(I say Meltwater at the beginning, I meant Black Hole Forge lol)

Nice video 👍

7:53 Boost! Boost! 14:02 *Whack" "Woah! What just happened?" - a quantum tree just appeared under/inside your ship. It's a risky place to park 😁 17:43 I don't know if it's canon, but I interpret those orange symbols as Nomai numbers, with the number of hexagons in the symbol showing the count. So, it's like it's saying "floor 1 - school district", "floor 2 - meltwater district", "floor 3 - eye shrine district" and "funky symbol wot isn't a number - black hole forge district". 23:48 "I was just trying to get a better look" - don't forget that your Signalscope has a handy zoom feature! 38:50 "Now, I was on the surface, and it didn't seem to be bothering me that much" - I think the Hearthians are just much more hardy than the Nomai. One of the museum entries about the Nomai skeleton mentions their "shockingly fragile bone structure". 50:24 "Ok, so Chert knows that... everything is exploding" - but did you? I may be wrong, but I don't know that you'd noticed anything other than your own sun going supernova? 54:57 You could have also talked to Chert again on your way through, early in the loop this time. 1:09:30 Shortcut unlocked! 1:12:44 😆 BTW, you keep talking to the sun as if it might start to collapse at any second without warning, but when you learn to read the signs, you always have some warning. Learning to gauge how close you are to the end of the loop is one of the skills that you develop as you play.

- What's so funny is I SWEAR I was mashing A the whole time 😭 I saw the prompt in editing and was so mad because I SWORE I was boosting! - Editing is so clarifying sometimes lmao, I remembered the writing about how the trees also move and went, oh yeah, that makes sense now - That's sort of what I was thinking, re: Nomai numbers. It makes the most sense given the direct correspondence to the floor order! - Someday I'll remember the zoom feature on that dang thing - Yeah I hadn't noticed the supernovae in the background, but I started to notice them in the starfield after that. So Chert had a leg up on me in that regards! Poor guy. I definitely have to go back and visit them first-thing in a loop in the near future -- I think I got tunnel vision on having to get to the Sunless City before everything got sanded out. - Me: oh let me get a closer look at this platform-- The platform: 👋 bye bye - You'll be VERY proud of me on Monday because it finally clicks for me lol. I think I'd subconsciously registered that the same music played right before the reset, but hadn't actually noticed it. So I'm gonna be a lot more sure of where we're at in the loop at any given point in time soon!

The Sun Station Project definitely sounds ominous. I wonder if the other supernovae Chert noticed are all related, or if the other Nomai built Sun Stations that are all now going kablooey at once? ...I wonder if the supernovae and/or the black hole / white hole warp link have anything to do with the timey-wimeyness around how the Nomai seem to both be zillions of years ago and like two minutes ago?

That's the one chink in my current-running theory about what's happening -- the other supernovae. The white hole/black hole warp definitely has some more to explore I think. I'm not sure if it'll answer *that* question specifically, but it definitely answers a few in the upcoming Monday episode!
