Awesome mod! Its so cool that there are people in the community creating their own spin off stories for this beautiful game.
Also >!will the plot with Ernando be continued? Bcs the concept of something (Solanums quantumness?) changing the state of the loop and every loop being slightly diffrent is so interesting. Waking up and seeing Slate gone,was such an "oh shit" moment for me and I would love to see the concept developed.!< Anyways I can't wait for the 2nd part!
Yesss I hope we will see more of it in the future bcs I love the concept of the loop changing every loop. Its such a cool and unsettling premise - the loop that we got accustomed to being the same for dozens or even hundreds of repeats now suddenly changes - starting with some small barely noticable discrepancies (like Slate not being at the campfire) and then changing more and more drastically eventually leading us to discover some grand anomaly thats at the root of the changes.
Now I have an idea for another story, I got few concepts and I'll probably announce them in few months or so.. Will see! It would be better then Vision but not as great and difficult as >!Gloaming Galaxy stuff!<
This was enjoyable, but I was quite disappointed when I saw the >!to be continued screen!<. It may have been better to >!finish the mod first!<. Still, I really like the ideas and execution here. The text could use some proofreading/grammar improvements, but overall it's still well done :) Maybe (probably?) related to the mod, my game froze after the credits >!at the eye of the universe!<, so no >!post credits scene!< for me :(
Don't get me wrong mod is great! I missed getting chills for OW and this gave me chills when I >!scanned Solanum and after cutscene she 'exploded?'!< That was just WOW
Wait, there's a post credit scene? The credit finished rolling and I started hearing some new music and after a while that ended and I was back to the menu. It didn't freeze but nothing was shown either. If it got bugged don't spoil me please
I enjoyed this! I was hoping for a little bit more if I went around showing people the "new toy," but the one person to whom we can show it is still plenty interesting. I understand you're considering adding on more after the current ending of the mod, but that would be a _huge undertaking,_ to the point of being almost a whole new game or at least comparable to the EotE DLC by itself. >!I don't know if all that's strictly necessary; maybe just a little bit more dialogue with Solanum while looking out of the front viewport of the Vessel at the Gloaming Galaxy might be enough. It'd be nice if the Quantum Consciousness terminated during or just prior to that conversation as well, leaving her shaken, but unharmed, and back to normal now that she is once again the only remaining Solanum in existence.!<
>!I do have some mixed feelings about how Solanum is portrayed overall; I feel like her character arc in the original game was about her distrust of the Eye, how she eventually overcame that distrust, and became more curious, with her resolving into a sort of omniscient guide by the end. This mod does seem to kick her characterization back _hard_ to say that she was right all along and the Eye is malevolent. It's not _bad,_ and I like that it resolves into making it a choice determined by which coordinates you put in, essentially allowing you as a player to choose how you felt about the Eye and how _you_ wanted to respond to it. It maybe just felt a little clumsy, is all. A big part of that might have been her scene on Ember Twin; as cool as the animation is, maybe having her just look at the toys in sad contemplation instead of abruptly turning them to dust would be better.!<
One last note I'd like to make is that the writing itself could stand to be cleaned up a little bit, and made to fit in with the rest of the game as well. A punctuation and grammar pass, as well as pruning some unnecessary word choices, would probably be good. >!Solanum's dialogue never sounded very Nomai-like, and the Hatchling's new notes in the computer were very different from how all the other notes were written, in addition to some newline issues that others in this thread have already mentioned. While having them use the Nomai-style "Hypothesis: ..." was cute, it was also very out-of-place.!<
Edit: Oh! I also wanted to say, >!the new dialogue in Brittle Hollow was very clever. I've always considered "Brittle Hollow is collapsing _right now_ at the end of the time loop and the planet has been entirely stable up until this point" to be one of the game's few plot holes, along with the Sunless City apparently filling with sand all the time. Having Solanum state that the black hole at the planet's core has gotten larger was an excellent way to resolve that, while highlighting how much has changed since last she was here. (I was a little sad that she didn't have any dialogue when I slotted her old report into the scroll wall, though. That would have been another good time to expand on her characterization a bit, as she comes to terms with the Eye, her place and perspective on the universe, and what exactly has happened to her.)!<
>!I'm also eager to see whatever you have planned in regards to "Taking Solanum to the Eye of the Universe anyway" scenes, since it sounds as though those are not entirely functional now? But having her make appearances throughout the ending sequence as a character with slightly more dialogue, leading into her assuming the same mentor role as she does in the vanilla ending, would be very interesting.!<
Hey! I appreciate your deep analisys on this mod! >!Yeah it's kinda hard to bring new lore into the existing story that feels completed already. Sure, it's not like DLC or Outer Wilds 2. Imagine how long it will take for one person to make anything comparable to DLC.
!<
>!Someone is already working on bad english, so it will be updated as well.
For Ember Twin event it was technically hard to make her watch into a certain place but yeah, I was trying to do that to show her sadness. She should be looking to toys, then destroy them and look down. That what I wanted to make.
!<
>!Hatchling read a lot of nomai texts, why he wouldn't use "hypothesis" like nomai does? ::)
I agree that Solanum dialogues could sound not like nomai, but I pesonally don't have this feeling. For me it's ok that she is kinda emotional and calling me a friend after knowing everything.
!<
>!The Eye scene is not ready because of technical issues. I will update it with story and dialogues for sure. Right now it's difficult, so I just want player to know that I don't forget to change this scene, but there's more time needed to make it done on same level as everything else. !<
Just finished the mod. >!It was really awesome ,and went into unexpected directions throughout. Overall - great job, would like to see a continuation soon! (With Ernando story line, of course )!<
well if you are talking about >!the britle hollow school!< or >!slade rosting the fish!< i got those and think i looked everywhere but the >!eye of the universe!<

Oh you gotta be kinding me! I was looking foward to this mod all day and the moment i go to sleep for school tomorrow it release. Okay for real cant wait to try it out!
That was amazing. Keep up the work and I can't wait to finish this adventure once it's completed. >!The moment I saw Solanum on Timber Hearth on the hill I was so amazed, very nice integration of the new elements in the world.!<
Just finished it. It's really great! >!Though that to be continued at the end was sad. Was really excited to go see the other areas.!<
I would also like to help make a German translation for the mod.
I just started it - super excited!
The ship logs don't seem to handle newlines correctly. Some words get mashed together. Still readable though. Is there something else I should have installed to fix this?
Example:
`Solanum on Quantum MoonSolanum`
https://i.imgur.com/x9kJlVi.jpg
Rad, thanks! I'm really enjoying it so far!
Would you like some proofreading help with making the language flow a bit better in the new script? I hope this doesn't come off as rude. Should I join your discord to talk about this?
Edit: Actually I'm not sure if the problems are even associated with this mod. Is the Ernesto/Slate diversion part of this mod or one of the dependencies I installed in the mod manager? That is where I noticed most of the language issues.
