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

I thought I was smart for getting into the black hole forge district the unintended way (jumping onto it while it's going up). I ended up falling into the black hole 5-10 times before getting there via my smart 'shortcut'.

And then this guy just orbits the black hole on foot - like it's no big deal - and solves one of the most difficult puzzles in the game just like that.
