Outer Wilds Update 1.1.13!

[@thooy101]

Game: *Whole message of the game is to never fear the unknown and embrace the circle of life* Me: I DON'T WANNA SEE YOU GO!!!!

[@magma_fire_bagwan]

We're all somewhat behaving like Owlks, but that's okay for now.

[@juneBug412]

i'm personally quite glad they added that lil painting made by the prisoner. it confirms my thoughts on the prisoner's motives; that they understood what the eye was for, and knew that attemptin to silence it was wrong to do. i think it might better motivate the player to not only find who made the painting, but also provide more of a solid motive than "well the universe is ending anyways, let's check it out!" to traveling to the eye

[@LB_]

Wow, being able to view slide reels again in the ship log is awesome, I've seen a lot of playthroughs where people forgot what they were doing due to forgetting what was in a slide reel they previously viewed.

[@cbandit7715]

That's actually insane.

[@swiftcreations]

It’s cool but I actually enjoyed going back and watching the reels again. It made it more impactful for me

[@LB_]

@@swiftcreations Even with the ones that are very difficult to get to such as the Forbidden Archives?

[@swiftcreations]

@@LB_ Yes, I found it very fun to go back there

[@LB_]

@@swiftcreations You're in the minority then. Most people would be very frustrated at having to re-do it, and since the reason for re-doing it is that they forgot the contents of the slide reel, it likely means they can't use the bypass shortcuts.

[@dgarro]

Thank you for the shout-out! A little sad about obsoleting my Ship Log Slide Reel Player mod but definitely happy that now more people could use this feature! I have plans to re-release the mod as "Ship Log Slide Reel Player Plus" to include all the features that the mod had but the official implementation doesn't have (like changing slides manually, color, music, show reels/visions that the official player is missing), some people could find it useful

[@TheLoreExplorer]

You deserved both of them!

[@_WeDontKnow_]

the reason they made it black and white with no music is to differ from the actual experience of seeing the slide for the first time. it's better that way in terms of an experience the purpose behind the mod should be to make the gameplay experience better, and it literally made it into the game lol. that should be the goal. it seems you're more concerned with having exclusive features the game doesn't have, and getting credit for it

[@dgarro]

That's not true at all, I want the game to be at its best possible state for all, that's why patches make me happy even for little tweaks like the material of pots that so few people would appreciate and I contact Mobius if I see things that could be improved. I actually wanted this feature to be officially implemented, because it seemed many players were frustrated without it. My only concern was that it could be considered a little "overpowered" for some others, although making it black and white, reproduce automatically, etc., could be a good trade off for that and I'm glad they went that route. I would probably have done something similar if I had to implement this as an official feature instead of a mod. Yes, I was still sad to put my mod down and Mobius didn't even acknowledged it to me with an email or something, I have some ego like most humans, but that doesn't mean that I would put my ego above the game and the player's enjoyment, I'm sorry if I gave you that impression. I also understand that this was a heavily requested feature and maybe Mobius didn't even know of my mod existence, so I can't be "angry" at them about it. That's why Lore's shout-out to myself and the mod made me happy.

[@deskrabbit2190]

I hope this means Mobius will begin work on whatever their next game is going to be. Whether it's some kind of OW sequel or spiritual successor or something completely different, I'm here for it.

[@magma_fire_bagwan]

Wherever Mobius goes, I'll likely be just behind. They've more than earned my adoration because of this wonderful space game

[@seraslain962]

I'd personally have fun with something that has more direct Interstellar inspirations than even Outer Wilds. Old-timey space-sim Fighter controls, the terrifying scale and power of the universe, a cool story... It's not going to happen in all likelihood, but I'd have fun gliding down from the upper atmosphere onto the surface of a cool ice planet, or even surfing an ocean planet with a smaller craft.

[@OnlyNeedJuan]

We still have the Switch Port supposedly coming, though I, at this point, was under the impression that the hardware simply didn't cut it.

[@rechtebanana]

I think they added those lines to the stranger tracker because many people didn't realize they were looking at the range of the supernova, those lines suggest a round explosion that goes off-screen.

[@fraghetti]

"echo of the isle no longer requires photographic memory" that was literaly my biggest complaint! i had no idea they were actually working on a patch. now i can get back to playing again. so excited to see all the small changes. LOVE IT

The flower also looks a lot like the Eye itself!