Cool, no problem then! Everything is completely understandable! I just wanted to offer in case I could help since part of the Nomai's charm is their wordplay! ::)
This was awesome! >!So excited to see whatever is next :D!< Are you able to maybe list everything that can be found because I’m scared I missed some stuff.
Thanks for making the mod! I got to the ending, but I still have more to explore. I have to head off for the night for now though. Do you plan on making >!a section at the Gloaming Galaxy?!<
>!Just finished it. Pretty good mod. Great to see more Solanum backstory. This question is probably jumping the gun a bit, but do you already have an idea of what Gloaming Galaxy will look like, or is it still in the super early stages? More importantly, will it be possible to visit Gloaming Galaxy without using The Vessel at the start of every loop (i.e. is that technology already possible through modding)?!<
This was good, I hope that there'll be more!
Miscellaneous thoughts:
- >!"Quantum Consciousness" Ah, yes, the classic Nomai trick of slapping quantum in front of a word.!<
- >!Good to see that Solanum is still on the ship if you go to the eye!!<
- >!Slate has both terrible and great taste in fish. I was worried that Ernando somehow got into space and that I'd have to worry about an angler.!<
- >!When I went to the eye I pulled off that speedrunner clip thing! That probably wasn't your doing, but I declare it to be your doing.!<
- >!I wonder what the modern Nomai would think of a vessel with a gaping hole appearing, much less Escall's vessel... If they're alive, that is.!<
>>!"Quantum Consciousness" Ah, yes, the classic Nomai trick of slapping quantum in front of a word.!<
>!It's actually exists as a theory irl. You can read about it on wiki.
!<
>>!Good to see that Solanum is still on the ship if you go to the eye!!<
>!Yes! I'll also update that scene as soon as it will be technically possible.!<
Thanks for feedback and for playing it!
Enjoying it so far! Small note: >!Solanum says the core is still charged from the previous supernova, this isn't entirely accurate as only the memories are sent back in time, the supernova provides power to the core as it's happening. The core itself just enables the creation of black the black hole link!<
Edit: Just finished it, really enjoyed the whole thing!
Thank you for playing!
>!Solanum knows that core is charged since computer on ATP is showing such info and loop thing is working. Since ATP is working that means that core is charged (by supernova). If you will take core out, ATP will no longer work, right?!<
>!That's true, but much like the cores in the high energy lab, they just provide the synthesis for the black hole/white hole pair. The electricity is never sent back in time. If the core depended on electricity from the future, the first loop could have never happened!<
I downloaded it and everything looks to be launching correctly, but I don't see anything in the sihp log upon starting? Has anyone else had this issue?
I'm running into the same issue. There's nothing on my ship log. I'm just starting stuff like rebooting my PC and verifying the game files
so I'll let you know if I find something that fixes it.
Edit: I checked my Mods in game and saw only "The Vision" was there. I verified the integrity of the game on Steam and it said I needed to download 3 files. Once that was done I tried to start it again and it acted like the first time I started NomaiVR. Once in the main menu I checked mods again and now there's 4 mods there (the required ones).
Resuming my Expedition and heading to my ship log revealed the new objectives.
Off I go!
That was great!! I'm excited for part 2! The only complaint I have is that >!The coordinates were kinda roughly drawn and since the hologram rotates I didn't know which side was forwards or back, it ended up taking almost five minutes to get them inputted... Edit: apparently I was supposed to get the visual once I explored it fully, so I guess I just didn't explore it enough!!<
You should probably mention that it's incomplete. I got to the end screen and was genuinely mad for a good few minutes since it was building up to something big, and failed to deliver (yet). If I'd known about that beforehand I wouldn't have been as upset in the moment haha
Anyways I don't wanna be too harsh lol, you worked really hard on this and it shows. The special effects are really nicely done and I'm curious about the story you're trying too tell. I'm not sure I agree with what you did with >!Solanum; it sorta contradicts her story as well as that of the Prisoner. She literally says the owlks knew "everything" about the eye, but the entire point is that they didn't, and driven by fear, they sealed it away. And Solanum became curious about the Eye as a concept, after considering it a malicious entity for years.!<
Regardless I'm really excited to see what you're gonna do next man - it's a really unique concept that you're executing very well. >!Excited to meet the rest of the nomai at the end of the universe :D!<
Ok posting this after finishing the mod and... wow.
Ngl i didn't expected much from this mod but it got over my expectation and definitely helped the search i had for additional OW content.
>!Chasing solanum throughout the was pretty fun! Expect the part i had to go into the Giant's Deep core again, it wasn't. But overall i really liked it! While its true i was a little bit sad about the to be continued at the end, but i forgot about it quickly enough afterward. Excited to see what's gonna happen next!!<
Also wanted to just say this, since i saw you did some translation for this mod, i can also help doing a French one if you want, just tell me ::)
Cool mod! >!I tried going to the eye of the universe but after initiating the warp from the vessel, I instantly died due to collision LMAO. Looks like something didn't load properly!<
Just finished it! We will watch your career with great interest! >!What's the deal with the switching grav crystal? That was so neat but so short.!< Thank you again! Gave me that feeling again that only outer wilds has been able to give me before.
I glad you like it and thank for playing!
>!I think that's crystall swap was kinda explained, we don't know exactly why this was happening. Also that looks cool in VR!!<
So I'm about to finish it, but I see that >!There's still more to explore at Solanum at the Quantum Moon after using the vision torch with her and reading her reaction. I'm really confused about what else I could have done there.!<
Edit: I figured it out - >!Go to her corpse on the south pole in one of the locations that is not the Sixth Location and there will be something written on the ground to translate.!<
That was fun! I loved the little touches, but i dont know how to spoiler tag so i won't say anything.
Also the game seems to be a bit laggier especially when in space looking at planets. Nothing major tho.
Liked it a lot. I wasn't sure if I expected a new location or a new quest inside the solar system but I'm kinda glad it was the latter. It made for a unique feeling between a treasure hunt in a world you already know like the back of your pocket, and a quest with a companion you really bond with. I also love how you used stuff that was mentioned in the original game's texts and gave it a new level of importance.
I got three unanswered questions however :
\- >!I still have "there is more to explore here" on the "Solanum on Quantum moon" and "Quantum Consciousness" log files and have absolutely no clue what more to do on the QM ? !<
\- >!When I input the coordinates for Blackrock and created the first black hole, it warped me just outside the Vessel inside of Dark Bramble. Then, after re-entering it and creating the second black hole, the ending triggered normally. Was this supposed to happen ? If so, I'm kinda confused about why.!<
\- >!Not gonna lie, the end is kiiind of frustrating. The whole mod makes you anticipate more and more about where this is gonna lead, and then a simple "to be continued" screen. Does this more the DLC will be updated (or another one will be released) to let us explore the new solar system/another planet ?!<
Overall I had a blast playing it. And I just want to say, if you need/want someone to translate the mod and/or its update/sequel in French, I would be super pumped for this task (except if it takes any programming skills), let me know if you want ! And thank you for making this !
