I did hope/thing, that a different set of obelisks would light up (perhaps with some overlap) revealing new data.
And of course that they would lead to a master site where the broken obelisks would be intact.

Are the relics the keys to unlocking more data.
Has anyone tried combinations with the assumption that each relic is unique?
Has anyone tried taking a relic from one site to another?

Astroneer is better than NMS, if only because it doesn't promise more than it delivers, and what it delivers is fun fun fun!
Here comes the moon:
Not exactly the same. But over all this distance, I'll take it!
I wonder if the different rings on the ground correspond to different moons over each ruin site.
Damn, I wish I had a better moon(rise)-shot from site 1!

Way to have people lose interest in searching for stuff. Come on Fdevs, you need to step up your game. How long before you realise that?
If it wasn't a major feature of the thread page after page after page then I'd agree - but once someone starts spamming a crackpot theory it's open to fire. Plenty of people have wild suggestions and don't do that - it's not hard to test something yourself and not spam the thread. It's hard enough finding facts in here to start with without it being filled with alternative ones.
I really want to criticize this after getting bashed for not being "accurate" myself, but I won't
lol
Pillar on 'big blob' (B1) is definitely at an angle - sites not same
Until we find a third site we will have no clue as to what the geometric pattern of this network will take the shape of. This seems to be the bigger picture if you will. I am getting the impression these sites function as network hubs that will form 'wave guides' of sorts or ''Phase Arrays'. Until we get a 3rd dimension we are in 2d it seems.
It is also possible we still have not unlocked information at the sites we know so far.

At least with Formidine when you finally find the next settlement it has a ton of new lore for you to oogle at. That in itself should be enough satisfaction for most people that are bothering to look for those places.
On the other hand, with the second ruins we got an identical repeat of the first ruins. No new lore because you can't get any new data, and the structure of the ruins is exactly the same so you can't make any new theories about the lore or culture of the Guardians.
If this is a bug, it's a pretty fatal bug as I suspect for a considerable amount of people this would have killed the hype and excitement for the ruins and any future POIs of this lore arc.
I don´t think so, honestly.I honestly feel like an idiot now knowing everything is copy+paste
No NEW data!? I was looking forward to more lore!
Wasn't that the whole point in finding new ruins? To unlock more history?
I hope to god this is a bug - otherwise I'm throwing in the towel right now and I'm not going to bother looking for the rest - because it is just madness being told my Ram Tah to look in 4 new systems with 50+ planets - only to learn IT IS ALL THE SAME!?
Wow... at least we can be sure the other 3 ruins are just copy+paste, so it MIGHT mean something else and is pointing at something else... MIGHT.
I'm going to play real life for a while, I think.
IMHO we got 1 more site with layout of alpha & beta site, as in solo You get 13 messages (at first ruin site, second one has to be verified yet), so my assumption is that there should be 3 sites of that type as we get 39 messages by data-bleed. that leaves two other structures for data-set 1-7 and 16-21..... maybe in the same manner.
my strong feeling is that we should find another two types of sites in the systems/planets where first type has been discovered....
Commanders, kindly direct your attention over here...

Right, me job's done
Have fun!
Great work and happy birthday, commander!
But looking at those pics is really saddening - it seems that it is exact copypaste of previous ruins, and there is no reason to expect other ruins being any different. Thi leads to a conclusion that there is no puzzle behind ruins either... so much for all the tinfoil-hattery and wasted brain power for nothing. Thanks for spitting in the face, FDev...

It does make me wonder what FD are trying to do.
I must admit, I suspected that the sites would look the same.
I still suspect that each relic tower represents each system, although just can't work out how each part of that site shows what planet/moon there on. If at all it does?
I am however just a little disappointed that the new site is, it seems a copy and paste? Same fallen down walls and such like.
Just a little editing to make it feel like your in a different place? Copy and paste for such a thing is hard hitting on the immeshion.

Sitting from more or less the same position, the moon seems to rise from approximately 208 degrees, where as the centre line from the 'key' part of the ruins appears to lie approximately long the 183 degree mark.

After all that eyeballing this is a sad result and other ruins will be like this.
Will people keep spending hours of their lives looking for other copy/pasted ruins ?
I know I won't. And I'm pretty sure most people won't bother any further.
I'm in the middle of recording long time-lapse video from the second site at the moment so I can't test this idea and forgive me if it's already been tried.
Have with tested that the extra obelisks that activate in open/PG might be caused by the items carried by other commanders in their SRVs?
Could it be that dropping the correct items near one set obelisks causes a different obelisk than normal to become active somewhere else in the ruins?
I intend capturing 6 or more hours, depending on random server errors. Once I've finished that I'll try to test this myself assuming no one has already disproved it.
