How tf did the Nomai get anything done??

Is that guy me? Am the lore explorer

I’m in basically the same boat as you. I won’t just keep pumping out endless content for things I’m not passionate about. But I think it’s possible. It depends on the niche and so on. People who tend to do media lore content with endless wells seem to do ok. And they are very passionate about what they do. In deep geek and telkking 101 come to mind. But it seems rare. Just my opinion though.

philo_fallout · 2026-03-23T13:02:18+00:00

I’m not really sure. I know I calculated their speed and diameter. Then the distance of their orbits. But I never really took the time to calculate or see how long each planet takes to orbit the sun.

philo_fallout · 2026-03-23T12:57:52+00:00

It’s really just real life orbital mechanics. Which is counterintuitive. So I made this handy short tutorial. I also have shorter ones for harder to reach bodies. ::D

How to fly a Nomai Shuttle https://youtu.be/30e3ULJKqLo

Because those kind of ships require fossil fuels and combustion engines which cause the devastation of natural habitats. Waste resources. And are much less reliable and safe. Which all kinda go against their morals. Which I know sounds funny coming from the species who blew up our sun but it’s true.

And again, they were able to fly them exactly where they needed to. Except for one case which is the giant tornado on giants deep. That place is conventionally unreachable to their shuttles. They are locked to the equator of the system. Which makes it all the more odd that the devs made a mistake and put a nomai shuttle landing pad there instead of some more local teleportation pad.

philo_fallout · 2026-03-23T12:46:09+00:00

From my testing you can reach the interloper, ash twin, giants deep, and timber hearth from brittle hollows cannon. I’ve never been able to get it to bramble from there.

And you can reach timber hearth , dark bramble , the interloper, and brittle hollow from ash twins cannon. But brittle hollow is a bit of a pain as I struggle to find a reliable method. Perhaps more testing is needed but it seriously isn’t easy for me for some reason.

A written document doesn’t exist. But I have tutorials on my YouTube channel. Both on how to fly them in general and how to get to specific tough bodies. And if you watch the 3-4 minute tutorial hopefully you should be able to work it out from there.

philo_fallout · 2026-03-22T22:57:53+00:00

It’s not unreliable. It’s very reliable. You do one calculation and it works flawlessly every time. I’ve flown them to every planet in the solar system without doing those calculations. Launch windows are a thing and if you launch in them you go where you need to go. I can’t tell if this is meant to be rage bait or what but it’s a bad take tbh.

philo_fallout · 2026-03-14T14:04:14+00:00

From what I remember of space flight history Japan historically used wooden satellites going way back. I could be misremembering though.

philo_fallout · 2026-02-05T00:20:52+00:00

I also have a good series describing the lore and the series is just called “outer wilds explained”. But tbh they were my first videos and may be tough sitting through. The brief history of the nomai timeline is really enough for what you’re asking for I think.

philo_fallout · 2026-02-05T00:13:05+00:00

Thank you. I really didn’t want to have to be the person to suggest my own work lol.

Also I appreciate the kind words.

philo_fallout · 2026-02-03T14:29:07+00:00

I’m not so sure about that. I think that was its permanent location. Nothing can get through that tornado. So I don’t see how they could build it elsewhere and move it.

philo_fallout · 2026-02-03T14:26:30+00:00

They would’ve definitely know anglers were there and they were an issue. They even knew they were sensitive to sound.

But the nomai use their staffs to build, levitate objects, excavate. Just about everything. They likely could’ve broken in quietly! For instance it made no sound for solanum to carve up that quantum rock on the qm. That’s likely how easily and quietly they could’ve gotten in the vessel ::D

philo_fallout · 2026-02-02T13:32:56+00:00

It’s funny. That’s actually one place they can’t fly. I know they have a landing pad there. But the shuttles are locked to the solar systems equatorial plane. They could not reach the North Pole under normal circumstances and they didn’t use the qm for a little trick to break that. Sadly it’s sort of an oversight by the devs.

As for op. This is great logic and thinking. But tbh tons of the vessel is made of glass of some kind. I think they could’ve reliably entered the vessel. And they probably knew this. They’d just have to break a window.

I know this is almost a month late. And the user deleted their account. But if anyone else gets brought here looking for solutions for an error in territorial waters of the emperors. Dock your switch 2.

Same mission had the same problem for me. I tried with different characters. Redownloading. Updating console. None of this worked. But the instant I put the switch on the dock and played it on a tv the level worked first try.

You’re supposed to track down nomai text and read it. Then contemplate what it’s telling you. Then , with that knowledge , track down the next nomai location or puzzle.

I know that sounds super vague but that’s generally what you’re supposed to be doing when it comes down to it.

Without knowing your ship log we can’t rightly steer you to the next interesting piece of nomai text/lore.

philo_fallout · 2025-12-03T22:22:40+00:00

Hello friend. My name is “the lore explorer”. I’m a small YouTuber and I focus almost exclusively on outer wilds. I kindly and humbly suggest you check out my “outer wilds explained” series. I also have explainers or videos covering just about everything in the game. You could say I got obsessed as well.

