Outer Wilds x Interstellar: Docking the Sun Station
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 янв 2021
- After falling into the sun 10 times, I finally docked onto the Sun Station. It wasn't possible, it was necessary... for the achievement XD
Originally this was gonna be a tutorial of sorts, but rewatching my footage, I realized that it NEEDED to be paired with the Interstellar docking anthem. And so it is.

"it's necessary."
"You literally could just use the warp core on-"
*"It's necessary."*
Thank you for dodging spoilers. I still haven't gotten to sun station and I don't want to ruin the moment. (The only warp I know off is on ash twin and... welll... Caruso prickly).
I've been to the sun station 3 times, still don't know where this warp station people talk about is
[*Goes under solar flare*]
@@shadeofsound23 pardon?
Not sure if it's intentional but I like how spoiler-free your comment is.
This little maneuver is going to cost us 22 minutes
The first time I was looking around the sun station. I was thoroughly looking around. The last thing for me to look at was the update panel. To my great fortune it kindly informed me that the station had 16 seconds until impact. I spent the entirety of my 16 seconds absorbing that message.
I feel you 😂
yes I definitely can relate
Lol I had 8 seconds. Read it multiple times as the game is paused when reading. Then I just ran to the other writings and tried to read everything before shit hit the fan. Of course I didn't make it in time and instead went back next loop.
“Oh for fuck’s s-
Had a similar experience. Read the Messages, admired the view and read the panel last. Read that I only have 1:12 left. Panicked and tried to get back to the teleporter. Almost failed the jump back. Got to the teleporter and got back to Ash Twin. Look on the map and see the Sun Station sink into the sun.
Sun station is such a gut punch. It is a master stroke of story telling
Yeah i finally figured out how to get there just to realise it was pretty useless. Really cool place tho
Also the music is insane
The music being a darker remade version of the Brittle Hollow music is awesome too. I read that the composer wanted it to be the opposite of that music because the sun station goes against everything the Nomai believed in. It's brilliant.
@@thegnome9529 useless is the wrong word for this.
The sun station is where I figured it all out.
Wheatley: Okay, I THINK this is a docking station!
* crashes directly into the sun *
Wheatley: Good news, that is NOT a docking station! So that's one mystery solved.
What is this a reference to?
@@AsquareM Portal 2
meanwhile there is literally a *giant sign* that says
*DOCKING STATION*
*500 FEET BELOW*
and he refers to crashing into it as a "manual override"
It took me so so many attempts to come to the conclusion that flying to the sun station isnt the intended way of getting there. I thought it was impossible. And yet here you are proving me wrong.
You can do it! It's actually pretty straightforward and suuuper consistent if you use orbital mechanics to do it. In real life, rockets use orbital mechanics to navigate space. Normally, the ship in the game has powerful enough engines that you can just straight up ignore orbital mechanics, but that close to the sun, your ship just isn't powerful enough for you to fully resist the sun's gravity, so you'll need to resort to orbital mechanics in order to land on the sun station.
The idea is this (a video demo might be more descriptive, so if you want me to record it, I can record a landing):
1. At the start of a loop, get into the ship and go to your computer. In rumor mode, mark the sun station so that you can see where it is on your HUD
2. Take off and immediately fly to the right. Your ship is pointing north and you want to fly east
3. Once in space, look at the sun, then hold R and rotate your view counterclockwise by 90 degrees (so that the sun station will pass from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen)
4. Click onto the sun to set it as target (you need to know your distance from the sun so that you don't crash into it)
5. When you lock onto the sun, you should see a blue circle (target marker) pop up over the sun. Look at the top tip of the circle. At this point, *only* use the W and S key to fly. Start flying forward.
6. You want to pay attention to your speed from the sun and the distance from the sun. Don't look away from the top tip of that circle. As you fly forward, try to keep your speed within 100 m/s and stop when you get to 3000 m above the sun (hold S until your speed is 0 m/s).
