TerraTech Legion brings brick-based vehicle building to the bullet heaven / survivor-like genre, and I absolutely cannot wait to play the full game.

Hello Prospectors!

A new year means a new face to introduce you to and this one’s a titan. Say hello to Jean Pierre “JP” Grandier and his Heavy Rig, GeoCorp’s rolling colossus clad in armour so dense the Legion hordes can barely scratch the paint.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
As a fully certified member of the GeoCorp Off‑World Mining Company, JP brings an entire arsenal of industrial‑grade construction (and destruction) tools to meet Legion head-on. Laser, drill, ram – whatever crushing and bashing it takes to secure the planet for his benefactors, JP is always ready to get to work.

JP specialises in massive, unstoppable ramming Techs. If you’re not building big, you’re not doing it right. He thrives in close‑quarters chaos, deflecting enemy fire and smashing through anything foolish enough to stand in his way. Relentless, implacable, and devastating, once JP gets moving, nothing stops this juggernaut.


[h2]Defence Shells[/h2]
This GeoCorp Tech arrives with cutting‑edge shield tech, letting JP absorb hit after hit. Upgrade it to detonate on depletion or even reflect incoming projectiles straight back to the sender, making it the perfect defensive offense.

[h2]Armoured Onslaught [/h2]
JP’s heavy rig is fitted with Boost Armour, making him a tank while charging through hordes of Legion bots. Unlock the Impact Crater ability to add a devastating frontal strike, unleashing a shockwave that crushes anything unlucky enough to stand in your way when you hit max boost.

[h2]Heavy Hitter[/h2]
Up close and personal is where JP shines, using Massive blocks to convert weight into damage. Build your Tech big, build it brutal, and become an unstoppable powerhouse.

That’s all for now; enjoy the trailer, and make sure to wishlist TerraTech Legion on Steam to support Payload – hopefully you’re as excited about Legion as we are.

Until next time, Prospectors!

[p]Hi Prospectors!

We’re back to show off a very fundamental part of TerraTech Legion that isn’t so common in the bullet-heaven genre – Building! We’re going to speak through a few fundamentals of our building system, and we’ll highlight some cool additions we’ve made since the demo.

As always, our game is in development, and is subject to change. Let’s get into it!

[/p][p]
[/p][h2]The Basics[/h2][p]Blocks have attach points (APs) that form the connections between blocks. You can rotate or flip blocks, using the WASD and F keys respectively, to position them how you’d like. You can manually pick blocks back up from your Tech and place them into the inventory or use the handy-dandy Shift+Click shortcut to remove them from your Tech quickly.

Leaving a block with an improper connection will cause it to hang – hanging blocks will fall off the next time you attach a block without connecting the hanging block. If you aren’t sure about a change, you can use the Z shortcut to undo and the Y shortcut to redo your change. You can quickly reference these shortcuts on the control ribbon at the bottom of the screen.

[/p][h2]Block Info[/h2][p]You’ll make lots of decisions when building your Tech, and there’s a lot of information that you’ll become accustomed to when making these decisions – luckily, there are accessible ways to access this information quickly.

Hovering over a block will show you its info panel, which will show you its different attributes, its description, and other information about special blocks – holding Shift will expand this info panel.

Hovering over a weapon block will show you its firing arc in addition to its info panel. The firing arc shows where the weapon will fire; other blocks will disrupt this firing arc, so it’s important to check firing arcs when your Tech is packed full of blocks.

Lastly, there are blocks that we call modifier blocks - or mod blocks - these blocks will adjust the attributes of other blocks on your Tech, and if you hover over a mod block, the blocks affected by the mod block will highlight and pulse.

[/p][h2]Putting it to Action[/h2][p]Now that we’ve explained the basic and advanced fundamentals of building in TerraTech Legion, we will teach you some ways to put these tips and tricks into action.

Using weapon mounts is a good way to buff your weapons and give them a clear firing arc at the same time! The block categories in the buff table often helps focus on the strongest attributes of your Tech, and can help highlight its shortcomings. Lastly, you can flip blocks to cleverly place them on your Tech in obscure places that help use all the space on your Tech effectively.

[/p][p][/p][p]That’s it for today, Prospectors. Thanks for reading our fundamentals on building, if you’d like a deeper dive on our design principles of building in a roguelite bullet-heaven, then please let us know.

Don’t forget to wishlist TerraTech Legion if you’re as excited for it to release as we are.

Until next time, Prospectors!
