Other 2 ruins located somewhere on a line aproximately 1300km from the ruins, yes.
The line was derived with help of putting in tetrahedron with two of its points being ruins and planet centre. It is actually 3D sphere, just made a screenshot from the side to make circle line proportions to be more clear. Note that sphere has radius of 1487 instead of 12xx-something our planet has, due to my attempts to combine it with planet mapper which uses merope 5 planet, but all proportions are correct. Technically I think I can derive planet coordinates and bearing for the line, but I have been pondering over this puzzle for almost entire day and too tired, so sry, maybe tomorrow, unless someone hopefully beats me to it.

Not a bad thought, but remember, we got more data points than was planned from this site. Which means each site probably gives around 13 data messages. So 6 or 7 sites total. Maybe even more. Infact, these sites could be like barnacles. There may be dozens.
 
If SOLO is OK, the first step is enumerate the data available in solo. 13, right?

Maybe knowing which obelisk's each of these came from is a pointer?
 
Is this something we should do another spreadsheet, with routes/areas laid out using coordinates? Someone said using the correct graphics settings you can see about 1 degree +/-
yep - spreadsheet would be useful, and yep, that someone was me :) I verified an SYNUEFE XR-H d11-102 2d, where i mapped the area +457-120 - +45/-155 - +561/-120 - +61/-155 - with no luck, obviously :)

add: I seriously recommend to search along the terminator (area between day and night) as the low angle light gives good contrast by shadow, in night and high-noon ambient light it is less likely to spot something

Ok so given this Michael... if we were not suppose to find this site by the trailer alone. How are we ever gonna find the answer at this site that leads us to the next one... there is really no obvious clues. I will suspect as i have all along from the data from this site there has to be at least one more site on this moon... I suspect north but i have drive to the exact polar north coordinates and scoured the area for an hour and never found anything there. So the next question i wonder is maybe i went to far north... is this polar north or not that they were talking about a north clan? Is this the first site or the second site in the set of maybe 3 sites. We could have totaly missed the first one which would have led us here before we head to the third. IDK i believe the first site is north of here some where over a "great divide" Maybe a ravine like there are plenty of around this site..

You are right, but remember, FD changed the site with the last patch?
I have the feeling, this happened because we did not find site, they expected us to find as the first one.
Perhaps we should look more into the arrangement of the obelisks as they may lead us to the other sites. I' m also looking at the pillars. There has to be a reason for them as well.
Maybe it will help to compare the original layout with the actual one.

note that for some reason ruins have VERY crappy drawing distance, so they are very easy to miss even from 2-3 km away, so one has to be pretty much crawling on their belly to spot them from a ship.

I'm sure this was tried when XDeath first found them and everyone was trying a lot of stuff...but has anyone gone to the EXACT opposite side of the planet? As in the direct inverse of the coordinates of the ruins?

Just an oversimplified grasping at straws...but I figure there may be something to it - and I'm still wondering what's up with the blue glow coming from the ground. If someone can give me what coordinates that would be (I don't know how to calculate that) - I'll hop over to the other side of the planet and check the location.

Otherwise I'm going to fly in a 'straight' line from one of the main directions of the ruins...since everyone is checking North I'll go another way.

I have. Nothing. I also wondered if all 3 sites were on the planet and worked out the lat/log if they were equidistant, I would say nothing but at one there was a crash site (cargo blar blar).

madwax....

I came up with the recommendations for graphic settings as well as search altitude by experimenting with the known site - with the settings recommended U can see (in early / late daylight) the site from heigth 6 km and lateral distance of 10 km easily - thats also why U should keep terrain drawing distance at max and detail either, and put down the terrain material to low - otherwise the terrain material camos the structure

that would be handy. Got a link for those recommendations?
 
Alright.. for those items available in SOLO I've created lines between them using HIST to HIST, LANG to LANG, etc resulting in this

Using
BIO 7,9
HIST 8,10,11,12,14,15
LANG 8,14
TECH 7,10

If somebody has the activation order and can tell me which items unlock which items I'll redraw this using that and see if maybe something shows up visually.

Don't you just reverse the sign of the lat/long coordinates?

add 180 to both

I used to have an idea that the order of activation can be determined by what patterns you get, since each pattern corresponds to data type, and since there can be up to 2 patterns from 1 scan, that can correspond to what items you need to have in your srv. Then you look up what obelisk activates with that item combination, and activate it, and so on. I tested it only once and it did not worked due to me eventually getting pattern combo that I already scanned/did not had obelisk for, but maybe it can depend on where you start scanning or something. Just something to think about.

on the other hand how can we be sure that every site will give the same amount of active obelisks....? every site can have different amount of em active.

so we just have to scan all the planets in the whole system? why doesn't the advance planet scanner give us any info on the planet if there is anything unusual! that should be possible right? :p
 
I'm not sure if this has been seen before, but I drove past an obelisk and I heard music. so I thought id use spec and i got these blocks coming up....
ASsCLmU
did it over 3,5 and 10 min didn't see any pattern but thought people out there may see something i didn't . oh and i tried to find out what the music was but i don't have good enough software to clean it up.. (could all be a red herring sorry)
 
If anywhere on this planet, ruins would be located here.


Due to lack of tools/know-how, I cant provide more exact line coordinates unfortunately, but I am sure some1 here will be able to combine this info with planet mapper and give us long. and lat. coordinates to fly by.

As someone mentioned, on of lore entry mentioned north, so it might be a good idea to start scanning this circle from the northern parts of it.

It's a good idea, but please bear in mind that others have similar geometric based suggestions with different shapes and different alignments, all of which would result in different circles, all of which are just as valid.
 
put ur garphic settings to ultra, disable blurr and bloom, terrain texture quality to low, flight altitude ~6 km - that way U cover +/- 1° lattitude/longitude and fly a mesh pattern of 2 ° equidistance.

Ahh awsome, thx n rep!
Was about to bruteforce through my Graphicsettings to get best results for surface observation :)
Imho turning off shadows seem to help also
