Community Spotlight - KN
Welcome back to Community Spotlight - our monthly series where we take a look at a specific creator on the Steam Workshop. This month's installment we're putting the spotlight on user KN!

With a range of awesome Techs and fancy Circuits & Systems Builds, KN's Workshop has got a lot of toys to play with.

RC Car Minigame


Controlling a remote-controlled car using a joystick, you've got to navigate around obstacles, defeat enemies and destroy three conduits.

Autodriving Traincar


Using very clever Circuits & Systems setups connect multiple cars together to create a whole train!

Autoship


Another clever use of Circuits & Systems allows you to set the altitude of this awesome craft.

Q&A with KN


We asked KN about their process for building Techs, what their inspiration is and what they've got planned next. Here is what they had to say:

Q: What's your approach to building Techs in TerraTech? What's your inspiration?
A: My approach to building techs in TerraTech is to have function with form, a large tech that looks cool, and can do stuff is always the end goal.

Q: What's your advice for players starting out on their first major build?
A: The best piece of advice I could give is to plan out large techs to avoid running into build limit, a tech that uses 3 long sticks of blocks to measure build limit height, width and length can prove to be very useful.
However, don't feel the need to always build big, a small or medium sized tech can be just as interesting, and functional as a large tech.
Also don't feel like you need to meet the expectations of veteran builders, improve your techs at your own pace and have fun with it.

Q: Have you got any exciting builds planned for the future?
A: I plan on finishing my first modded tech, which uses the control blocks, I've seen a couple mechs up on the workshop and I'd like to try my hand at that. the current progress is about 50% done.
A modular mobile base which uses the new fastener blocks to disassemble into a base, then re-assemble into an airship for transport to a new location, similar to the modular cargo ship i've built before.
A new flagship for my fleet of spaceships, my current flagship is getting a bit old.
