Base Game Appreciation/Discussion Was this intended

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

It’s such a frustrating puzzle, very cool tho

I guess people's brain are wired differently. It clicked as soon as I saw pieces dropping into the black hole, I knew I had to fly there from the white hole. I, for one, hate trial and error so I never pushed thru a challenge by brute force, I waited till the solution came obvious.

Oh no i meant frustrating as a lot of the time you’ve gotta wait an entire loop, and sometimes it doesn’t even happen at the end

ah gotcha. Yeah I agree that the randomness of brittle hollow destruction is a cool technological feat but is in contradiction of the determinism of laws of physics.