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Yep! Thats what its meant to be depicting! So beautiful imo!

[@FearlessGamer27]

Honestly, the new mural is probably the coolest thing they have added in this update. I low key want a poster or a shirt of that. It is beautiful.

I recently saw outer wilds updating on steam, it was 1,2GB so i knew it had to be big. Instantly hoped ingame to check out all the changes. I believe i saw most but this will help with what i've missed, as the patch notes are delightfully cryptic This will be the last mayor patch for outer wilds so after this no more new content other than mods :( I'm having trouble coping with this, luckily I can watch KZbin playthroughs to fill the void in my heart.

"Swapped the material on certain plant pots for historical accuracy" means pots in the Vessel are the same metallic texture used in the Vessel itself, but other pots are the beige material that looks more like pottery. Didn't know if you noticed but I thought it was neat and you didn't mention it so I thought I'd say it here.

[@TheLoreExplorer]

I had not noticed that. Thanks for letting me know!

[@dgarro]

@@TheLoreExplorer Yes, this little thing was one of my favorite changes of the update, I actually sent an email to Mobius about that historical inconsistency but I was still surprised by the change. They also fixed another issue I reported them, the Nomai text wall in the Vessel with messages from modern Nomai had orange text in Dark Bramble but purple (or blue) in the Eye (it was previously purple/blue in both scenes but then fixed only the Dark Bramble one in an older patch), now is orange in both!

[@Lavie_Azure]

Spoiler I thought the sixth location sending you back to Timber Hearth's location was an intentional thing, it kinda foreshadows the ending

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Yes. But not if you have an image of the 6th location. That breaks the rules of quantum imaging.

[@quantumblauthor7300]

Aw I have a screenshot of solanum alive on my scout as I'm standing by her corpse

[@MelodicaDude]

I think the owelks cutting off the vision is a neat symbolism of them rejecting the eye's cycle, but i like to interpret it maybe a little differently. The Prisoner made contact with the eye before anyone else, and i think it maybe be reasonable to assume that they learned what the eye does in their epiphany vision from it. They even make the same face as the other Owelks when they commune with the eye. In a way, it could be that the other Owelks felt betrayed not only by the eye, but the idea that The Prisoner kept the info about the eye's sacrificial nature a secret from them. Even if The Prisoner DIDNT know the true nature of the eye, the other owelks would still think they knew. I think that adds more justification to why they punished the prisoner in the way they did. It's not just "you lead us here" but "you knew, didnt you, betrayer"

[@silverhammermba]

I don't think there's any evidence in the game that the Prisoner is the one who led them there. The Stranger looks like a generation ship to me (what with all of the family portraits) so I think it was simply that they weren't able to understands the eye's true nature until after they arrived. And the Prisoner was the only one who still saw it as a good thing.

[@EMAbreuLucas]

Ohh the slide reels are too useful! Even though EotE was released so long ago (to game standards) they are still updating it. It shows how much Mobius care about the community! Thanks for sharing those with us, Lore Explorer!

[@optionalopinionworld]

It's sad to see that this is the last update to one of the best games ever, but here it is. Thank you for every video because no other person out there did this for us. Was wondering if you planned on possibly exploring other puzzle/story games with puzzles or great stories. You break down everything in such a good manner.

[@TheLoreExplorer]

There is actually still some outer wilds to cover. But yes. Once I run out of stuff Ill try to cover other things. Maybe even before then. So many people have asked me to buy and play sable that I finally broke. And I have to say the initial experience was compelling. But honestly , now that Ive done a smaller indie game. I may be able to cover larger games in the light they deserve as well. Ill have to think on it. But , short answer. Yes!

[@mike777881]

I really hope this being the last major update means that Mobius digital is focusing on a new game, whether its another expansion to outer wilds or something entirely separate.

[@TheKaratejesus]

You're so dedicated to this game, it's really endearing. I'm glad everyone here was able to share in such a wonderful experience like Outer Wilds. Truly a treasure of modern games. Proof games are art.

[@crozmo25]

Again, it's amazing how much effort developers put into this game even after release to make sure we understand full story of the universe that is surrounding 3 completely different species and their story. I just hope they put another bigger update for Outer Wilds and add more to the story because I really think this could be something special. As an Outer Wilds youtuber myself I just love to see and explore new things every update, so this is a big thumbs up for Mobius 👍.

