Quality of Life Improvements

Known Issues
- The Halloween Vampire teeth currently have a spooky but fun issue where the damage is much higher than we want them to be. Enjoy for now but expect the damage numbers to reduce in future.
- In this update we have started to make some large (but mainly hidden!) changes to the ways that multiplayer modes connect to each other, which will also allow you to connect with others on other PC games platforms. To do this, we will be using Epic Online Services (EOS), which will allow us to connect Steam players to other Steam players, and in the future also to Epic players if we make the decision to launch on that platform too. The first time you run the update, the EOS bootstrapper will need to install some updated libraries to allow the lobbies and player information to work properly, but this should only happen once.
- Steam Deck - Due to the changes weve made to multiplayer modes, some of the elements don't work with the native Steam Deck emulation: this means that the game will still launch/run, but multiplayer will not be able to be selected or used. A workaround for this is to launch the game running Steam Deck's Proton software in Experimental Mode. Multiplayer will then be available as normal. We will continue to work on this so that we can go back to standard Steam Deck software as soon as we are able to: thanks for your patience while we work on this!

Hey Prospectors, Matt here coming at you with another fresh installment of Community Spotlight, a monthly post that takes a look at a specific TerraTech Creator from the Workshop. This month we're taking a look at some of Rafs' Mods. As one of the OG TerraTech Modders, focusing mostly on Skins, Blocks and even a whole Corporation Rafs is responsible for some of the most well-loved and well-used Mods on the Workshop. So let's take a look at some of them.
GreenTech
GreenTech
Probably their most well-known Mod, and for good reason, this WHOLE Corporation Mod uses functionality from other Mods, as well as Rafs' own Block Models and Skins to create GreenTech! There are over 300 Blocks in this Mod, covering all the different Block categories. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2750627783
Rafs' Skins Megapack
Rafs' Skins Megapack
Containing 65 Skins for all Corporations, you're sure to find your next favourite Tech aesthetic with this Skins Pack https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2102625067
Rafs' Weapons Pack
Rafs' Weapons Pack
Rafs has also published a handful of Block Mod Packs which all feature unique and fun Block types for different Corporations. My personal favourite is the Weapons Pack. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2751615466
Q&A with Rafs
We asked Rafs about their process for Modding TerraTech, what their inspiration is and what they've got planned next. Here is what they had to say: Q: What's your approach to Modding in TerraTech? What's your inspiration? A: My approach to Modding was a process that started without mods in mind. I constantly had ideas for TT blocks and cool stuff but had no means of doing it, eventually this got me so hyped that I made detailed suggestion threads at the old Forum, and even started learning 3D Modeling so I could provide concept art to those ideas (I wanted to get the devs hyped I guess lol). Eventually I had ideas for Skins and some community friends liked them and teached me how to mod skins; that's how I started. Then I thought of adding those 3D models I had already made into the game as block mods (at first, just basic blocks); that was the longest and hardest process but so rewarding. And it kept going all the way to GreenTech, always with the help of the community and older modders (which became friends that I still talk to this day!). Q: What's your advice for players starting out on their first TerraTech Mod? A: My inspiration is in many other games I played, Pokemon for example inspired some GreenTech weapons, while Anno 2070 Ecos' inspired the corp style! But the biggest inspiration will always be the game itself, and many blocks come from sessions of experiment with existing stuff. Q: Have you got any exciting new Mods planned for the future? A: For the main TerraTech game not at the moment, I am waiting TerraTech Worlds to leave early access so I can play the whole experience and maybe think of mods if I get the idea sparks, it has a lot of exciting new systems in it which are fertile grounds for experimenting :)

Welcome back to Community Spotlight - our monthly series where we take a look at a specific creator on the Steam Workshop. This month's installment we're putting the spotlight on user KN! With a range of awesome Techs and fancy Circuits & Systems Builds, KN's Workshop has got a lot of toys to play with.
RC Car Minigame
RC Car Minigame
Controlling a remote-controlled car using a joystick, you've got to navigate around obstacles, defeat enemies and destroy three conduits. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3205753594
Autodriving Traincar
Using very clever Circuits & Systems setups connect multiple cars together to create a whole train! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3228060682
Autoship
Another clever use of Circuits & Systems allows you to set the altitude of this awesome craft. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3048995951
Q&A with KN
We asked KN about their process for building Techs, what their inspiration is and what they've got planned next. Here is what they had to say: Q: What's your approach to building Techs in TerraTech? What's your inspiration? A: My approach to building techs in TerraTech is to have function with form, a large tech that looks cool, and can do stuff is always the end goal. Q: What's your advice for players starting out on their first major build? A: The best piece of advice I could give is to plan out large techs to avoid running into build limit, a tech that uses 3 long sticks of blocks to measure build limit height, width and length can prove to be very useful. However, don't feel the need to always build big, a small or medium sized tech can be just as interesting, and functional as a large tech. Also don't feel like you need to meet the expectations of veteran builders, improve your techs at your own pace and have fun with it. Q: Have you got any exciting builds planned for the future? A: I plan on finishing my first modded tech, which uses the control blocks, I've seen a couple mechs up on the workshop and I'd like to try my hand at that. the current progress is about 50% done. A modular mobile base which uses the new fastener blocks to disassemble into a base, then re-assemble into an airship for transport to a new location, similar to the modular cargo ship i've built before. A new flagship for my fleet of spaceships, my current flagship is getting a bit old.

Hey Prospectors, We asked you to ask us some questions. Which you did! So thanks to everyone who submitted one. Here are our answers to the most popular questions: Q: Are there any plans to go more in depth on the in game lore of our existing corps? It's always fun to see the history of things. A: Originally we tried to stay away from adding too much lore or backstory to TerraTech. Mainly for the fact its a Sandbox game and we want to keep it open to interpretation by the player. However, as weve added more Corporations with new Missions and content its opened the game up a lot more for this sort of thing. So weve got stuff planned for the New Corporation thats mentioned in the Roadmap but its very early days to show exactly what that will look like. But suffice it to say that yes, wed like to add more lore and history to the game. Q: What will the new corporation be used for? And what will it be called? A: Its still very early days in the development process of the New Corporation so we dont have that much info to share at the moment. We aim to bring the Community into the loop as soon as possible in the development process so we can work together on what they will bring to TerraTech. Q: are there any plans to polish the game (fix ankers, fix, wheels, fix suspension, stronger enemies,....)? right now u basicly have to use hovercrafts to move around. and can we pleace have some ingame stats for the current tech we use or for the blocks (dps, speed, weight,...) A: Weve got plenty of Quality of Life Improvements planned for future updates. These will include new features, Block balancing, and bug fixing amongst others. So if you have specific things youd like to see head over to our Discord Server and drop your ideas there so we can gather them and hopefully address them in a future update. Q: can we expect flying blocks for space junkers or perhaps RR? A: Yes! From a design perspective, there are a lot of fun things we can do with new Blocks for these corporations. Im sure there are some whacky forms of rotors or propellers that would fit perfectly with these Corps. A Leonardo Da Vinci aerial screw for Reticule Research maybe? Q: Any plans of some sort of challenge mode or gameplay modifiers for new saved games? A: Personally, and this is just me speaking, Id love to see a Hardcore game mode. With permadeath, harder enemies, fewer OP Blocks, etc. That would be super fun and add some replayability. Q: are you planning on adding more robust and less assembly-intense ways of making moveable parts on techs, like a hinge part? Perhaps with the release of Legion? A: Hinges, pistons, and hitches are inherently very difficult to implement in TerraTech. Just from the way the build systems works, there just isnt an easy way to do it. We know that this is something players want, and honestly, I think would be very fun, however, we need to weigh up the work that would go into it against the benefits it would bring. We will never say that something is impossible to do in TerraTech but I feel this is veering towards that end of the spectrum. So there you have it! Thanks again to everyone who submitted a question. Wwe'll probably do more of these in the future so If your questions wasn't answered you definitely get another chance.

