Learn the ropes of Outer Wilds! This guide covers essential tips for exploring your home planet, interacting with locals, and preparing for your first space voyage.

This guide provides essential tips for new players starting their journey in Outer Wilds. It covers exploring your home planet, interacting with the locals, and preparing for off-world exploration.

Exploring Home:

Before venturing into the galaxy, familiarize yourself with your home planet. Interacting with your fellow Hearthians and observing the sights within the Outer Wilds Venture crater serves as a comprehensive tutorial.

• Speak with the locals:
• Gneiss introduces the Signalscope for tracking solar system sounds.
• Galena and Tephra offer a Hide-and-Seek game to practice Signalscope use.
• Arkose explains ghost matter and how to detect it with the Scout Launcher.
• Mica provides a miniature spaceship for piloting practice.
• Gossan guides you through maneuvering in zero gravity within the "Zero-G" cave to repair a satellite. A space suit is available in the cave.
• See the sights:
• Visit the Observatory to learn more about the world from locals and explore a museum with artifacts from around the solar system. The museum exhibits will become clearer as you progress.
• Use your translator on Nomai writings found on a gray stone slab with purplish-blue geometric spiral patterns.
• The Signalscope can detect a strange blue "museum shard" in a secluded room.
• Observe special mechanics like the purple-blue glowing "gravity crystal."
• The top floor of the Observatory features a working map of the solar system.
• Obtain the Launch Codes from Hornfels. This activates a cut scene showing memories from the last 20 minutes.
• Use the launch codes to access your ship via a lift. Inside, find a space suit with turbo boosters, an oxygen tank (refillable on the ship or at living trees), and fuel tanks (refillable on the ship or at traveler camps). Health can be recovered using the medical kit or by roasting marshmallows.
• Finding Those Off World:
• Fellow explorers are already off-world; some are missing.
• Use the Signalscope to locate astronauts by their unique instruments or find their camps by rising smoke.
• All explorer camps (current and past) offer oxygen refills, spare fuel tanks, and marshmallows.
