TerraTech Worlds news & patch notes

Hi there prospectors,

Welcome to another update that introduces a new planet called Tyr; a water world planet with archipelagos, requiring boat travel to get from one island to another. If you have any feedback on how you're finding travel across the seas, we'd love to hear any suggestions that you have.

Thanks as always for the invaluable feedback and bug reporting and we hope you enjoy playing this update.

A new planet, Tyr

• Planet Tyr is unlocked when the tutorial on Nibiru has been completed.

• A world where a vast majority of the surface is covered by water.

• The various biomes are made up of groups of relatively small islands.

• It's possible to build a bridge if islands are close to each other.

• Islands that are further apart require the building of seafaring Techs.

Quality of life improvements

• More block information is shown when mousing over a block in the inventory;

  • Block's mass

  • Block's health

  • Power generation for structure generators

  • Power consumption for structure machines

  • Reactor capacity for cabs

• The active objective now shows how far it currently is from the player.

• The distance is also shown on the map above the purple active objective blob.

• The list of objectives now shows the individual distances in metres from the player.

• When setting an active objective, it's now possible to select completed objectives for locating traders and Bastions.

  • These will help the player to find locations previously discovered and gain access to known locations that can be teleported to.

Game balancing changes

• The impact damage and knockback caused by Puffball plants have been reduced significantly.

• Enemy respawn rate for normal difficulty has been reduced from 60 minutes to 25 minutes.

  • This should make it easier to earn money by destroying enemy Techs and selling off scavenged blocks.

• When playing with Tech Block Crafting, the price for buying the recipes for the 3 basic boat blocks has been reduced.

• The crafting recipes for the 3 basic boat blocks have been reduced as well.

• The force that the tides apply pushing a Tech from the sea towards the land has been halved.

Bug fixes

• The following bug should now be fixed in this update:

  • Planes in Creative mode are occasionally offset from their starting positions, causing some to be unexpectedly flipped.

  • Game sometimes crashes when fighting the boss Tech in the Arctic.

  • Some missing information about a Tech in the Tech snapshot screen was missing;

    • Reactor load title

    • Reactor capacity

    • Tech mass

  • A crate containing a Twitch drop reward may incorrectly appear during the initial tutorial and interacting with it will prevent the tutorial from being completed, but can be skipped,

  • Controller issues:

    • B button/O button doesn't close the pause menu.

    • Lots of the glyphs are missing in the control ribbon when in an inventory.

    • The player Tech stops moving in certain positions of the left thumbstick being between fully left/right and up.

Until next time, Prospectors!

Hi there prospectors,

The setting for Options > Graphics > Max FPS defaults to "Uncapped." It's been reported that an uncapped framerate in games can cause GPUs to overheat. We've now changed the default value for Max FPS to 60. Any existing game profiles with Max FPS set to "Uncapped" will be adjusted to 60. You can choose to set it back to "Uncapped", but we strongly recommend setting a capped value.

Thanks as always for the invaluable feedback and bug reporting and we hope you enjoy playing this update.

Hi there prospectors,

Welcome to another update that has one major addition and a handful of significant game balancing changes and quality of life improvements. There have been several mentions that the game is called TerraTech Worlds, but Nibiru is the only world present in the game so far. Please welcome planet number 2, Phaeton, which is now available to play once the tutorial has been completed on Nibiru. We've also introduced fast travel so you can teleport between discovered traders and Bastion S.E.E.D.s.

Thanks as always for the invaluable feedback and bug reporting and we hope you enjoy playing this update.

A new planet, Phaeton

• When the tutorial on Nibiru has been completed, it unlocks a second planet, Phaeton, which can then be selected when starting a new game, as there is no initial onboarding on Phaeton.

• Phaeton has different topology compared to Nibiru, with greater land mass and less sea.

• The game progression on Phaeton is more freeform, compared to Nibiru.

Game balancing changes

• The recipe for a Tech Yard has been reduced to Iron x10 + Organics x10.

• All Tech Yard modules, the Basic Fabricator, the Block Crafter and the Carbon Power Generator have had their recipe costs reduced by half.