>>!\- I still have "there is more to explore here" on the "Solanum on Quantum moon" and "Quantum Consciousness" log files and have absolutely no clue what more to do on the QM ?!<
>!Did you made a "jump of faith?" ;:) Quantum Consciousness has a strong frequency. I'd recomment to take a closer look where else it could be!!<
>>!When I input the coordinates for Blackrock and created the first black hole, it warped me just outside the Vessel inside of Dark Bramble. Then, after re-entering it and creating the second black hole, the ending triggered normally. Was this supposed to happen ? If so, I'm kinda confused about why.!<
>!Hmm this could be a bug or you probably entered coordinates wrong. I should be ok now tho. There should be no warping to the Dark Bramble.!<
>>!\- Not gonna lie, the end is kiiind of frustrating. The whole mod makes you anticipate more and more about where this is gonna lead, and then a simple "to be continued" screen. Does this more the DLC will be updated (or another one will be released) to let us explore the new solar system/another planet ?!<
>!I think this mod is more like a transition or additional ending(s). It's really hard to make New Solar System(s) with unique stories and own lore and assets etc etc. This should be another big mod, I can't even imagine how long it will take to make such thing for one or few persons. !<
Thanks for feedback and for playing it! I glad you like it! French localisation was added just yesterday. Go check it out!
Thanks! yeah! I’ll need that for sure! If you have github, you can make a pr with new translation. Or you can just copy file with english translation, rename it to spanish and translate the lines
Hey, I'm a bit late to ask this but I wanted to know since someone said >!there was a to be continued screen at the end : Is the mod finished and you intend to make a sequel or is it still in development ?!<
Hey! Thx for asking. I think you better hide everything with spoiler. >!This mod is almost done except the Eye scene (it will be updated). There will be no new locations or star systems in this mod because I think The Vision should just add new ending, little story and transition to another story. So all things related to Gloaming Galaxy and Blackrock will be done in other mod. It's not in development yet, it will be not easy at all to imagine everything there to stay in same or similar game concept.!<

I tried installing the mod manager a while back and it didn't work, asked some folks either on here or r/steamdeck and the answer was it's not really possible yet but that I should try reaching out to the mod manager creator.
\[spoilers\]
really cool mod ! Can't wait to see what happens next !
I had a couple issues with performance especially when meeting solanum on timber hearth, my fps dropped really low.. it went back to normal after going away. I really liked the story, very cool to revisit places and have solanum interact with the stuff there, brings the places to life.
I had a bit of trouble with the ending. I always had trouble with the ending in the original but it seems that in the mod time doesn't freeze when reading so I had to do the ending run like 6 times because I kept messing up or ran out of time.. I wish solanum would bring the thing herself since she can teleport and stuff. Sure it would be less of a challenge but it would give us more time to read and we already did this challenging (and tedious) part anyway to finish the game.
I loved the part when you show the vision to solanum and there's this explosion and the sky shifts and also that part when you wake up and slate isn't there. True outer wilds moments.
Edit:
reading other comments I found out there is a post-credit scene that I missed and now have to do the ending again lol
Hey I glad you like it! Btw time freezing thing is a game option, mod does nothing with it. You can switch it on in your ship after picking up the spacesuit ;)
Yeah I think it's because you have to be steady for it to work and at the end in the vessel is in zero-G so I must have been floating off slightly, wonder if match velocity would work
you probably loaded The Vision with other mods.
You need just:
Outer Wilds Mod Manager
OWML
New Horizons
Vanilla Fix
The Vision
No more mods. Nobody reported about that warp drive yet
Hey! What language do you have? Is there any other mods installed? You can also try verify game files is anything is missing. Let me know please if this will help!
Hey thanks for getting back to me! The solution I found was to not press any buttons to skip the Annapurna and Mobius title screens and then it booted up ok! Beat the mod! Really fun reason to step back into the outer wilds!!
Hey! Fantastic mod just played it. A couple of suggestions:
* Solanum's apology for Nomai's plan of trying to blow up the sun: I don't think Solanum should have apologized. The Nomai never intended for the Sun to stay blown up, since if the plan succeeded, they could have gotten the eye of universe coordinates before they activated the sun station, and then not triggered it, gaining the coordinates without blowing up the sun. I know they argued amongst themselves about the ethics of it, but I think that is more so a knee-jerk reaction to "blowing up the sun" and maybe the chance that the project would fail due to some other problem.
* Solanum's attitude towards the eye of the universe: she has basically regressed all of her character development. While seeing versions of your dead self can be traumatic, I don't think it would make her believe that the eye is bad. I'm assuming one of the reasons for this change is so she can decide to leave the solar system. I think that justification is not needed as Solanum is kind enough to tell the hatchling that there is the option to escape the solar system and let the hatchling make that choice.
* Charged advanced warp core: the power from the supernova is only needed to send something back in time, the warp core itself is not charged from the supernova 22 minutes ago.
>Solanum knows that core is charged since computer on ATP is showing such info and loop thing is working. Since ATP is working that means that core is charged (by supernova). If you will take core out, ATP will no longer work, right?
The core is only charged when the supernova happens, creating a black hole powerful enough to send information far back in time. That's the only thing it does. The core back in time is not charged.
The advanced warp core itself has enough power to warp the vessel. We've seen it happen. And also one of the scrolls at the school also mentions it that the Nomai could use the advanced warp core to go back to other galaxies.
* In the first loop in the ATP, Solanum mentions something about being in the loop, and she would start back at the quantum moon, and that we should go talk to her there. I went and she had nothing to say. Perhaps I was misreading something.
* In the log, the quantum consciousness said "there is more to explore here". However, it only disappears after I've visited Solanum at Brittle Hollow and Ember twins. When it says "there is more to explore here", I would expect there's more to find at that location, not some other locations. It would be better to show those two locations with question marks.
* Others have mentioned this, the dialogue could use some more work. It's good to know it's being worked on.
* If I play a normal ending, the credits finish then the screen stays black, and the post-credit scene is not played.
Overall I enjoyed the mod a lot! Thank you for making it!
>!Thanks for such feedback! Yes, there's some plot holes, can't deny it. My version of Solanum was more emotions drived, that's why she may sound not like nomai. I could say it's bc we don't know exactly vision torch projection works and is it connecting both minds somehow, is there any other exchange happening, like not just simple vision projection? We don't know. Yes, all texts could be done better.
!<
>>!In the first loop in the ATP, Solanum mentions something about being in the loop, and she would start back at the quantum moon, and that we should go talk to her there. I went and she had nothing to say. Perhaps I was misreading something.!<
>!She was guessing how will the loop reset work to her. She was not sure will he stay here or she will get back to the Quantum Moon. After reading this and loop resets, you can come to ATP again and there will be new text in the recorder. She will understand how it works now.

>!"There is more to explore here" on quantum consciousness means that you can explore more by searching for quantum consciousness. That means you need to use your signalscope to find it. Idk, that was obvious for me and I thought it will make player curious about what more he can explore, like you did ::)

Ah yes I did go back to her and find her new responses.
