So far the developers have not yet commented on this, but depending on the changes i wouldn't count on it!

The developers of Techtonica have released a Roadmap for this which will be updated from time to time. You can the roadmap here: Roadmap

Congratulations!
You have finished the first phase od the Early Access-Version of Techtonica.
Feel free to start open gaming untill FHG will release the next Update with new content - there is always something to do:

• Research the rest of the Techtree
• Open all Doors and find all HDD's
• Study the entrys in the journal
• Rebuild your factory, there is always space for improvements
• Try Infused Ores
• Try some (or all) of the Techtonica-Challanges here in the Challange-Section on the Calculator [under development]
• Get all Steam-Achievements

Microsoft dosn't allow changing achievements once placed into the game. So if the achievements would be included now, there is no way to add more of them.
Beacuse of this, FHG decided to add achievements on Xbox only with the full release.

Yes, there is a great Manual how you can do this created from Whyzerman:

• Open up file explorer and in the address bar type %localappdata%
• From here, open the folder called "Packages"
• Next find the folder named "FireHoseGames.Techtonica_enaqpbkck6w5t"Inside this folder, open the folder named "SystemAppData"
• Inside the SystemAppData folder open the folder named "wgs"
• There should be 2 folders in this folder, one with a string of letters and numbers, and one named "t". Open the folder with the string of letters and numbers.
• Inside this folder you should see 1 file named "containers.index" and another folder (or folders) with a random string of letters and numbers. If you have multiple saves, each save is under a different folder using a different string of letters and numbers. Sort by date modified to find the latest save file.Inside each of your save file folders, you will find 3 files. The largest file is your save file, the other 2 files are index files.
• If you plan on moving the save to Steam, copy the save file to another folder and rename it to something you will be able to identify it by. I renamed mine "myxboxsave.dat"
• The following assumes you have completed steps 1-9, if not complete those first.
• If you have not played the Steam version of the game, install and then launch the game -if you have, see 11a. Play through until you dig yourself out of the Cryochamber, than save the game. This establishes a world file where your save will be separated from your other saves.
• WARNING: If you have already played and have other saves on Steam, to ensure you do not overwrite your other saved games, start a new game, then play through until you dig yourself out of the Cryochamber, than save the game. This establishes a world file where your save will be separated from your other saves.
• Close and exit the game.
• In file explorer, and LocalLow folder. If you type %appdata% in your address bar, then go up one directory you should see 3 folders: Local, LocalLow, and Roaming. Open the LocalLow folder.
• Inside the LocalLow folder should be a folder named Fire Hose Games, open this folder, then the Techtonica folder within it.
• Inside the Techtonica folder, you should see at least one folder consisting of numbers, they may be preceeded by a dash (-).
• Sort by date modified, and open the latest modified folder.
• Inside this folder you will find your new save file(s). One will be named autosave0.dat, the others will be named save_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS.dat
• Copy your xbox save file into this folder, and open the save file with notepad.
• The header of the file is a JSON header, that tells the game some basic information about the save file. One of these is "worldName". This can be found at the end of the header. Mine says "worldName":"398738383" Change the value of the world name (the numbers in quotes following worldName) to the name of your world save. This will be the same as the file folder name these files are in. Mine is -111214803, so I changed mine to the following: "worldName":"-111214803"
• Save and close the file, then launch Techtonica on steam.
• Click Load game, then scroll down to find the save file you just created. Double click it to start your game.

ANEXCAL is an acronym for "Assembled Nations for EXpedition to CALyx"

You have to get the M.O.L.E to get through the barrier north of Terminal Lima.
To get the M.O.L.E you have to complete Terminal Lima requirements I, II and III.
After that you have to use the Radio-Signal right beside the Terminal-Console.
Follow the signal, collect the Sparks-Cube and scan the M.O.L.E.-Fragment on your way back to Terminal Lima.
After that you have to unlock the M.O.L.E in the Techtree and build one.

If possible, simply user your Pickaxe or M.O.L.E.
If this isn't possible, you can go to the Menue (Esc) and use the "Respawn"-Button.

All Techtree-Entrys requireing Blue Research Cores also requireing a level of Energy-Charge.
You can find the required ammount in the description of the Techree-Entry.
Also in the lower right corener of the Techtree your actual avaiable Energy-Charge is visible.
If you have not enough carge, try building more accumulators.

Yes, after you have unlocked "Core Reassignment" in the Science-Techtree Tier IV you can reassign the cores by long pressing the Left Mouse Button.

Some Areas in the Game (all Kinds of Water, existing Facilities, Terminals, borders of the world) are marked as "Protected".
This means they can't be destroyed to ensure the stability of the game.