7. Keep staring at your speed and distance. Try to maintain 3000 m above the sun and try to keep your speed around 0 m/s (again, only use W and S to fly, and keep staring at the tip of the circle)
8. Within a minute or two, the sun station should come around the horizon. When that happens, drop your height to 2700 m and again, start hovering there.
9. The sun station will slowly creep up to you. When it's about 500 m away from you, drop your height again to 2500 m and start hovering.
10. At this point, look away from the tip of the circle and look directly at the sun station. Tap W to fly forward very slowly toward the sun station
11. Manually brake when you get close (ie, tap S until you stop moving)
12. At this point, you should be close enough to the sun station for you to be able to lock on to the doorway on the sun station. Lock on and hold spacebar to fully enter the sun station's orbit.
13. At this point, you can either unbuckle and jump out the ship, or eject yourself from the ship and immediately unbuckle
14. The moment you're free, start holding spacebar to cut your speed and match the sun station's speed
15. With luck, you haven't flown too far away. Look toward the doorway and tap forward to fly toward the doorway very slowly
16. At the doorway, the gravity panels will pick you up when you get close. Walk down the hallway a bit to unlock the achievement
- "It's not possible!"
- "No, it's necessary"
I tried it maaany times with a keyboard and mouse and could not even get a stable orbit of the sun let alone one synced to the station.
I switched to controller and got it on my first try. Didn't realise how much easier those tiny adjustments are with analogues but it made a massive difference.
At the beginning of the loop, go staight for the sun asap, align your ship with the path of the station and go full throttle towards the sun so that you'll graze the surface.
Then you gotta find the right moment to descelerate so that you don't get slingshoted and you should be able to select the debris of the station and align speed with it.
Beware of tidal forces when you exit the ship, first time I made it I go stuck on the corner of the ship and couldn't open the hatch.
It's doable with KBM too.
yeah sooo, i never realised you could warp there so i ended up getting to the sun station really early from practicing to land on it and i never got the sad moment from realising the nomai didnt actually blow up the sun
The orange tint for the Interstellar scene is a nice touch.
Thanks!
It's even more impressive when you know it's pulled out with a wooden spaceship
They should have named the achievement "no time for caution"
no they should call it:"not possible but neccesery"
no time for caution just has a ring to it
Making this landing on a blind playthrough purely because I wasn't aware of the warp core was one of the most satisfying moments of any game I've played
The Sun Station has some of the best level design in the game, not too complex but incredibly atmospheric. It's also where the pieces of the story started clicking together in a genuine "oh shit, that's what this is all about?" moment for me. For how little time is spent there, it's an excellent snapshot of the strengths of the game overall.
When I first played Outer Wilds, this was one of the first things I did. I saw it in the map and was like "Yeah that looks cool. I wonder if you can land on it" 😂
Badass
My 2 favourite moments in the outer wilds were first when I found out that the Nomai were killed by the ghost matter inside the comet, and second when I reached the sun station and realised it never worked, and that the sun was just at the end of its natural life, there was no way of saving it, there was nothing to be done. Both moments made me feel so melancholic but in a weirdly life afirming sort of way.
I thought the objective of this game was to reach the Sun Station to turn it off and save the solar system.... imagine the emotions after reaching the sun station and learning the fate of it
The universe is, and we are
I was an idiot and somehow didn't realize that the rock in the interloper was ruptured already, and I thought the rock ruptures when it crashes into the sun and thats what causes the supernova 2 minutes later
My plan to reach the sun station was to first do a flyby, firing a probe on it so I could easily keep track of where it was while I tried to align myself with its orbit. After failing to land the probe on it multiple times, I decided to just fly at it at full force, and when I slammed into it I'd stick the probe on. So what if I bounced off and damaged the ship a little, I'd repair it and go to phase 2 of my plan. I successfully slam into the sun station, my ship breaks to pieces, and I pop out... perfectly in orbit with, and right next to, the sun station. Then I just flew myself right on inside.
That must've been intense 😂
mission failed successfully!
