⏳ The 22-Minute Rule

  • Everything resets when the sun goes supernova - knowledge and the ship log are the only things that persist
  • Plan a loop around one discovery, not five. Two good loops beat one perfect run you never finish

🌑 Planet Order That Teaches

  • Brittle Hollow: the black hole teaches gravity and momentum
  • Ember Twin: the caves teach patience and the sand column timing
  • Ash Twin: the towers are the endgame; don't expect to solve it early

🔍 Ship Log Discipline

  • Read every log entry immediately - the rumor map only updates when the log is current
  • The quantum moon moves only when you look away or when the image is obscured; photograph it, then jump
  • Dark Bramble: cut thrusters the moment you enter, or the anglerfish hear you
