TerraTech is a sandbox vehicle-creation and exploration game for the PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PS4. It was officially released on the tenth of August, 2018, after four years in early access.In the campaign, the player is a prospector gathering resources on a faraway planet and launching them back to Earth from a cannon. They can customise their mining rig, or "tech", with hundreds of blocks and tools that snap together to form just about anything, taking it from a tiny car with a drill on the front to a mountain-sized tank, mountain-sized aeroplane, an entire AI-controlled fleet or a mobile base which can craft when it sets down. Vehicular Combat quickly sets in as rival prospectors drive their techs along to destroy it all.Six different corporations offer the player membership: Hawkeye, Team Venture, GeoCorp, Better Future, Reticule Research and the Galactic Survey Organisation. As the player fights enemies and completes missions for each company, they level up their licenses and unlock more powerful equipment, but stronger opponents are sure to come sniffing around for their parts.The game features an arcade-style racing mode, the Gauntlet, where the player can design a custom racing tech and take on one of two racecourses, featuring hostile turrets, ramps, slaloms, jumps through hoops and the occasional explosive wall. Players can try as many techs as they fancy on each course in order to achieve the fastest time, competing on a locally-hosted leaderboard against whoever else plays TerraTech on the same computer. Players can share racing ghosts to take each other on.A Competitive Multiplayer mode allows players to select from eight pre-made techs and blow each other up in one of three arenas. Players can steal parts from downed enemies and find powerful weapons in crates that fall from the sky to grow stronger. The host for each match can choose between a free-for-all and a team-based battle. Alternatively, up to four players can work together in creative mode or a slightly stripped-down campaign with no crafting. | |

Gatling Good | |
| TerraTech (Video Game) / int_128e4ba8 | comment |
Gatling Good: The Hawkeye Auto Cannon is a fairly typical gatling gun, capable of shooting rapidly from six rotating barrels. Better Future has a gatling laser which fires just as fast. Venture offers the Dual Autocannon with two six-barrelled barrels. | |

More Dakka: A reliable strategy for mid-game techs. The more guns you have, the more damage you do; the only downside is that your tech needs space for all the guns which can cause conflicts with shields and repair bubbles. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| TerraTech (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Bertha is the biggest and longest-ranged cannon in the game as well as a great centrepiece for your tank. Nevertheless, it does less damage than the smaller MK-3 Battleship Cannon, ten of which could fit into the same space as one Bertha. It however is meant to be more of a joke weapon from a kickstarter donation. Besides, the real Big Bertha would seem too powerful for TerraTech. | |

Level Scaling: NPC techs spawn depending on the value of and weapon count on the player's tech, although there is some variance to either party's favour. TerraTech does not have actual "levels" aside from the license grades which determine what blocks are available. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| TerraTech (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Pyramid-shaped techs aren't pretty, but a simple pyramid or staircase hull offers plenty of space for guns while allowing them all to focus on a target and fire. Most GSO blocks fit this category. They aren't as powerful or as good-looking as things from flashier corporations, but they're accessible and reliable, or at least until you could procure a lot of better alternatives. For a fighting tech, it's hard to go wrong with a tank or armoured car full of batteries, decked out with shields and repair bubbles and covered in cannons. A simple tech like that will outlast and outgun most flashy, agility- or gimmick-based enemies. | |

Infinity -1 Sword: The GSO's Bertha cannon. The most powerful weapon the GSO offers takes up more space than the MK-3 (see below), but does less damage and has the same firing arc. It's still the second most powerful gun in the game, but most players go straight for battleship cannons. | |

Ambiguous Robots: All of the NPCs are techs made from (mostly) the same blocks the player can use, but humanoid and able to speak. Some of them ask the player to reattach parts to their bodies.

Full Venture builds. Venture blocks are lightweight and have very little health and their wheels are the fastest in the game, allowing for fast, weak techs.

Too Awesome to Use: Missiles are among the most powerful and versatile weapons in the game, but they also tend to be the most fragile, explosive and hard to obtain. Players with only a handful of missile launchers tend to hold them back until they can afford a souped-up combat tech which won't be losing fights any time soon. | |

A notable example is the hover glitch. If a tech contains a hover plate facing a wheel, the hover plate generates continuous thrust in one direction and can allow the tech to use ground controls whilst airborne.

