i love the idea of doing the opposite of what the corp is supposed to! maybe for GSO you do a juggernaut of a craft, with tiny gso shields and batteries covering it
I'd say that the opposite of GSO, would be creating an extremely niche and specialised craft, that can only do one thing, as that would be the true opposite of a generalist.
Its funny how when you want to create a plane specifically in this game, it often has issues taking off or staying in the sky, flying straight, etc. But as soon as you try to build a small, fast ground vehicle, suddenly it just flies better than any purpose built plane xD
6:14 Lathrix: "It's always nice building everything from scratch with your own three hands" I know it's probably half intentional but that is still hilarious
The hawkeye one could be a harvester or mobile refinery/scraper type thing, a Better future Mele craft and maybe a GSO Craft that only uses a limited selection of blocks and of course the venture craft is an armoured tank. Oh, and the reticule research one could use whatever the least sci-fi of the weapons they have.
Tech ideas GSO: Make it bad at everything. Bad steering, speed, damage, battery... Venture: A slow tank with heavy shields and many batteries and a lot of autocannons Geocorp: Flyer Hawkeye: Resource harvester Better Future: A melee combat tech Reticule Research: A completed tech Edit: Spelling
For GSO, you could make a ridiculously specialized vehicle that can basically only do one thing, to balance the generalism, and for Hawkeye you could make a gathering craft to counter the militarist aesthetic.
Btw with most recording software now they allows auto file splitting (eg. obs 28 has this) and this allows it so if your computer fails you only lose up to the last split and not the whole recording, sometimes this is an extra plugin though (I commented this last vid but TH-cam deleted it no idea why)
hu but then why do the cabs seam like they ment for people. its even in the name... no my depressed brain for now is best to not question this i have had a shit day and its only gonna get worse once im no longer alone at home so im just not gonna try to recover till the days following.
Do you have a source for that, because the in-game flavor text on multiple blocks contradicts you. For example, the basic GeoCorp cab's in-game description/flavor text says: "A real off-world miner's cab, for doing heavy work. A bossy guy known as Joe Williams Huston created this cab so he could monitor his workers. . He was later presumed dead from the cab dislodging itself from his over watch while making blueprints for the last and final version of the cab. The blueprints were uncovered years later and applied to the 19th Edition Foreman Cab though he himself was never found. The cab is banned in over 3000 planets due to workers slacking off and is referred to as "Huston" by GeoCorp on those planets. Most haven't caught on to the code word yet." Another example is the GSO cab armor plate, which says: "An armour plate with a porthole in the side so that can see out." Underlined key parts for emphasis.
okay well , this may be a dumb theory however , i think people are actually in cabs and do pilot the techs but to prevent them from dying when their tech is destroyed the person is probably teleported to safety before the cab can COMPLETELY detonate
eh, *I THINK* most of them are AI's. only corporate agents and special bosses are real people. that's why someone like the CUBE guy just flees from combat with his stupid slave AI's doing all the work. Edit: most marauders also probably just send AI tech down, while they hail you from their orbiter. why should you risk your life for barely any financial gain when you already have enough money to send multiple tech down to bully some poor sod's tech? also, i forgot to say "I THINK".
I love the idea for the tech being the opposite of what their corporation usually represents and after you are with them all make a Frankenstein of all the techs put together without adding or taking away any blocks basically the same amount and types of blocks that make up the tech corps put together
Consider; If you stick with making opposite techs to make the gso one an amalgam of all corporations, taking their specialties to specialize on EVERYTHING, a flyer, driver, tank, quick moving, scrapping capable monster of an endgame tech etc etc; Dunno how possible it'd be just a thought from a fellow terratecher! Also love the series, and have done since the first terratech series, used to watch ftd back in the day and terratech sorta scratches that itch! Much love
Loving the TerraTech series, loads! I remember you asking for new series ideas a couple months back or so, and I would like to pitch the idea of doing another Modded Reassembly series. Don't stop TerraTech or nothing, just mix it into the rotation, ya know. From the Depths, Reassembly and TerraTech are my top 3 favorite series on the channel. You really can't go wrong, and I'm sure there's gotta be some pretty cool new mods for Reassembly.
