Please be aware that this week is fully booked for me, and I am also recovering from a spinal injury. As such, updating to Relics 5.60 will likely occur over the UK Easter holidays 5th - 20th April, though I may lay some groundwork before then. Apologies for the delay.

FINDING BUILDINGS

Found With:

Ruin

Cartographer Map - Alien Cartographic Data (Ancient Artifact Site)

Exocraft Signal Booster Upgrade Tau

Landing on your Exploration Frigates

Marked by Observatory

A relic of an bygone civilization with buried treasures or ancient knowledge.

A variant can also be found underwater. This type has 3 treasure boxes & an oily object that will award either a Trident Key for those boxes or a treasure of its own; depending on the player's choice while interacting with it.

Additional Information:

Each Ruin is unique but sometimes systems will present similar or identical ruins if systems are in close proximity to each other. Ruins come in different designs; some look like two-floor brick houses while others are similar to a mosque. Ruins provide:

Type 1 - Knowledge

Alien words (normally 2-3 word per Ruin; some Ruins will provide up to four words)
Increased standing with the faction depends which species wrote it after an interaction with the memoir device.

Type 2 - Treasure:

A chance of finding Artefact Fragments and Large Artefact Crate

Interaction:

Contents Of Building:

There are 2 types of Ruins. Type 1 typically have 2 or 3 Knowledge Stones accompanied by a memoir device similar to the ones placed in front of a Plaque. The memoir includes partial lore that depends on which of the factions built the ruin. Interaction with the memoir device grants players a new word. The lore is continuous by faction; it will continue where the faction's last lore had been revealed.

Some ruins have the remains of a Gek statue, which can be a heritage from the domination period of the Gek First Spawn.

Type 2 instead has buried trasures & most of the structure will also be underground.
