xbox one graphics oh and gamma turned up
I think that's just a graphics glitch. I seem to remember someone posting about the barnacles doing something similar.
There are "spoilers"... People who are scraping files and posting them here as pictures
(as you've mentioned)They're quickly removed by the mods (thanks guys <3 ), but yea. If you're unlucky you'll see something you don't want to see at the moment.
I was the one who said, that he's a troll.
But as you've mentioned. If there is no evidence, that he as achieved something special and people are desperately waiting for an answer, there'll be someone calling somebody a troll.
(i said it this day, because we had in only 5 hours 3 people who just talked "****" and claimed it then...)

Hey. I'm not sure if you saw my reply from last night (depending on where you live I guess) but I went to -32, -128 on the first ancient ruin planet and it is very far from the actual ruins, also, someone else said that 0.1 = 18 km! So rounding from 128,97 to 128 is a quite big distance. Took me like 12 minutes to find the ruins after visiting -32,-128 though the site was graphically bugged too.
I'm new to the forums, and all my posts go through moderators for spam checking so I'm not sure if the people I quote get notified once the mods release my replies into the wild..
Trust me its not that far. Every time I go down on lat/log (sounds roud) I spend a good 10->15min going back and forth over the area, If I get a long pause on entering the glide I'll spend even more time.
On the subject of 1deg = xkm I've seen people write stuff like that but were dealing with Lat/Log not a fixed grid system so it's mearly next to useless. You can say on average, 1deg of lat = ( [pie] * planet diameter )/360 and that at the equator 1deg of long = 1deg of lat (on average). But you are ignoring the distance between lines of long. decrease the high or lower you go and real heights at a lat/log. Don't get me wronge it's usefull and rant over
madwax....
You all dwell far too much when someone asks a question your don't like

Three questions
1: does anyone have the link to the site with the obelisk face patterns on it
2: Does anyone have the link to the images of the relic tower sides
3: Are all the space trees localized to one planet in each system they've been found in?
My mother is in on this, she managed to figure out all the puzzles in the entire MYST series, so maybe she can solve this. Trying to gather a baseline of all the data we have at our disposal

See my quoted post below. I think there is some merit to this idea of yours.
Wanted to take a few minutes to throw some ideas into the pot. I've seen a lot of ideas being passed around and the following points seem to make the most sense to me.
Firstly, FD changed the layout of the site once the first ruins discovery was made. This could be for the following reasons:
- It was wrong when it was initially implemented
- It was adjusted to allow for finding the next sites in the link
Second, the changed items were the layout of the pillars and some of the obelisk groups. This would indicate that they were all relevant to the puzzle in some way.
Third, the pillars seem to line up with three or four of the new systems. This has got me thinking that perhaps each site maps the location of the closest three outposts/ruins that the guardians had. For those pillars to be a useful map they need to 'anchor' on something known. The anchor probably makes most sense to be the planet the ruins are on. If there wasn't an anchor, you could find a group of four star systems that have that shape anywhere and at almost any scale.
In commenting on this third point, my only issue with that is that why would FD change the layout? Surely each site they've put down has a similar combination system. It shouldn't matter whether this was the first, second or fiftieth site so long as all had a similar pattern embedded in them to help find the next systems to search.
Fourth, the obelisk layout must have some bearing on things. It does at times feel like the group of obelisks 'point' towards something. But at this point what that is doesn't seem clear. There are no theories I've seen so far that add up properly.
Fifth, the layout of the rest of the site seems intentional, but doesn't seem to relate to the puzzle directly in the same way the pillars and obelisks do. Has it changed between when it was discovered to what we have now? I heard someone mention something about one of the pyramids, but I can't find where that was. If no change, it seems less useful, if it was changed, it implies the whole of the ruins relates to the next step in the clue.
Thinking further on the layout of the remainder of the site, I find it odd to think that the layout relates to something based on the layout/sector map of the other systems over the layout/sector map of the current system. After all, if the four pillars are used to refer to at least three other systems, then how come the ruins only seems to indicate one system layout?
Perhaps the clue in this is that it works to identify key features of the current/original ruins system that then can become the key elements we are looking for in the new systems? Plenty of comments have been made on the idea of a dual planet or a planet with a large moon. Rings have been mentioned, etc. But whatever the relationship, it needs to be consistently and reasonably applicable. For example the rings, why do they break? Either the breaks point to something, or they can't be representative of unbroken rings?
Sixth, perhaps the main site represents something not astronomical. Could it be based on the atomic level like as follows:
https://i0.wp.com/www.sciencemusicvideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/04_carbon-atom.png
I don't know enough about physics to present a really sound thesis on this idea, but it might be that someone with more knowledge sees a pattern in that? Perhaps that an atomic level answer might be the key to looking at the chemical makeup of the planets they use?
Seventh, on commenting on the likenesses of the Egyptian pyramids and monuments, and also Stonehenge, there is a problem there. They don't work on the same sort of astronomical layout. For example Stonehenge is focused on what can be seen of the local planets and moon and sun rather than being related to the bigger cosmos beyond it. Whereas Egyptian pyramids 'might' have a relationship to the bigger cosmos out there.
If the latter is the case then perhaps the layout of the stars in the sky as observed from that moon that match up with location of the four pillars is relevant? Though that wouldn't explain the change in the layout between their first discovery and now.
I'm inclined to the Egyptian star maps idea more than the Stonehenge methods because Ram Tah seems to be of Egyptian heritage, there are pyramids at the site, and the layout of the four pillars does seem to have some relationship to a star map.
Hope these comments/ideas help narrow down the search.
Alright, got back to analyzing the obelisk sounds and I was already writing down the sequences when I finally noticed that the signals are quite strongly time-aligned. See the 3 pictures below (last one is forcefully time-aligned to seconds and is missing the beginning of the string, but the point remains).
So it seems to me that the smallest "time-step" is half a second. At times the blocks seem to not align up as perfectly as they could, but when you look more closely at them, they are still pretty much time-aligned (not to mention the recording has some noise from the usual obelisk rumbling!).
I will be doing another long recording now, just to gain a bit more data (though I personally think it is irrelevant to have that much data, 3 to 6 strings would probably give us an idea of what they mean).

no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no. Never do this. Ever.
If you want FDev to ban your account, you're on the right track. Not only is it a breach of the eula it's frankly unsportsman-like and we don't want to know.
If anything is to become of the idea that the Relic beacons are meant to represent 4 of the provided systems, then maybe one of the guys suggesting this should fly out to the point in space where they align, as that is the next logical step you need to take. Not much can be done with that theory otherwise; you will need to go to a point in space where that idea is actually relevant.
Since Frontier were stifled by xDeath finding the ruins entirely via a shot of the stars in a video, it's possible they moved the beacons in order to troll us by giving us a star puzzle that was meant to be solved in such a fashion. However there is not going to be any visual light of the stars in question in the sky at that location, or the current ruins for that matter, all of that brings into question why the puzzles creator would use the relics to represent such distant systems? It doesn't make sense.
My money is on the beacons representing nothing, or something else entirely.

You mean data mining the game files?
That is much FROWNED UPON here!
Don't spoil the mystery by cheating, please.
Just checking in.
Anyone do anything more with the beacon glyphs / binary code idea?
If someone could be as kind as to PM me the glyph images, or a link to them, and I can continue my research in to my theory.
Unfortunately the images are well and truly buried in this thread, spent a good few minutes skimming for it already, with no luck.