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Nope. "This is their last big planned update". The story of the game seems to be finished. Hopefully the story of the universe continues.

[@Late0NightPC]

Another thing I like about the addition of the Prisoner's painting, is that it further shows the contrast the strangers have with the Nomai that the DLC explores. Both races largely started from the same point, a curiosity about the Eye of the Universe and a desire to learn more about it, but what makes the Nomai "good" and the Strangers "not good" is the path they took from there. The Nomai were interested, and came up with their own speculation, but didn't let those theories become assumptions and stayed open to accepting the Eye for whatever it was based on their research. The Strangers on the other hand assumed the Eye would be some sort of godlike being, and when their assumptions were proven false, they felt betrayed even though they were the ones to assume in the first place. The new painting emphasizes two additional things. The first was already there through the Prisoner, but made a bit more obvious and noticeable earlier on, that it isn't "the entire species" who is right or wrong about the Eye, but the individuals of that species. The choice made was the mistake that made the Strangers "wrong" when compared with the Nomai, it wasn't some fundimental fault of them as a species or culture. The second was, as a culture, they are vastly different from the Nomai, with far more of an emphasis on art and creativity compared to the Nomai who can make art, but prefer rationality and experiments instead.

[@Drambrarcer]

The green fire should have just added a ship log entry explaining that now you understand that it's green due to the kind of gas they use, both to help further unravel their veneer of mysticism and to confirm that there's no further puzzle it needs to be used for.

[@joshuakb2]

I'm so happy to see all the improvements being made to echoes of the eye. Halfway through my playthrough of it, I got stuck and was wasting all my time. I ended up giving up and just watching the rest on KZbin to find out what happens. Hopefully these improvements will help other people to enjoy it as intended

[@LordTelperion]

That flower is the Eye of the Universe. :)

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Right. Which is why I was thinking it was depicting itself. What it could actually do. To the owlks. Another thing this hints. Is the eye flower grows from the corpses eye. In other words. The eye kind of becomes one with whoever observed the eye. I think this hints our entangled nature sort of sticks. Maybe the eye keeps our consciousness or something. We sort of become the eye for the next universe. But thats just a guess based off interpretation. And us being expelled from the eye sort of hints against this.

[@testedhawk]

I'd like to believe the Owleks stopped the vision early because they saw their deaths and were too terrified to look beyond. The Prisoner embraces that fear, looks on, and finds rebirth after death. The ENTIRE lesson of Echoes of the Eye is to embrace your fear and continue despite it, it's trying to teach the player immense courage for the journey ahead of them.

[@thepethyn]

dang, the end screen is so cute. i know its just echoes of the eye in the outer wilds font, but taking into consideration the slide before it, idk, its just so nice.

[@Painocus]

The Prisoner's painting (?) isn't a direct continuation of the vision seen in the slide. If you compare the level of grass; in the vision the skull is completly engulfed in grass past the point the grass has grown to in the flower painting, while in the vision the flower sprout stop growing around (iirc) the point where the grass is at the same level as in the painting. This could mean one of a few things: A) The Prisoner somehow saw a different version of the vision from the others. B) The Prisoner somehow had a separate slightly-different vision later. C) The vision as shown in the slide was tampred with and the version represented by the painting is the real one (personally I like this explaination the least). D) The painting is entierly the creation of the Prisoner, extrapolating the flower from the sprout in the original vision to represent what they speculated (?)/discovered (?) about the eye.

[@TheLoreExplorer]

f.) Both are simply artists representations and grass size isnt important. The reel being the reel makers artists depiction(historian , documenting events for future generations) The mural being the prisoners depiction(not at all worried about grass size)

[@TheLoreExplorer]

I gotta be honest. If the same stalk didnt shoot up from the eye in both images. Id probably look into that too. I wasnt meaning to be dismissive or anything. Its a good thought. I just think its explained away easy enough

[@SuHISKgeroto]

Eye also showed death of all planets besides "one Owlfolk" so its logical for them to understand it as a threat. Its just strange that people usually dont like "burn old, build new on top of ashes" in fiction and here people are OKEY with that.

