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.

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

As a longtime big fan of Payload and TerraTech I gave this a wiiiide birth to recover. It's still "early access" as they release Legion, and aside from lush new graphics, a new frustrating method of transport (boats)

Feels like abandonware. Updates aren't going to happen now that they have another game, also flying is very weird. Pieces and "companies" in game are now missing and under one thing, which makes it lose all identity.

Do not let the nice graphics and sounds trick you. Like others pointed out: No depth in gameplay and lacking coherent logic. The more mass you add to your vehicle the faster it drives - tested in a circle on flat

Honestly id rather they had updated the graphics of Old Terratch to Terratech worlds and added oceans and basing.I genuinely hate how unbelievably complicated just trying to make something work in water or fly without
