If you mean LOS then no its not true. The planets rotate and sometimes the other ruins are in LOS and sometimes not. Sometimes none are in LOS.

Yeah, seems there are some sounds I'm not familiar with, but my memory of the other sites is too patchy to be sure.
good luck with THAT, according to my system-map it isnt landable
Yep was talking about LOS. That the planets/moons rotate is clear, but if beeing tidally locked there would have been the chance that LOS is not lost upon rotation around their parent/parents rotation aroud main body....

Unless the ancient sites would be on the poles and the poles of the planets would point towards each other, it's not possible for a permanent LOS, tidally locked or not. But anyway, they don't always have LOS, hence why it's possible that maybe the moon is used to bounce the signals.

I checked that, there is no direct LOS all the time.
F14 with Urn+Urn gives Bio 2
its actually AB 3

I also noticed that this is another body that is close to 66%rock 33% metal (the other 2 with this ratio have ruins on them
i have scans for the 1st 4 landables in the system if required.
been pottering around -30/60 on AB3 for the last hour but nothing so far. (at least its light and the terrain is easy to spot stuff on.)

I wondered where I had left that!

Might be better if non of us presume all alien ruins are on a planet, maybe some are orbiting, this is just a guess, and because I like curve balls + out of left field.
Everyone please remember to update your findings in this document (which is totally not mine).

I honestly believe the monoliths and the ground markings around them, together represent a numerical system and the ruin shape itself their language in Glyth form.
Does anyone have a clean image of the Monoliths (separate) and the Ruin morphology just as a diagram... not a screen grab?

They will all be on landables, data is only achievable through srv scanner with certain items in hold. Might be something funky in space, but not a ruin site.
OK. So - my calculator works EXCEPT there's an issue.
I was assuming that some known detail about the orbital bodies would be used as the "starting point" for the moon orbit - the arg of periapsis for example, or even the arbitrary 0-degrees-longitude on the planet, but the only way (as far as I can tell) that I can start my curves off so they align reliably is through observation of at least a single point in the moon's orbit, then adjusting (courtesy the periapsis value I already put in) to line it up. That sounds hacky - there must be a way of aligning the moon orbit parametrically...

D2 is almost the same.
Also confirming your findings at Site 3 - Area B
B12 - Totem + Relic - Culture 1
B21 - Orb + Totem - Tech 6
I tried every possible combination involving either the Orb or the Totem, including singles and doubles but I didn't unlock B15 or B20.
Is the moons orbit considered relative to 0,0 or do you need another data point to derive that from?
