRESSIVE SYNTH SOLO" (and it really was an aggressive synth solo).

I've been replaying the game with my bf and I went looking for the video on youtube but it's gone now and I need to listen to it again! Does anyone know this cover and where to find it?

i know i recently posted about being stuck already, but now i genuinely no clue where to go or what to do.

i have no leads, i fully explored both the forge and the high energy lab and talked to Solanum.

help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I really enjoyed Outer Wilds. The mystery, the exploration, the way everything comes together, and especially the message at the end all worked for me. But I kept running into this disconnect between the scientific concepts the game uses and the actual world those concepts supposedly exist in.

I think my biggest issue is that the game requires a sort of continuous willful suspension of scientific disbelief. It feels like a fairytale in disguise. It uses the language and aesthetics of astrophysics, quantum mechanics, and space exploration, but a lot of those concepts seem to exist primarily as puzzle mechanics or ways to move the story forward. I'm not expecting a scientifically perfect simulation, obviously, but I kept wanting to know how these things actually work within the world.

How did the Hearthians evolve into a spacefaring civilization? Where are the resources, infrastructure, industry, and supply chains supporting their technology? What does their ecosystem even look like? The village has, what, a dozen people living in wooden houses, and somehow there's a functional space program. I know the answer is that none of this is really what the game is about, but I couldn't stop thinking about it.

And the scale is a big part of it. The solar system feels less like an actual universe and more like a kids' diorama, with little planets arranged around a sun. You can zip between them so quickly that space loses a lot of its sense of vastness and danger. The game wants to evoke cosmic awe, but the world itself feels almost comically small.

I get that the scale is intentional. It makes the exploration manageable and lets the developers handcraft every location, clue, and interaction. And it works extremely well for the mystery they're trying to tell. But I found myself wishing the world had more depth beyond what was necessary to make the puzzles work.

Interestingly, No Man's Sky gives me much more of that feeling of being in a huge, interconnected universe, even though it has plenty of its own abstractions and isn't exactly a rigorous scientific simulation either.

I guess what I'm getting at is that I love the way Outer Wilds uses scientific curiosity as a method of exploration, but I wanted more of the science to extend into the worldbuilding itself. I wanted to think about the biological, ecological, and industrial consequences of the things the game introduces, and I often felt like the game stopped at the cool concept instead.

I'm not saying this makes the game bad. I think it's brilliant at what it sets out to do. I'm just curious whether anyone else had this experience, where they loved the story and the ideas but struggled to buy into the world as an actual place that could exist, even on its own terms.

Cuando leí sobre este juego me interesó muchísimo. Me gustan mucho los juegos de mundo abierto y a priori eso de explorar planetas y descubrir cosas era muy interesante. Pero llevaré unas 5 horas de juego y me aburro. Voy a un planeta y si encuentro algo no tiene sentido, no se que hacer y siempre después de unos 20 minutos vuelvo a empezar. No sé cómo gusta tanto este juego

Millions of people will now never get to play the game... He doesn't even put spoiler warnings on the titles, I wouldn't be mad if he said "Don't watch if you haven't played"

Edit: Alright man I get it I don't have a very mainstream opinion