So you can increase the Inventory Space unlocking "PackSize I-V" in the Logistics-Section of the Techree or simply craft a Chest and dump all your unecessary items in it.
Additional to this you have the possibility to use your materials to craft mashines and then thresh this machines to get rid of some materials.

No, that isn't possible, only the Players Inventory is increaseable unlocking "PackSize I-V" in the Logistics-Section of the Techree.

To achive this simply place a single Limestone (ore any other item) in the spaces you want to block.
Please be aware of sorting that Chest after this action cause it will collect all single Limestones and build one single Stack of them.

One Waterwheel can only support two Crank Generators. Adding additional Crank Generators is only usefull if you also add additional Waterwheels.
One Crank generator MKII needs two Waterwheels to work propperly.
There is no limit in connecting Waterwheels and Crank Generators in a line.

"Mass Collect" is for collecting items from Belts, Inserters, Machines and Containers. You can't use "Mass Collect" for gathering plants.

After unlocking "Mass Collect" in the Tech-Tree you are able to hold "E" to create a area in which every item will be collected. This does only work with items, not with harvestable plants. Increasing the level will increase the size of the selectable area.
After unlocking "Mass Erase" in the Tech-Tree you are able to hold "F" to create a area in which every constructed element will be deleted. Increasing the level will increase the size of the selectable area.

You need to unlock the "Planter" AND the "Thresher" in Tech-Tree to place seeds into a planter.

You can rotate through the Toolbelts by using "Left Ctrl + Mouswheel" for the lower one, and "Left Shift + Mousewheel" for the upper one.
Also direct selection with "Left Shift + #" and "Left Ctrl + #" is possible. Replace # with a number (e.g. 1 or 2)

You can only feed finished cores into a "Core Composer". So you have first to craft the cores in an Assembler or by hand, and then feed them in with some inserters and belts.

You have to double-thres Kindlevine for this: First thresh "Kindlevine" to get "Kindlevine Stems", then thresh these "Kindlevine Stems" to get "Plantmatter Fiber"
Adiitional have a look at this site for Details about Plantmatter Fiber or at this site for the production-calculation

At the moment, this is not possible. The Developers are working on a solution to hide/deconstruct/DoSomethingDiffernt with this empty chests.

Simply do a double-jump, so pressing fast two times the spacebar will put you in the air.
Pressing the Spacebar again is deactivating the HoverPack.
HoverPack in Techtonica dosn't consume fuel or has a duration on usage!

Please go to the Menue, select "Video" and reset the "FOV"- and "First Person FOV"-Slider to the default value (67)

For X-Box-Users: you can use this workaround, presented from our Community Member Rami (Thx!):

Soo If anyone have any issue with Xbox FOV try setting Xbox Language and Location to English and US that will restart the console No worrie start the Game again and then start a Play Session now Go to Video settings resett that by pressing Y now all should be fine your Welcome to set your language as wanted.

Please go to the Menue, select "Video" and modify the "Gamma"-Slider (default: 1,5).

Please check the settings in the Menue ("Aufio" or "Video"). Most of these problems can be solved by moving the solders showing "1000%" so they are in a normal value (max 100%).
If this dosn't help you can try this Workaround from one of the FHG-Developers:

OK, I believe I have a workaround for people who are experiencing broken settings (ex: audio very loud, no audio at all, gamma set to zero, screen entirely black when playing, etc.) whose PCs are set to non-English languages or regions in Windows.
I know this is a cumbersome workaround, and we are also working on a better fix, but in the meantime this should allow folks to get up and running.

This example assumes you are in Germany, with regional format set to German (Germany) in Windows, but the same process should apply for other region/language settings:

- Make sure that you have fully quit Steam. Don't just close the window.
- Windows Settings > Change your Country or Region > Set Regional format to English for your region. (You do not need to change the region. For an example, setting Regional Format to "English (Germany)" instead of "German (Germany)."
- Start Techtonica. Open Settings from Main Menu. (You will see that your settings may still be incorrect). Select Restore Defaults and press Confirm.
- The game should reload with correct settings, in English.
- Start a game, and save, then quit.
- Fully quit Steam.
- Now you can restore your previous settings in Change your Country or Region, then restart Steam and Techtonica. Settings should be correct, but game is in English.
- In Techtonica, from the Main Menu, go to: Settings > Gameplay > Language, and set the language to your desired language. Confirm. You can now play the game with correct settings, in the correct language.
DO NOT CLICK RESTORE TO DEFAULTS ONCE YOU HAVE DONE THIS PROCESS.

You dan do both on the official Techtonica Discord-Server found here,
As well as on the official feedback-page which can be found here.

Both roles are no longer avaiable.
"Alpha Groundbreaker" was achived from the users who played the Alpha-Version.
