- Development Update: Information Overload - 2 September 2026
Hi, Prospectors!We have a big update in the works, and we want to share a small snippet of what’s in store. Today, we’re showing off the fancy upgrades coming to the Blockpedia, designed to make crafting your dream Tech build more straightforward than ever. We call it the Codex.The Blockpedia is already a powerful tool - a prospector’s one stop shop for vital information on every single Block in the game. If you’ve discovered a new Block on a run, this is where you dive in for the lowdown on its stats and tags. The new Codex will take you deeper, providing rapid access to everything you need to know about each weapon tag, type and property in the game. Plus, the Codex empowers you to explore the various temporary buffs you can find in bases during your runs, opening fresh possibilities for hyper-focused builds that stack the odds in your favour. We’re hopeful that this will provide more…

- TerraTech Legion 1.0.7 Update - XP For All - 15 July 2026
Hi Prospectors, Big news! We’ve been listening to your feedback and heard some frustration around our current XP system. Sometimes you’re having to play as a character you’re less keen on - and while unlocking a new pilot is cool, it can feel like having to start from scratch. We hear you and have made a major change. XP is now shared across all characters (XP For All), allowing you to earn XP with one character and spend it on another.We’ve also updated several Planet Challenges. Some no longer have character requirements, others have been made easier and a few have been completely reworked. More skill and strategy, far less relying on RNG.To support the hunt for Corrupted Blocks, we’ve added a new temporary buff: Exploration. It zooms out your minimap, highlights all Corrupted Block locations, and provides a small speed boost - making those elusive blocks far more manageable to track…

- TerraTech Legion 1.0.6 Update - Sun's Out, Guns Out - 9 June 2026
Hi Prospectors,Our 1.0.6 Update brings fresh Blocks, improvements to Survival Mode, and new ways to finesse your Tech build. Firstly, we’ve spent some time creating new Blocks to fill a few gaps we identified in the Corporation Block pools.

It also gave us a chance to share some of our…wilder ideas (looking at you, Star Flail).We’ve also heard that many of you want more ways to build into a particular Tech damage type. Our new crate‑reward flow added to the end of large encounters means you’ll now be able to choose the weapon‑type crate that best suits your Tech.Beyond this, we’ve made several quality‑of‑life improvements to Survival Mode, with a strong focus on stability. We believe we’ve fixed those run‑ending crashes, though they can be tricky to track down, so please bear…