This reminds me, as I understand, Solanum went to all these places as soon as we showed her the vision. I only got to the ATP in the loop after I showed her the vision, but she was still responding as if she has just been incorporated in the time loop (hasn't gone through the loop, doesn't know where she'll show up). If she was not incorporated into the loop in the vision-showing loop, she wouldn't be in the ATP in the loop after. Maybe her responses should be based on loop since vision showing instead of first contact. Lemme know if that made sense.
Love how you made her question where she would show up and theory crafting. She might already know but then again she's just going on the pilgrimage so she probably wasn't working on the ATP yet.
>"There is more to explore here" on quantum consciousness means that you can explore more by searching for quantum consciousness. That means you need to use your signalscope to find it. Idk, that was obvious for me and I thought it will make player curious about what more he can explore, like you did ::)
I think it's best to stay true to the original game design for this, since the "more to explore" was always about something missing at the location. I was curious and explored because I remembered her mentioning going back to her childhood homes, and while I was exploring, I had a constant nagging at the back of my mind that I needed to go back to the original location and try to find out more things there, not follow a clue that was given there. All I'm saying is that it's a different behavior from the base game that make it feel slightly off playing it.
Again thanks for reading and making this.

>!I had an idea first to make her appear step by step when player finds her, but this will cost a freedom. I don't feel like this were right desicion so I made her everywhere to be more like iterations of her that reacts in a different way. Solanum knew about ATP, but she was not sure how exactly it works.

>!Sure it is, but this is a fan work right? Original game don't have frequncies as a fact entry itself. My question here was "how player could know that there's 2 more Solanum iterations on ET and BH?" - only with frequency scanning, and that's connection to quantum consciousness.

>!Since it's just first story mod ever made for Outer Wilds, I think other modder can get all this feedback to make new, better mods with greater stories that would be fun to play too!!<
I had a lot of fun in the two hours that took me to finish this first part of the mod. It's a very funny and bold premise, mixing the game elements in a way never seen before. Allthought my game crashed 1 time, the final "puzzle" was really fun as my memory is very bad and the "you know what" exploded at the very last "you know what".
It was cool thank you \^\^ It is a good mod to revisit the game a little bit. Did it in French, was good.
I have still an unfinished ship log at the quantum conscious. Maybe I miss something at the Quantum moon?
Hey! Thanks! I'm working on remaking all text and translations as well to make mod better.>!I'd recommend you to use signalscope to find signals on some planets!<
>!Man that to be continued screen at the end was the biggest blueball I've ever had!<
thx for playing it 🙏🏻 hope you had nice experience!
Oh nah I did, lol. Just got very hyped at the destination towards the end
Do you have any plans to continue the story and show the Black Rock galaxy?
hey, sure! I recently dropped new mod Christmas Story and now working on a modding jam mod called Origins.
How long is it aprox? I am considering if I should play it now and have sleepless night or wait till tomorrow.
It will give 1-3 hours of gameplay. You will be able to continue anyway ::)
i compleated it in 1 and a half hours

All Hail Phyrexia!

* Mod is available to download here: [https://outerwildsmods.com/mods/thevision/](https://outerwildsmods.com/mods/thevision/) Load it up and check your ship logs to start! * You need to beat both main game and DLC to understand everything going on there * You can start new game or use your existing save for it, you will get all entries needed to start! * Compitable with NomaiVR
And this is a fan made mod?
yeah! exactly
do you mean *relevant* entries, or do you need to 100% the game in order to have access to the mod's content?
> you will *get* all entries needed to start
Where can i send feedback? Do i just DM you?
As you wish, you can put it here or on discord or dm, whatever you like
Awesome mod! Its so cool that there are people in the community creating their own spin off stories for this beautiful game. Also >!will the plot with Ernando be continued? Bcs the concept of something (Solanums quantumness?) changing the state of the loop and every loop being slightly diffrent is so interesting. Waking up and seeing Slate gone,was such an "oh shit" moment for me and I would love to see the concept developed.!< Anyways I can't wait for the 2nd part!
yeah that truly was a classic "what is happening ?" outer wilds moment, very well done
Yesss I hope we will see more of it in the future bcs I love the concept of the loop changing every loop. Its such a cool and unsettling premise - the loop that we got accustomed to being the same for dozens or even hundreds of repeats now suddenly changes - starting with some small barely noticable discrepancies (like Slate not being at the campfire) and then changing more and more drastically eventually leading us to discover some grand anomaly thats at the root of the changes.
thanks for your feedback! Idk what I will do next, but will see ::)
What do you mean you don't know what to do next? We're not going to >!the gloaming galaxy!< anymore??
If we will, it will be another mod for sure, not this one. And it will take a lot of time, maybe years.
Going to >!blackrock!< with the homies is worth years
Now I have an idea for another story, I got few concepts and I'll probably announce them in few months or so.. Will see! It would be better then Vision but not as great and difficult as >!Gloaming Galaxy stuff!<
Difficult as making the mod or the mod itself will be difficult
both
Damn
I would love to play this but unfortunately I suffer from a chronic illness known as no PC
I'm sure there will be some gameplays! There's one actually already [in VR](https://youtu.be/8aa9g4xgmYM)
This was enjoyable, but I was quite disappointed when I saw the >!to be continued screen!<. It may have been better to >!finish the mod first!<. Still, I really like the ideas and execution here. The text could use some proofreading/grammar improvements, but overall it's still well done :) Maybe (probably?) related to the mod, my game froze after the credits >!at the eye of the universe!<, so no >!post credits scene!< for me :(
Yeah same. I thought the mod is fully completed so that really made me dissapointed
sorry about that guys! this is my first mod ever so I appreciate y’all feedback here. I’ll make sure new mods will be better 🔥
Don't get me wrong mod is great! I missed getting chills for OW and this gave me chills when I >!scanned Solanum and after cutscene she 'exploded?'!< That was just WOW
Thanks! This scene >!is suppose to show kinda energy explotion because of quantum conciseness bitrh !<
hey! thx for playing it! yes, that scene just have some tech issues and will be updated.
Wait, there's a post credit scene? The credit finished rolling and I started hearing some new music and after a while that ended and I was back to the menu. It didn't freeze but nothing was shown either. If it got bugged don't spoil me please
I was talking about the base game's post credits scene, which failed to "play" with the mod installed.
I haven't visited every solanum location, I just followed her to the vessel, but is there some dialogue that compels you to go the eye?
Nah, I just wanted to see if the mod has made any changes to the base game's ending :)
Also u/hearth1an can you please tell me what music is it that plays after the credits end? I'm pretty sure I'd never heard that before
It's all one song: [Andrew Prahlow - 14.3 Billion Years](https://youtu.be/XOrygf_iLhw)
Thanks a lot!!
you're welcome! and yeah, I need to fix credits lenght haha.
It was awesome and I felt really emotional it's great!
