Fair enough, I must concede that it's probably not for everyone...
It's worth mentioning that most of the places that are hard to reach do have hidden shortcuts, that makes them much easier to get to, once you learn the shortcut.
Also you can enable a setting that pauses the game while you are reading Nomai text, or talking to people.
There's an interesting video on YouTube by TeeHallums who investigated why some people bounce off of Outer Wilds, in the video he also interviews Alex Beachum (the creative director for Outer Wilds), and discovers an interesting pattern in all the people he has experienced bouncing off the game: https://youtu.be/msABa06aiT0
Were there ever shortcuts that didn't require taking off from the home planet and landing on a second one?
I feel like in my time, I discovered a series of shortcuts. They still didn't make things fun to repeat to finally figure out what exactly you were supposed to gain from an area.
No, there's never any shortcuts that doesn't require you to fly to the other planets...
There is autopilot, so you don't have to fly completely manually. But you will still have to take off and land yourself. And wait while autopilot flies to the destination.
For me, this bit became complete muscle memory, and a bit of time to reflect and contemplate what I had learned. Almost a bit meditative.
But yeah... If it only ever felt annoying and cumbersome to you, then I can certainly see why the game wouldn't be enjoyable.
The autopilot does not work. On multiple occasions it caused me to crash directly into a drifting object, or veered well out of its way to dive into the sun.
Yeah, it's lacking an avoidance system, as Slate will also tell you, so just make sure there's nothing between you and your destination when you activate it.
