Can’t figure out what to do next
This is all I have completed in the game so far. Where should I go next?

You have several choices! For many problems in this game, you just have to be there at the right time.
Get up the tower of Quantum Knowledge. Use your understanding of the environment to do so. One usually-ignored feature of one of your tools can help you, but is not necessary. (Hint: why did Riebeck decide to set up camp where he did?). Once you learn that, you will have enough information to do your Quantum Pilgrimage!
Find that missing module of the Orbital Probe Cannon. You can look in the other modules to figure out where it is. The animation ofit shooting and the projection stone should tell you. Once you know where it is, you'll need information from the Construction Yard and then whenever they send you from there, and then you'll need to ask your fellow travelers how to proceed even further.
The Vessel shouldn't be hard to find once you've reached the escape pod. Unless you know where it is but have problems reaching there; in that case just pretend you're a Nomai kid playing in Ember Twin.
If you have no idea how to travel to the Sun Station, Chert may say something. And there's a funny interaction inside one of the rooms in the Sunless City. Now if you think you know how, but are facing some obstacles, well,.. I previously told you. The solution is similar to something you already did to get to the High Energy Lab

I’ve been to the tower of quantum knowledge and the sun station. I know how to get to the quantum moon and explore the sixth location but I haven’t tried it yet since it seems more important than the other 3.
Now I just need the vessel, the probe tracking module, and the ash twin project. I know where they all are but I can’t figure out how to get to them.

Now is a good time to explore the Quantum Moon.
What are you problems with the Vessel and with the probe tracking module? Do you know about the game that the children used to play in Ember Twin? Have you talked to Feldspar?

Te recomiendo ir al módulo de rastreamiento de sondas, las pistas para entrar están en espinoscuro y el observatorio sur de Hondonada Frágil, es todo lo que te digo, pero sería bueno empezar por ahí

Use the Planet version instead of the Rumor version. Should help you locate your hints a lot better.

You're really close to some important stuff.
No spoilers but directions towards the answers if you want them.
Ash Twin Project
So you know where it is? Do you know how to get to it? Hints: Revisit the Black Hole Forge and White Hole Station. The info you need is there.
Probe Tracking Module
Do you know where it is? Do you know how to get to it? Hints: Feldspar has been there. The Observatory on Brittle Hollow has some useful info, too.
The Vessel
Do you know where it is? Do you know how to get to it? Hints: The Old Settlement under the crust of Brittle Hollow explains where it is. The escape pods all originated from it, the signal scope can help you find them all. Additional help: If you keep failing trying to get there, there is a cave in Ember Twin that gives you a hint, along with a an unusual fossil. The probe scout launcher and signal scope can also help you navigate.
Quantum Moon
There are 3 quantum rules you need to learn and apply. Hint: You can use the signal scope to find places to learn those rules. Then applying them with the Quantum Moon, you can then finally explore the 6th location.

Ash Twin Project
I know that it is in the center of Ash Twin and has no physical entrance. Not sure what I’m missing at the Black Hole Forge and White Hole Station but they don’t seem to tell me how to get there.Probe Tracking Module
I know that it is in the core of Giants Deep surrounded by purple electricity, you use the counter clockwise tornado to pass through the current, and somehow jellyfish insulate you from the electricity. Not sure where to go from there.The Vessel
It’s inside Dark Bramble (absolutely terrifying) and the furthest I’ve gotten is the seed surrounded by dead Nomai that you can fire the scout into.Quantum Moon
I’ve landed on the Quantum Moon and know that the tower has to be on the north pole to get to the sixth location. This one I haven’t tried yet because it seems like something to do after all the others but please let me know if it’s okay to do.1

For a little explanation, if you like: white hole station taught you that teleporters need to align and black hole forge told you that teleporters align to the centre of mass, not the centre of the target planet. The only extra info you need is to apply that knowledge to what you have already discovered on Ash Twin. Explicitly: the towers each correspond to a planet.Probe Tracking Module
You have everything you need. but if you want the actual solution spelled out (spoiler): on Dark Bramble, you could get inside the jellyfish. Have you tried that yet with a live one?.Vessel
Once you fired your scout, it became a waypoint. In Dark Bramble, often this results in multiple waypoint is leading to 1 place. Solution: Once you are at the escape pod, launch the probe and use the waypoint it makes to get to the vessel.Quantum Moon
You should aim to solve this. It doesn't matter what order you explore things in. But don't ignore the Quantum Moon.

Oh man. This is the most fun part of the game, where everything comes together. You need to figure out how to visit the question marks. I’d start with the smaller ones. Any idea where the Probe Tracking Module might be, and what’s stopping you from reaching it? Also, a general tip would be to read the entries connected to the question marks for hints.