Q&A with Somnolence
We asked Somnolence some questions about their experience with Circuits & Systems. Here's what they said: Q: Where did you get your inspiration to make these Circuits & Systems Techs? A: I simply set a goal and take a swing. There's a great satisfaction in both accomplishing large goals and discovering something along the way. Q: They're obviously very complicated to make so what advice would you give to any Circuits & Systems beginners? A: Make your own repertoire of individual simpler circuits first, even if they aren't the best possible; a tflipflop, memory/latch, something that splits a 2 digit number into the 1s and 10s, for example, will all grant you a much better understanding of the blocks than diving in head first. It also teaches the very important concepts of abstraction and decomposition - You can always break down a large problem into smaller ones, build individual circuits, and join them together, and you don't need to keep track of how each circuit will work exactly, just what it does. The nokia snake game's direction, movement, score, score display, apples and collision are all simply separate systems woven together. One of them's not even mine. Also there's no shame in failure. The only path to knowledge is learning. Q: Have you got any plans to build more Circuits & Systems toys, if so what are they? A: Taking a break from large TT creations and all the lag they bring to focus on programming real world things - including a raycaster engine, which might elude to a potential TT project in the distant future

Welcome... to TerraTech World - the BIGGEST and BEST theme park in TerraTech! But I need your help. I've only got a sign at the moment and a good Theme Park needs attractions. So that's where you come in. We challenge you to build rides, roller-coasters, spinney things, etc, to go into TerraTech World (not to be confused with TerraTech Worlds. The upcoming sequel to TerraTech). This challenge is being hosted on our Discord Server so if you'd like to enter head over to the #official-challenged channel for more details and to submit your entry: https://discord.gg/bSZ4s4H5

TerraTech has been released for 8 years now! WOW! In that time we've been through a lot together. Highlights include adding TWO new Corporations, Co-op Crafting, Circuits & Systems, and all the new Blocks and Features (both intended and unintended. I'm looking at you hover-bug!). We really couldn't have done it without our awesome Community (that's you by the way). TerraTech wouldn't be the game it is today without the dedicated players who offer ideas and suggestions on how we continue to support this funny little block-building game we've made. So it would mean the world to us if you could nominate TerraTech for the Labor of Love category at the upcoming Steam Awards. If you chose not to that's totally fine! There are plenty of other awesome games in this category that equally deserve the praise. Thanks!

Hey Prospectors, Matt here with some not-so-good news for you Im afraid. Unfortunately, were going to have to delay Update 1.5.2, aka The Community Update, for TerraTech. The reason is a bit long and tedious but the TL;DR is that due to a major bug creeping its way into the last TT_Unstable version were going to bundle the content that was going into 1.5.2 into what would have been Update 1.5.3. This effectively means that rather than having two awesome updates there will be one super awesome update, just a bit later than you may have been expecting. Well have more info on when the update will be released in the near future but in the meantime, if youd like to play around with the content that would have gone into this release you can have a look at the latest TT_Unstable Version. Details on how you can access the TT_Unstable version can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_ce_yPOflo NOTE: The bug occurs if the host of a Co-op Campaign game saves and restarts a server. When loading that save there will be lost Blocks and Techs. So if you do want to play around with the new content maybe stay away from the Co-op Campaign for now, otherwise, you may lose Blocks and/or Techs. You can always revert back to the latest Stable Release, Update 1.5.1, to continue your Co-op Campaign. So just to recap, here is the list of content that is now going into Update 1.5.2 (just a bit later than we planned):
- Force Gizmos

Hey Prospectors, It's finally here! Update 1.5.1, aka The Multiplayer Update, is available NOW! Craft blocks with friends (or foes) to your heart's content in Co-op! Not only that but you can now use Circuits & Systems Blocks in Co-op now too. There are also a bunch of new Circuits & Systems Blocks like gauges that output a signal, a block that controls your Tech, and loads more! We've also made some well-needed Quality of Life Improvements like a Borderless Fullscreen Option, as well as changes to a few Resource Receivers to integrate better with C&S. Enjoy! [previewyoutube=GN_Hp4QRQyQ;full][/previewyoutube]
New Blocks:

- Reticule Research Special Mixed Silo
- Reticule Research Tech Movement Controller
- Better Future Anchor Controller
New Blocks (R&D Labs DLC Only):
- Reticule Research Keybinder
Block Adjustments:
- Attach points have been added to the following blocks to integrate better with C&S:
- GSO Resource Receiver
- GSO Large Resource Receiver
- Geocorp Resource Receiver
- Venture Resource Receiver
- The Better Future Stabalising Computer now has an On/Off toggle, similar to other Tech-wide controller Blocks.
Quality of Life Improvements:
- Crafting and C&S Blocks are now available in Co-op Creative and Co-op Campaign Game Modes
- Added a Borderless Fullscreen option in the Graphics Settings
- Added a Search function in the Block Inventory
- The loading and saving of games have had some optimisation so these processes should now be quicker
- The mouse cursor will now show an icon to indicate if a block is configurable
- C&S now interacts with Crafting blocks by turning them on and off (such as Receivers, Filters, Pacemakers, Scrappers)
- C&S can now control Tech-wide control blocks to allow turning whole groups on and off (such as the BF Block controller and Hover controller)
- Beam sensor and new angled beam sensor have adjustable detection layers and beam length settings
Bug Fixes:

- Fixed an issue where Mouse would become unresponsive if the Map were closed while holding Right Mouse Button
- Fixed an issue where the Stabilisers remained active after a Better Future Cab was added to a Tech
- Fixed an issue with the Better Future Anti-Grav Engines' area of effect being slightly offset
Known Issues:
- Crafty Mike Missions aren't currently available in Co-op Campaign. This will limit how soon you can access Crafting Blocks. The current workaround is to use Payload Terminals to access them or try your luck at Trading Stations.

Hello Prospectors! Weve been very busy lately with various different secrets, but heres one weve been working on that were very excited to share with you Have you heard of a little thing called co-op crafting? Before we get into that, however, wed like to thank everyone who answered our recent player survey. The feedback was really useful and while some of it was things youve already been telling us, it was really helpful for us to have it all in one place. And it was also really interesting to see that thousands of you are still interested in co-op crafting. Well, we listened - and were really excited to tell you that we can finally make co-op crafting a reality. It hasnt been an easy job, but we think weve got it. Thats right - co-op crafting is officially coming to TerraTech. [previewyoutube=dI64IePmgcU;full][/previewyoutube] Before you get too excited, wed just like to note that this means the co-op crafting blocks are coming to multiplayer, but not all the missions (for example, the Crafty Mike missions won't be available) - although this is something well look at further down the line! While it might not be the full experience, were confident its exciting enough that itll be a real game-changer for the multiplayers among us. So get ready for the next Steam update for TerraTech - coming the week of 10 July (although as always, development is subject to change). Not only will this include co-op crafting, but itll also introduce Circuits & Systems into multiplayer! So let your friends know and get your party together, because the TerraTech Multiplayer Update is on its way! As well as co-op crafting and C&S multiplayer, well have some smaller multiplayer changes, so keep an eye out for the patch notes to learn more. And for console players, your next update will be soon. It wont include co-op crafting or Circuits & Systems, but were still working on getting those out to you, and well let you know when we have a set date. And as for some of the other survey topics - all we have to say is, watch this space

Join Matt and Johnny at 4pm UK Time today as we take a FIRST LOOK at the new Circuits and Systems blocks that are coming to TerraTech!
[ 2022-11-30 16:00:43 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hey, Prospectors!
Its been a while, right? As a studio weve been quite quiet lately, but its been a busy time for us behind the scenes. Were starting to get to grips with how we work now that lockdowns ended and were moving back into the studio, as well as changes that have had to be made over the last few years, but weve come out in a place where were really excited about the future.
The studio is now 40 people and counting and were still looking for new team members (check out our jobs page for more info!) and were working on multiple projects (which you might start to hear about soon).
But first, we want to talk to you about TerraTech
Introducing Circuits and Systems.
Our next big focus is looking at automation tools and blocks. The idea behind these is to create a more interesting tool set in TerraTech well be using this ourselves but we also want to share it with you, so that you can create really fun and new gameplay scenarios for both yourself, and to share with others.
We really think these new blocks will allow you to be extra creative, and build things that we never thought possible before! This allows you to make anything from an automated door to a brand new minigame and more. Your imagination is the only limit
The new blocks include Time Blocks, Input Blocks, Actuator Blocks, Logic Blocks, Wireless Blocks, Carrier Block, Display Blocks and Value Modifier Blocks. If this sounds confusing, dont worry weve got a lot to show you before the blocks drop in game.
Well also be starting small, and showcasing the easier blocks in order to ease you into it. Youll learn about this new update through livestreams, blogs and videos, and the builds will get bigger and better as the weeks go on. This means that when the update hits TerraTech, youll be ready to jump in!
As we add parts of this update to TerraTech, theyll be first introduced into R&D Labs, and youll be able to drop into the game and try them out while theyre still experimental. If you dont own R&D Labs, you can either pick it up here, or you can wait until the blocks are introduced into the main game further down the line. We dont have a definite date to give you on this yet, but when we do, you can be sure youll hear about it.
Were also bringing you in as part of the development process this means well be talking about and showing some of our blocks which wont be in the initial release of this content. Instead, theyre planned for later updates, and well be taking your thoughts and feedback into account.
But even before any of the blocks hit R&D, wed love for you to start telling us what you like and dont like about them on our forums, Discord, Twitter, anywhere you want to reach us and which part of the feature youd like to see next.
We want this feature to be developed with your insight and support and feedback and well be talking to you about the new content the entire time. Well be figuring this out together, and hopefully this means youll have the opportunity to help shape future TerraTech content.
Another thing were doing to be more open with you is making our internal HackNPlan board public. This means youll be able to sign up to HackNPlan and view our TerraTech development in real time. Youll probably mostly be seeing bugs that were planning on fixing but were excited to be more transparent. If this is something youre interested in, well be sharing instructions on how to sign up next week.
Youll be able to get your first look at Circuits & Systems on our stream tomorrow and weve got lots more to share with you, so keep an eye on our social media for related updates!
Until next time

