The Terasology project was born from a Minecraft-inspired tech demo and is becoming a stable platform for various types of gameplay settings in a voxel world.
Terasology was built to be a modular and extensible game.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- A deeper tech tree to climb, achievable mostly solo but heavily aided by minions or other players.
- Crafting more focused on realistic workshops improving quality and quantity based on upgrades, specific minions, etc.
- A more vivid world that’s alive and changes over time, even without direct manipulation by the player.
- Autonomous NPC societies that grow on their own and can both be source of minions as well as valuable trading partners. Or be your greatest enemy…
- Various kinds of blueprinting to allow the reproduction of specific objects, tradeable with other players. Also similar systems to designate areas as special in some fashion, like enclosing workshop areas or defining defenses.
- Portals to center societies around and allow easy travel (but not transfer of goods) between settled areas.
- Meaningful (and meaningless!) statistics about your world.
- Realistic simulations of world elements like liquid flow, structural support, natural growth, and the dangers of delving deep.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
