Even if I still do not think there is a "riddle" to solve in the Relics site (apart from guessing what is it...), I'd like to believe so.

I double that. I think everybody is used to the crazy and wonderful riddles we got earlier and now people are trying to find one even in the smallest of details.
Maybe this is just what it is - we are archaeologists exploring an abandoned city.
Not a Lost Ark contraption thing where putting three Indiana Joneses on the left pressure pad and four on the right will make a black hole appear that goes to another galaxy. (however I really would enjoy being wrong on this one)

My scenario would be that the 6 ancient commodities will be used to donate and unlock a new engineer/section with Palin. The Data collected (like all other engineering mats in packets of three) will be used for mods from said engineer.
So in that scenario it means that now we have to wait for the next part. For example until after the current Maia CG finishes.

I'd love it if the devs said there's more to be found.
It'd make me want to explore a whole lot more actually

That's great! Then get out there because we know there's more to be found.

"The community seems wary of awarding these artefacts any title yet, given the fifty years of false hopes since Soontill was first mentioned by the Thargoids."
Thargoids mentioned soontill to us???

You haven't noticed that before now?

Someone needs to go back to thread 1 and re-read some stuff me thinks... ;-)

how many of these pits with artifacts in as i have found 2 that are not shown on the big map we have.
Are more popping out the ground?

Can you mark on a map where you have found these so others can cross reference?

There are 4 in total. they sound like crashed nav beacons on your wave scanner.

So I am perplexed. I though I know how I want to position regarding to each of sets of obelisks, but I can't find any absolute point in terms how i should be rotated... Bonus - top view of obelisk with highlighted triangle (one of 9).

with no sing of crystals ???

If you're playing in open or a group there is a probability that someone already "harvested" them.

happened to me to, it was a bug where relic would fall through the ground
changing from open to solo seemed to fix it for me

Lance Huntsman · Oct 28, 2016

Hey all. I finally made it to the Alien Ruins...only to be met by three ships blowing up anyone who showed up. I will go back in tonight in solo to explore the site!

Not trying to sound dense but what is the main consincious of where to start exploring for other sites?

Thanks!

Has anyone brought relics and the crystal to the crashed thargoid ship?

That's awesome, was wondering if anyone else had figured it out...nicely done! Are any of you on Xbox by chance? Would love to join up.

Have you found another planet in the system that matches the video or are you focused in on 3A as well? Was planning on doing another tour of all of the bodies today to check but if you guys have already done so it may save me a ton of trouble. 3A just looks like a perfect color match with the sun either rising or setting, but I'm pretty sure that if the ruins are actually here, then the orientation of the planet or skybox must've changed from their test servers. I have circled the planet probably 4-5 times between 12-26 degrees north latitude and haven't been able to find it.

Come on by and we'll throw you a wing invite! We've got a bunch of different folks involved in this project with at least half a dozen possible candidate planets that folks are searching. I've got a few hunches myself that I'm trying to follow but the more eyes we get on this the quicker we can find something here.

Can't get more than 2 patterns at the same time when scanning the obelisks. Asking myself if getting 3 could trigger one new obelisk, since apparently only one is active in each group. Also, some are destroyed ...how's that ??? Couldn't have been bad weather causes...Combats ? Asking myself how is related the pattern inside the relics with those of the obelisks. Tinfoil hat spinning hot ! Must have a biscuit urgently ...

Soon 1Ba will be in "line"

In the process of doing one now

Sterlino · Oct 28, 2016

i fear that this is the puzzle, with the right key we will open the ''door'' O-o

Fdevs must have a good reason for embedding a pattern inside the relics along with that "alien" figure...

We have 8 total planets of interest that we're 'deep diving' into...