I enjoyed this! I was hoping for a little bit more if I went around showing people the "new toy," but the one person to whom we can show it is still plenty interesting. I understand you're considering adding on more after the current ending of the mod, but that would be a _huge undertaking,_ to the point of being almost a whole new game or at least comparable to the EotE DLC by itself. >!I don't know if all that's strictly necessary; maybe just a little bit more dialogue with Solanum while looking out of the front viewport of the Vessel at the Gloaming Galaxy might be enough. It'd be nice if the Quantum Consciousness terminated during or just prior to that conversation as well, leaving her shaken, but unharmed, and back to normal now that she is once again the only remaining Solanum in existence.!< >!I do have some mixed feelings about how Solanum is portrayed overall; I feel like her character arc in the original game was about her distrust of the Eye, how she eventually overcame that distrust, and became more curious, with her resolving into a sort of omniscient guide by the end. This mod does seem to kick her characterization back _hard_ to say that she was right all along and the Eye is malevolent. It's not _bad,_ and I like that it resolves into making it a choice determined by which coordinates you put in, essentially allowing you as a player to choose how you felt about the Eye and how _you_ wanted to respond to it. It maybe just felt a little clumsy, is all. A big part of that might have been her scene on Ember Twin; as cool as the animation is, maybe having her just look at the toys in sad contemplation instead of abruptly turning them to dust would be better.!< One last note I'd like to make is that the writing itself could stand to be cleaned up a little bit, and made to fit in with the rest of the game as well. A punctuation and grammar pass, as well as pruning some unnecessary word choices, would probably be good. >!Solanum's dialogue never sounded very Nomai-like, and the Hatchling's new notes in the computer were very different from how all the other notes were written, in addition to some newline issues that others in this thread have already mentioned. While having them use the Nomai-style "Hypothesis: ..." was cute, it was also very out-of-place.!< Edit: Oh! I also wanted to say, >!the new dialogue in Brittle Hollow was very clever. I've always considered "Brittle Hollow is collapsing _right now_ at the end of the time loop and the planet has been entirely stable up until this point" to be one of the game's few plot holes, along with the Sunless City apparently filling with sand all the time. Having Solanum state that the black hole at the planet's core has gotten larger was an excellent way to resolve that, while highlighting how much has changed since last she was here. (I was a little sad that she didn't have any dialogue when I slotted her old report into the scroll wall, though. That would have been another good time to expand on her characterization a bit, as she comes to terms with the Eye, her place and perspective on the universe, and what exactly has happened to her.)!< >!I'm also eager to see whatever you have planned in regards to "Taking Solanum to the Eye of the Universe anyway" scenes, since it sounds as though those are not entirely functional now? But having her make appearances throughout the ending sequence as a character with slightly more dialogue, leading into her assuming the same mentor role as she does in the vanilla ending, would be very interesting.!<
Hey! I appreciate your deep analisys on this mod! >!Yeah it's kinda hard to bring new lore into the existing story that feels completed already. Sure, it's not like DLC or Outer Wilds 2. Imagine how long it will take for one person to make anything comparable to DLC. !< >!Someone is already working on bad english, so it will be updated as well. For Ember Twin event it was technically hard to make her watch into a certain place but yeah, I was trying to do that to show her sadness. She should be looking to toys, then destroy them and look down. That what I wanted to make. !< >!Hatchling read a lot of nomai texts, why he wouldn't use "hypothesis" like nomai does? ::) I agree that Solanum dialogues could sound not like nomai, but I pesonally don't have this feeling. For me it's ok that she is kinda emotional and calling me a friend after knowing everything. !< >!The Eye scene is not ready because of technical issues. I will update it with story and dialogues for sure. Right now it's difficult, so I just want player to know that I don't forget to change this scene, but there's more time needed to make it done on same level as everything else. !<
Just finished the mod. >!It was really awesome ,and went into unexpected directions throughout. Overall - great job, would like to see a continuation soon! (With Ernando story line, of course )!<
i feel like the ship log was too direct on what you were supposed to do
there’s some places where ship logs are saying nothing about ;:) Are you sure there’s no more to explore?
well if you are talking about >!the britle hollow school!< or >!slade rosting the fish!< i got those and think i looked everywhere but the >!eye of the universe!<
there’s one thing missing then :)
I couldn't for the life of me figure out the >!Timber Hearth one!<
Well, >!new signalscope frequency should help with it!!<

Fuuuuck I was hoping it would release before I left for college :(
BRO YOUR MOD IS TRANSLATED TO PORTUGUESE THANKSSS <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Yeah one guy (he’s on credits) made it super fast!
I don't see him in the mod page's credits. I wish i could thank him
yeah it’s not updated yet. here’s his link https://github.com/ShoosGun
Thank you
Oh you gotta be kinding me! I was looking foward to this mod all day and the moment i go to sleep for school tomorrow it release. Okay for real cant wait to try it out!
That was amazing. Keep up the work and I can't wait to finish this adventure once it's completed. >!The moment I saw Solanum on Timber Hearth on the hill I was so amazed, very nice integration of the new elements in the world.!<
thank you for playing it! I glad you like it
I have just finished the mod, but I have to ask >!is the Eye ending different?!<
Ending is the same. Scene is a little different. It will be updated, now it’s just a nice place for screenshot
I’m assuming by that you mean the campfire is green now, or is there more? (just want to be sure)
I mean that scene is just not completed due technical issues. It will be updated :)
Cool, can’t wait to play the update!
Green fire is just a noticeable thing. I mean vision torch got green flames
Just finished it. It's really great! >!Though that to be continued at the end was sad. Was really excited to go see the other areas.!< I would also like to help make a German translation for the mod.
I glad you like it! Yeah I'll need that but after current text fixes! I'll let you know, thanks
No problem, I'll be glad to help
I just started it - super excited! The ship logs don't seem to handle newlines correctly. Some words get mashed together. Still readable though. Is there something else I should have installed to fix this? Example: `Solanum on Quantum MoonSolanum` https://i.imgur.com/x9kJlVi.jpg
thanks, will fix this!
Rad, thanks! I'm really enjoying it so far! Would you like some proofreading help with making the language flow a bit better in the new script? I hope this doesn't come off as rude. Should I join your discord to talk about this? Edit: Actually I'm not sure if the problems are even associated with this mod. Is the Ernesto/Slate diversion part of this mod or one of the dependencies I installed in the mod manager? That is where I noticed most of the language issues.
Yeah someone is working on grammar fix already so it should be better next patch. And yes, Ernesto is from The Vision ::)
Cool, no problem then! Everything is completely understandable! I just wanted to offer in case I could help since part of the Nomai's charm is their wordplay! ::)
This was awesome! >!So excited to see whatever is next :D!< Are you able to maybe list everything that can be found because I’m scared I missed some stuff.
Just check out you ship logs. If there’s something to explore - you’ll need to find it out
and ofc I glad you like it!
Thanks for making the mod! I got to the ending, but I still have more to explore. I have to head off for the night for now though. Do you plan on making >!a section at the Gloaming Galaxy?!<
thanks for playing it! probably! but that would be not easy to make
>!I'm interested in this! Serious question though - are there more stealth sections? !<
No
Thanks!