I personally think the techs are controlled remotely like the lore. But I think the reason they have windows is because they are driven by robots, the controller uses vr to drive the things safely, so his consciousness is “transferred” to the robot. They use special suits that have the robot mimic their movements exactly, and I think that the prospectors are either in orbit on a controlling station, wich is why tech fall from the sky, or they are on a planet that has been turned into a city planet, and they are in a controlling area. There are robots in each cab, and if the robot is destroyed, that’s when you get the respawn mechanic and the tech comes down from the orbiting tech/controller station.
1:26 "since gso is so general purpouse" What is the oposit of general purpous and well rounded? Hyper specialized and niche ofcourse! Edit: like a souly rocket powerd missile attack jet for example
Wow I do so love your work. So glad that you are doing something other than Stellaris again. I love your Terratech and FTD content so very much! You are so creative and make really cool looking craft.
14:08 I recommend magnets and turning as items are dragged in and then once everything is in one place, you can use the SCU Especially for cases like 16:30 where things are scattered around, outside of a normal SCU's range
bro, i watched you play this back when you made the first series on it but i just bought the game and getting to play it for the first time as you come back and play the same update is so cool, im learning all kinds of cool things from watching this series. side note: i dont comment much or anything but ive been watching your videos for years, watched 90% of your from the depths videos and stuff and i just wanted to say that you are one of my favorite ppl to watch play games, your chaotic playstyle is awesome
Love the idea of doing the opposite of what a corporation was meant for, and for GSO you could make a craft that servers one very specific purpose. It wouldn't be very practical, but GSO's thing is they're a jack of all trades, so the opposite would be a tech with only one purpose.
I've been watching you for years, sence the old robocraft days befor the titain blocks, you're the last of the old gaurd that I watched and I can't thank you enough for almost a decade of videos!
I don't blame you with those solar panels; the Hawkeye block animations are absolutely amazing. Also, the main reason I think for flying being easy is that when building a fast craft, you're already making it have a really, really good power-to-weight ratio, so when that power doesn't stop in the air, it doesn't really need much angle to generate effective lift.
First of all, I love the intros, they’re so much fun, second of all I like the idea of the text so the opposite of their organization. Maybe for GSO you make like a sniping tech, because that’s like a super specific type of combat? Congrats on the computer. I look forward to watching more of the series
Lathrix : "Let's build a stunt bike" Lathrix's stunt bike : "I'm a plane weeeee" Quality Terratech moment xD On a more serious note, I'm all for the opposite purpose challenge. Specially curious about a Venture tanky tech.
**GSO (general purpose):** Something specialized, like an armor plated Missile Truck [is Katyusha time, comrades]. **Geocorp (mining/melee):** Flying death machine/ ranged fortress. **Venture (speedy scouts/ long range travel):** stable, All-terrain superweapon. **Hawkeye (Guns guns and more guns):** Venture but edgy™. Small [for Hawkeye] scout craft with spider eyes, perhaps...? **Better Future (Hover Fiends):** Heavily Armed & Armored ground vehicle. **Reticule Research (????):** something Tried and true [Preferably with tons of swarmer missiles].
That intro had me gasping for air laughing! I really didn't expect that, even though it's a Lathrix video... Keep being awesome Lathrix, take care and stay safe!
I'm glad everything is looking up for ya, but we're here for ya whether there's a ton of progress or not! You always bring a flair to the different games that is loved! Thanks for everything you do!
Hey Lathrix, here's a tip: Kinetic weapons(aka non-explosive guns like the Venture Hail fire Rifle and especially the Hawkeye Auto Cannon) actually do more damage against shields than explosive weapons do. The counter to Kinetic weapons is armor plating, as it will absorb the bullets and stop the damage from getting beyond them. The counter to armor plating, as you may guess, is explosive damage, as the explosion will just go through the armor plating and hit the blocks behind it. Shields are meant to counter explosive weapons, while armor counters Kinetic weapons.
The blocks take a second to explode after they hit critical health, so that might be what you are talking about. Venture repair bubbles actually tick every half second so they can keep blocks alive, even though they should explode. One shortcoming I noticed with laser boats is lasers don't seem to do damage to the armor plates and blocks. So don't be surprised if it doesn't look like its ever going to get through the GEO Shock Plating, cause it won't.