Hey Prospectors, Matt here with a hotfix update for you. Some players may have experienced an issue with their Co-op Campaign inventories appearing blank after the latest update. This hotfix is aimed at fixing that issue and preventing it from happening again. Unfortunately, anyone who made a new save after the bug happened will not be able to recover their inventory. However, old saves will no longer be affected by it, nor new saves made after this hotfix.
Bug Fix:
- Fixed an issue that caused inventories in Co-op Campaign Game Saves to appear empty.

Hey Prospectors, It's Matt here with a new Community Challenge for you! This time we're taking on both land and air... in the same Tech! I challenge you to build the quickest Duathlon Tech you can. What is a Duathlon Tech? Good question, it's a Tech that can be driven on the ground and in the air. So how is this going to work? Well, you'll load into the 'Home Run' Gauntlet track, build your Duathlon Tech (make sure it can drive and fly), then record your fastest back-to-back ground and air runs. Upload the video to the submissions thread and I'll combine both times to give you your overall time. The quickest time wins! There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. It should look something like this: [previewyoutube=WXtER3vOJa0;full][/previewyoutube] For full details and to submit your runs see this thread on our Official Forums. Good luck and have fun!

Hi Prospectors
You can now add custom skins to your Techs. Each corp has its own brand new custom unique skin for you to use.
We've also added some new features to Co-op Creative, such as tethering and teams for you to roam across a larger terrain.
You can now add enemy Techs to your Co-op Creative game and also use shield and repair bubbles as well as other power blocks to give you a fighting chance.
There's also been some design tweaks, bug fixes and even more new blocks.
Enjoy,
Matt
Custom Skins:
- Alternative skins are available for the sets of blocks for each corporation.
- One alternative skin per corporation.

- Players can now roam in all directions as a tethered group of players.
- If players separate and go in different directions, some will encounter a border wall until the players regroup again.
- Players can now select a team to be on and switch teams.

- "Report a Bug" has been removed from the pause menu
- Bugs posted on the TerraTech forum are handier for the dev team to manage as it's easier to respond to and ask for more information where necessary.

Find out how to switch from the TerraTech main branch to the TT_Unstable Beta branch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_ce_yPOflo New Features:
- Creative and Co-op Creative modes now have the option to add Easy, Medium or Hard enemy Techs to the game.
- Can be set before a game starts and changed via the Options screen.
- GeoCorp Cat Nine Mining Flail
- GeoCorp Windmill Mining Flail
- GeoCorp Active All Axis Heavy Gyro
- Hawkeye Active All Axis Horizon Gyro
- The Care Package near the start of the game now gives an extra solar generator, battery and regen bubble.
- The 3 variations of the Trader Troll have now been replaced with a less threatening anchored new Trader Troll Tech.
- "FTUE" respawn Techs from GSO Grade 2 onwards now include a solar generator and a few more blocks in general.
- Multiple undo stacking has now been removed as it was considered too confusing to the player. The revised behaviour is as follows:
- When any operation creates an undo, it replaces any previous undo that was available.
- When a block-detach undo (as opposed to send-to-SCU) is available, if you detach a block from the Tech that the operation applies to, the undo will be invalidated (the button disappears).
- You can still do the exploit where you detach a block, replace it with a different block, then hit undo to attempt to rebuild the Tech around the replacement block - provided that you don't detach any more blocks after the initial detach.
- "Report a Bug" has been removed from the pause menu
- Bugs posted on the TerraTech forum are handier for the dev team to manage as it's easier to respond to and ask for more information where necessary.

Well, here we are. This update marks the end of TerraTech Early Access. We've come a long way over the past 4 years of development and are very happy to release what we're calling version 1.0 out into the world. Of course, as you saw in our Future of TerraTech post yesterday, this is just another step on the road of TerraTech's journey - but a very important one that we're all proud to be taking.
Enjoy the game, tell your friends, destroy them in multiplayer and discuss what kinds of awesome designs you will be making once we release Co-Op Creative to the world. We'll see you there!

Now that TerraTech 1.0 is imminent, we're busy planning for the future of the TerraTech IP. We have lots of plans - some realistic, some a little more ambitious, but they all form part of our ideal view of what TerraTech could become.
We haven’t put a time limit on how much more we want to do to TerraTech. Some of that will be dictated by resources, but more importantly it will be affected by you, the community. You have been the lifeblood of the game since we launched back in 2015, and we wanted to share our roadmap outline for post 1.0 TerraTech and beyond.
The below is in a rough order of priority, but of course somethings will be subject to change depending on how progress goes. We haven't explicitly listed bug fixes and general polish because those are ongoing activities.
Next up
These will be our first priority post launch.
- Hot swapping between tech snapshots (store and deploy in a single action)
- Improving core AI behaviours (Follow, Harvest etc)
- Co-op Creative mode
- Full gamepad support (PC)
- Weapon types and ranges
- Fuel & energy systems, and storage
- Shields, health and regen
- Player 'death' and recovery mechanics
- SCU and inventory management
- Intelligent block rotation
- Semi-automated build/re-build function
- Flying AI
- Enemy encampments that spawn AIs and affect the local environment
- Water and other fluid environments: physics, game mechanics and world generation
- Jointed and animated Techs
- Structural stress simulation
- World deformation (tunnelling)
- Dynamic economy simulation
- Spherical planets, space propulsion, interplanetary travel

Hey guys,
We've been working away at bug fixing and stabilisation goodness as the 1.0 hype train makes it's way along the tracks at ever increasing speed.

‘Sup, Prospectors?
It’s been a while, we know, but all of your waiting is totally going to be worth it when you check out this latest update.
After our announcement of reaching 1.0 and releasing on console this Summer, you may have noticed us throwing out frequent unstable updates. There’s only one explanation for it: 0.8 is here!
0.8 is perhaps the biggest update we’ve put out yet, so you’ll have plenty to play around with.
One of the main features is that we’ve promoted multiplayer from Pre-Alpha to Beta, and it is now available for everyone to enjoy on the main branch. In terms of the main game, there’s a bunch of new blocks, a bucketful of optimisation, a cup of bug fixes and plenty more.
LOL (lots of love), Zeena
IMPORTANT NOTE:
One thing that’s very important to note is that the location for save files and Tech snapshots has changed:
Windows:
My Documents/My Games/TerraTech/
Mac:
~/Library/Application Support/TerraTech/
Linux:
~/.local/share/TerraTech/
The game should automagically move your existing game saves and Tech snapshots to the new location, but if it doesn't and you run into any problems, drop us an email to help@terratechgame.com and we'll get things working for you again.

Hello!
We've been tirelessly working away at some Multiplayer improvements based on your feedback of the first build we put up just before Christmas. The focus for this update is to have lots more games happening and to get a lot more people playing together. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this update, be sure to let us know in the forums over at https://forum.terratechgame.com/index.php?forums/multiplayer.26/
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When switching TerraTech from the default branch or TT_Unstable to TT_Unstable_MP, game save files and Tech snapshots are moved from C:SteamsteamappscommonTerraTech Beta
to C:Users*User*AppDataLocalLowPayloadTerraTech
This change was intentionally made for the TT_Unstable branch leading up to the next Stable update in order to retain game saves and Tech snapshots if TerraTech is uninstalled, so they're still available later after re-installing. This change has inadvertently made its way into the multiplayer branch earlier than we planned so apologies to all for any confusion caused.
When switching back from TT_Unstable_MP to another branch, please manually copy game saves and Tech snapshots back from C:Users*User*AppDataLocalLowPayloadTerraTech
to C:SteamsteamappscommonTerraTech Beta
Co-Op Creative Mode.
Brand new game mode where players can all build together in a peaceful world with infinite blocks.
New Lobby System.
All lobbies currently active will be listed in the new lobby system. Games in progress can now be joined, lobbies can be filtered by game mode, ping, players and a bunch of other things. This should make finding and playing games a LOT easier.
Linux is now supported along with Windows and OSX.
Known Issues list.

