Terratech Wiki needs actual information

[Manu]

Being the official wiki I expected to find some actual data, but no gun has the actual damage. Wheels have not base speed, weight and grip values. Shields and repair bubbles mention no energy consumption, damage reduction, type of damage it deflects, amount of HP repaired per second. Blocks have no weight nor HP.

Is there any way to get this information?

Kinda sounds like you're volunteering to help update the wiki.... ;-)

There's a few different forum threads where users have shared the block (and other) data they've extracted or found experimentally. Like here: https://forum.terratechgame.com/index.php?threads/blocks-stats-1-0-1.17584/

And crafting info on all blocks, etc: https://forum.terratechgame.com/index.php?threads/google-spreadsheet-for-manufacturers-scrappers.16499/#post-123418

I am, if I had the data I would. If you check https://terratech.gamepedia.com/Block#GSO_Grade_1 you will see some wheels have "base speed". That was me :D.

Seriously, this: "Larger wheels with a bit more umpf!" is no description at all

This is because the devs
A: have not released that info, so we gotta guess and,
B: it keeps changing week to week, so updating it is a waste of time.

By the time they get around to doing the ingame blockpedia, we can just cut/pate that in.
So 'Umpf' is all that it is feasible to do.

Oh, excellent!

There's a thread about overhauling the wiki on the main forum, here (been dormant for a while): https://forum.terratechgame.com/index.php?threads/wiki-overhaul-ii-help-is-needed.4481/page-9

But you should have more success if you pop onto the Discord server, say "hello" and ask if you can talk to someone about helping with the Wiki. @Aster-, Streak1 and Exund have been active here and there, on the wiki, fairly recently, I think. Certainly in the (private) Wikizone channel. Pop in anyway: http://discord.gg/terratechgame


The devs have talked about implementing an in-game wiki for some time, so that might help if/when it materialises. But I'd guess it won't have everything, anyway.

If only the devs gave us the numbers, we, volunteers would update it. I see the wiki and as Neo sees the matrix, I see the would be wiki. I work at analysing and documenting processes, I can't help it, it's what I do

Not at all. True, some of the block values have changed a little over the last year, some of that undocumented. But even if some wiki block data isn't bang up to date it will still give users a good idea of, for example, GSO batteries weighing 3 times more than GSO One-blocks.

So, if you'd actually like to do it, a full set of block data for 1.0.1 is here, as I linked above: https://forum.terratechgame.com/index.php?threads/blocks-stats-1-0-1.17584/

Have at it!