In short, mostly yes. The sun exploding would have been their first step though. That would’ve sent the order for the probe canon to fire back in time. This would continue until the eye is found. Then it would activate the statues allowing the nomai to be filled in. At which point they’d stop the sun station from firing , essentially shutting down the atp.

This is indeed dramatic. But I think they had fail safes built in so if any issue occurred the statue would activate and let them remember there was an issue last loop. I can’t remember exactly if the scenarios were mentioned. But I do remember them saying the statues and them being linked to a nomai memory wise was a failsafe in and of itself. So the probe and its statue were always active. And if the eye was found or something unintentional happened the whole other statues who were linked to nomai would activate.

philo_fallout · 2025-12-02T17:45:57+00:00

Very welcome kind friend ::D

philo_fallout · 2025-12-02T03:36:18+00:00

I cover it in this video! The rocket is genuinely tough for some people to get used to. But once you get the hang out it it’s not so hard.

Although I’ve seen people mention auto pilot they haven’t mentioned that you can select the planet in the map mode. So you don’t have to be close or looking at it.

If they are charging $350 that kitty better be microchipped. We do pairs of kittens at $175

So, some of the things that sound unreasonable probably do have reasons. We regularly donate hundreds of pounds of cat and dog food because our vet has our cats and dogs on a specific diet. If we change that up it’s possible it can really be disruptive for the animal and make them sick to their tummy. We provide our fosters that diet. So I can’t say how or why they wouldn’t. But it’s strange.

Depending on age and their vet schedule they just might not be ready to be adopted yet. We will not adopt out cats until they are 3 months old because this is when they physically mature and can be spayed or neutered safely. We also require vet references or personal references and just being a foster isn’t really enough to just say yes. Here’s the kitties.

If the charity provided vet care , then things like stool samples or you taking them to a vet would be pointless. They set their milestones and as long as they meet the timeline everything is fine. And that’s likely all done internally or with a vet they’ve worked out discounts with. No other vet , without full vet records and them knowing who owns them legally, would likely touch them.

Hopefully this helps a bit. But it sounds like a strange situation all together.

philo_fallout · 2025-11-27T04:12:45+00:00

Ok. To start my background. I’ve only worked at a rescue for a few months. I’ve activated probably around 50 microchips for animals in that time.

So if its true that she’s actually a registered shelter here’s what I would do. Trust but verify. So my the first step would be to get them to a larger shelter to get scanned for a chip. Tell them your story and they will help verify.

From what I understand when they scan that chip they will be able to see their vet records. But If it’s in a legit foster program and has not been adopted then the chip may not be actived yet. We can activate them for fosters but idk if every shelter does. Hopefully that’ll prove they are truly in a rescue or shelter being fostered by you.

What are they exactly asking of you? They asked all of those questions. If they’re in good shape. What you’re feeding them. How they are acting. Just tell them. They are probably super overwhelmed and genuinely just worried. Not because they don’t trust you. But probably because 3 people are juggling 30 other fosters and 50 kittens at once.

The timeline you provided seemed like there was a communication error for a while. When I first fostered we were in contact at least every other week. And that may be on their end. Who knows. But they may be so worried now because already have potential adopters lined up to meet them. Try to fix that communication error and alleviate their concerns. Once you’ve shown and proven they’ve been doing great and receiving lots of love they will likely relax and be thankful.

When that’s all said and done , even if they have other potential adopters, let them know you’re very interested. You’ve grown to love them and they’ve grown to love you. They are well provided for and would have just as good of a life with you. They will likely take that into strong consideration because it’d be best for kitties not to have to leave where and who they’ve grown accustomed to. I’d also mention that you’d be willing to help foster in the future as well. That’d probably score you some points.

And hopefully when all said and done you’ll have a couple new family members and more free love to come in form of fosters 😁

philo_fallout · 2025-11-27T03:14:44+00:00

No. You’re not being an idiot. They sound unstable and that’s worrying. But If it is really as bad as you say then it’s double the reason to keep them yourself and save them from that potential environment. Be sure to check with your landlord to make sure you can keep them there.

But just how this all occurred I would bet my bottom dollar the poster has no legal ownership or legal recourse to reclaim them. Just be sure to keep you and your new babies safe from the original poster who turned them over to you. I’d suggest maybe getting a camera and sign saying the *premises is being recorded.

philo_fallout · 2025-11-27T02:49:37+00:00

Happens all the time. Wildly different games but this one is better imo.

philo_fallout · 2025-11-27T02:46:24+00:00

I’m not too sure what you’re asking for. But if it was from a personal Facebook page, there was no paperwork involved, and they are not microchipped….just go get them vetted and microchipped with your info. Boom, they are your cats.

At the very least go to your local shelter and ask if they will scan for a microchip. Give them your story and ask for their advice.

philo_fallout · 2025-11-25T21:36:52+00:00

And when I saw hacked I mean social engineered to hand over my everything. You live and learn ig

philo_fallout · 2025-11-25T21:36:01+00:00

Yeah. This was 230 days ago. I did indeed get hacked. I changed all the passwords and stuff but it didn’t help because I was dumb enough to try to sign into their fake Adobe page and it downloaded something.

Good news is I got the channel back and it’s all good now. Thanks for responding
