Alright, so you're ready to venture out into the big black, huh? Before you blast off, let's get you familiar with some of the basics right here on your home planet. Think of this as your final tutorial before the real adventure begins!

Exploring Home:

Your home planet, Timber Hearth, is actually a pretty great place to learn the ropes. You'll chat with some of your fellow Hearthians, check out some cool sights, and get a feel for how things work before you even leave the atmosphere. It's all part of the Outer Wilds Ventures' onboarding process, so pay attention!

Speak with the locals

See the sights

Once you've chatted with everyone, make your way to the Observatory. You'll find a few more locals who can drop some interesting lore bombs. The ground floor is also a museum filled with artifacts from all over the solar system. Take your time to read the descriptions and check out the exhibits. A lot of it might not make sense at first, but you'll be able to come back later with more knowledge.

You'll notice these cool gray stone slabs with swirly patterns – those are written in the Nomai language. Your translator will help you read them, and you'll find these all over the solar system. The Signalscope can also pick up a strange blue
