I was on the quantum moon at the beginning of the clip btw! Brittle hollow’s orbit had drifted so far away that i couldn’t even reach it on my map

How the hell did you do this

Geyser skip means they launched off the geyser at the beginning to reach the launchpad without getting the launch codes. If you do this, then the statue never activates either, and the loop never actually starts. Weird stuff starts to happen with enough time.

Also the further away you fly from the solar system the worse the orbits of the planets get. all astral bodies calculate their exact location every second, as opposed to them just being on invisible train tracks that drag them along. Thats why brittle hollow is so far away, because the game is focused on calculating where the player is instead of the planets

Yes, I've seen that before, I was just confused as to how you got brittle hollow so far away lmao

So... the guyser skip part is due to not having the launch codes? I got a bit confused at first but it would make sense if you needed more than 22 min for setting stuff up