So here it is! We've spent a long time building, experimenting and fixing things up behind the scenes on Multiplayer modes for TerraTech -- and now we feel like the time has come to let you guys get your hands on the first playable version available to everyone.
In order to gain access to the Pre Alpha Multiplayer Branch, follow the instructions on this video and select the TT_Unstable_MP branch.
This initial rollout allows you to play Deathmatch with up to 16 players, with a Team Deathmatch option too. Some cool features include Crate Drops to race to so you can grab more blocks to enhance your Tech, Kill Streak rewards when you defeat other Techs and Death Streak rewards to get you back into the fight if you've had some bad luck. Scavenging in multiplayer is more immediate by driving into loose blocks to absorb them straight into your inventory!
We recommend all players jumping on between 5pm-7pm GMT/12pm-2pm EST. This will hopefully help people find more games as the player count will be a lot higher during these times.
We hope you enjoy helping us break this multiplayer build -- be sure to report any crashes/bugs you find in-game and post any feedback you have on our official forums.

As of TerraTech 0.7.9 -- players are able to share Techs using Steam Workshop using the in-game Snapshot feature.
Head on over to the Steam Workshop page - http://steamcommunity.com/app/285920/workshop/ to check out all the Techs people have shared. These can be listed by Popularity, Corporation, Tech Type (Tank, Flyer, Anchored Base etc) in order to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
Simply click "Subscribe" on a Tech that you want to play with -- and it will appear in your Snapshot folder the next time you enter CREATIVE MODE. In order the load that Tech into the main campaign, you will need to take a Snapshot of it in Creative Mode. We will be working on making this process more streamlined in future updates.
We look forward to seeing what kinds of Techs are created and shared using this new functionality -- and hope to see a lot more awesome creations like the ones we have had sent to us this year.

Hawkeye Fixed Anchor
- Description: A Hawkeye Fixed Anchor. Place it on the ground and build an anchored base around it. Just don't expect it to rotate ok? It's also pretty tough.
- Rarity: Common
- Grade: 1
- Price: BB915
- Recipe: Luxian x 1, Plumbia x 3, Titania x 3, Hardened Titanic x 1
- Description: This Hawkeye Rotating Anchor is pretty powerful, it can handle a fairly heavy load and still rotate at a reasonable speed. Faster than GeoCorp, but slower than GSO.
- Rarity: Common
- Grade: 2
- Price: BB1293
- Recipe: Luxian x 4, Plumbia x 4, Titania x 4, Hardened Titanic x 1
- Description: This is a Venture Fixed Anchor, for all you Venture fans who love to make fixed bases... have fun!
- Rarity: Common
- Grade: 1
- Price: BB 414
- Recipe: Fibron x 3, Plumbia x 3, Titania x 1
- Description: This is the fastest turning Rotating Anchor available. Just don't expect it to carry too much weight though. It's a great choice for light defence turrets that need to target fast moving targets.
- Rarity: Common
- Grade: 2
- Price: BB612
- Recipe: Fibron x 4, Plumbia x 4, Titania x 2
- Description: The GSO Combat Shotgun is just the tool for when things get up close and personal. This boomstick packs a real punch, dealing scattershot damage and knock back to close quarters targets. Just don't expect it to do too much over a longer range.
- Rarity: Common
- Grade: 4
- Price: BB1434
- Recipe: Plumbia x 4, Titania x 2, Blast Caps x 1
- Description: The Venture Contact Shotgun is a powerful weapon to use at close range. but it won't work very well from a distance.
- Rarity: Common
- Grade: 2
- Price: BB1047
- Recipe: Fibron x 1, Titania x 1, Blast Caps x 1
- Description: The GSO Missile Battery really brings the pain. Four lock-on missiles can be launched from this pod in quick succession. They take a while to reload, but they also pack a punch when they hit, so it's not usually a problem. Their range isn't as far as Hawkeye, but they are more powerful than Venture.
- Rarity: Rare
- Grade: 5
- Price: BB13008
- Recipe: Plumbia x 1, Carbius x 1, Blast Caps x 1, Seed AI x 1
- Description: Aww, ain't it just the cutest? This little jet is serious business though. Strap a couple of these babies on and you can exfil from any hot zone on the double.
- Rarity: Rare
- Grade: 1
- Price: BB6753
- Recipe: Rugged Fiblar x 1, Blast Caps x 1, Hard Light Drive x 1, Heat Coil x 1

- Rarity: Common
- Grade: 2
- Price: BB216
- Recipe: Rubber Brick x 1, Plumbia x 2
- Description: These odd blocks are used to fill in the gaps when building an anchored, walled base. They can be used all over the place. What they lack in APs, they make up for in armour.

Find out how to switch from the TerraTech main branch to the TT_Unstable Beta branch here. New features / content / improvements:
- More translated text from the TT Translation team.
- Fixed instances of Big Tony and Little Thief being unable to move properly.
- Fixed bullet trails not showing on some weapons.
- Fixed issue where bases on rotating anchors would sometimes disappear.
- Adjusted the ground point on blocks with anchors. They now sit higher off the ground, making it easier to anchor these blocks on uneven surfaces.
- Fixed radar icons failing to update their position under certain circumstance when their Tech was suddenly moved a large distance.
- Increased the amount of time between Chunk Dispense Interval on the GSO Autominer from 0.25 seconds up to 10 seconds when it tries to catch up with the number of chunks it should have produced whilst you were away. This means it will not suddenly spit out lots of chunks and drop the FPS if you leave one alone for a very long time. Instead, it will take 10 seconds to drop each of the chunks that it owes you when you return, a more manageable handover of chunks.
- Disabled Tech AI driving around and shooting while the game has not faded up yet.
- Fixed edge case where some physics values on a Tech could be calculated incorrectly.
- Fixed occasional crash when changing Techs while driving.
- Fixed occasional crash when undoing an anchor removal.
- Multiple resources travelling close to each other along Conveyors may generate bottlenecks and clog bases up, especially around Refineries and Filters.
- GeoCorp Anchored Delivery Cannons might not anchor on what looks like flat terrain.
- Using “Return to Checkpoint” in R&D Test Chamber can cause dispensers and bases to be displaced.

Hi there,
So it's been a productive few weeks while working on this update and we have a whole bunch of new toys for you guys to play with in 0.7.6 -- a whole new way to store, transport and load Techs into the world to/from your inventory, coupled with the introduction of Resource Blocks to manage all your precious harvested resources. With new things dotted around the place like Venture Stunt Ramp missions, the Glacier biome and Tyre Tracks being generated by your Techs, there are a bunch more reasons for you to get your move on in this new update!
Be sure to check out our Update Video here and let us know what you think of the changes in the comments section below. Enjoy!
Jamie.
New features / content / improvements:
- Tech blocks can now be sent to SCU using the radial menu. Be sure to save a Snapshot of them before sending -- otherwise you'll need to quickly press undo to get them back!
- Tech placement - Can manually choose where to place a Tech when loading from your inventory.
- Added new Venture Stunt Missions to Venture Grades 1, 2 & 3. Stunt Missions include all sorts of time trials, ramp jumps and some really big set piece stunts in Venture Grade 3.
- Added new Compressed Resource blocks for each corporation. These blocks hold multiple refined resource chunks of a single type for easier resource transport and storage. The contained resources can be retrieved using a Scrapper. To be used as an easy way to transport large numbers of resources -- be careful not let enemies blow them up though!
- Graduated the EXP Tank Track Left, Right and Middle to GeoCorp Grade 3.
- Techs can now be anchored/unanchored at the touch of a button (in the bottom left of the screen, next to your Snapshot button.
- Added new Ice biome. Wrap up warm and try not to slip.

- Added three new Hawkeye Blocks to the game:
- Hawkeye Havoc Shield (Grade 2).
- Hawkeye Payload Terminal (Grade 2).
- Hawkeye Pack Collector (Grade 1).
- Latest translations from the TT Translators updated in the game.
- Increased the Block Survival Chance when blocks are detached from a destroyed enemy Tech, increasing opportunities to gain blocks via combat.

- Slowed down the rate at which Auto Miners produce a Chunk to once every 30 seconds. It now takes roughly 8 hours to fully exhaust an underground deposit.
- Adjusted the amount of energy gained from burning various Fuel Chunks:
- Olite and Olastic now produce less energy than Carbite and Carbius, as Carbite and Carbius are more rare.
- GSO Static Furnace Generators yield the same amount of energy for Raw and Refined versions of the Chunks. However, Refined Chunks will burn faster in a GSO Furnace Generator. GSO Mobile Furnace Generators do the same, but only yield half the amount of energy.

