How to play TerraTech split screen on PC
Get Nucleus Co-op
Download Nucleus Co-op, free for Windows 10 and 11, and unzip it into its own folder, for example C:\NucleusCo-op. There is no installer.
Keep it out of Program Files, your user folder and OneDrive.
Install the TerraTech handler
In Nucleus Co-op, search the Hub for TerraTech and install its handler, or download the handler file from this page and drop it on the Nucleus window. Then show Nucleus where TerraTech is installed.
Take a seat
Each player presses a button on their own controller to join and takes a spot on the screen. Pick a layout that fits your players.
Playing with several keyboards and mice? Press End once everything is in place to give each window its own cursor.
Launch and connect
Press Launch: Nucleus opens one copy of TerraTech per player and lays the windows out on your screen. Then link them in game, usually one player hosts a LAN or online session and the others join it. The handler notes say how.

- A PC that can run 4 copies
Each player runs their own copy of TerraTech, so the PC carries several times the usual load. Lower the graphics settings if it struggles. Performance tips
- A multiplayer mode
Nucleus links the windows through the game's own LAN or online mode; the handler takes care of it.
Handler notes
Read the handler notes in the UI carefully. If you can not connect the instances in latest version of the game try downgrading to version 1.3.3 by right clicking the game in Steam, properties, then select it in the betas participation tab. Version 1.6.2 also works.
Thanks to The Shnazberry for testing.
