Description

TerraTech Worlds is an open-world, build-craft exploration adventure game, set on an uncharted alien world. Playing solo or with friends, you’ll explore your surroundings, craft unique vehicles, construct automated bases, and battle your way through natural hazards and challenging enemies to harness the power of your environment.

CRAFT & AUTOMATE

Expand your base with complex, automated production lines to refine minerals, scrap spare parts and keep you stocked with ammunition. Design intricate conduit networks to manage production, and scale up your power infrastructure to keep pace as the factory grows.

CREATE & CUSTOMISE

Create different Techs to meet different needs. From mining to combat, you can build the perfect vehicle for the mission! Visually customise your Techs and bases until everything is just to your liking, then optimise your Tech by taking advantage of powerful stat modifiers.

MINE & TERRAFORM

Expand and consolidate your planetary infrastructure by extracting exotic resources from the world around you. Resculpt the landscape to suit your needs with free-form terraforming tools - from flattening out a racetrack to creating peaks and valleys for base defence!

EXPLORE & DISCOVER

Explore a 300km² planet with no loading, no streaming and no limits, populated by rich and diverse environment biomes, with a day/night cycle, dynamic weather, dangerous plant life, hostile enemy factions and bases, and more. Venture deep into strange Woodlands, traverse the acidic Swamps, dodge lightning storms and enter the snowy Arctic.

COMBAT & DEFENSE

Encounter and overcome a diverse range of enemy Techs as you expand your territory, scavenging and researching new blocks to upgrade your combat capability. Face down dangerous opponents, experiment with ever-more powerful and specialised combat builds, and team up with your fellow Prospectors to raid enemy bases and push back the frontier.

TerraTech Worlds is a surprisig game. Seemingly ambitious and complex, but it's the epitomy of the saying "wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle". Mind you, the "wide as an ocean" isn't a compliment here, it just means

Nah, sorry. I gave this game multiple chances to prove me wrong… but honestly, it feels as far away from the TerraTech experience as possible. 1. Crafting Why… just why do I need to grind resources to build a base that

Largely abandonware seeing as Payload is alaready releasing another game leaving older and unfinished titles in the dust. What a shame, but I guess that's what happens when an indie studio gets money hungry and too big