Hi guys,
0.7.5 marks the release of a long awaited reworking of the way the world is generated in TerraTech. We are now capable of spawning a much wider variety of biomes with extensive mountain ranges, vast rolling hills, tricky-to-pass terrain and a bunch more. We also see the addition of the brand new Pillars biome -- and this is only the start. More biomes will be coming in future updates.
Another long awaited feature that has arrived is the ability to move while in build beam. This should help with getting your Techs unstuck from any tricky terrain -- as well as positioning your Sentry Turrets and bases in the perfect places. Increased Trading Station Inventory, Hints, permanent Inventory Access, new blocks, optimisations, bug fixes and a load more make up an update we're very excited to be putting in your hands. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below! Good luck out there.
Jamie xoxo
IMPORTANT NOTE:
We've performed a big overhaul of the underlying tech to create greater variety in the world of TerraTech. Game saves from TT_Unstable version 0.7.4.4 to 0.7.4.9 will not load into properly into this version or newer. Game saves from this version can be continued in newer updates.

Find out how to switch from the TerraTech main branch to the TT_Unstable Beta branch here IMPORTANT NOTE: We've performed a big overhaul of the underlying tech to create greater variety in the world of TerraTech. During the TT_Unstable period from 0.7.4.4 onwards, games saves are unlikely to load in subsequent versions. Feel free to explore the new biomes in each TT_Unstable update from 0.7.4.4 onwards and give us feedback here or via the TerraTech forum at forum.terratechgame.com. Game saves will be fully supported again as of Stable Update 0.7.5. Game Design Tweaks:
- Disabled feature to Save Tech Blocks to SCU and Load Snapshot Techs from SCU in run up to the pending stable update. The feature needs a bit more polishing before we’re happy to release it to the stable branch.
- Increased the passive braking of the Hawkeye Single Wheels.
- Fixed player being initially spawned on top of scenery in Campaign and Creative modes.
- Fixed issue of Techs not being anchored when spawned from SCU.
- Fixed bug where revising position of anchored Tech stops anchoring if you try to anchor it on something invalid like a rock or a tree.
- Fix progress blocker due to shop window not appearing on Striking Out mission.
- Fixed incorrect appearance of the columns in the Pillars biome.
- Techs are now prevented from moving up the giant artefacts via the Build Beam.
- Fixed enemies spawning on top of scenery.
- Prevent Fabricator and Component Factory select menu scrollbars from becoming inactive.
- Improved frame rate stutters in R&D Test Chamber.
- Sumo, Gauntlet and R&D Test Chamber may start with an initial noticeable stutter depending on how many Tech snapshots are present in the TerraTech folder.
- Repositioning a Tech in build beam currently allows the player to easily “climb” up tall parts of the terrain (including the large artefacts which sometimes allow the Tech to incorrectly go inside of them). This feature will need to be restricted somehow so the terrain’s topology still provides a challenge for the player to navigate across.
- Anchored blocks can be placed in close proximity to each other, causing them to overlap.
- Celestite crystals have not been set up yet to crumble in stages.
- Can incorrectly rename non-player bases.
- Multiple resources travelling close to each other along Conveyors may generate bottlenecks and clog bases up, especially around Refineries and Filters.
- Graphical issues with red projector on terrain when enemies spawn in.
- Markers for missions and bases when playing in 4:3 are offset slightly.

Find out how to switch from the TerraTech main branch to the TT_Unstable Beta branch here Game Design Tweaks:
- Doubled the amount of blocks gifted in Reward Crates.
- Reduced the survival chance of blocks when detaching from a destroyed Tech from 60% to 50%.
- Updated Hover Plate beam heights. Venture Double Hover Plate is now the tallest hover beam at 15m, GSO Large Quad Hover Plate has a 7.5m beam and the GSO Small Single Hover Plate remains the lowest at 1m beam (as it was before).
- Increased the size of enemy Techs spawned in missions and the population. The greatest differences can be seen from Grade 3 GSO onwards.
- Included smaller population enemy spawns in GSO Grade 4 and 5 (previously they were switched off).
- Reduced the chance for larger population enemies to appear (enemies will more likely be smaller ones).
- Added new Experimental Blocks to the R&D Test Chamber (and Creative Mode for everyone with the R&D Test Chamber):
- EXP Angled Plasma Cutter - An angled version of the Plasma Cutter, better for reaching low rocks.
- EXP Articulated Diamond Drill - A Diamond Drill that can reach low and high targets.
- EXP Straight Jackhammer - A new Jackhammer that can actually be used to hit things with. BAM! BAM! BAM!
- EXP Dropper - A block that will drop chunks from conveyors. Helps move chunks back to collectors or gets unwanted ones out of a base.
- Players who created a save game on an earlier TT_Unstable version might find extra icons on their radar after completing missions. This will only affect missions that were accepted but not completed in the TT_Unstable version.
- Anchored blocks can be placed in close proximity to each other, causing them to overlap.
- Celestite crystals have not been set up yet to crumble in stages.
- Waypoint markers may not appear correctly in-game for certain missions e.g. missing or pointing in the wrong direction.
- Can incorrectly rename non-player bases.
- Multiple resources travelling close to each other along Conveyors may generate bottlenecks and clog bases up, especially around Refineries and Filters.
- Graphical issues with red projector on terrain when enemies spawn in.

Hi guys,
Creative Mode is a feature that has been greatly requested in our Suggesions forums for as far back as most of us can remember. A world where you are free to roam and build whatever you want -- without any limitations, or annoying baddies to show up and spoil the fun (converting friendly Techs to enemies is currently being tested in R&D and will make its way into Creative Mode once it's deemed worthy). Well here it is!
This coupled with awesome new toys like the Auto Miner block -- Multiple game mode saves and extensive performance enhancements combine to make 0.7.4 something we're very happy to be shouting about! We look forward to seeing what kinds of awesome creations you can come up with in this version of TerraTech.
Be sure to share your findings on the Official Forums. Have fun out there!
- Jamie xo
New features / content / improvements:
[olist]
- Build anything you want using all the blocks from Campaign mode.
- Save your world with the Creative Mode game save.
- R&D Test Chamber owners also have access to EXP blocks in Creative Mode.
- Added the new GSO Auto Miner Block (GSO Grade 2). This block is used to mine underground Resource Chunks (patches of underground chunks).
- Added the new GSO Component Factory Block (GSO Grade 3). This block makes Component Chunks and can be operated with a right-click to bring up the menu.
- Added three new GSO Component Dongles (GSO Grades 3-5). These dongles can be attached directly to the Component Factory to enable it to craft the higher grade Component Chunks.
- Added the Venture Avalanche Missile Launcher to Venture Grade 3.
- Added a new GSO Grade 2 mission introducing the Auto Miner block.
- Added a new GSO Grade 3 mission introducing the Component Factory block.
- Added missions that task you with destroying a fleeing enemy in a fixed amount of time. These appear mainly for Venture, but there are a few GSO examples too.
- Added 24 new Component resource chunks. These Components are a higher tier of chunk after "Refined." There are also 4 sub-grades of Component chunks. Component chunks are used to craft the rarest blocks.
- The crafting recipes for most blocks in the game have been reworked. Uncommon and rare blocks now typically require Component Chunks to be crafted. The recipes also now reflect corporation style too, e.g. GSO have a bias towards Plumbia use, GeoCorp have a bias towards lower value chunks, but also require a higher quantity of chunks in their recipes, Venture favour recipes that use Fibron and Hawkeye favour using more expensive resource chunks.
- Added new sound effects for Techs, drills, hammers, saws and crafting blocks.
- The selection of blocks available to buy in the Trading Station and Terminals is now restricted.
- Each Trading Station provides a limited selection of blocks that gets restocked each morning (in-game time).
- There is a wider selection of Common blocks, a medium selection of Uncommon and a very small selection of Rare blocks each day.
- Some simple blocks such as the GSO building blocks, conveyors and wheels etc will appear in abundance in all Terminals and Trading Stations every day.
- Tutorial hint animations have been added.
- Tech markers now show AI state if an AI cab is attached.
- Tech markers now show if a Tech is anchored.
- Tech AI radial selection menu is now more explicit about which AI states can be selected.
- Improved the Fabricator and Component factory UI to show which items are available and what ingredients are needed to make items.
- Saved games now shows corporation license levels on the Load Game screen.
- Added 4 sets of EXP Trailer Hook and Ring blocks of various sizes. These enable you to hitch Techs to each other with an articulated joint.
- Added 2 new Trailer Wheel blocks in different sizes. These blocks are specifically designed to be used on towed trailer Techs and do not have any passive braking applied to the wheel, meaning they can be towed by a Tech with normal wheels without slowing down due to braking, but they will roll away if left on a hill.
- Added 3 new EXP Caterpillar Tracks to the R&D Test Chamber.
- Switch a Tech between player and enemy by holding "T" and left-clicking on any non-player controlled Tech.
- The R&D Test Chamber now has a new skydome.
- The R&D Test Chamber can now be saved.
- Various frame rate optimisations including how resources are stored in Silos and move along Conveyors.
- Updated translations from the TT Translator team. Many thanks to the folowing people for the recent translation updates:

- Increased the load bearing strength of all GeoCorp wheels by around 25% each.
- Reduced the suspension dampener on Venture Wheels, making them more bouncy.
- Re-added the Hawkeye Elbow and Flat Brackets to Hawkeye Grade 1 and added the Hawkeye Long Jack Bracket to Hawkeye Grade 2.
- Increased the rotation options for the Hawkeye One block.