• Scavengeable Tech Yards and Tech Yard modules have been added to enemy bases.

• The Tractor Beam is now available to buy in the Swamp, Polar and Desert traders.

• The flight height limit has been increased from 300m to 500m.

• Some larger wheels were too buoyant, allowing them to be used to travel on water, so they've had their buoyancy reduced.

Quality of life improvements

• Game objectives are now grouped by biomes in the Prospector Portal.

• Once you have discovered the Forest Trader, you can then teleport between any discovered Traders and Bastion S.E.E.D.s.

• Blockpedia links have been added from within Blockpedia pages.

  • e.g. for a structure block or a resource, if there's a crafting structure and resource ingredients in its info panel, you can mouse over them and press L to jump to their entry in the Blockpedia.

• In the Blockpedia, resources are now considered discovered when they're a recipe input for a discovered structure.

• When loading Tech snapshots, the panel now uses a scrolling page instead of the older pagination.

Bug fixes

• The following bugs should now be fixed in this update:

  • Mining Fluorine only produces debris.

    • Fluorine is now produced when mining with tier 4 and above resource lasers.

  • Intermittent crash bug when the client is dragging blocks.

  • Cuprite collision disappears when the client drives on it, preventing it from being mined.

  • Enemy indicator belonging to mission objectives does not show on the HALO for clients.

  • LB and RB on a controller don't cycle through tabs on the trader UI.

Hi there prospectors,

We've fixed a widely reported issue caused when the player buys the Wide Gauge Resource Laser before being told to do so, causing the objective to not be completable. We had a fix for this queued up as part of our next planned unstable update, but felt this fix was important enough to be worthy of a hotfix update, so here it is.

Thanks as always for the invaluable feedback and bug reporting and we hope you enjoy playing this update.

Bug fixes

• When buying a Wide Gauge Resource Laser ahead of the objective to buy it has been set, the game now recognises that the player has it and the objective completes and moves onto the next one.

Until next time, Prospectors!

Hi there prospectors,

Welcome to another update with a significant overhaul to improve the flight model and boats. We've made quite a lot of changes here that we're pretty confident will offer a much better experience when building and flying planes or sailing boats. Your existing plane and boat Techs may be markedly improved or possibly worse because of the changes that have been made and may need refining.

We've added some example planes, boats and amphibious planes to Creative Mode for you to try out. There are also some new blocks in this update to allow greater flexibility when placing the position of your plane wings for example to finesse your Tech builds.

Thanks as always for the invaluable feedback and bug reporting and we hope you enjoy playing this update.

Flight improvements

• The flight controls have been improved to provide better controls for flying aircraft Techs; allowing the plane to pitch, roll and yaw in a more intuitive manner.

  • When flying, the camera moves to frame the Tech centrally.

  • Added yaw controls on mouse and keyboard (Q/E).

    • Yaw keys are now remappable.

  • Disabled the auto-trim, which was forcing planes to fly level regardless of controls.

  • Disabled mid-air steering for winged Techs.

  • Gliding with no propulsion has also been improved.

• Flight propellers have increased in power, making it possible to build helicopters and easier to build planes.

  • Wren Propeller: 160 kph

  • Falcon Propeller: 200 kph

  • Albatross Big Propeller: 160 kph

  • Porco Booster: 300 kph

• Flight boosters are more effective in water, making it easier to take off from water now.

• Gum Stabiliser Wheel no longer jitters around when taking the weight of the plane or when the plane is flying.

• A flight blocks filter button has been added to the Tech block inventory to show all flight blocks.

• Some example planes can be found in Creative Mode; behind the starting position is a take-off and landing strip with 4 different sized planes to switch to and try out.

Boat improvements

• Boat travel has been improved to allow greater control of building and steering boats on water.

  • Introduced a greater difference in the power of different propeller blocks.

  • Rudders provide a greater ability to steer.

  • Buoyancy values for blocks have been refined.

• Boat propellers are now tripled in power, with the exception of the lowest rudder and propeller, which is 1.5 as powerful.

