The 3rd discovered site actually sounds more like the "alpha" site as it seems we are getting stuff that makes some of the info from the 1st discovered site make sense.

A tinfoil hat isn't any good here the rays still get though - I'm wearing a good solid metal colander instead. First discovered site was a test site that FD didn't expect to be found and was to be removed before the puzzle went live (and it should have always been on the planet where the 2nd found site is - (hence why it is the same and that there are only four beacons ) but couldn't remove it after it had been discovered.

I'm not taking this hat (colander) off for anyone though - you're not stealing my thoughts....
 
I'm still not convinced that my maths is correct. Plotting my JavaScript version gives lines across the moon path which don't appear to be normals to the direction. I'm looking into it and once I've corrected it I'll change the spreadsheet to match.

I was kind of hoping that angles were angles and that the radius of the planet wouldn't be involved in the calculations (where the mounds have fixed angular differences) - is that not the case?

That is my thought as well.
 
Next time you go to type any iteration of "I told you so", don't. Would be a giant leap in the right direction.

Sorry, wasn't aware I insinuated that :/

Aside from the new biology data etc, that came out today :D but that was in [based on] another thread (here) where I received just as much criticism and got nailed on a cross by some in the forums.

Not a bad theory, except there is no evidence that FD tested the ruins before putting them live :p

Since the circles of the ruin don't scale in size as the planet does. There has to be a relative size. That's where the radius comes in such that an observer at the center sees the moon rise and set at the circles. The larger the planet... the further from the orbit the ruin has to be to make that work

One of the more reasonable explanations!

Still shoddy AF but all the parts do fit.
 
Looking at the orbital lines of the D2 right now. Problem is that these two bodies - D2 and D3 are tidally locked to each other. Not to the star, because D2 does not have an orbit around its star. Therefore IMO the only place where the ruin can be is directly beneath the moon.
