- You've stated some assumptions that are wrong. Maybe revisit some things you assume to be true. You might learn differently.
  Edit to provide a bit more (non-spoiler) context:
  Maybe consider focusing on the investigation board, and filling in anything you've not yet uncovered.
  You 'can't be bothered' with something important. Maybe you should be bothered.
  Maybe try to confirm some of your suspicions about various things. You might learn something new.
  
  The investigation board is key. Check not only the big question marks, but also review the other cards; it will literally tell you if there's stuff you still haven't discovered in a location. Keep poking at every part of it until it gives up all its secrets.
  Also, it sounds like OP hasn't been to the sun station yet. There actually two different ways of getting there, and only one of them involves landing on it.
  I believe the high energy lab has some important clues about what the other way is..
  
  i already knew about the other way, but it feels like I looked all over ::: spoiler spoiler
  the sunless city ::: and i still couldn't find it. hence why i feel like an idiot playing this game bcs i follow clues it gives me and I feel like what i'm looking for is probably right up in my face but I just don't see it. ig i'll go look there again.
  
  i've just beat the game, turns out the thing i couldn't be bothered about was very important. thank you for getting me to bother about it :D
  
  If you're looking there, you're in the wrong place.
  
  I actively enjoy spoiling stuff for myself, but you didn't need to spoiler tag because I didn't understand any of it anyways
  
  this comment has been living rent free in my head since I've read it. Why do you like spoiling things for yourself?
  
  Because I don't like uncertainty and drama. Most people watch sitcoms and enjoy people getting into awkward situations. I don't. It's genuinely worse than watching anything else for me. The very thing that makes stories impactful and good makes it hard for me to enjoy them. If I know the ending, I don't have the stress of not knowing the ending.
  Sometimes I can endure it if I see value in a fresh perspective, but it makes most things more fun if I spoil it. If I enjoy it spoiled, I know it has rewatch value. If it sucks when you know the truth, that's all it had going for it.
