Patch Notes for unstable update 0.6.8-unstable.1

Hi there prospectors,

Welcome to another unstable update that offers improvements to structure block building and introduces the ability to deploy multiple Techs in Creative Mode, as well as other quality of life improvements.

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.

Improvements to structure blocks attachment

• The algorithm for determining how structure blocks attach to each other has been improved to provide a more intuitive building experience.

• This is an ongoing effort to improve the block building process as much as possible and we welcome any feedback that players have.

  • If a structure block isn't attaching as you'd expect it to, please let us know.

Tech placement and allegiance switching

• In Creative Mode, you can now place additional Techs in the world via Tech snapshots.

  • Select a Tech snapshot, click the "Deploy" button and place new Tech in the world.

• Techs can be set to be controlled by the player, set to neutral, set as an enemy or packed away.

• This allows other players to test drive any Tech that isn't controlled by a player.

Camera focus on a Tech or structure block

• An icon is now displayed when attempting to focus the camera on a Tech or structure block that's too far from the player's Tech.

Until next time, Prospectors!
