hey just not sure how to progress? i got to the point of seeing the hidden light and getting the 2 sized white hole core, and made it to the core. not sure what next

[dramaticuser]

not sure where the lost notes coul be

[TheLoweDown256]

Details

re-read the recorder and ship log that talks about hidden light expanding

Details

is there any way you could undo this?

[dramaticuser]

i got the hidden notes, i think ik what to do now

[dramaticuser]

ok so
i got the warp core to 100 percent size of normal and got the vessel to regrow, but it ddoesnt fully regrow? not sure what to ddo

[TheLoweDown256]

Details

the warp core % size must be less than the % size of the planet

[Spitflies]

Just finished, this is an amazing mod! Well done! Definitely in my top 3 favorite mods of all time.

[TheLoweDown256]

Thank you!

I'm stuck at the 2 towers, I activate both within 15 seconds and still stay Orange, don't turn green ??

[TheLoweDown256]

Unfortunately that means you did not activate them in 15 seconds.

Details

Is there some way you could make yourself have to travel less distance between towers?

[NeroZashi]

I've attempted 6 times so far, I've been jumping and gliding from switch to switch I counted 12 seconds when I activated the 2nd switch, that's why I thought it was bugged.

[TheLoweDown256]

What other mods do you have enabled?

[TheLoweDown256]

And what size is the planet when this happens?

[NanFyn]

Umm is the two towers bugged? I thought I was just too slow but I set up the timer in steam and made sure I reached two towers within 15s, it still shows orange, and when the towers shrink to a certain size they can't be activated anymore (the ball still shows blue at the top of the tube and it doesn't stay)

[TheLoweDown256]

What other mods do you have enabled?

[TheLoweDown256]

And what size is the planet when the orbs are stuck blue?

[NanFyn]

I have all Jam5 A side mods and dependencies, Outer Wilds Chinese Fix, Cheat and Debug Menu and Discord Rich Presence, all of which I don't think should cause any issue. I stayed by one tower and noticed it gets deactivated 7s after I turn it to orange. I don't know how to describe the size but the orbs stuck to blue approximately 55s before the planet disappears if it helps.

[CovertCoderI0I]

Late reply but I'd suggest deactivating the "Cheat and Debug Menu" mod and trying again to see if it helps. It could potentially be messing around with something that's unintentionally affecting the mod.

I've played good mods and imperfect mods, but no bad mods before. And this mod sure is a good one! It was gonna be in my top 10 for outer wilds for sure! UNTIL I GOT TO THE TOWERS! I have NEVER in my life been more FURIOUS at a video game. I have never wanted to CHOKE the life out of a human being more. EVERY SINGLE IMPERFECTION PUNISHES YOU! I've played games that are SUPPOSED to make you angry and they're more forgiving. Boost 0.0001% slightly too fast? overshoot your target? hit your head on a tree? skim a single pixel of polygon of the dome and take lethal damage? hit your head on the poles of the towers? hit your head on the walls of the tower? ALL of the geometry of the tower section works against you. If you overshoot it, nothing catches you. But you can still smack into the trees, the poles, the wooden bars, the pole itself. EVERYTHING works against you and NOTHING works for you. There's no gravity crystal or floor to catch you? Just do it again! and again! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN!
And checking the comments, and seeing SO MANY OTHER people frustrated by this almost makes me feel a little bit better. But this might be the first mod ever where i don't even WANT to finish it. I'm going to watch a youtube video to see whatever 4 seconds of dialog i'm missing out on.

[TheLoweDown256]

If you feel like trying again, or if anyone else is stuck here, here's some tips for the towers:

Details

• You have to manually decelerate with your jetpack otherwise you will overshoot.
• If the trees are a problem you can try flying past one of the poles to the other tower, instead of flying along the equator.
• This puzzle gets easier the smaller the planet is as it means you have less distance you need to fly.
• You actually have slightly over 15 seconds, so it is slightly forgiving.
• A Nomai recorder says this but it's easier to miss than most other text so I'll write it here: both orbs turn green when both towers are activated.

otherwise heres a video :) https://youtu.be/K0b9qqYQ52Y?t=818

Late reply but the towers part does get a bit easier if you know what to do:

Tips

• I'd suggest practicing being able to quickly accelerate and decelerate your jetpack. That way, you will be able to quickly slow down or speed up when traveling between the towers and avoid taking damage.
• It gets easier the smaller the planet/ship gets. If it takes too long to go from one tower to the next, try waiting for the planet to grow smaller before attempting it again.
• Leave a Scout at one of the towers, go to the other tower and chart out a path that doesn't go through the trees. That way, when you attempt it for real, you'll know the path you need to take to avoid hitting any trees along the way.
• Only use boost when you're taking off or when you need to slow down quickly. Using it to traverse between the towers won't always work since that means you'll end up with too much momentum to stop in time and overshoot it.

Honestly one of the best mods i played. It wasnt really in the jam's theme of "mini star system" and wasnt ultra quality but it was still quite decent and fun. Really liked the idea of saving a planet-sized spaceship at the brink of core collapse. Definitely looking forward to future mods from this creator.

[Alt-Effour]

this all felt like a fever dream. I randomly got bigger when in the ship, sometimes just stopped being effected by the Nomai Gravity Tiles, and the whole mod was really trippy. Peak modding

[Alt-Effour]

I just clipped out of the ship and can now only see the black hole, which just jumpscared me. Still great
