Base Game Help - Hints Only! I need your help please Spoiler

I've loved every second of this game so far and havent felt aimless or lost for a moment right until now.

I feel I have all the pieces yet have no idea what to do with them. Ive been to the sixth location and spoken to solanus, ive found all the parts of the orbital probe cannon and found the coordinates for the eye and ive found everything (i think) there is to know about the ash twin project except I dont know how to get inside. Thats my only lead, and I have no ideas left. I know theres a warp core inside but dont know where the tower connecting to it is.

I admit that I got sidetracked in the dlc without realising it was the dlc and expected it to link back up to what I was doing which I dont think is the case.

Ive done everything so far without looking anything up and this is incredibly annoying I have to ask for help but Ive got nothing left

Please post your ship logs. Look at anything connected on rumour mode to the ATP

Have you been to the High Energy Lab and the Black Hole Forge? The information you can get in your ship log from these locations is relevant.

The high energy lab has the hints you need.

It's tricky trying to figure out how to give an appropriately balanced hint.

For now, though, maybe a closer look at the order of the towers on Ash Twin might be a good place to start?

Oh, and general reminder to read all the Nomai writings. I get the sense that folks miss a lot of clues by accidentally skimming past what they assume is just flavor text.

You have been inside the High Energy Lab, and the Black Hole Forge, correct? You should review the clues from those places. Logs are good, but it might help more if you visit them in person again, and read the entire dialogues.

I found it was useful and pleasant to occupy myself with preliminary exploration of the DLC, as a distraction while while my mind was trying to process clues from the main game. Nothing wrong with doing both concurrently.

The usual nudge for the Ash Twin Project is to revisit the High Energy Lab and the Black Hole Forge. Specifically the upper level of the lab and the writing in the forge.

I assume you know where the Ash Twin Project is roughly located, even if you're struggling to reach it. Remember that the Nomai weren't really intentionally making difficult puzzles or things like that, things just tend to be harder due to the passage of time and lack of maintenance.

If you were to create a public transit system, you'd create a central transit hub wouldn't you? A grand central station or a Chicago O'Hare International Airport if you will.

I’m sure you know how to get there. You might have even tried it but the timing might have been off. Don’t overthink it.

So you know there should be a warp tower that connects you to the ATP, but can’t find the appropriate tower. Where are all the other warp towers located?
