TerraTech News

Hey Prospectors,

Matt here with a new update for you!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The Reticule Research lead experimenter, Atom, needs a new lab assistant to assist in some 'experiments.' Are you up to the task? Check your nearest mission board for more details.

You can now create your own blocks using our Modding Tool. New functionality means you can upload custom blocks to the Steam Workshop! For more info and instructions check our How-to Wiki here.

We've also included translation updates thanks to the TT Translators.

Enjoy!

  [h3]First time players getting stuck on a black screen?[/h3]
  Are you trying to launch TerraTech for the first time, but the game gets stuck on a black screen?
  We've had reports of players encountering this issue and we're working on a fix for it.
  
  Please accept our apologies. In the meantime, please follow these steps that should provide a workaround:
  
  1) Go to your Steam Library, right-click on TerraTech and select "Properties..."
  2) In the new window that opens, select the "BETAS" tab
  3) Select "1.3.5 - Version 1.3.5" then click "CLOSE"
  4) Once the update has applied, launch the game
  5) Create a user profile when prompted
  6) Quit the game then repeat steps 1 & 2.
  7) Select "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs"
  
  Once the game has updated again, you should now be able to play the latest version of TerraTech, version 1.4.1.

[h3]Information:[/h3]

• In order to prevent further delay in releasing an update to the game, we have decided to disable the Zero Point Hollow mission in Co-op Campaign for now. There are several known issues with the mission in co-op mode that require more time to fix. We'll tackle these bugs after version 1.4.1 gets released.