The Eye being represented by a flower is so interesting. It's a complete 180 from how the eye is portrayed elsewhere

@@TheLoreExplorer what I mean is that overwhelmingly it seems that it's meant to be a terrifying thing. But the message it attempts to convey to the Owlks is that it's the opposite of that

It’s odd. I think they made it frightening feeling on purpose. Just to show us that just because something looks or feels frightening to us. Doesn’t mean that’s all it is. Instead of judging things based off how they look or seem to us. It’s better we take a step back and judge non objectively. Only then can we learn it’s not terrifying.

Funny. I just asked the games writer the same thing. It seems a ton of writing was cut. "Even stuff they loved". And even mechanics. The jetpack. The fog. Logan said he was messing around with the idea to add sand building up on our visor if we were on ash twin. And then we have to think about the environment and entire buildings and whatnot. Im pretty certain the list is long. I wonder if theyd be open to an interview surrounding it. Itd be a big ask because youd probably need to ask the whole team and not just the lead devs to truly learn everything. And it probably take a lot of time. Makes me sort of sad. I wish they had a version for the puzzles. Then a version where you can add non puzzle relevant details.

[@adamandom]

When I first played this game and got the Warp Core, one of my initial thoughts was to take it to the Quantum Moon in the sixth location - see if the devs accounted for avoiding the supernova like that. I get to Solanum, wait a few minutes before meditating instead. I just... die. Made no sense to me. Glad that its been fixed. Did the same thing on The Stranger, and it worked there which was fun.

[@annafaelens]

I agree with your opinion on the end screen for Echoes of the Eye... I was definitely confused with the ending, I never would have made the connection that I had to play the original ending again on my own. I was there was something in the end screen or at the end that subtly (but more obviously than now) hinted at that ending. The current end screen for EotE feels pretty weird imo

[@TheLoreExplorer]

I know you dont respond to my responses often. But wait? What was my opinion? lol. I sort of understood it was the end from context. But yeah. I easily see how people miss it. The story in Outer Wilds is interesting. Because its all about reality. How it works. How it comes together. And how individuals react to the same things differently. So what youre saying is only natural for outer wilds. Some people will be less in the moment and instantly remember "Solanum changed the next universe....I wonder if The prisoner does too". And a lot of people may be more in the moment. And not have that same train of thought. Or even worse. They havent played the game before and so dont even know of the end. And so reality is different for them. But that doesnt make it any less meaningful. Plus , the last thing the game wants to do is break that wall and let you know what youre experiencing isnt reality lol. They want you immersed. So its really hard for them to cover all these different realities. New player. Immersed player. The bozo like me analyzing every frame. But yeah. At the end of the day it is a game. Itd be nice if they sort of reminded people afterwards or something that "There is more to explore here". But I think they are in a tough spot.

"Improved public transit between two islands beneath a starry sky" could refer to the dream world area where the "bell" structure is. The bridge now has a gap and you need to use it new grabby hands there to cross (or at least I don't remember this before). No idea about the other patch note.

You didn't mention the ship log about the prisoner's vision staff being a farewell. This should be part of the "making the ending more obvious" change. I don't think it was an earlier addition.

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Sorry. I can’t redo every discovery and see the ship logs. Or read every ship log. But yeah. That’s a nice detail.

[@The_world_that_No_dreams]

Not very good at English, so the following is from Google Translate. I just came across this game recently, it's really amazing, it's not the most well-known game, but it's the one that touches me the most.

[@jerri1918]

the only problem i have with the green jetflame thing is the fuel tanks in the burned eye church burned _orange,_ not green

[@TheLoreExplorer]

The jetpack flame burned green. The fuel burns green. The wood of the church would still burn using normal oxygen. And so it burns orange as normal. "Nothing to see here really"

I was wondering when you would cover this. Also they say final update but terraria has gotten like 8 more major updates after the final update(journeys end)

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Needed to wait for mods to be fixed to show case things properly. They did mention last "planned" update. But theyve kind of promised they wont keep trying to squeeze life out of the outer wilds solar system. I think this is about it.

[@LordZipThe3rd]

@@TheLoreExplorer I see, well when there is nothing left to cover I hope you can find a good game to cover(if that's what you decide to do) although I doubt there is many games as great as this one. I'll keep watching anyway:)

[@crazynachos4230]

@@TheLoreExplorer I'm glad it's that way, things are better when they have a planned end point instead of droning on forever (kinda like how the owlks wanted the universe to be)

[@TheLoreExplorer]

There is still plenty left to cover in Outer Wilds! Its a whole universe! I havent even done true analysis for the dlc. Just explained the surface level stuff people would wonder about. Heck. I havent even covered the Nomais third eye! You may think its normal. But its special! I think there is plenty more to cover. But it wont last forever. I finally started playing Sable like everyone has asked and that game has been compelling. Idk if itd have interest for lore videos though.

