Hey prospectors,
Now TerraTech has officially launched it's time to add the first post-release update!
We've got a brand spanking new Tech Loader than makes managing your Techs super simple. You can search, filter, delete and load your Techs, all in a few in-game clicks.
As well as some new blocks, cloud save support, bug fixes and optimisations, we've reworked the matchmaking and lobby code in order to get us one big step closer to Co-Op modes.
Enjoy!
Matt