Hey Lath! I don’t really comment much cause it’s not my thing on YT but I wanted to say I love your videos and they always seem to reignite my interest in terratech! When I saw you started your new season I started a new one of my own and made some techs that I put on steam cause I think they came out really nice! Enjoy the season and I look forward to more terratech! TLDR: I really like Lath’s terratech videos
Both you and SJB have the best intros! Though every once in a while it would be nice to hear your original intro (the one I've been listing to since plagued inc and robocraft).
Fun fact: the camo paint scheme on the armor plates makes it look like they strapped tracks onto the vehicle as additional armor, something that was done in WWII to add a few extra millimeters of protection.
The idea of doing a permanent tech that does the exact opposite of what the corporation represents is awesome and something you have never done. As for GSO do a highly specialized tech since GSO is general purpose. Love your videos keep up the good work
Lorewise: There *are* people in the cabs, but the cabs have a side-dimensional ejection system for safety that tosses you safely into Another Dimension(TM) and lets you crawl back out into another Cab easily enough. Cabs are special because they have the beacons to let you swap between them via Another Dimension(TM) at relatively short ranges.
on the subject of the cabs having people: Reading the GEO Corp's main cab, it states that it has lots of luxury accommodations for a single person in them, including a hot tub.
DRINKING GAME: Take a drink every time Lathrix mentions how he should build a Venture tech. The game ends when he finally builds a Venture tech. BEGIN!
A common comment I like the return of terra tech i gotta confess i once had a cracked out of date version of it but without lathrixs voice it wasnt the same
Your Hawkeye tank bounces because the tank treads are not far enough apart. Push the back 2 treads another 2 or 3 blocks back and it will stabilize. As for opposite a Hawkeye harvester, a better future ground vehicle, a geocorp small combat vehicle and a venture battle tank.
According to the lore, some cabs are driven, some piloted from afar, and some are AI in housings that look like cabs. In the steam trading cards, it's heavily implied that the enemy hawkeye crafts during missions are all part of an AI cult.
It may not be accurate to your idea for opposites, but I made a little flying fish with an antigrav block, a gyroscope, and a better future full tail fin, bonus stability by adding air brakes along the body and a gso shield+venture battery to keep weight down It's fun to drive
The opposite concept intrigued me. As soon as you said "tanky venture craft", I said "good luck". Even their big monster truck wheels are extremely weak. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Hey Lathrix, I really like the "opposite of corporation's purpose" techs suggestion, so here are my ideas. GSO: A large hovercraft - something I've been trying to do for a while with no success. I find GSO's hover pads really hard to use, so I would say this is the least intended use for GSO. GeoCorp: The battleship you have already, 'nuff said. Venture: A heavily armed tank, ideally using the Titan Truck wheels (love those things), or lots of tracks. This would give you an excuse to use Sonic Lances. Also, Venture bubbles are tiny, so it'll be covered in them, which will look ridiculous. Hawkeye: A racing tech (with a ton of boosters), or a vehicle for covering long distances, not combat. Would ideally be a grounded craft - just needs to be really fast. Better Future: A harvester. Constant laser weapons would probably work well for this (They also have plasma cutters), and it would need to use the Swipe Collector - the only one Better Future has. Good luck with that one. This would be grounded as well, since Better Future has way more options for flyers. Reticule Research: Either a plane, or an anti-gravity tech. I know RR doesn't have flight items, so it would be built completely out of RR stuff and have an anti-grav engine and/or propulsion from other corporations stuck on it, then painted in RR colours if possible. These could also be hidden so it looks like it's all Reticule Research. It would be cool to see the RR weapons working from the sky. Failing that, literally anything that isn't a trailer or turret (like the ones from the missions) would work. Some of these will probably require one or two blocks from other corporations, like conveyors, but they could mostly be done out of only the intended one. Hope you trying making a couple of them.
For GSO, you could treat it as the opposite to Better Future. Make a weird hovering laser craft out of GSO stuff and then make a hulking mess of guns out of Better Future.
Weird idea, fun but weird. Put the lasers on the side so you have to spin in order to attack properly and if you have a bunch of shields it’ll spread the damage out
I like the build ideas and here are some thoughts better future: use the steampunk skin to make it seem less... Environmentally friendly Hawkeye: a mining tech Geocorp: a fighting tech Venture: a tank Gso: a no purpose build Not sure about reticule research though
When I think of GSO I think of lasers, mortars, and pound cannons, all on tiny, poorly defended, hodgepodge techs with lots of thimble collectors pointing every which way. Also: Spud
If GSO is the general-purpose faction, that means you have to create a GSO build that can only fulfill exactly one (1) incredibly specific purpose.