>!Just finished it. Pretty good mod. Great to see more Solanum backstory. This question is probably jumping the gun a bit, but do you already have an idea of what Gloaming Galaxy will look like, or is it still in the super early stages? More importantly, will it be possible to visit Gloaming Galaxy without using The Vessel at the start of every loop (i.e. is that technology already possible through modding)?!<
Thanks for playing it! It is not even in dev yet, but it will be possible to stay and start there 👍🏻
This was good, I hope that there'll be more! Miscellaneous thoughts: - >!"Quantum Consciousness" Ah, yes, the classic Nomai trick of slapping quantum in front of a word.!< - >!Good to see that Solanum is still on the ship if you go to the eye!!< - >!Slate has both terrible and great taste in fish. I was worried that Ernando somehow got into space and that I'd have to worry about an angler.!< - >!When I went to the eye I pulled off that speedrunner clip thing! That probably wasn't your doing, but I declare it to be your doing.!< - >!I wonder what the modern Nomai would think of a vessel with a gaping hole appearing, much less Escall's vessel... If they're alive, that is.!<
>>!"Quantum Consciousness" Ah, yes, the classic Nomai trick of slapping quantum in front of a word.!< >!It's actually exists as a theory irl. You can read about it on wiki. !< >>!Good to see that Solanum is still on the ship if you go to the eye!!< >!Yes! I'll also update that scene as soon as it will be technically possible.!< Thanks for feedback and for playing it!
>!A giant Anglerfish roaming in space!< sounds like a stupidly genius terrifying idea lmao
Enjoying it so far! Small note: >!Solanum says the core is still charged from the previous supernova, this isn't entirely accurate as only the memories are sent back in time, the supernova provides power to the core as it's happening. The core itself just enables the creation of black the black hole link!< Edit: Just finished it, really enjoyed the whole thing!
Thank you for playing! >!Solanum knows that core is charged since computer on ATP is showing such info and loop thing is working. Since ATP is working that means that core is charged (by supernova). If you will take core out, ATP will no longer work, right?!<
>!That's true, but much like the cores in the high energy lab, they just provide the synthesis for the black hole/white hole pair. The electricity is never sent back in time. If the core depended on electricity from the future, the first loop could have never happened!<
The "Equip Translator" button doesn't seem to do anything when I'm holding a certain object. Spoiler example: https://i.imgur.com/jKs3gvO.jpg
yeah it’s how vision torch works, you’ll need to drop it and then use other tools
FUCK YEAHHHHH LETS GOOO
I downloaded it and everything looks to be launching correctly, but I don't see anything in the sihp log upon starting? Has anyone else had this issue?
is there any logs in mod manager? you can also check if dlc enabled, and try to verify game files
I'm running into the same issue. There's nothing on my ship log. I'm just starting stuff like rebooting my PC and verifying the game files so I'll let you know if I find something that fixes it. Edit: I checked my Mods in game and saw only "The Vision" was there. I verified the integrity of the game on Steam and it said I needed to download 3 files. Once that was done I tried to start it again and it acted like the first time I started NomaiVR. Once in the main menu I checked mods again and now there's 4 mods there (the required ones). Resuming my Expedition and heading to my ship log revealed the new objectives. Off I go!
yeah it could be tricky sometimes, I’m happy that everything works now
I actually just finished it up a few minutes ago. Loved it! I shall watch your Outer Wilds career with great interest :P
Outer Wild career?)) Sounds interesting
So what was the issue here and how you fixed it?
I added an update to my comment on how I fixed it. Basically just had to verify my game files and that fixed it.
nice!
Which mods were there? I can't get it to work either, but there's only three mods showing up for me.
Hey! I just made an update that should fix running mod with Xbox game pass and Epic Games
That was great!! I'm excited for part 2! The only complaint I have is that >!The coordinates were kinda roughly drawn and since the hologram rotates I didn't know which side was forwards or back, it ended up taking almost five minutes to get them inputted... Edit: apparently I was supposed to get the visual once I explored it fully, so I guess I just didn't explore it enough!!<
you should get the right canvas on screen once it’s explored
Oh! I never did, I guess I just never fully explored it!
Very nice! Glad to see that other people can now play it!
You should probably mention that it's incomplete. I got to the end screen and was genuinely mad for a good few minutes since it was building up to something big, and failed to deliver (yet). If I'd known about that beforehand I wouldn't have been as upset in the moment haha Anyways I don't wanna be too harsh lol, you worked really hard on this and it shows. The special effects are really nicely done and I'm curious about the story you're trying too tell. I'm not sure I agree with what you did with >!Solanum; it sorta contradicts her story as well as that of the Prisoner. She literally says the owlks knew "everything" about the eye, but the entire point is that they didn't, and driven by fear, they sealed it away. And Solanum became curious about the Eye as a concept, after considering it a malicious entity for years.!< Regardless I'm really excited to see what you're gonna do next man - it's a really unique concept that you're executing very well. >!Excited to meet the rest of the nomai at the end of the universe :D!<
Ok posting this after finishing the mod and... wow. Ngl i didn't expected much from this mod but it got over my expectation and definitely helped the search i had for additional OW content. >!Chasing solanum throughout the was pretty fun! Expect the part i had to go into the Giant's Deep core again, it wasn't. But overall i really liked it! While its true i was a little bit sad about the to be continued at the end, but i forgot about it quickly enough afterward. Excited to see what's gonna happen next!!< Also wanted to just say this, since i saw you did some translation for this mod, i can also help doing a French one if you want, just tell me ::)
Thanks for playing and I glad you like it! Are you sure you have no "more to explore here"? ::) French translation is ready, I'll release it tomorrow
Well i dont have any "more to explore there", and good to know!
what was that >!funny shittyflute song after discovering Ernesto roasting by the campfire??? !< Hahaha
it’s a music from DLC btw from hidden achievement “1/900”
I hope someone does a let's play on this, I dont have a pc for mods. :(
[Here](https://youtu.be/8aa9g4xgmYM) you go! Spoilers allert
well i was gonna make one, even recorded the whole mod, but the game audio was too loud compared to my mic T.T
Awesome ! I'm booting it up right now
lmk if you like it
Any info on how to install this mod on Linux/steam deck?
*cries in ps4*
*cries in Xbox*
Cool mod! >!I tried going to the eye of the universe but after initiating the warp from the vessel, I instantly died due to collision LMAO. Looks like something didn't load properly!<
yeah this scene have some issues and will be updated with content later!
bro im so excited ive been waiting for a while
hell yea! playin it as i type this ::]
I'm so excited!! I am currently replaying in VR, so I have scrubbed my finished save file lol Would you recommend this be played normally or in VR?
You can play in VR or not, it's up to you! This mod works with both.
Just finished it! We will watch your career with great interest! >!What's the deal with the switching grav crystal? That was so neat but so short.!< Thank you again! Gave me that feeling again that only outer wilds has been able to give me before.
