Icarus News

Week 193 is here, and this week we’re adding new backpack-specific functionality to the Armor stands, to make using the ‘hot-swap’ feature more simple.

• Added Great Hunts boss respawn time to C0NT4CT device's 'Bosses' tab
  
• Fixed Heavy Flamethrower unintentionally consuming large amounts of biofuel for Alt attacks
  
• Added interaction prompt to collect all dead player inventories inside of empty boss arenas
  
• Improve overall visual quality on Low/Medium Anti-Aliasing settings
  

[hr][/hr]

The addition of Armor Stands in Week 180 was well received, but a few unexpected issues cropped up that we wanted to address this week.

Backpacks were being included by default in the ‘Hot-swap’ functionality, which meant that excess items were being dropped on the ground if there was a difference in inventory capacity and slots. Not only was this messy, but it also meant you’d have to spend time re-organising your inventory system, something that defeats the whole purpose of ‘hot-swapping’ gear for efficiency.

To address this, we’ve added a new toggle option titled ‘Swap Backpacks’ which you can set to either include or exclude backpacks as part of the hot-swap functionality. This toggle can be found in the inventory UI screen for the Armor stand, just below the ‘Swap’ button.

This will be set to ‘disabled’ by default, and the setting is per armor stand, not per player. This means you’ll need to set it up the way you want for each armor stand, and check your teammates haven’t changed it also.

Next week, we’re adding a new Carbon Fiber signs set, for something a little more modern to decorate and signpost your base.

Welcome to week 192.

This week, we are adding a new higher-tier saddle specifically for use in the Arctic regions, as well as a few smaller fixes to achievements and great hunt content.

We also give a preview of a requested feature that we have added, thanks to feature upvote.

Jump in and have a read.

• Fixed Biomore backpack as it was granting aura to bosses & enemies (not just friendly)
  
• Lowered survival Stats on Carbonweave backpack (they were very unbalanced)
  
• Various Achievement Fixes (Cha-Ching!, Easy Tiger, Ring Leader, Damage Resisted By Shield, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Not Lost, Still not Lost, What is this Place, Colossus Collapse, Starstruck)
  
• Fixed issue with Mission Paths, which were correctly locked out in Great Hunts - allowing all missions to be done and causing issues with the GH mission flow
  
• Preventing Food / Water / Oxygen consumption from being completely mitigated, the value will always be at least 1
  
• Giving the Lava Hunter a Large Fall Damage Resistance
  
• Add missing ColdSteel Spear to valid ammo types for Javelin Launcher
  

[hr][/hr]

This week, we have added a new saddle to the Animal Bench. It represents a higher-tier of saddle that is designed specifically for arctic travel.

The ‘Arctic Survival Saddle’ has five base inventory slots, two additional utility item slots and extra cold resistance, making it ideal for quick-moving mounts such as the Moa. This saddle aims to add higher-tier equipment for mounts that help them both in terms of their survival and utility in late-game scenarios. The Arctic Survival saddle requires platinum weave, wool and rope to craft, meaning you must bring down a sheep from orbit to gain access to wool.


[hr][/hr]

Next week, we have a QoL with the armor stand coming, and we're adding a customisation option to prevent backpacks from being swapped when swapping gear on the armor stand.

Week 191 brings the new Electric Fireplace, a Tier 4 alternative to the existing Biofuel and Standard options.

With more slots, faster cooking and better comfort boosts, it’s the ideal piece for the almost-perfect base.


[hr][/hr]

This week we’re adding the Electric Fireplace - a Tier 4 upgrade on the Biofuel and Standard Fireplaces already in-game.

The Electric Fireplace has a substantial slot count with 48, double the Biofuels 24 and four times that of the Standard Fireplaces 12.

It also cooks meals 10% faster than the Biofuel Fireplace—17 seconds for a T-bone Steak compared to 19 and 23 seconds for the Biofuel and Standard Fireplaces, respectively.

It also provides our highest comfort level yet, 16. This is again more than the Biofuel Fireplaces' 12, and Standard Fireplaces' 8.


[hr][/hr]

Next week we’ll be adding some new Arctic Saddles to the game, perfect for those freezing treks across the arctic biomes with your trusty mounts.

Week 190 brings our customary ‘week one patch’ after a major expansion.

The reception to Great Hunts has been awesome, so we’re happy to bring you an array of tweaks and improvements and catch a few bugs that slipped through the cracks.

