Intro
This guide will help you over certain hurdles in the game. This won't make the game any less fun. It'll definitely save your regret from looking up something towards the endgame. I have a deep regret for looking up something big.

If you see a name mentioned, you find them by using your signalscope. Press the whatever button is binded on keyboard and "Y" on an Xbox controller. There will be no huge spoilers in this guide.
Sun
There is a little thing orbiting the sun. You can fly to it, but that is one of two intended ways to get there.

Hint 1: It's on Ash Twin.
Hint 2: "Use" a tower in a certain way.
Hint 3: The tower is sun shaped.
Giveaway: Wait until the sand reveals the sun tower a little. Then wait until the door on the bridge side unblocked. Make your way to the tractor beam (Purple lifty thingy) and stand on the pad. Wait long and it teleports you to the thing orbiting the sun AKA the Sun Station.
The Interloper
There is something at the tail that you can't get to.

Hint 1: It's a Nomai shuttle. There is a recording on the outside of it.
Hint 2: There is a thing on two planets that launch and return shuttles. One of them is on Brittle Hollow.
Hint 3: The other planet is Ember Twin.
Giveaway: Use the gravity cannon on Ember Twin to teleport the shuttle back to you. It will be covered with ice which tells you it's from the Interloper.
Ash Twin
Explore the equator. There is nothing important on the north or south pole.
Ember Twin
Explore the North and South Pole. Chert is on the North Pole. Talk to them. Explore the equator.
Hint: Go find the escape pod and go through the escape hatch.
Timber Hearth
Explore the entire museum. Explore the north and south pole. Explore the equator. There is a bridge, geyser mountain, and waterfall in one section. There is a bridge in the center of the geyser mountain. Also check out the parts leading up to the bridge.
Jump in the geysers.
The Attlerock
Talk to Esker. Explore the north and south pole.
Brittle Hollow
Talk to Riebeck. Explore both on the surface and underneath the crust on the north and south pole. Avoid the black hole, but don't worry if you fall in. You're in a time loop.
Hollow's Lantern
Hint: Look inside the volcanoes.
Giveaway: There is something inside one of the volcanoes after the lava clears up a bit.
Giant's Deep
Talk to Gabbro. Explore the north pole. Explore the core if you know how to get there. Every Island has some sort of importance. Don't forget about the light you see at the beginning of every loop. You should follow the light and check out its source.

Hint: The tornado is impassable, but the atmosphere isn't.
Giveaway: Exit the planet. Go above the north pole. Descend into the planet. Go from there.
Dark Bramble
Follow Feldspar's signal. Good luck.
Quick Tips
1.) You have a ship log in the back. Use of rumor mode is recommended.
2.) Your scout detects safe paths when ghost matter is present. Instead of a green fog above the crystals, there is nothing. This is safe to walk on.
3.) You can boost with your suit to go higher and farther. This only works on planets, not in space.
4.) Use common sense and regular logic for some puzzles.
5.) You can open Nomai doors by looking a a ball. It will turn blue, then you can move it by looking around.
6.) Never give up. This game is worth it.

Have any of you tried pizza hut spicy lovers pizza?
Now, I don't usually eat fast food pizza, but the pizza hut spicy lovers pizza is a pizza to remember.
It just happens to be the perfect amount of spice. From new spice adventurers dipping their toes in the hot sauce, to spice veterans drowning in peppers, you'll be sure to love the pizza hut spicy lovers pizza.

There's nothing quite as un-sexy as a person with no curiosity.

I'll keep this guide in mind in case I get stuck later on in my playthrough, but just got to say that I love how you marked everything as spoilers. Cheers for that!