- Venture Flamethrower
- Venture One Block
- Venture Small Wheel
- Venture Hover Plate
- Venture Steering Hover Jet
- All Venture Brackets
- Hawkeye STEN SMG

- Increased the delay time before wheels spark when overloaded slightly. When moving over bumpy terrain sometimes one wheel is taking more load than normal for a split second, as the weight of the vehicle shifts around. Rather than immediately showing sparks, we delay for a moment to see if the wheel is still overloaded. If wheels are consistently sparking for a long time whilst drive, your Tech is overloaded.

- Made it a requirement that you unlock the Auto Miner in the Crafty Mike mission before being offered any harvesting missions for which you will need an Auto Miner.
- Renamed the GeoCorp Grade 2 Harvesting Missions to reflect which resources they are asking you to collect.
- Restructured GeoCorp Grade 2 Harvest Missions to start with easy to find resources and end with harder ones, after the Auto Miner has been unlocked.
- Updated Resource Giver Distribution: Common resources; Plumbite, Titanite, Wood, Rubber & Luxite are still readily available in most locations.

- Fixed enemy Techs in Chase and Destroy missions sometimes disappearing on reload.
- Fixed overpowered Techs being able to spawn in GeoCorp Grade 3 missions.
- Audio:
- Fixed audio bug causing stuck sounds and errors.

- Increased the area around resource deposits that the GSO Auto Miner will start working.

Hey guys,
Update 0.7.4 will mark the release of a long anticipated feature - Creative Mode!
With this new game mode, we have added the ability to keep seperate game saves for Campaign, Creative Mode and R&D. We're very excited to see what kind of epic creations you guys will build given this new space for freedom and creativity.
Unfortunately - given that this is a pretty significant rework of the saving system, it will mean that game saves from previous versions of the game will NOT work as of 0.7.4.
We do our best to avoid this kind of thing happening - as we understand how annoying it can be to lose progress like this. We have also managed to squeeze some other game save breaking changes into this update to avoid it happening too often in the future.
We will, as always have the previous stable version of the game (0.7.3) available through the beta branch selection on Steam so that you can continue your game save if you are feeling particularly attached :) We also encourage you to Snapshot all of the Techs that you wish to keep -- as you will be able to buy them back into your adventures in the new update.
ALSO...GeoCorp tank treads confirmed.
Let us know if you have any questions/concerns below!

New features / content / improvements: [olist]
- Added the new GSO Auto Miner Block (GSO Grade 2). This block is used to mine underground Resource Chunks (patches of underground chunks to be added later).
- Added the new GSO Component Factory Block (GSO Grade 3). This block makes Component Chunks and can be operated with a right-click to bring up the menu.
- Added three new GSO Component Dongles (GSO Grades 3-5). These dongles can be attached directly to the Component Factory to enable it to craft the higher grade Component Chunks.
- Added the Venture Avalanche Missile Launcher to Venture Grade 3.
- Added missions which task you with destroying a fleeing enemy in a fixed amount of time. These appear mainly for Venture, but there are a few GSO examples too.
- The crafting recipes for most blocks in the game have been reworked. Uncommon and rare blocks now typically require Component Chunks to be crafted. The recipes also now reflect corporation style too, eg. GSO have a bias towards Plumbia use, GeoCorp have a bias towards lower value chunks, but also require a higher quantity of chunks in their recipes, Venture favour recipes that use Fibron and Hawkeye favour using more expensive resource chunks.
- Added 24 new Component resource chunks. These Components are a higher tier of chunk after "Refined." There are also 4 sub-grades of Component chunks. Component chunks are used to craft the rarest blocks.
- Tutorial hint animations have been added.
- Tech markers now show AI state if an AI cab is attached.
- Tech markers now show if a Tech is anchored.
- Tech AI radial selection menu is now more explicit about which AI states can be selected.
- Added 4 sets of EXP Trailer Hook and Ring blocks of various sizes. These enable you to hitch Techs to each other with an articulated joint (Only available in R&D Test Chamber at this stage).
- Added 2 new Trailer Wheel blocks in different sizes. These blocks are specifically designed to be used on towed trailer Techs and do not have any passive braking applied to the wheel, meaning they can be towed by a Tech with normal wheels without slowing down due to braking, but they will roll away if left on a hill. (Only available in R&D Test Chamber at this stage).
- Switch a Tech between player and enemy by holding "T" and left-clicking on any non-player controlled Tech.
- The R&D Test Chamber now has a new skydome.
- Added lots of new Techs to the enemy population.
- Added new SFX for drills, hammers and saws.
- Updated translations from the TT Translator team. Many thanks to the folowing people for the recent translation updates:
- Christoph Beitzinger
- Gendel Vladimir Grigorievich
- J. Quinn
- Moisés Ojeda Gutiérrez
- Oliver "Olli_DXD" Jonsson
- Olivier Barruhet
- Oskar "Zargn" Anderson
- Philipp "3D" ten Brink
- Increased the amount of XP earned for all missions.
- Added incremental usability improvements to GSO Grade 1 missions.
- Increased the stack capacity of the Large Geocorp Collector from 5 per stack to 8, in line with the Small GeoCorp Collector.
- Increased the pickup range of GSO and GeoCorp Collectors slightly.
- Cursors have been updated and should be more visible against different colour backgrounds.
- Various prototype EXP blocks in R&D to allow Techs to be connected.
- Fixed issue causing resources to incorrectly fall off a Tech/base when entering a silo.
- Updated flamethrower start and stop times to be more responsive. Fixed animation issue if quickly toggled off, on and then off again.
- Removed an anchored base type Tech from the offline Invaders list.
- Fixed issue where Twitter authorisation setting could be lost if requests were sent and cancelled in quick succession.
- Waypoint markers may not appear correctly in-game for certain missions e.g. missing or pointing in the wrong direction.
- Certain names for missions may incorrectly change after a reload.
- Can incorrectly rename non-player bases.
- Multiple resources travelling close to each other along Conveyors may generate bottlenecks and clog bases up, especially around Refineries and Filters.
- Graphical issues with red projector on terrain when enemies spawn in.
- Some radar markers may point towards things that are missing in the world.
- Markers for missions and bases when playing in 4:3 are offset slightly.

Hi guys,
With on-going multiplayer work coming along very nicely (we'll have more to announce about this very soon) - we've decided to add a bunch of widely requested features to add more awesomeness to TerraTech while our code team stretch their multiplayer muscles.
Mobile SCU & Refineries, Tutorial Skip and more info on each block in the game are all things that players have been looking forward to for a while now - and here they are! We hope you enjoy the changes as much as we do.
Take a look at the shiny new 0.7.3 Update video here and as always, be sure to let us know your thought over on the Official Forums.
Have fun out there!
- Jamie xo
New features / content / improvements:
[olist]
- Within each game profile, once a game is saved after Big Tony is defeated, any subsequent playthrough within the same game profile allows the option for the opening turial sequence to be skipped.
- Press "i" while hovering over a block to view the following information about it:
- Block Category
- Corporation & Grade
- Rarity
- Sell Price
- Block Description
- Other helpful information, e.g. anchored, needs power, stores fuel, etc
- Press "R" while hovering over any non-player controlled Tech you want to rename.
- Missions are now available to select from Trading Station "Mission Boards" (the top panels) from GSO Grade 2 onwards. An introduction to the Mission Board is available after defeating the Trader Troll.
- Defend a friendly Tech for a set amount of time while enemies spawn to attack you and your friend.
- These missions start appearing after the Distress Signal mission in GSO Grade 3, from GeoCorp Grade 2 onwards, and both Venture and Hawkeye by default.
- Added Recover Delivery Crate Missions for all corporations at all grades and updated them so that you only get ambushed by enemies some of the time.
- When the Mission Log is empty, a mission to point the player towards Trading Stations to get more missions appears.
- Venture Grade 3
- It's an SCU block that works whilst attached to your Tech.
- It has a shorter pick-up range and it's more expensive than the regular SCU, but it's mobile.
- Venture Grade 2
- Works the same way as a regular refinery - but no longer needs to be anchored.
- Hawkeye Grade 3 missions are now available in Campaign.
- Updated all Hawkeye Tech Hunting Missions, added new ones and spread them out across all 3 grades.

