TerraTech Worlds · build 21750152 · published
Hi there prospectors,
Welcome to another unstable 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.
⚠️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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Until next time, Prospectors!
