[p]Hi there prospectors,[/p][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks as always for the invaluable feedback and bug reporting and we hope you enjoy playing this update.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]A new planet, Phaeton[/h3]

• [p]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.[/p]
• [p]Phaeton has different topology compared to Nibiru, with greater land mass and less sea.[/p]
• [p]The game progression on Phaeton is more freeform, compared to Nibiru.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Game balancing changes[/h3]

[p][/p][h3]Quality of life improvements[/h3]

• [p]Game objectives are now grouped by biomes in the Prospector Portal.[/p]
• [p]Once you have discovered the Forest Trader, you can then teleport between any discovered Traders and Bastion S.E.E.D.s.[/p]
• [p]Blockpedia links have been added from within Blockpedia pages.[/p]
  • [p]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.[/p]
• [p]In the Blockpedia, resources are now considered discovered when they're a recipe input for a discovered structure.[/p]
• [p]When loading Tech snapshots, the panel now uses a scrolling page instead of the older pagination.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Bug fixes[/h3]

• [p]The following bugs should now be fixed in this update:[/p]
  • [p]Mining Fluorine only produces debris.[/p]
    • [p]Fluorine is now produced when mining with tier 4 and above resource lasers.[/p]

[p]Hi there prospectors,[/p][p][/p][p]We've fixed a widely reported issue caused when the player buys the Wide Gauge Resource Laser before being told to do so, causing the objective to not be completable. We had a fix for this queued up as part of our next planned unstable update, but felt this fix was important enough to be worthy of a hotfix update, so here it is.[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks as always for the invaluable feedback and bug reporting and we hope you enjoy playing this update.[/p][p][/p][h3]Bug fixes[/h3]

• [p]When buying a Wide Gauge Resource Laser ahead of the objective to buy it has been set, the game now recognises that the player has it and the objective completes and moves onto the next one.[/p]

[p]Hi there prospectors,[/p][p][/p][p]Welcome to another update with a significant overhaul to improve the flight model and boats. We've made quite a lot of changes here that we're pretty confident will offer a much better experience when building and flying planes or sailing boats. Your existing plane and boat Techs may be markedly improved or possibly worse because of the changes that have been made and may need refining.[/p][p][/p][p]We've added some example planes, boats and amphibious planes to Creative Mode for you to try out. There are also some new blocks in this update to allow greater flexibility when placing the position of your plane wings for example to finesse your Tech builds.[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks as always for the invaluable feedback and bug reporting and we hope you enjoy playing this update.[/p][p][/p][h3]Flight improvements[/h3]