- Increased the damage for all Hawkeye machine guns.
- Adjusted the fall-off rate for all Booster jets. The Venture Booster is the most twitchy and it falls off faster. GSO are in the middle and Hawkeye have the most powerful Booster, but also have a slower fall off, so they cannot be used for fine feathering, they provide a big, bold, blast.
- Boosters now require a minimum amount of fuel available before they can be used.
- Remote Chargers won't charge batteries which are almost full.
- The regular SCU now powers up faster and has a longer pick-up range.

We're very happy to be a part of the Steam Holiday sale this year. 30% off TerraTech - Happy Holidays everyone!
We're celebrating by uploading a brand new TerraTech trailer to the store page which you can view here.
We've also just released update 0.7.2 and you can check out the release notes here.
[ 2016-12-22 18:00:37 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hi everyone
Well, here we are. Our final update of 2016 - and what a year it has been! The game has come a long way and we still have a ton of awesome features working their way up the pipeline as we move into 2017.
We've focused on getting a rock solid build out to you guys ahead of the holiday season, where we'll be taking some much needed rest -- as well as throwing in a couple of new toys. Hope you like what makes up 0.7.2 and be sure to leave your thoughts for what you'd like to see in the new year below.
- Jamie
New Features / Content / Improvements:
- Added new Mission Log which provides more information about your current missions, such as how far away they are and what rewards they give. Press the 'L' key or click on the current objective panel to open the Mission Log.
- Added a mission tracker which gives notifications when new missions are added to the Mission Log or objectives are updated.
- New blocks:
- Added the Hawkeye Scrapper to the game (Hawkeye Grade 3, available once Hawkeye Grade 2 is maxed out).
- Added the new Hawkeye Fabricator (Grade 2).
- Added the new Hawkeye Helios AI Sentry (Grade 2).
- Added lots of new Techs to the population.
- Implemented an early test version of the Grabit 3D model viewer. This option appears when taking a snapshot of a Tech. Tech models can then be uploaded to Grabit and viewed in the online 3D viewer.
- Eventually, you will be able to purchase 3D printed Techs through this method, but that option won't be available until the New Year. Feel free to upload your favourite builds and view them in various materials that will be available.
- Performance improved for machines with lower end graphics cards.
- Updated translations from the TT Translator team (many thanks to José Prieto, Kristian Sipkes, Moisés Ojeda Gutiérrez, Malte "SenorRageQuit" Hübner, Raúl “Cusuno” Zeas and Viktor Bengtsson for the recent translation updates).
- Block revisions:
- Increased the pick-up range of all Scrappers. Geocorp has the largest radius, then Hawkeye is a little smaller and GSO and Venture have the smallest pick-up range.
- Increased the range of Hawkeye Missiles and decreased their damage slightly.
- Increased the lift power of the Hawkeye Rotors and the Venture Nose Propeller.
- Added Hawkeye & Venture Blocks to Sumo. Expanded the GSO and GeoCorp Block selection too.

Multiplayer.
We've been talking about how work on Multiplayer has been on-going in the background while we focus on pushing out fun new content for you guys to play in the mean time.
Yesterday on the live stream, we were able to reveal some early stage multiplayer testing of the system we have been working on. Very fun, but there is a lot of work yet to be done.
We hope to roll out a closed beta for Canaries sometime in the New Year. For more info on how to become a Canary, check out this post over on the Official Forum - http://forum.terratechgame.com/index.php?threads/how-to-become-a-canary.8893/
To stay up to date with the progress, be sure to follow us on Twitch and join in on the live streams over at https://www.twitch.tv/terratechgame .

Introducing 0.7.2 - The Update of the Sentry!
Following on from the great feedback we've had from the Crafting Update - we've decided to bring Christmas to you a little earlier this year.
We've added a brand new block -- the Hawkeye Sentry Turret, and taken a look at the existing GSO AI Anchor to make it a little more trigger happy to ensure that your base is protected while you're off exploring and completing missions with the aid of the brand new Mission Log.
There has been some good progress made on Multiplayer work in the background and we hope to have something to announce regarding that very soon - but for now, keep your eyes open and your turrets set to stun for this update coming in the next couple of weeks.
[ 2016-12-02 17:11:54 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hi guys,
Phew! Okay so this is a big one. Crafting has always been a fundamental part of how we envision the world of TerraTech and is an important part of the game for a lot of players. We've spent the last few weeks taking a close look at what place crafting has in the game economy and how it should interact with the rest of what the player gets up to around the world.
This is a pretty large rework on how resources are used to fabricate blocks -- and we're very keen to see what creations you make with the new base blocks.
This is the first wave of the crafting rework that we have planned - things like mobile refining and selling, combining resources, Trading Station stocks, 'buffed' blocks and loads more are in the pipeline (conveyor-line...?), so stay tuned!
For more info on what is new and how all the new blocks work, you can view our Crafting Update video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF8erUJG6AM
- Jamie
New Features / Content / Improvements:
- Updated the internal structure of save files to reduce the amount of RAM needed when saving. Additionally the new files will load faster in the front end and into the game. Old saves are compatible and will convert to the new format when saved. We’ve also added an integrity check, though we won’t stop you from loading files you’ve edited. This is mainly to help us determine whether we’re dealing with a clean save file or if data has been modified outside the game.
- Optimised memory usage when TerraTech launches.
- Crafting changes:
- New Crafting missions added to GSO Grades 2 & 3.
- Crafting selection menu now allows user to repeat recipes and cancel building.
- Undiscovered blocks from the current tier can now be crafted.
- Crafting sped up by increasing the movement rate of resource chunks by streamlining the passage of chunks through crafting blocks.
- Added arrows and better placement guidance to tutorials.
- Replaced the GSO Mobile Delivery Cannon and GSO Mobile Furnace Generator blocks with new larger versions to allow more space for the new input slots and because the older version were a bit too small compared with how useful they are as blocks. The old versions will be removed and should be manually replaced on any affected Techs.
- Graduated the new crafting blocks from R&D into the main game:
- GSO Refinery - Grade 2
- GSO Fabricator - Grade 2
- GSO Scrapper - Grade 3
- GeoCorp Fabricator - Grade 2
- GeoCorp Scrapper - Grade 3
- Venture Refinery - Grade 2
- Venture Fabricator - Grade 2
- Venture Scrapper - Grade 3
- Started preparing the old GSO crafting blocks for removal. The following blocks should be removed from any Techs that use them and replaced with new crafting blocks (above). They may be sold at Trading Stations for the value of the their equivalent new crafting block:
- Old GSO Fabricators
- Old GSO Refinery
- Old GSO Foundry
- Old GSO Scrapper
- Old GSO Up and Down Conveyors
- Old GSO Mobile Generator
- Tech Revisions
- Added lots of new Techs to the enemy population.
- Adding some fleeing Techs to the types of Population enemies that can spawn.
- Enemy Techs destroyed by the player grant small amounts of XP and BB.

- All colour blocks and Holiday Hat Blocks are now available from the start of the game from any Payload Terminal or Trading Station.

- Added Stig's Viking Helmet to the game.
- Updated translations from the TT Translator team (many thanks to Jakub "M0dEx" Kubik, Ko Tezuka, Leonardo Gobbi, Olivier Barruhet, Pedro "Greybear" Moreira, Ryo Tanimoto, Tobie "Sylver" Praz and Victor "PVD" Fuchadzhi for the recent translation updates).

- Oleus Capsule = Olastic Brick
- Increased the chunk drop rate for all resource givers by 25%.
- Reduced the amount of energy gained from burning resource chunks in a Mobile Furnace Generator.

- Increased the chunk capacity of all Collectors by 25%.
- Base blocks
- Updated existing Silos to hold multiple items for larger ones and single chunk types for small ones.
- Updated the names and descriptions of all Silos to describe which ones are Filtered and which ones are mixed (the former take only one type of chunk and the latter take all types of chunks mixed together until they reach capacity).

