9:45 Having just almost run out of O2, why not move your ship to be closer to your destination, rather than legging it all the way back? In fact, you're generally better off staying in your ship as long as possible (like, at the start of the loop, follow the column of sand looking for the towers *in your ship*, so you don't waste minutes of O2 just running around the equator, and your ship will be in the right place when you get out). 10:58 🤣 17:56 Regarding finishing the main game before or after tackling Echoes of the Eye: it's really up to you. Either way works. Just make sure that if you do finish the main game first, continue with the same save when you come back to the DLC. If it helps you decide, I will tell you that if you complete the main game first, you'll be going into the DLC with foreknowledge that your Hearthian wouldn't actually have. OTOH, if you do it that way around you'll get to see what difference completing the DLC makes to the end of the game. 18:36 You keep doing that. You forget that you're in a time loop. Everything in the solar system starts in the same state whenever you wake up (except for the direction that the probe is fired in), so if it was safe to fly directly to the Twins once, it will be safe every time. 44:17 "I have a feeling this is just going to be a copy of the communications from..." - not a copy. This is the other side of the communication. Yarrow was in the Ash Twin Project here, having conversations with Nomai at the various sites. It's like if you text chat with someone on your mobile phone, the other person will have the mirror of the conversation on their mobile too. 52:44 No, the music is different. Very different.
Again. I think it would be good to read over your notes more for things that are confusing you. They are pretty good about summarizing the important stuff. 🥰
"First, the sun station will prompt the sun to explode..." if you take all that information and write it out on a piece of paper as a timeline, including the 22 minute time travel, that might help you understand. Although if you recorded this on Thursday, possibly you mulled it over since then. In the video you used the word "predestined" but is that true? The spacetime-breaking ending does screw with trying to understand the game. In the high energy lab experiment, your scout nears the black hole, exits the white hole, but you recall the scout before it can enter the black hole. How did the scout exit the white hole, then? Paradox! Spacetime breaks! Kazoo ending! However, if we imagine that your memories being sent back each loop as a piece of paper containing the information from that time loop... we are breaking spacetime in exactly the same way every loop. It shouldn't matter if information goes back in time some other way such as radio waves, because we still change the circumstances every loop that led to that information being created in the first place. I'm not sure if that is tripping you up, but I consider the "spacetime breaking" to be a joke - nothing is predestined, and you can change the past. Even if we justify that "information" is somehow OK, and things _are_ predestined, well, the Nomai probably wouldn't have known that anyway when making their plans.
Yes, you now have have everything the game gives you to work out the big picture. From your comments Heidi, you seem to think that the firing of the probe cannon starts the loop. It's certainly the event that happens at the beginning of the loop, but cause and effect are not straightforward when time travel is involved. The message you read at 47:37 spells out the cause and effect more clearly. Also, recall that the readout on the Sun Station reported that the sun has reached the end of its natural lifecycle, and is going supernova by itself.
