TerraX Major Gathering Update — Fishing, Cooking, and Crafting Go Next-Level in the Ultimate Play-to-Earn Experience
‍

Wood is no longer just a background resource — it's a pillar of progression in TerraX. For a long time, mining has been the heart of the TerraX economy. It was our foundation — the way players earned, progressed, and crafted. But as the game evolved, we realized something important: a thriving in-game economy needs more than just ores.

This update marks the first step in that broader vision.

With the introduction of Wood Harvesting, we’ve expanded the gathering experience beyond mining — giving players a new resource type, a new toolset, and an entirely new role to play in the TerraX world. You’ll use specialized Hatchet Tools to collect raw logs, which can now be processed into Planks — a material essential to crafting the most powerful weapons and gear in the game.

But at its core, this system isn’t just about crafting recipes. It’s about diversifying the economy and laying the groundwork for where TerraX is headed. We imagine a future where TerraX is not just a game, but a living world — one that blends idle gameplay with real ownership, exploration, and strategic decision-making. Think Catan meets 4X strategy — a world made up of land plots, owned by players, generating passive resources based on how you develop and invest in them. This update is one of the earliest bridges to that world.

By expanding gathering beyond ores, we’re preparing the foundation for resource specialization — where different players contribute different materials to the economy, and trade, crafting, and community become central to how the game works. Whether you're a miner, a forester, a fisher, or eventually a land baron managing automated harvesting systems — you’ll have a role to play in the world we're building. Wood harvesting is our first real test of what it looks like to extend the gameplay beyond tapping rocks.

It's about building a sustainable, multi-layered economy — and giving players more meaningful ways to shape the TerraX universe, both now and in the chapters ahead.

From Logs to Planks

With this update, raw wood can be processed through the Plank Crafting System, introducing a new crafting tier into the ecosystem.

  • Planks are now required components for many advanced crafting recipes, including high-tier pickaxes and weapons.
  • Gather intelligently, process efficiently, and trade strategically.

This creates an entire wood economy — where every chop counts, and every plank has value.

Fishing: A Deeper System, A Bigger Catch

With this update, fishing in TerraX becomes more than a side activity — it’s an evolving system of gear, strategy, and reward that introduces a whole new way to play and progress.

We didn’t want fishing to feel passive or disconnected from the rest of the game. So instead of a simple tap-and-wait mechanic, we built something more dynamic — a system where your choices matter and your setup defines your success.

Rods, Lures & Bait — The New Core Loop

Players can now equip specialized Fishing Rods, each offering unique strengths and progression potential. Paired with Lures and Bait, your setup can drastically affect what you catch, how fast you catch it, and what rewards you earn.

  • Rods improve your ability to reach deeper, rarer fish pools.
  • Lures optimize your fishing rhythm, increasing your chances of hooking valuable fish.
  • Bait determines quality — the higher the tier, the better (and meatier) the fish you can reel in.

And here's the twist: bait isn’t bought — it's earned. Players can find rare bait drops while harvesting trees, tying the fishing system back into the broader gathering economy. What starts as woodcutting may end as your next big catch.

‍

No More Waiting

We’ve also streamlined the cooldown mechanics. Low-tier bait still includes a short wait, but high-tier bait offers an instant catch — letting skilled and strategic players move faster, earn faster, and stay in the flow of the game.

‍

Leaderboards, Loot Boxes & Beyond

The new Fishing Leaderboard is live, offering weekly competition and rewards for top anglers. Whether you’re chasing rare fish for crafting, or aiming for those juicy Fishing Loot Boxes, your efforts now count in more ways than one.

Fishing is now part of a much larger vision — a specialized, multi-resource economy where each role has value, and each system feeds into another. Whether you’re chopping trees for bait, crafting meals with your catch, or competing for the top leaderboard spot, fishing now stands as one of the core pillars of progression in TerraX.

‍

Cooking System: Buffs, Potions & Strategy

The all-new Cooking System transforms how you prepare for battle and boosts your gathering efficiency.

Using freshly gathered ingredients (fish, carots, herbs, meat), you can now:

  • Cook healing food to restore HP.
  • Craft buff items that increase gathering yields or combat stats.
  • Brew potions to sustain longer resource runs.

Every ingredient matters. The more you gather, the more powerful your recipes. It's an ecosystem designed for play-to-own enthusiasts who want strategic depth in their grind.

‍

New Ores & Advanced Crafting Recipes

We’ve added top-tier ores that bring late-game crafting to life. Combine them with wood planks and cooking buffs to build some of the strongest gear in the game.

  • Updated weapon and pickaxe recipes.
  • New item economy that rewards multi-discipline players.
  • All systems tied to gathering → crafting → battling → earning.

The path to the top is now deeper, richer, and more rewarding than ever.

‍

UI & Immersion Upgrades

This isn’t just about new content — we’ve also polished the experience:

  • Explore UI Overhaul: Sleek new navigation interface.
  • Inventory Filtering: Find what you need, fast.
  • Onboarding Character Screen: New welcome experience for first-time players.
  • Username & Profile System: Personalize your TerraX identity.
  • Global Music & Sound: Dive into a fully immersive world.

Plus, the updated Roadmap Screen gives a peek at what's coming next — including land ownership, and other mechanics.
