About TerraTech Worlds
TerraTech Worlds drops you onto a 300 km² alien planet where you can roam solo or with friends. The world runs without loading screens, offering diverse biomes, a day/night cycle, and dynamic weather that shape your adventure.
You can build and customise vehicles, automate factories, terraform terrain, and fight hostile factions. The game blends open‑world exploration with deep crafting, base‑building, and combat systems, all supported by full controller compatibility and online co‑op.
01 / THE GUIDE
Exploration
The planet spans 300 km² with continuous terrain, letting you wander from acidic Swamps to snowy Arctic without loading screens. Biomes host dangerous plant life, weather effects, and enemy bases that encourage careful navigation.
A day/night cycle and dynamic weather add visual variety, making each trek feel fresh. Exploring deep Woodlands or open plains reveals resources and enemy techs, rewarding thorough scouting.
- Observe weather patterns before entering exposed areas to avoid sudden hazards.
- Use the planet’s varied biomes as natural landmarks for navigation.
02 / THE GUIDE
Craft & Automate
You can expand bases with automated production lines that refine minerals, scrap parts, and generate ammunition. Conduit networks manage material flow while power infrastructure scales with factory growth.
Automation lets you keep resources stocked without manual intervention, letting you focus on expansion or combat. Complex setups can be built to handle multiple resource types simultaneously.
- Start with simple conveyor loops before adding extensive conduit networks.
- Balance power generation with consumption to prevent factory stalls.
03 / THE GUIDE
Create & Customise
Design Techs—vehicles for mining or combat—using a visual customiser. You can adjust appearance and apply stat modifiers to optimise performance for specific missions.
Customisation extends to bases as well, allowing you to shape structures until they meet your aesthetic and functional goals, then fine‑tune stats for efficiency.
- Experiment with different stat modifiers to see which best suit your playstyle.
- Match vehicle design to its primary role, such as heavy armor for combat Techs.
04 / THE GUIDE
Mine & Terraform
Extract exotic resources from the planet’s surface and use free‑form terraforming tools to reshape terrain. You can flatten areas for racetracks or raise peaks for defensive advantage.
Terraforming works alongside mining, letting you prepare land for bases, roads, or strategic high ground, integrating resource gathering with landscape design.
- Plan terraforming before building large bases to avoid later re‑work.
- Combine mining sites with nearby power sources for efficient operation.
05 / THE GUIDE
Combat & Defense
Encounter a range of enemy Techs as you expand territory. Research new blocks to upgrade combat capability and experiment with specialised builds for stronger offense or defence.
Co‑op play lets you raid enemy bases together, pushing back hostile factions while protecting your own installations with custom‑built defenses.
- Scout enemy bases first to identify weak points before a full assault.
- Coordinate with teammates to balance firepower and defensive structures.