Maybe going extremely fast tech for GSO?
that or just it's driver cube for comedy (forgot how they're called) 'cuz it does have a drill and a gun
That’s what I’m saying
moving
Like shoot enemies from extremely short range
i love the idea of doing the opposite of what the corp is supposed to! maybe for GSO you do a juggernaut of a craft, with tiny gso shields and batteries covering it
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES
Definitely, 90% of GSO you see is tiny. We need something BIG!
I'd say that the opposite of GSO, would be creating an extremely niche and specialised craft, that can only do one thing, as that would be the true opposite of a generalist.
BETTER FUTURE WITH NO HOVERS!
“Greetings you human-shaped techs created by someone with a serious sense of humour.” - Latharix 2022
Its funny how when you want to create a plane specifically in this game, it often has issues taking off or staying in the sky, flying straight, etc.
But as soon as you try to build a small, fast ground vehicle, suddenly it just flies better than any purpose built plane xD
These intros are really nice. Hope everything's okay for you Lath. Still looking forward to another 'drunken stick'.

@@Kotiri I'm just glad someone knew the reference. 😀
if GSO is the "general purpose" faction, why not make a hyper-specific, incredibly niche craft?
The opposite of each corp is a great idea. There you go. Let's see everything built before this series ends.
A very slow venture

Thanks for pointing this out. I was unaware of that feature.
The techs are being controlled from a remote location.
They did this lore wise so thier game wouldnt be 18+ in several countries
hu but then why do the cabs seam like they ment for people. its even in the name...
no my depressed brain for now is best to not question this i have had a shit day and its only gonna get worse once im no longer alone at home so im just not gonna try to recover till the days following.
The geocorp basic cab says it has insane amounts of accommodations and was thus banned on most planets. Point in them actually being cabs team.
Good to know I'm not a mass murderer
And the Joyride mission can just be a kid stealing a remote

6:15 - Lathrix confirms he's a genestealer hybrid. Inquisition has been contacted.
Consider; If you stick with making opposite techs to make the gso one an amalgam of all corporations, taking their specialties to specialize on EVERYTHING, a flyer, driver, tank, quick moving, scrapping capable monster of an endgame tech etc etc; Dunno how possible it'd be just a thought from a fellow terratecher!
Also love the series, and have done since the first terratech series, used to watch ftd back in the day and terratech sorta scratches that itch!
Much love
Lathrix your voice is sent from the gods. It’s so unfathomably relaxing that it feels illegal. Also the top hat is the best hat.
I love this new series with "NO HARVESTING" 🤣😂
Just watched every video last night, it's so entertaining and your voice is so nice to listen to 🥰😀
Loving the TerraTech series, loads!
I remember you asking for new series ideas a couple months back or so, and I would like to pitch the idea of doing another Modded Reassembly series.
Don't stop TerraTech or nothing, just mix it into the rotation, ya know.
From the Depths, Reassembly and TerraTech are my top 3 favorite series on the channel.
You really can't go wrong, and I'm sure there's gotta be some pretty cool new mods for Reassembly.
I love the opposite idea. Venture loves being tiny, so a massive craft with tiny venture repair bubbles only would be hilarious
Glad to have you back Lathrix! Looking forward to lots of new terratech content!

**Hawkeye (Guns guns and more guns):** Venture but edgy™. Small [for Hawkeye] scout craft with spider eyes, perhaps...?
**Better Future (Hover Fiends):** Heavily Armed & Armored ground vehicle.
**Reticule Research (????):** something Tried and true [Preferably with tons of swarmer missiles].
I love the idea of opposite corporation techs! In fact, I actually suggested that in the first episode!
love that you are back into doing Terra Tech vids. (would love to see you do a series using the Greentech Mod)

I've been here since the first terratech season and I for one am overjoyed seeing its return! But keep doing you Lath I love the content
Hey Lathrix, here's a tip: Kinetic weapons(aka non-explosive guns like the Venture Hail fire Rifle and especially the Hawkeye Auto Cannon) actually do more damage against shields than explosive weapons do. The counter to Kinetic weapons is armor plating, as it will absorb the bullets and stop the damage from getting beyond them. The counter to armor plating, as you may guess, is explosive damage, as the explosion will just go through the armor plating and hit the blocks behind it. Shields are meant to counter explosive weapons, while armor counters Kinetic weapons.