We also have some details on the two hotfixes that went out last weekend if you missed them.

Finally, we’ve got details on next week's update, as we keep moving towards the week-200 milestone.


[hr][/hr]

As is tradition, the week after a major expansion or update is reserved for a ‘week one’ patch, where we address any bugs, imbalances or issues that may have slipped through the cracks when releasing it.

Here are some of the key fixes and balances you can find in this week's update:

• Added Incendiary Sniper Ammo for the Anti-Materiel Rifle available from the Orbital Workshop
  
• Fixed buildings and deployables placed in instanced levels that were not being registered to the correct biome in the weather controller
  
• Fixed a bug with Outpost Veteran and Outpost Builder achievements, where they could be granted incorrectly on Open World prospects
  
• Fixed NPC dialogue not playing at the end of Ape B due to the ‘Bool default value’ being set to 'Played'
  
• Fixed Blackwolf armor set not allowing alterations
  
• Fixed the legendary bow with the 'fortified grip' attachment, not using stamina on secondary click hold
  
• Fixed Frostbreaker not using stamina when blocking
  
• Fixed the Gauntlet image on the Great Hunts selection buttons, which were incorrectly displaying
  
• Removed Great Hunts Module Item Tags as they were incorrectly marked as meta items
  
• Recommitted the ‘connecting overlay’ as it was not saved correctly
  
• Removed the ‘glow effect’ from SMPL3 Mission Cards
  
• Added UI fixes for prospect outcomes, so that at various scaling and zoom levels, the outcome text does not overlap
  
• Swapped the T3 Cleaner, dropped the mesh to use the machining bench kit
  
• Hooked up an optional water connection processing speed to the Biofuel Cleaner
  
• We now allow broken weapons to open the radial ammo menu so that loaded ammo can be unloaded without having to first repair
  
• Ape_A: Fixed ‘base cleanup’ to not clean up half the base immediately and the water after a delay, added cleaning up of the NPCs
  
• Small pouches are now crafted with the raw materials and paints rather than using the base pouch with paints - this is to avoid players using their pouches with items in crafting recipes, which results in loss of items
  
• Fixed issue on Great Hunt arena entrances where clients wouldn't see the 'returns in xx seconds' interact prompt
  
• Rimetusk Arena - Removed collision on many of the lower-hanging waterfall icicles to address the boss creature running into them and not being able to reach his location to regenerate armor
  
• Fixed the issue where the legendary weapon stat comparison widget would break in Bio-Lab after upgrading a slot
  
• Removed the Galileo Feature Level Lock on achievements - which may have been preventing unlocking achievements in Steam for anything introduced in Copernicus
  
• Fixed an issue where explosive rounds weren't getting cleaned up properly, potentially causing performance issues over a play session
  
• Added new ammo type in the workshop for the Anti-materiel Rifle - Incendiary rounds. These rounds also scale the damage of the fire damage which is applied to targets.
  
• Dead mounts with items in their inventory now persist between game reloads
  
• Loot Retrieval now works at a distance of 15m instead of 4m & Loot Retrieval no longer places loot bags halfway into the ground if player is crouching while they use it
  

This is just a small selection of the adjustments see the full list in the patch notes below.

Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback and experiences on our Discord and Feature Upvote.

Some things are too important to wait for a weekly update, so we sometimes publish hotfixes.

Two hotfixes were pushed over the weekend, 125 on Friday NZT and 148 on Sunday NZT. A few of the details are below:

[h3]125 - Rimetusk Campaign Mission: ‘Field Work’ Blocker:[/h3]

• Fixed an issue in the Rimetusk Campaign: 'Field Work' - where the mission could not be completed due to the objective asking for an item that no longer exists in Icarus to be crafted and placed
  

[h3]148 - Garganutan Boss & Achievement Fixes:[/h3]

• Fixed issue where the Garganutan Boss would not take the appropriate amount of physical damage after players had completed the mission BLOOD THIRST, making the fight require fire/explosive damage instead of just regular ammo and melee. This has now been corrected
  
• Fixed an issue preventing the client from properly communicating with Steam to check off achievements. Any existing achievements that players have gained will sync up and be granted on Steam on login
  

[hr][/hr]

Next week, we’ll be adding the new ‘Electric Fireplace', a Tier 4 option similar to the Biofuel Fireplace but connected to your power grid, rather than requiring a manual fuel source.