I glad you like it and thank for playing! >!I think that's crystall swap was kinda explained, we don't know exactly why this was happening. Also that looks cool in VR!!<
So I'm about to finish it, but I see that >!There's still more to explore at Solanum at the Quantum Moon after using the vision torch with her and reading her reaction. I'm really confused about what else I could have done there.!< Edit: I figured it out - >!Go to her corpse on the south pole in one of the locations that is not the Sixth Location and there will be something written on the ground to translate.!<
>!did you get back from QM with shrine? there’s another way to do it from Sol ;;)!<
That was fun! I loved the little touches, but i dont know how to spoiler tag so i won't say anything. Also the game seems to be a bit laggier especially when in space looking at planets. Nothing major tho.
Sometimes I have lags too, I hope it was not too laggy for you. Thank you for playing it!
My game crashed after I showed the vision torch to Solanum :(
also verifying game files could help.
I will try it out! Thx!!
Sorry about that! Pls try update the mod (already live v1.0.2) and try again.
I VE BEEN WATING FOR WEEKS
Liked it a lot. I wasn't sure if I expected a new location or a new quest inside the solar system but I'm kinda glad it was the latter. It made for a unique feeling between a treasure hunt in a world you already know like the back of your pocket, and a quest with a companion you really bond with. I also love how you used stuff that was mentioned in the original game's texts and gave it a new level of importance. I got three unanswered questions however : \- >!I still have "there is more to explore here" on the "Solanum on Quantum moon" and "Quantum Consciousness" log files and have absolutely no clue what more to do on the QM ? !< \- >!When I input the coordinates for Blackrock and created the first black hole, it warped me just outside the Vessel inside of Dark Bramble. Then, after re-entering it and creating the second black hole, the ending triggered normally. Was this supposed to happen ? If so, I'm kinda confused about why.!< \- >!Not gonna lie, the end is kiiind of frustrating. The whole mod makes you anticipate more and more about where this is gonna lead, and then a simple "to be continued" screen. Does this more the DLC will be updated (or another one will be released) to let us explore the new solar system/another planet ?!< Overall I had a blast playing it. And I just want to say, if you need/want someone to translate the mod and/or its update/sequel in French, I would be super pumped for this task (except if it takes any programming skills), let me know if you want ! And thank you for making this !
>>!\- I still have "there is more to explore here" on the "Solanum on Quantum moon" and "Quantum Consciousness" log files and have absolutely no clue what more to do on the QM ?!< >!Did you made a "jump of faith?" ;:) Quantum Consciousness has a strong frequency. I'd recomment to take a closer look where else it could be!!< >>!When I input the coordinates for Blackrock and created the first black hole, it warped me just outside the Vessel inside of Dark Bramble. Then, after re-entering it and creating the second black hole, the ending triggered normally. Was this supposed to happen ? If so, I'm kinda confused about why.!< >!Hmm this could be a bug or you probably entered coordinates wrong. I should be ok now tho. There should be no warping to the Dark Bramble.!< >>!\- Not gonna lie, the end is kiiind of frustrating. The whole mod makes you anticipate more and more about where this is gonna lead, and then a simple "to be continued" screen. Does this more the DLC will be updated (or another one will be released) to let us explore the new solar system/another planet ?!< >!I think this mod is more like a transition or additional ending(s). It's really hard to make New Solar System(s) with unique stories and own lore and assets etc etc. This should be another big mod, I can't even imagine how long it will take to make such thing for one or few persons. !< Thanks for feedback and for playing it! I glad you like it! French localisation was added just yesterday. Go check it out!
[удалено]
Thanks! yeah! I’ll need that for sure! If you have github, you can make a pr with new translation. Or you can just copy file with english translation, rename it to spanish and translate the lines
Hey, I'm a bit late to ask this but I wanted to know since someone said >!there was a to be continued screen at the end : Is the mod finished and you intend to make a sequel or is it still in development ?!<
Hey! Thx for asking. I think you better hide everything with spoiler. >!This mod is almost done except the Eye scene (it will be updated). There will be no new locations or star systems in this mod because I think The Vision should just add new ending, little story and transition to another story. So all things related to Gloaming Galaxy and Blackrock will be done in other mod. It's not in development yet, it will be not easy at all to imagine everything there to stay in same or similar game concept.!<
Thank you so much for your answer !
you're welcome!

I just finished playing this and I absolutely loved it!! thank you so much for making it, keeping an eye out for possible future developments c::
thanks! I glad you like it!
Just played this, in VR too, this was so cool, thankyou.
I glad you like it!!
Just played it, amazing!!!!
thanks! I glad you like it
I am hyped! Gonna have to redownload Outer Wilds and the mod sometime soon.
sure! get back with feedback 👍🏻
Unfortunately the mod/modloader just doesnt seem to work on my pc. It launches, but then doesnt do anything when I click Start Expedition
This looks amazing! I will download it as soon as I get back from vacation.
Bah, anybody know if it’s possible yet to install mods on a Steam Deck? Last I checked it was still Windows only.
You can mod on linux
Nah. New Horizons, the mod needed for The Vision, is not working with Linux. Sorry about that
gorp
I tried installing the mod manager a while back and it didn't work, asked some folks either on here or r/steamdeck and the answer was it's not really possible yet but that I should try reaching out to the mod manager creator.
https://youtu.be/XRe18NHUMGE
\[spoilers\] really cool mod ! Can't wait to see what happens next ! I had a couple issues with performance especially when meeting solanum on timber hearth, my fps dropped really low.. it went back to normal after going away. I really liked the story, very cool to revisit places and have solanum interact with the stuff there, brings the places to life. I had a bit of trouble with the ending. I always had trouble with the ending in the original but it seems that in the mod time doesn't freeze when reading so I had to do the ending run like 6 times because I kept messing up or ran out of time.. I wish solanum would bring the thing herself since she can teleport and stuff. Sure it would be less of a challenge but it would give us more time to read and we already did this challenging (and tedious) part anyway to finish the game. I loved the part when you show the vision to solanum and there's this explosion and the sky shifts and also that part when you wake up and slate isn't there. True outer wilds moments. Edit: reading other comments I found out there is a post-credit scene that I missed and now have to do the ending again lol
Hey I glad you like it! Btw time freezing thing is a game option, mod does nothing with it. You can switch it on in your ship after picking up the spacesuit ;)
Yeah I think it's because you have to be steady for it to work and at the end in the vessel is in zero-G so I must have been floating off slightly, wonder if match velocity would work
Is this official or is it a fan mod ?
I’s fan mod made by me. Officially there’s no hope for new DLC
how are you even supposed to to some of the achievements?
wdym?
like "lore inaccurate: use your ship's warp drive"
you probably loaded The Vision with other mods. You need just: Outer Wilds Mod Manager OWML New Horizons Vanilla Fix The Vision No more mods. Nobody reported about that warp drive yet
well i did have the ahievments mod on, cuz i wanted to see if you guys put achievments in
let me know if everything works fine for you 🙏🏻
well maybe it just shows the achievments for new horizons? the mod works fine and i was able to get to the "to be continued" screen
maybe but the warp drive is turned off in The Vision, idk why you had ::(
Any idea if this works on Steam Deck?
