I need a bit of help

So for context. I've sunk around 3 hours into the game. Split into like 3 sessions. The first one was really fun, getting into my ship and all and heading out to the nearby moon. But then I went to Brittle Hollow cause my little map thingy said something about it. Then I spend like an hour getting frustrated about how I kept dying or getting sucked into the black hole and making no progress and I put the game down. I came back two other times and that basically repeated. I'm a bit lost and confused and frustrated with Brittle Hollow and don't really know what to do. I ended up shelving the game for like a solid month and a half now due to me playing both Nine Sols and the Witcher 3 so I'm probably gonna restart the game fresh once I get around to it again. I know I'm probably stupid but I really want to like this game and get into it and I think I need some help. Please don't spoil anything for me tho, I have heard that this game is amazing with zero spoilers.
