UNSTABLE: TerraTech Legion 1.0.6 Update 1

Hi Prospectors,

Our 1.0.6 Unstable Update brings fresh Blocks, improvements to Survival Mode and new ways to finesse your Tech build.  

Firstly, we’ve spent some time creating new Blocks to fill a few gaps we identified in the Corporation Block pools. Our goal is to provide a more rounded offering for each Corporation, covering ranged, impact, and drone Blocks. It also gave us a chance to share some of our…wilder ideas (looking at you, Star Flail).

We’ve also heard that many of you want more ways to build into a particular Tech damage type. Our new crate‑reward flow added to the end of large encounters means you’ll now be able to choose the weapon‑type crate that best suits your Tech.

Beyond this, we’ve made several quality‑of‑life improvements to Survival Mode, with a strong focus on stability. We believe we’ve fixed those run‑ending crashes, though they can be tricky to track down, so please bear with us.

Let’s dive into the details…

⚠️Please note: This update is on Steam beta branch 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 Legion, 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 Legion 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 "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.

Location Reward Drop Pod

‎Shape your run with the rewards offered from seeking out and beating Challenges.

New in this version - completing locations on the map (called out with the ‘?’ icon on your screen edge) now provide a reward drop pod instead of random rewards. Trigger the location by driving up onto the landing pad and defeat the big enemy or swarm of enemies to call down a special drop that will allow you to pick the reward crate that best suits your needs.

Choose from:

• Ballistic

• Impact

• Energy

• Drone

• Precision

• Explosive

• Or, if you are feeling lucky, a Wild Card crate.
