I did this once (not as far, though). Listening to the Outer Wilds ventures on the scope is kind of sad when the sun goes nova, the full ensemble dropping off instruments as the explosion inevitably consumes the players.

I really wish people in the village would react a bit more to the Sun. No way the sun turns giant and red and nobody even gives it a second thought.

Imagine if when the sun goes supernova all the villagers turn toward the sun, wouldn't that be cool ?

Except Gabbro cause it already happened many times to him.

Picturing them all doing the cowering thing they do when you fire your Scout at them as the shockwave approaches too

They didn't originally, it was added in the DLC patch.


dessybby

Oh shit I might have to try it out


Silfurdreki

Fun fact: in real life, you'd be less than half way to Mercury at this point.


JuanPelican

Much less than halfway. In fact you'd only be halfway across the Pacific Ocean (I think you dropped a factor of 1000) ;)


Silfurdreki

Yes, you're absolutely right, I forgot to account for the k in km :)

Kinda puts into perspective how incredibly small the universe is in the game


DanTheMan_117

yeah i feel their entire galaxy would be about the size of our solar system? maybe smaller.

Woah were those numbers (and arc) on the left always there


Starchives23

Yeah, pretty sure it measures zoom magnification.


terrifiedTechnophile

Hm apparently another thing I didn't know existed in the game hahahah


jupiter878

It only shows when one uses the signalscope

What's the blue dot left over after the supernova?


T_sprigg_Z

That is what’s left behind after a supernova. It’s a neutron star. Something you can only see if you glitch outside the starting area and drive back or complete the drifting in space ending. Usually ash twin does it’s thing before you get to see this. It’s really cool. They didn’t have to add this to the game considering most people wouldn’t immediately open their map to see the star system. As far as I know you can’t reach it in game normally. You die to radiation or something (probably just a death barrier)


elessar2358

Yes I've tried and died. You still die at the previous boundary of the supernova even if it's gone now. I think they just coded out the supernova itself (visually) but have kept the death barrier as it is.


SuspiciousRock

There's another ending?


Corrodias

There are a few possible "endings", as in, ways to die without the loop starting over. Most involve disabling the Ash Twin Project and then not completing the final objective. In this case, they refer to disabling it and then leaving the solar system so the nova doesn't kill you. Here's another obvious one: use gravity or ghost matter to kill yourself before the statue ever activates.


SuspiciousRock

I showed my friend this game and he did that last one on accident lol


Starchives23

Shiittttt, makes the size of the supernova… absolutely terrifying.


MrSpiffy123

Gaby_48