The most Hearthian shit I ever read.
Feldspar moment, another not-boring crash.
There's a lot of these videos, but the editing puts this one in the stratosphere. Excellent job.
Thank you friend ❤️
The music matching with him leaving the ship is perfect
Took me about 10 attempts to nail this, the whole time I felt like I was in this scene from interstellar!
Only 10!?!?
Landing on the sun station is really difficult the first time you do it, but once you know what you’re doing it becomes relatively easy
Same, I failed like 40 times before I finally landed on it, and by that time I'd figured out what's needed so it became a daily sport for me where I'd begin my day by doing a Sun landing and then move onto exploring other stuff 😂
Once you know your orbital mechanics. Sure.
@@ashkuigp Me trying to land on the sun station after 500 hours of kerbal space program: "just like the simulations"
I only played Outer Wilds in VR so you can imagine how scary doing this was. I didn't know about the teleporter until after I had done it this way and it took maybe 20 or more tries.
wait that's a thing?? i'd get so motion sick lol (walking is fine, but flying in 0g?)
@@Lord_Vertice I never really had bad motion sickness in VR and by the time I played Outer Wilds my VR legs would have been strong. The rotation of the planets while standing on them and looking at the stars still caused a slight discomfort though.
@@WhoTnT fair enough. I've been playing for 2 months, mostly vrchat. i can handle everything for hours, but stuff like driving, flying, etc still makes me pretty sick.
How did you play outer wilds in vr? Steam vr?
@@krasontee0407 you need the NomaiVR mod. with that it'll run thru steam vr like any other pcvr title
That's got to be the best pilot I've ever seen.
So it would seem...
The real sun station music is actually just as amazing
This song plays in my head EVERY TIME I try to rendezvous with the Sun Station.
At some point, before I knew you’re supposed to teleport, I tried to land on it. For some reason, artificial gravity failed and I was thrown around my ship before I could leave. Assumed it was impossible.
Yeah that glitch happens at times, the game forgets the ship's artificial gravity and moves you around with the Sun's.
@@AsquareM well that's happened to me the 4 times ive gotten to the station
@@Brian-tn4cd SAME
I believe the artificial gravity "fails" just due to the overwhelming gravity of the sun at that distance, so to get out if the ship is jas to be upright
Tried it, nope. The gravity doesnt care about your ships orientation, just glues you to the sides and your suit thrusters are virtually useless against it.
Wait this is an achievement?!?!
*Boots Outer Wilds back up*
The devs wanted to keep a lot of other achievements to reward the player for doing crazy stuff like this, but were limited by hardware limitations lol
This edit is more epic than the actual scene in Interstellar.
Thanks a lot ❤️
interstellar sucked
Lets not go that far now
@@bleach186 So does your mom
I legit cheered when you finally lined up with the door and managed to land on the gravity floor !! What an amazing edit :D The music swelling up when you left the ship... Poetic cinema
This video is so perfectly made and synced that it makes me think it's better than the original scene from interstellar
after watching interstellar I can finally appreciate this meme.
Threading that solar flare like a bauss
Ahhh memories. I just keep picturing Joseph faceplanting for 3+ hours into the sun trying to land on the “landing platform” of the sun station.
And me over here thinking back on this video “pff so easy. Once you’re in orbit it just requires micro adjustments to stay with the sun station and eject out.” But for real it’s the same every loop start so once you have the timing down to get into the suns orbit you can make a sun station landing for fun every time. I usually get distracted every loop like that somehow because I like to hit my cockpit into the roof of the station lol
I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought of this song as I was doing this trophy. I could hear this exact music even though it wasn't actually playing.
I love the intense checks to the landing camera, lol.
My favourite scene from my favourite movie combined with my favourite game? I think I’m in heaven...
I had no idea of the teleporter so I flew there manually my first time. Took a few tries but my god did it feel good. I was understandably confused when the achievement popped up though. So many incredible memories with this game.
this is why I love the internet. this needed to exist. it fit perfectly. and someone just did it. thank you sir, this was perfect
2:44 is the most epic moment of this, perfectly matched.