20:52 aww, Lathrix is helping an Alien Ant Farm
The blocks take a second to explode after they hit critical health, so that might be what you are talking about. Venture repair bubbles actually tick every half second so they can keep blocks alive, even though they should explode.
One shortcoming I noticed with laser boats is lasers don't seem to do damage to the armor plates and blocks. So don't be surprised if it doesn't look like its ever going to get through the GEO Shock Plating, cause it won't.
(1:00) Sounds hilarious. Go for it. The GSO craft should be something ridiculously over-specialized for one task.
Hey Lath! I don’t really comment much cause it’s not my thing on YT but I wanted to say I love your videos and they always seem to reignite my interest in terratech!

According to the lore, some cabs are driven, some piloted from afar, and some are AI in housings that look like cabs. In the steam trading cards, it's heavily implied that the enemy hawkeye crafts during missions are all part of an AI cult.
Love your videos. Looking forward for more Terratech.
It may not be accurate to your idea for opposites, but I made a little flying fish with an antigrav block, a gyroscope, and a better future full tail fin, bonus stability by adding air brakes along the body and a gso shield+venture battery to keep weight down
It's fun to drive
The opposite concept intrigued me. As soon as you said "tanky venture craft", I said "good luck". Even their big monster truck wheels are extremely weak. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Hey Lathrix, I really like the "opposite of corporation's purpose" techs suggestion, so here are my ideas.
GSO: A large hovercraft - something I've been trying to do for a while with no success. I find GSO's hover pads really hard to use, so I would say this is the least intended use for GSO.
GeoCorp: The battleship you have already, 'nuff said.
Venture: A heavily armed tank, ideally using the Titan Truck wheels (love those things), or lots of tracks. This would give you an excuse to use Sonic Lances. Also, Venture bubbles are tiny, so it'll be covered in them, which will look ridiculous.
Hawkeye: A racing tech (with a ton of boosters), or a vehicle for covering long distances, not combat. Would ideally be a grounded craft - just needs to be really fast.
Better Future: A harvester. Constant laser weapons would probably work well for this (They also have plasma cutters), and it would need to use the Swipe Collector - the only one Better Future has. Good luck with that one. This would be grounded as well, since Better Future has way more options for flyers.
Reticule Research: Either a plane, or an anti-gravity tech. I know RR doesn't have flight items, so it would be built completely out of RR stuff and have an anti-grav engine and/or propulsion from other corporations stuck on it, then painted in RR colours if possible. These could also be hidden so it looks like it's all Reticule Research. It would be cool to see the RR weapons working from the sky. Failing that, literally anything that isn't a trailer or turret (like the ones from the missions) would work.
Some of these will probably require one or two blocks from other corporations, like conveyors, but they could mostly be done out of only the intended one. Hope you trying making a couple of them.
Your the reason I bought terra tech and love the game its always fun watching your videos
For GSO, you could treat it as the opposite to Better Future. Make a weird hovering laser craft out of GSO stuff and then make a hulking mess of guns out of Better Future.
Weird idea, fun but weird. Put the lasers on the side so you have to spin in order to attack properly and if you have a bunch of shields it’ll spread the damage out
The idea of opposite purpose sounds fantastic. The opposite of Hawkeye should be a vehicle that is INCREDIBLY underpowered and destroyable.
the step really reminds me of a Tiger 1 tank, so in my mind you effectively built a Tiger 1 with lasers
FINALLY ive been looking for a good video to eat dinner to
I like the build ideas and here are some thoughts
better future: use the steampunk skin to make it seem less... Environmentally friendly
Hawkeye: a mining tech
Geocorp: a fighting tech
Venture: a tank
Gso: a no purpose build
Not sure about reticule research though
Lathrix : Greetings you human-shaped techs created by someone with a serious sense of humor...
Me : Nice one !
When I think of GSO I think of lasers, mortars, and pound cannons, all on tiny, poorly defended, hodgepodge techs with lots of thimble collectors pointing every which way. Also: Spud
The way the last Better Future Tech Exploded was Epic!
Probably the best intro human shaped techs :P
Good to hear things are better lathrix