• A boat blocks filter button has been added to the Tech block inventory to show all boat blocks.

• Some example boats and amphibious planes can be found in Creative Mode if you continue past the take-off and landing strip to a jetty by the sea.

New flight and boat blocks

• SEA Relentless Duck Cab

• SKY Two Hull

• Sky Three Hull

• Small Double Bubble Wheel

• Large Double Bubble Wheel

• Spat Bubble Wheel

• Connector Spat Bubble Wheel

Quality of life improvements

• The HALO Relocator has been separated out from the Tech block group of Speedometer, Altimeter and Anemometer.

• A tooltip has been added to the bottom ribbon for toggling the display of the physics visualiser when in build mode.

• The objectives screen now has a scrollable panel instead of the older style pagination.

• An option has been added to the game options to "Only Show Hints Once."

• Allow respawn in Creative and Classic modes.

Localisation

• Portuguese language support has been added.

  • The current in-game translations are work-in-progress.

Bug fixes

• The following bugs should now be fixed in this update:

  • When picking up a stack of blocks from your Tech Yard Storage, returning them via Right Mouse Button duplicates the amount that get returned.

  • If you attach the Journeyman cab before progressing to the objective, then you must redo the objective to progress.

    • The game now retroactively recognises the completion of this objective.

  • Block variants text is sometimes illegible against the background.

  • Wheels will not function on boats with wings.

  • Flipped propellers still spin the same way.

    • They now spin in the correct direction.

  • It is possible to enable build beam in mid-flight.

    • This is now only possible when the Tech is on the ground.

  • Scanner UI remains on screen when the pause menu is active.

  • Auto-aim weapons aim at the oil spills.

  • You can run out of repair charges in Creative Mode.

    • Players have infinite repair charges in this mode now.

  • Client gets told they have an insufficient tiered weapon when attacking iron seams with a level 1 Resource Laser.

    • Insufficient weapon audio no longer plays and hint showing you aren't damaging the seam doesn't display any more.

  • Camera height changes too slowly when coming out of base interaction screens.

    • The camera returns to the Tech now, then stays the same after exiting an interactable structure.

  • The seams tutorial objective doesn't progress correctly in multiplayer when multiple players play through the tutorial together.

Until next time, Prospectors!

Hi there prospectors,

Welcome to another unstable update with a significant overhaul to improve the flight model and boats. We've made quite a lot of changes here that we're pretty confident will offer a much better experience when building and flying planes or sailing boats. Your existing plane and boat Techs may be markedly improved or possibly worse because of the changes that have been made and may need refining.

We've added some example planes, boats and amphibious planes to Creative Mode for you to try out. There are also some new blocks in this update to allow greater flexibility when placing the position of your plane wings for example to finesse your Tech builds.

Thanks as always for the invaluable feedback and bug reporting and we hope you enjoy playing this update.

⚠️Please note: This update is on Steam beta branch ttw_unstable - Work-in-progress version and may be unstable in places.

In the run up to promoting the latest unstable update to the default version of TerraTech Worlds, we want to improve the quality of the build by finding and fixing as many bugs as possible and refining how the game is balanced.

To play the unstable:

• Right click TerraTech Worlds in your Steam library, then select the "Properties" option from the drop down list.

• Now select "Betas" and then select the "Beta Participation" drop down box.

• Select the "ttw_unstable - work-in-progress version" from the drop down list.

• Your game will now update, and you will be playing on the unstable branch.

To send us your feedback and join the community:

• Join our discord server and select the unstable role via the #role-opt-in! channel. This will add you to the secret unstable channel where you can discuss your feedback/spoilers.

Remember to always back up your save games before switching to the unstable branch.

Flight improvements

• The flight controls have been improved to provide better controls for flying aircraft Techs; allowing the plane to pitch, roll and yaw in a more intuitive manner.

  • When flying, the camera moves to frame the Tech centrally.

  • Added yaw controls on mouse and keyboard (Q/E).

  • Disabled the auto-trim, which was forcing planes to fly level regardless of controls.