I remember me trying to get this achievement. I tried a lot of times, but failed. And when I finally got it, I went inside, read some Nomai texts, then casually walked out, found my ship, entered it, and left like it was no problem at all.
Feldspar, I know you were proud at that moment.
That ending was perfect 😂
I was half expecting the whole loop reset memory sequence with the movie footage but that bit about being pulled it goes flawlessly with the rest.
i admire your hability to control the ship. i may have tried for 2 weeks to get that achievement with no results, and here you are, docking like a master!
A top notch outer wilds piece, conveying the best feelings the game can give 🤩
NASA wants to know your location
This legit was hard, fell into the sun like 10 times.
This video deserves more love. Just like the game.
Brand: "She's got no heat shield!"
Me when I didn't know about the teleporter 😂.
I knew the teleporter existed but couldn't figure out how to get to it so I was just like F it, I'm just gonna fly to it XD
@@AsquareM In my case, I tried many times with the spaceship but I couldn't. 😭
Holy shit this was done with a mouse and keyboard.
Legend
Honestly I can play better with KBM than Controller joysticks 😂
@@AsquareM I’m the complete opposite. The analog control makes fine-tuning things so much better
@@c4sualcycl0ps48 For racing games, I can agree
@@AsquareM I'm in the same boat. When I switch to a controller, my skills deteriorate to the level of an IGN reviewer.
Doing it YOURSELF with the interstellar soundtrack is really siiick, you guys should go and try it out.
This is truly how I felt when trying to get to the sun station. This game is amazing.
SO CREATIVE, and you did an excellent job blending them together :D
This little maneuver's gonna cost us 51 loops...
The single shot of the landing camera matched to the beat drop took me the hell out.
That was so intense.
What's even more impressive is that you did it using mouse and keyboard
I actually cannot play this game with a controller. I've tried. KB/M is just more natural to me except in racing games.
How many times have you watched this?
Yes.
and that's exactly how that felt!
i recently really got into outer wilds and GOD the timing on this is SO GOOD???? THIS IS HILARIOUS
this was literally me just before i just went to the sun station for the first time
I swear, this is one of the hardest achievements in the game, took me a solid hour to do it.
As setting up my orbit around the sun to get into Sun Station, and making minute adjustments to align with it, I thought of exactly this.
Great video.
This was honestly the exact same feeling i had while i was landing the ship on the sun station. I love this game so much!
That was way more fun the normal way.
i got sweaty hands just from watching this..
"It's necessary" achievement.
Just managed this myself recently and damn if it wasn't just as if not more thrilling than navigating the ending, especially when I bounced off the side and my toes were practically scraping the surface of the sun; I by some miracle managed to pull it together but definitely felt more terrifying than anglers, because you can't just drift past the sun, you have to fight it directly. :p
Remember how proud I felt when I managed to dock onto the sun station. I failed so many times but never gave up and at the end I actually made it. Had to then speedrun exploring it though since it was about to be sucked into the sun 😀
You know it's a dying star when your ship that has WOOD outside it doesn't burn that close to the sun... haha...
The first contact with the sun station i made when i launched with the nomai shuttle and crushed right into it, i was then like, what just happened? I was expecting to crush into the sun. Later in the game i understood what it was i crushed into
This just made my day! Thank you for making this. The editing is perfect and helps relieve the frustrations of trying to do this myself.
THIS WAS CRAAAZYYYYYYY OMG I DIDN'T BREATHE UNTIL THE SUIT DETECTED OXYGEN DAKASDKAOPADSKS MY ANXIETY COULD NEVER
congrats on the achievement doskdospkd so stressing(I love this game)
Exactly how I was feeling when doing it
First few successful attempts I got squished against the windshield without the ability to move towards the hatch as soon as I unbuckled. Had to look up some guides
This was the hardest thing I’ve ever accomplished in video games.
