Learn how to effectively gather resources and craft essential components in TerraTech. This guide covers missions, tech upgrades, and strategies for efficient resource management.
Missions are a major gameplay aspect in TerraTech, offering unique and intriguing adventures. Accepted at Trading Stations and presumably assigned by each corp, Missions provide rewards such as blocks (via crates), Block Bucks, and Experience, which is currently the most efficient way to upgrade one's license. Any salvage and techs provided during missions can be kept for future use.

Non-Unique Missions
These missions can usually appear any time at any trading station, and can be assigned by more than one corporation. Additionally, they are generally available at all grade levels. Unlike the Unique missions, Non-Unique missions are repeatable (can show up again in trading stations) and can be cancelled when you are at least 500m away from the destination. Missions of various types are offered by all corporations save for Reticule Research.
Their general difficulty scales up with the player's license. The higher the grade, the more challenges they will generally face such as lengthened timers in assaults and stronger opponents.
Generally, should the player encounter a hostile Tech that is armed with explosive bolts, they will be instantly activated, and should it split onto multiple techs, only the main tech that they split from must be destroyed to complete the relevant mission.
All Mission-spawned enemies are allied to each other, but hostile to the player, the player's allies, and any other enemy tech. This can be exploited by baiting a random spawn into fighting a tech that the player cannot tackle directly.
Unique missions or Story Missions are not listed here.
Races (Venture)
These missions have multiple variations including different tracks and general requirements to the player's Tech. In general, these have time limits, and are failed if they either run out of time or stray too far away from the track (this includes the player's tech being destroyed and respawning). Tracks are often generated on the spot and removed upon mission completion.