This should give you time to replace any old base blocks that you have on existing Techs and bases before they vanish forever.
- Multiple resources travelling close to each other along Conveyors may generate bottlenecks and clog bases up, especially around Refineries and Filters.
- Graphical issues with red projector on terrain when enemies spawn in.

- All colour blocks and Holiday Hat Blocks are now available from the start of the game from any Payload Terminal or Trading Station.
- The prices of all Holiday Hat Blocks have increased.
- Integrated new Venture Delivery Cannon (221) to Venture Grade 2, featuring a new anchor. This replaces the old 1x1x1 version, the old version can now be sold for enough to replace it with the new one at a Trading Station.
- Updated translations from the TT Translator team (many thanks to Jakub "M0dEx" Kubik, Ko Tezuka, Leonardo Gobbi, Olivier Barruhet, Pedro "Greybear" Moreira, Ryo Tanimoto, Tobie "Sylver" Praz and Victor "PVD" Fuchadzhi for the recent translation updates).
- General changes:
- Increased the vision range of all Cabs and thus all Techs from 50 to 100 units. Added the GeoCorp Scrapper to the game (Grade 3, R&D only at the moment).
- Enemies will now spot and engage the player from further away.
- Increased the price of weapons by 50%, pricing them up according to their power.
- Updated the Send Invader description to remove mention of receiving rewards for Invader victories, as we do not yet offer those rewards.

- Oleus Capsule = Olastic Brick
- Increased the chunk drop rate for all resource givers by 25%.
- Reduced the amount of energy gained from burning resource chunks in a Mobile Furnace Generator.

- Renamed some resource chunks:
- Block changes:
- Blocks with pick-up ranges (Collectors, Receivers, Block Magnets, Scrappers, SCUs) now display their pick-up range on the terrain.
- Fixed Shield Bubbles to repel Techs.
- Increased the holding strength of all Collectors, they will drop less chunks at high speeds.
- Increased the chunk capacity of all Collectors by 25%.
- Updated existing Silos to hold multiple items for larger ones and single chunk types for small ones.
- Updated the names and descriptions of all Silos to describe which ones are Filtered and which ones are mixed (the former take only one type of chunk and the latter take all types of chunks mixed together until they reach capacity).
- Block Magnets now pick up from a longer distance.
- Increased the capacity of the GSO Filtered Node Silo (the small one), to 10 chunks.
- Added Venture Filter Stack Silo to the Game (Grade 2).
- Reduced the top speed of the Hawkeye Tank Tracks (Grade 3).
- Increased health of Hawkeye Rotor Blocks.
- Reduced the range of the missiles to a point where enemies can spot you and fight back (no missile sniping). They're still awesome to use from flying Techs though.
- Missiles now aim for a random block on your target Tech, rather than the centre of the enemy’s cab.
- Increased the health of the Hawkeye, Venture and GeoCorp Cabs and AI Modules.
- Reduced the pickup range of all Scrappers.
- Tightened up the main menu.
- Optimised the collision geometry on GSO, Venture and Geo Corp blocks to use primitive colliders.
- New GSO Conveyors.
- Modified & polished most of the rest of the crafting blocks too.
- Updated Crafting UI for the Fabricator.
- Tweaked a couple of graphical errors on blocks and scenery objects.
- Modified GSO filter asset to better distinguish it from conveyors.
- Added prototype anchor geometry to basic GSO, Venture and GeoCorp crafting blocks for their un-anchored and state.
- Fixed a lot of minor issues when playing in 4:3.
- Fixed issue where the GSO Thimble Collector was gifted for upgrading to GSO2 and thus bypassing the step where players are encouraged to purchase one from the Trading Station.
- Removed the GSO Dispenser Block from a few population Techs.
- Replaced old unused GSO AI module with the current AI module in most population Techs.
- Fixed instances where the SCU block wasn’t spawning.
- Fixed issue where Geo Corp Geothermal Generator was not rotatable.
- Steam Vents now continue working after being unloaded.
- Fixed issue where Venture Delivery Cannon was selling chunks for half of their value.
- Fixed orphaned waypoints on radar (left over waypoints from completed missions).
- Most of the original base blocks have now been replaced with newer versions for the updated crafting system. The older base blocks now appear magenta in the game and will be removed completely in update 0.7.2 (sometime near the end of 2016). This should give you time to replace any old base blocks that you have on existing Techs and bases before they vanish forever.
- Graphical issues with red projector on terrain when enemies spawn in.
- Some radar markers may point towards things that are missing in the world.
- Markers for missions and bases when playing in 4:3 are offset slightly.

Hey guys,
In case anyone thinks we've been a bit quiet recently, we're actually working away on a pretty massive system overhaul - the new Crafting Update for 0.7.1.
Update 0.7.1 will include these features/improvements (and probably a few more too):
- New crafting blocks for GSO, GeoCorp and Venture.
- All GSO, GeoCorp and Venture blocks will be craftable & scrappable.
- New crafting menus on all Fabricators that allow any block to be selected and have the required recipe resources 'called' from attached Silos.
- Refineries that automatically switch to a mode that refines resources that the Fabricator needs.
- New Crafting tutorial missions.
- Redesign of the base conveyors and how they connect to each other.
- Game economy re-balancing.
[ 2016-10-26 15:45:11 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hi guys,
One of the most requested features we've been hearing from you during our time in Early Access has been the addition of a new corporation. Well here it is - we bring you Hawkeye!
They come complete with New Guns, Armoured Blocks, Motorcycle wheels, Powerful Guns, Helicopter Blades, Homing Missiles, Mini-guns, Not-so-mini-guns, Tank Treads, MORE GUNS, and loads more... (but mostly guns!). We hope you enjoy playing with these new blocks as much as we enjoy making them. Let us know what you think. Enjoy!

Welcome to version 0.6.3!
Following on from the goliath that was 0.6.2, we felt like it was a good time to expand on some features that have been in need of a bit more love. Primarily focusing on A.I., introducing the Scrap Magnets and a new "player defeated" mechanic -- alongside a ton of polish, bug fixing, optimisations, balancing and some secret stuff (yeah that's right ... we've managed to keep something a secret this time). We're super excited to see what you guys think of how the game is coming along in this new update.
- Jamie

Hello Here we are with the goliath that is 0.6.2. We have now added grades 1-3 for all three corporations currently in the game; GSO, GeoCorp and Venture. This should give you plenty to explore in the Campaign mode while we work on more upcoming features. It also gives you access to every block in the game so far via the Trading Station or Payload Terminal and through random encounters. This, plus a bunch of game design tweaks, bug fixes and optimisations are what makes up 0.6.2. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on the recent changes. What's lined up next? AI improvements. - Jamie New features / content / improvements:
- Added GeoCorp missions Grade 1, 2 & 3. Unlock these missions by completing the GeoCorp License mission during GSO Grade 2.

Our biggest update yet! Hi guys, So for those of you that do not partake in our TT_Unstable branch updates, here is a summary of everything that is in in 0.6.1. Our biggest update yet! We've added a new challenge mode - GAUNTLET! Click here to view the trailer. Race around one of two challenging Gauntlet tracks with your custom built racing (or flying) Techs to achieve the best time you possibly can. Players can also race against themselves using ghost data for an extra dose of competitiveness! The old mission system has been revamped with something a lot more robust which will make unlocking new blocks and progressing through the main game a breeze! We have integrated GSO grades 1-3 with the new system and will have GeoCorp and Venture Grades 1-3 added to the next Stable update. Other highlights include Enemies landing on the planet in Payload Bombs, a brand spanking new UI, lots of optimisation work and a TON of bug fixes. This and many many more chunks of awesome make up 0.6.1. Read below for a more detailed list of changes and additions or watch this video summary of the Release Notes.

TerraTech 0.6 is here.
In the biggest update to TerraTech yet, we have some awesome new toys for you to play with! - The SCU (Singularity Containment Unit) Storage block makes its debut. This handy little thing will pick up any stray blocks surrounding it and add it to your new in-game inventory.You can view a tutorial on how to use the SCU here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnsSes1DpeM - Block Painting. When the inventory is open, all your blocks are at your very finger tips - ready to be placed onto your Tech in the most streamlined building experience ever. The R&D test chamber also offers access to the inventory, with an infinite quantity of blocks to build with. - Base Bombs: enemy Techs, replacement SCU's and player Techs will now all appear in the form of a base bomb hurtling towards the planet from the skies above! This, plus a ton of bug and crash fixes, crafting table tweaks, a GeoCorp makeover and new Venture blocks -- 0.6 is shaping up to be one giant leap for Intergalactic Miners!
