TerraTech Worlds is an open-world, PVE survival crafting game where players explore a vast alien planet, scavenging for resources and building unique vehicles and bases block by block. A core aspect of exploration is the planet's diverse range of biomes, each presenting a distinct environment with its visual style, geological features, and native flora. These biomes, such as the initial Grasslands, resource-rich Mountains, or barren Salt Flats, are not just aesthetically different; they dictate the types of challenges players face and, crucially, the specific resources available.