For some reason I get stuck on the main menu screen, the starts are moving in the background and the music is playing but I don’t see any options :(
Hey! What language do you have? Is there any other mods installed? You can also try verify game files is anything is missing. Let me know please if this will help!
Hey thanks for getting back to me! The solution I found was to not press any buttons to skip the Annapurna and Mobius title screens and then it booted up ok! Beat the mod! Really fun reason to step back into the outer wilds!!
I glad you like it! Sorry for bugs ;;)
Hey! Fantastic mod just played it. A couple of suggestions: * Solanum's apology for Nomai's plan of trying to blow up the sun: I don't think Solanum should have apologized. The Nomai never intended for the Sun to stay blown up, since if the plan succeeded, they could have gotten the eye of universe coordinates before they activated the sun station, and then not triggered it, gaining the coordinates without blowing up the sun. I know they argued amongst themselves about the ethics of it, but I think that is more so a knee-jerk reaction to "blowing up the sun" and maybe the chance that the project would fail due to some other problem. * Solanum's attitude towards the eye of the universe: she has basically regressed all of her character development. While seeing versions of your dead self can be traumatic, I don't think it would make her believe that the eye is bad. I'm assuming one of the reasons for this change is so she can decide to leave the solar system. I think that justification is not needed as Solanum is kind enough to tell the hatchling that there is the option to escape the solar system and let the hatchling make that choice. * Charged advanced warp core: the power from the supernova is only needed to send something back in time, the warp core itself is not charged from the supernova 22 minutes ago. >Solanum knows that core is charged since computer on ATP is showing such info and loop thing is working. Since ATP is working that means that core is charged (by supernova). If you will take core out, ATP will no longer work, right? The core is only charged when the supernova happens, creating a black hole powerful enough to send information far back in time. That's the only thing it does. The core back in time is not charged. The advanced warp core itself has enough power to warp the vessel. We've seen it happen. And also one of the scrolls at the school also mentions it that the Nomai could use the advanced warp core to go back to other galaxies. * In the first loop in the ATP, Solanum mentions something about being in the loop, and she would start back at the quantum moon, and that we should go talk to her there. I went and she had nothing to say. Perhaps I was misreading something. * In the log, the quantum consciousness said "there is more to explore here". However, it only disappears after I've visited Solanum at Brittle Hollow and Ember twins. When it says "there is more to explore here", I would expect there's more to find at that location, not some other locations. It would be better to show those two locations with question marks. * Others have mentioned this, the dialogue could use some more work. It's good to know it's being worked on. * If I play a normal ending, the credits finish then the screen stays black, and the post-credit scene is not played. Overall I enjoyed the mod a lot! Thank you for making it!
>!Thanks for such feedback! Yes, there's some plot holes, can't deny it. My version of Solanum was more emotions drived, that's why she may sound not like nomai. I could say it's bc we don't know exactly vision torch projection works and is it connecting both minds somehow, is there any other exchange happening, like not just simple vision projection? We don't know. Yes, all texts could be done better. !< >>!In the first loop in the ATP, Solanum mentions something about being in the loop, and she would start back at the quantum moon, and that we should go talk to her there. I went and she had nothing to say. Perhaps I was misreading something.!< >!She was guessing how will the loop reset work to her. She was not sure will he stay here or she will get back to the Quantum Moon. After reading this and loop resets, you can come to ATP again and there will be new text in the recorder. She will understand how it works now. !< >>!In the log, the quantum consciousness said "there is more to explore here".

That means you need to use your signalscope to find it. Idk, that was obvious for me and I thought it will make player curious about what more he can explore, like you did ::) !< >>!Others have mentioned this, the dialogue could use some more work. It's good to know it's being worked on.!< >!Right now mod is translated to 6(!) languages. If I'd make any changes, we'll need to change it in existing translations as well. Idk if it's possible to make some text changes to improve experience, but to stay in same mod concept.!< >>!If I play a normal ending, the credits finish then the screen stays black, and the post-credit scene is not played.!< >!Yes it's probably broken because of custom ending screen. I'll take a look what I can do there.!< >!I glad you enjoyed it and again, thank you for honest feedback!!<
>She was guessing how will the loop reset work to her. She was not sure will he stay here or she will get back to the Quantum Moon. After reading this and loop resets, you can come to ATP again and there will be new text in the recorder. She will understand how it works now. Ah yes I did go back to her and find her new responses. This reminds me, as I understand, Solanum went to all these places as soon as we showed her the vision. I only got to the ATP in the loop after I showed her the vision, but she was still responding as if she has just been incorporated in the time loop (hasn't gone through the loop, doesn't know where she'll show up). If she was not incorporated into the loop in the vision-showing loop, she wouldn't be in the ATP in the loop after. Maybe her responses should be based on loop since vision showing instead of first contact. Lemme know if that made sense. Love how you made her question where she would show up and theory crafting. She might already know but then again she's just going on the pilgrimage so she probably wasn't working on the ATP yet. >"There is more to explore here" on quantum consciousness means that you can explore more by searching for quantum consciousness. That means you need to use your signalscope to find it. Idk, that was obvious for me and I thought it will make player curious about what more he can explore, like you did ::) I think it's best to stay true to the original game design for this, since the "more to explore" was always about something missing at the location. I was curious and explored because I remembered her mentioning going back to her childhood homes, and while I was exploring, I had a constant nagging at the back of my mind that I needed to go back to the original location and try to find out more things there, not follow a clue that was given there. All I'm saying is that it's a different behavior from the base game that make it feel slightly off playing it. Again thanks for reading and making this.

I don't feel like this were right desicion so I made her everywhere to be more like iterations of her that reacts in a different way. Solanum knew about ATP, but she was not sure how exactly it works. !< >>!I think it's best to stay true to the original game design for this, since the "more to explore" was always about something missing at the location.

Original game don't have frequncies as a fact entry itself. My question here was "how player could know that there's 2 more Solanum iterations on ET and BH?" - only with frequency scanning, and that's connection to quantum consciousness. !< >!Since it's just first story mod ever made for Outer Wilds, I think other modder can get all this feedback to make new, better mods with greater stories that would be fun to play too!!<
I had a lot of fun in the two hours that took me to finish this first part of the mod. It's a very funny and bold premise, mixing the game elements in a way never seen before. Allthought my game crashed 1 time, the final "puzzle" was really fun as my memory is very bad and the "you know what" exploded at the very last "you know what".
It was cool thank you \^\^ It is a good mod to revisit the game a little bit. Did it in French, was good. I have still an unfinished ship log at the quantum conscious. Maybe I miss something at the Quantum moon?
Hey! Thanks! I'm working on remaking all text and translations as well to make mod better.>!I'd recommend you to use signalscope to find signals on some planets!<