Power Creep: GSO grade 5 has the Megaton Cannon, one of the most powerful weapons in the game. When an update gave GSO the new Gigaton Cannonnote a slower, but much more powerful version of the Megaton Cannon and the Big Berthanote an even slower, yet even more powerful cannon, with a limited firing arc, they were placed into GSO's highest grade: Grade 5. As a result, all three are unlocked at the same time. They also all have a blast radius large enough to ignore shields. They still have their uses, and usually not over each other. | |

Macross Missile Massacre: The Hive missile launcher shoots a continuous stream of missiles up into the air, launching a few every second for as long as you like. Avalanche launchers and GSO missile turrets can manage this as well. Since techs can be as large and have as many weapons as you like, even the slow-firing Hawkeye cruise missiles can do a Macross-style massacre if you have a couple of dozen. | |

Skippable Boss | |
| TerraTech (Video Game) / int_8c039bf3 | comment |
Skippable Boss: Wing-Nut can be cheesed in one of two ways. One would be to pay his toll (an exorbitant 100,000BB), or drive past the line and immediately off the bridge, causing him to follow and self destruct. However, both ways effectively deny most if not all of his valuable materials, such as those HG 1 turrets, Behemoth Wheels and Battleship Cannons. A third risky method is to rush inside his blindspot with a drill, then tear him apart. Those guns will typically survive and are free for the taking. | |

| TerraTech (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: Aeroplanes have to be lightweight and properly balanced to fly properly, but a well-made plane can bombard land-bound techs with missiles and bombs without taking a single hit. Drones and helicopters are just as awesome, but twice as difficult. Melee weapons deal heavy damage and can usually forget about shields, but using them requires you to get close to an enemy tech while enduring all its guns, so more often than not your weapons would be shot off before you get to use them. Full Venture builds. Venture blocks are lightweight and have very little health and their wheels are the fastest in the game, allowing for fast, weak techs. A few good shots from a Megaton cannon are usually enough to finish a Venture tech, but a skilled player can use it to run rings around slow enemies. Hover builds and anti-grav builds, in a way. Improperly built, both drift around like crazy, but anti-gravity blocks can provide a stable platform to rain sustained fire from. | |

| TerraTech (Video Game) / int_9c7e3137 | comment |
Hyperspace Arsenal: The player can carry tens of thousands of blocks in their inventory and pull out a block, or even deploy an entire tech, whenever they want to. Discarded blocks are sucked into Hammerspace by a "Singularity Containment Device". | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |
| TerraTech (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: The MK-3 battleship cannon from Hawkeye is the most damaging weapon in the game. Although it can only fire straight ahead, dozens of them can be packed into a relatively small space, nuking anything slow enough in one hit. Also from Hawkeye, the cruise missile is regarded as one of the best late-game weapons. It can strike from outside an enemy tech's detection radius to inflict high damage. Also from Hawkeye, the MK-50 naval turret, bringing three barrels of rapid-fire explosive DPS that outstrips smaller cannons with ease. Venture's double-barreled Rapid cannon has among the highest DPS in the game, is lighter and takes up less space than Hawkeye's competing cannons, although it has less health. | |

Emergent Gameplay | |
| TerraTech (Video Game) / int_a6848924 | comment |
Emergent Gameplay: TerraTech's building system and physics engine allow for a lot of creativity. Players have built incredible multi-techs such as walkers, tricycles and tanks, with varying levels of practicality in the campaign. A notable example is the hover glitch. If a tech contains a hover plate facing a wheel, the hover plate generates continuous thrust in one direction and can allow the tech to use ground controls whilst airborne. Players have exploited the hover glitch to build airships, perpetual motion machines and tricycles. | |

Clip Its Wings | |
| TerraTech (Video Game) / int_aecacbd5 | comment |
Clip Its Wings: Wings in TerraTech are fragile, not to mention hard to cover with shields and repair bubbles, so shooting one off is a valid strategy to disable an aeroplane. Except there aren't many to begin with. Since hostile planes aren't in the game yet, this trope is usually done to the player's aircraft. By trees. | |

Cool Bike: Two-wheeled techs can be made easily enough with Hawkeye's bike wheels and Venture's fork wheels, although they need a few gyros to balance properly. Bikes can be fitted with guns, missiles and rocket boosters as desired, although resource processing is usually too heavy. | |

Roboteching: A tech can have upwards- or side-facing missile launchers to launch salvos which will quickly change direction and home in on the target. The Hawkeye missile battery and the Cluster and HIVE missile launchers are pretty much designed for this trope, launching missiles straight up or at an angle so they can swerve down. Unless you have them pointing forwards. | |