I keep getting thrown back out of the sun’s atmosphere, I can’t seem to find the sweet spot of momentum vs gravity to keep me in a tight orbit
Be around 3km away from the sun. It takes practice, at first even I had this issue
this is exactly how it feels...
"after falling into the sun 10 times..."
yea....only took me that many tries too >.>
I used my knowledge from kerbal space program to dock there
Super impressive in the canon game, where you're alone on the ship, but also REALLY hilarious in that Interstellar setting, in which you exit the ship alone and leave your crew in the ship to crash in the sun xD
"I am the man who grabs the Sun! Riding to Valhalla!!!"
I never did figure out how to get into the warp tower on ash twin but hours of orbital rendezvous practice in kerbal space program came in clutch
This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen.
I couldn't figure out how the teleporters worked other than "sometimes," so my first foray into the sun station was through orbital insertion.
Even managed to get the achievement!
....
20 seconds before it fell into the sun.
Why can I imagine an alternate timeline where you'd have to pull this stunt off after retrieving the warp core because the teleporter somehow got disabled from the Ash Twin to the Sun Station, and you need to charge up the warp core somehow from a decent energy source before heading to the Dark Bramble... only option is the Sun Station however that is about to get destroyed in the sun's expansion in a few minutes after you get the opportunity to retrieve the warp core.
That'd make your last run very intense and exciting, along with the final voyage music.
Damn....when editing done ri8♥️♥️♥️♥️ gave me chills while docking😅😅😅
😂🙌
A crying shame this cant be done after the update, ive tried to leave my ship to enter the sun station 4 different times now but the sun has about 4 gs of pull that glues you to the sides of your ship now. Impossible to leave the ship and nearly impossible to even get back in your seat.
Use the emergency eject lol
I can fluke my way out of the ship now, nine times out of ten if you arent perfectly parallel to the sunstation/suns plane/orbit youll still be glued to the indside of your ship with 3+ gs of the suns gravity. Its an excellent suggestion to try out the emergency eject though. Ill have to try it soon!
No, its necessary
That space jump to make it inside the station is still one of the most stressful things I have ever accomplished
THIS VIDEO IS UNDERRATED
This game is a timeless masterpiece. It gives you the chance of getting to anywhere by many different ways.
Awesome video, btw. I always thought this attemp to entering the sun station needed this song jajajajaja
Achievement unlocked: Hotshot
2:45 these 35 seconds were the most intensing in my life
I thought that was not possible lol. Awesome
I usually hunt achievements just for fun but I gotta say, this was easily one of my most favourite achievements I have ever got of all time. That feeling you get when you're catching up to the sun station and having to do tiny movements before slingshotting yourself inside is just...
*perfection*
Outer Wilds is a masterpiece of rewarding player creativity and I really hope it gets some kind of sequel.
Learnt basic orbital mechanics instead of just finding the warp core area when I first played..
When you got out and slammed into the wall, missing the entrance I laughed so hard. I thought, after all that build up and dramatic music, you would just hit the side and fall into the sun haha.
The madman did it
Best video on the internet
And Poke said it was impossible..
I too tried the landing early on, failed and thought it was just not possible. it was until I beat the game that I saw there was an achievement for it and thought “wait, then it’s possible?”. Cue several tries later and I did it by ejecting from the cockpit into the entrance lol.
I didn't know there was a teleporter to the sun station until after I beat the game. I just tried and tried and eventually managed to land on it. It did though feel like that it wasn't the right way but ey if it works it works.
When i did it i was hearing the music in my head
I thought it was impossible to land on the Sun Station, and then a friend of mine landed on it… in VR.
This mad lad playing with a mouse and keyboard
That's the only way
Cool idea, Nicely edited with interstellar film 👍
I did it with my friends watching on discord and oh god was it intense...
I tried them to grab the recording and edited with me music but nothing like this.
Nice vid!!
Nothing else can surprise , editing well done ❤🔥✌
