Ok so...... I cant hand in this mission :(
I accepted it from Ram Tah's base, Phoenix base. When you go back there, the option to hand in doesnt exist as there is no mission board.
If you go to Felice dock the option doesnt exist as it wont appear on the mission board.

So, im stuck, I have about finished with scanning at 21 found, i want to hand this in and get my credits :(

my pal had that same issue last night, he had to drop the mission in the end and pick it back up at Felice dock and re-scan everything
 
Ok, that's strange. I've also noticed that G19 isn't listed on this sheet

I'll turn G10 to inactive until someone else confirms it should be active in Solo.

The sheet we've created only lists the active obelisks with confirmed combinations. Not all active obelisks (including the standard active ones in solo) have confirmed combinations. So we don't put them in the spreadsheet. We have a testing tab on the spreadsheet which we're showing what we are currently working on.

I handed the mission in last week after 13 scans. Got it back and now I have 32. Is there any way to determine which 4 are missing? I have 36 successful messages in my inbox. So at least I got hand on all 36.
 
I take it you can only collect 36 in a private group or open with other cmdrs present, seems to me 13 is all I can get in solo or in a private group alone.

From what's been reported, if you hand in and don't delete all your messages confirming correct combination, you won't get them again when you're at the ruins. This is the only way you can confirm what data you've collected other than scanning what you seen and checking if your reward goes up.

So as we all now know all the combinations for the artefacts and obelisks, I am finally closing the Ruins Survey.
Well, firstly you guys did an absolutely superb job - thank you all for taking part and recording very accurate data!

We can now state that all available Obelisk/Artefact combinations have now been confirmed from using the survey data, and other various sources of scans made by other groups of players.
You can find the list of combinations from http://tinyurl.com/h3sxadg (thanks to CMDR Mortlestiltskin and his group).

Now we need to find the other sets of ruins.

Thanks again folks!

Hello CMDR Kaltern,

Do you mind reopening the survey sheet but only for the ruins that are marked Active but without the correct artefact combinations so that people can still try them out? (even if all the combinations have been tested out so that we could verify extensively)

The ones I'm talking about are the yellow obelisks as pictured here:

If it helps, this spreadsheet lists G19,
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...KpHDY0ZMl-JtG51tr8-syePTIs/edit#gid=520477356

You can tell it's easily accessible by the number of combinations listed compared to others.

Understood that G19 is active & accessible, just not sure which Game Mode is it active in. CMDR Bl1p (2 above your post) claims he couldn't see it in solo.

1) It might be possible that you have triggered something that Bl1p hasn't in solo mode.
2) But from Michael Brooks' reply, it shouldn't matter which Game Mode. Would be great if he can get confirmation of this first.
3) It is also possible that because CMDR Bl1p already has History 08, this particular obelisk isn't turning on for him (or vice versa)

Cheers!

Umm, guys? It seems like there are some obelisks that are not shown on map, but they light up near me.

Compare this to official map:

Am I just seeing things, or obelisks 14 and 16 are actually working? But obelisks 3 and 13 are not working for me unfortunately.

Which Game Mode? Solo? Open?

Also; unsure if it has been mentioned here before:

When you scan an obelisk, even though you have the RIGHT combination - you might not get a notification or a reward - that's because some obelisks report data that is exactly the same as another obelisk that you have already scanned. So you'll just be standing there blank not sure what happened with your scan.

So those active obelisks without artefact combos might be perceived to be without a correct combination because you already have that data, so we'll need a third kind of note to say we scanned with this and that but nothing happened (no rejection message) - that way it could be verified later by a new pilot.

There shouldn't be a difference between the modes - that sounds like a bug.

Michael

I hope you had a good holiday, now you're back hopefully we can get some confirmation on some or all of the issues found so far.

Just to be clear we don't want clues to solving this, we just want confirmation that's it's actually solvable in it's current form, in Solo mode!
and was it suppose to be a one-shot puzzle, where if get it wrong you are screwed for trying again?
a simple audio clue or scanner message confirming the combination is correct would be nice, at the moment the only way you know is by looking at the mission reward value! ( assuming you have already got the datascan results from a previous scan or by just being in a PG/Open with the right objects in your cargo of your ship or SRV when someone else did the scan).

It was in Open.

I got no notification for scanning those. But thing is - those obelisks are not marked on map as active.

No its active I just cannot correctly scan it, as no combination works on it, with "casket" being the prime artifact.

Ahh okay, thank you for that clarification. It is Casket + Orb. Maybe you already have History 08 from another obelisk, thus making you believe the combo is wrong, but it isn't?

Im in solo and cas + orb is G20 from my results...?

Thanks, I've marked these two as active with no combos for now (Open Play): http://www.nusantara.com.my/EliteDangerous/ruins1.html

I think the same cargo combinations could be used on multiple obelisks. For example, Orb+Casket is also used to activate Tech 09 at E03

No combination with Casket works on G19 in solo for me. Thanks though.