1.1.13: added electron excitation

[@druidmeats]

Yeah it’s sad that they won’t update the game majorly anymore, however it likely means there’s something new coming! Maybe a sequel! How cool would that be?? It’s likely just wishful thinking, but a sequel could be on the way!

[@AnEvilEel]

Hello the lore explorer

[@bradcogan8588]

As cool as the green flame is, I'm glad they didn't leave it in. In slide reels I'm sure the flamethrowers don't throw out green flame so it wouldn't really make sense I don't think.

[@TheLoreExplorer]

They actually do. The flame that comes out of the device is green. When they go to burn the reels , they burn green. Its the fuel that burns green. But wood would still burn orange when it catches fire. So seeing the church's fire(after it catches) be orange isnt really all that important. Cause the thing that caught it on fire was indeed green flame.

[@bradcogan8588]

@@TheLoreExplorer ah okay I must be remembering it wrong.

[@OcarinaLink24]

I’m interested in how you came to the conclusion that was a memorial. It seems like you’re right but I’m wondering how

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Well , each pillar or portrait has flowers with them. And they each seem to have their own personal items still there. This makes sense if we wanted to remember them. Honor them.

[@OcarinaLink24]

@@TheLoreExplorer ohhhh that does make perfect sense! That’s a very good catch. Well done

[@m0n0x]

hmmm... i rather think the owlks Didnt keep watching what would happen if they went to the Eye; recoiling back out of the visions in horror of their possible demise

[@TheLoreExplorer]

I suppose there is no reason to believe the prisoner didnt go in and watch it on their own in the time they were there. Now that you mention it. It may make the most sense. I tried to keep in mind that the reels are artists depictions. So I thought maybe they focused wrong. But maybe they just didnt know. How sad would that be?

[@SheogoratTomov]

@TheLoreExplorer, "Uncomment this line to disable the extra characters added in patch 13." What are these characters they noticed?

@@TheLoreExplorer so, we can "delete" them and go through the fireplace safely since the start of the loop, not waiting for dam breaking?

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Well , no. The update made it so the inhabitants who enter dont disappear when they usually do. This was a game dev decision to make it so there arent that many characters the game has to load. But now there is an option for pc to let them stack up instead of disappearing

[@flatkat7781]

Most players are happy with the update, but modders are not as happy patching everything again to work with this update. (Don't misunderstand me, the update is very cool)

[@hisroyalbonkess]

I hope there's just one more update to the PlayStation versions. My save file corrupted after the last patch.

[@TheLoreExplorer]

They will still patch this version. Just the last major update.

[@Pdasniper]

I love the expression "permanent suicide". As if there is another version of suicide, that is not permanent and can be reverted. Just a regular suicide

*simicide They originally planned it so they could wake up. But later chose to commit permanent Simicide.

[@Landis963]

Okay, I need to step in to defend the Owlks here. It was a fear reaction to the existential crisis of knowing their doom of impending death. Can you say that you would react any better? I can't.

[@TheLoreExplorer]

I’d like to think I’d at least finish the vision I tore my whole planet apart for. Yeah. But it is super natural to recoil in fear like that. Then constructing reality around you to forget that thing is also pretty human too. Still doesn’t mean that’s not a crappy thing to do.

Doesn't the normal jetpack lights up the places as well? What would be the problem to use the green jetpack thrust for that? I don't get it

[@TheLoreExplorer]

People would try to use the green jetpack to do something in the dlc. Like 1000+ people tried to use the Nomai shuttle to land on the qm. Its a useless piece in a puzzle game. So they didnt want it to be a red herring.

[@dgarro]

That right, Outer Wilds is game where almost everything has a purpose so it's understandable that people would try to do that and get frustrated. This is what one of the devs told us in the OW Modding Discord when I asked about why they scraped this: "a number of reasons! small stuff like we didn't like the hue of light it cast and didn't have time to tune it until it we found something good, and big stuff like it being a potential red herring like someone was sure to spend hours trying to figure out how to light the artifact with their jetpack"
