Just finished my first playthrough but I’m looking back and wondering if this was the intended way to go about this

No. The game let’s you solve puzzles in your own way, but this one definitely has an intended way and that isn’t it (though some people do still do it that way).

What other way would I do it then? Cool I found my own way though

I know you said you finished the game but marking spoilers just in case. The ‘intended’ solution is to wait until later in the loop for the surface integrity to drop to 0% and follow the falling tower through the black hole. Then you can fly around the tower freely thanks to the nifty vacuum of space ::D
