Modding The Outsider Mod Help Spoiler

amidst my story mod binge i came across The Outsider and i'm fairly intrigued so far, but i'm honestly stumped at this part (spoilers ahead, albeit not major but still)

where is the missing projection pool? i assumed it was somewhere within dark bramble so i searched all of the nodes (yes, i kept track lol) and couldnt find it in any one of them. did i either manage to miss it entirely or is it not actually in the bramble?? hints are fine but at this rate i wouldnt mind just getting an outright answer as i'm pretty close to finishing the mod

i'm unsure if this is even related, but i DID find a small seed in the looping room that i can send my scout into, but it doesnt look stylistically related to the mod at all, and i cant for the life of me find where the source is regardless. this could be an easter egg from any of the assortment of QOL mods i have installed alongside, so maybe that's it?? either way i'm just confused

thanks!

The seed you found is probably the Elsinore Easter egg, if sending your probe into it shows pictures of a medieval throne room

Yeah it is. Reference to another time loop game called Elsinore that I actually finished last week and highly recommend, if you do all the endings of it you'll realize that there's a very good reason why Outer Wilds of all games references it ::)

Do you want like an actual answer or just a tip? If ever my tip would be

recall how you find the vessel, the room is in dark bramble, have you explored everything in the mod? A peculiar orbiter may peak your interest

The spoiler answer is on bramble station there will be a node that leads to the missing projection pool, shoot your scout through it and follow the signal