  • Disabled mid-air steering for winged Techs.

  • Gliding with no propulsion has also been improved.

• A flight blocks filter button has been added to the Tech block inventory to show all flight blocks.

• Some example planes can be found in Creative Mode; behind the starting position is a take-off and landing strip with 4 different sized planes to switch to and try out.

Boat improvements

• Boat travel has been improved to allow greater control of building and steering boats on water.

  • Introduced a greater difference in the power of different propeller blocks.

  • Rudders provide a greater ability to steer.

  • Buoyancy values for blocks have been refined.

• A boat blocks filter button has been added to the Tech block inventory to show all boat blocks.

• Some example boats and amphibious planes can be found in Creative Mode if you continue past the take-off and landing strip to a jetty by the sea.

New flight and boat blocks

• SEA Relentless Duck Cab

• SKY Two Hull

• Sky Three Hull

• Small Double Bubble Wheel

• Large Double Bubble Wheel

• Spat Bubble Wheel

• Connector Spat Bubble Wheel

Quality of life improvements

• The HALO Relocator has been separated out from the Tech block group of Speedometer, Altimeter and Anemometer.

• A tooltip has been added to the bottom ribbon for toggling the display of the physics visualiser when in build mode.

• The objectives screen now has a scrollable panel instead of the older style pagination.

• An option has been added to the game options to "Only Show Hints Once."

Bug fixes

• The following bugs should now be fixed in this update:

  • When picking up a stack of blocks from your Tech Yard Storage, returning them via Right Mouse Button duplicates the amount that get returned.

  • If you attach the Journeyman cab before progressing to the objective, then you must redo the objective to progress.

    • The game now retroactively recognises the completion of this objective.

Until next time, Prospectors!

    • Highest-tier power and yield

    • Can harvest Gold, Kimberlite (Diamonds) and all lower tier resources

Improvements to UI/UX (work-in-progress)

• The in-game UI/UX has been decluttered and streamlined to provide more screen space when playing the game.

  • Tech Cargo panel width has been reduced in size

    • Reduced from 8 cells across to 6 cells.

    • Cell height of storage containers updated accordingly.

    • Inventories from previous game saves should auto-arrange to the new layout.

• Reduced the toughness and damage of swamp enemies by 25%.

• Removed grenade launchers from all regular swamp enemies.

• Stack sizes for structure blocks has increased from 25 to 100 across all game modes.

Bug fixes

• The following bugs should now be fixed in this update:

  • Structure blocks can be duplicated when a block dropped, when one underneath is removed, can be collected by driving into it, but there's also a structure block crate that can also be collected.

  • Block variant selection doesn't work properly in the Blockpedia.

  • The Tech Yard hologram doesn't always show.

  • If you attach the Journeyman cab before progressing to the objective, then you must redo the objective to progress.

Hello Prospectors!

It’s time once again to take a look at what’s coming up for TerraTech Worlds. We're busy working through a list of improvements for the end of the year, mainly based on things we're hearing from our amazing community of TerraTech Worlds players. Our aim is to implement and deliver as much of, if not all of these things in monthly updates around the ends of October, November and December.

We’d love to hear your thoughts, ideas and feedback. Join us over on the TerraTech Worlds Discord and be part of shaping the future of the game. Until next time, Prospectors!

Don't forget to also check out the new Demo - your progress carries across to the full game! - TerraTech Worlds Team

Hi there prospectors,

Welcome to another update that introduces a new camera feature that's extremely useful when building bases and larger Techs.

Thanks as always for the invaluable feedback and bug reporting and we hope you enjoy playing this update.

Camera focus on a Tech or structure block

• When you're building a Tech or base in build mode, you can now focus the camera on any Tech or structure block by placing the cursor over the block you want the camera to focus on, then hold the right mouse button (or X button on a gamepad) for a brief moment. The camera will now focus on that block until you set the camera to focus on another block.

• This should make it easier when building bases and larger Techs.

Until next time, Prospectors!

- The TerraTech Worlds Team

It’s time to dive into TerraTech Worlds in our new free playable demo!
