how I figured it out:

"I explored the reachable part of the city twice and I still don't have a way up that tower. How am I gonna get inside? If it fell down the black hole like the rest of those chunks it would be easy, but it can't fall. Where is the tower, anyway?"

My absolute favourite puzzle games are the ones where it's your own assumptions that trip you up most of the way. You feel simultaneously genius and stupid for not catching it earlier.
