• Adjusted the quest information text (blue text) which was trying to lookup and get keybinds on dedicated servers (where keybinds don't exist). This was causing as crash when the dedicated server attempted to process the information.
  

Welcome to Week 148.

This week is the penultimate update before the release of the Null Sector, so we’ve focused on a bunch of QoL improvements and bug fixes in advance of this releasing. These include some recommendations from our community through Feature Upvote.

We’ve also got a bit more insight into what to expect with next week’s Null Sector release, and some details on how you can jump in and test it now on a temporary branch, if you want to help us find any outstanding issues.

Jump in and have a read.


[hr][/hr]

This week, we’ve focused on a range of QoL improvements and bug fixes as a lead-in to our planned release of Null Sector next week. We generally don’t release a major feature/content in subsequent weeks, and with the size of Null Sector, we wanted to dedicate more time to testing and refining it.

As is the case with most of our QoL updates, many of them have come from community submissions on our Feature Upvote, the most effective way for you, the players, to highlight to us what you would like to see included in the game.

• We’ve added flat variants of the wooden crates craftable at tier 1 for easier stacking. These are variants of the existing slanted-style crates, which you can select using 'R' when placing them
  
• All the Modules purchasable from the workshop now have their own unique icons, rather than varying colors of the stock icon they’ve had since release
  
• We have also fixed a few bugs and done a balance pass on the mission RELOCATED: Recovery - The Zebra Recovery Mission on Styx. The Zebra now have more health, and we have fixed some cases where the mission could get into a locked state, unable to be completed
  
• We have fixed an issue introduced recently with a big resource network refactor that meant you could no longer disconnect workstations from networks by R-clicking them with Water/Electricity tools
  

[hr][/hr]

With the Null Sector planned for release in one week, we will be releasing a temporary branch on Steam later today for players to test. This branch will be updated frequently as we commit fixes and changes. So their maybe downloads every day, and some prospects may be put in a bad state.

Please report any bugs in the experimental channel. Keep in mind that there may still be issues and bugs that we are fixing and that this will not be as stable as the core game branch you’re used to playing on.

[expand]
[h3]How to switch branches on Steam:[/h3]

1. Right clicking on Icarus in Steam
   
2. Selecting Properties, this will open a window
   
3. Select Beta's
   
4. Use the drop down box to select the branch you want - in this case it is nullsector
   

If the branch does not appear you may need to restart steam.

[hr][/hr]

As stated in the past, we are trying something different with the Null Sector, specifically regarding the environment and resource scarcity.

There is no map for guidance, the biomes have unique effects on prospectors, and there are very few natural resources, with some of the new missions focusing on logistics. We have also aimed to provide some more narrative than we have before with more set dressing, more interesting prebuilt structures, and the inclusion of some interactable NPCs.

Due to the new systems and complexities included, the Null Sector has taken some time to release. We wanted to spend a decent chunk of time testing it internally, not only for bugs but also for the feeling of the game within the new area and during the missions.

It is a very difficult region, and we have taken this opportunity to experiment with new features and approaches to all aspects of the game experience. If the systems work well, we'll consider using them as a template or baseline for future narrative content and expansions.

[h3]Fixed[/h3]
[expand]

• Removed terminal interaction step that was auto-completing from RELOCATED: Recovery.
  
• Fixed bug in RELOCATED: Recovery where Zebras weren't getting their 'Quest Creature' flag removed correctly upon quest completion.
  
• Fixed bug in RELOCATED: Recovery where the mission could become blocked if Zebras were cleaned up for whatever reason without dying.

• Fixed BP IsValid error inside BPQ_Travel
  
• Fix exotic respiratory debuff mentioning increase food usage rather than increase oxygen usage
  
• Fix another intermittent terrain anchor crash reported in Sentry

• Set MaxViewDistance for all PrimitiveComponents in DeployableBase to 1km to match client Icarus.Deployable replication distance. This should give a performance improvement for servers by no longer rendering Deployables beyond 1km

Welcome to Week 147.

This week comes with a massive quality-of-life addition: an in-game wiki of items craftable in Icarus as a new section of the Field Guide. This includes where to find them, how to craft them, what to use them for, and what they’re connected to.

We also introduce some new exclusive bobbleheads for owners of Stationeers as a thank-you for supporting the studio.

Plus, we have a small update on where Null Sector is up to and what’s coming next week.

Jump in and have a read.

• Prospects without local save files are no longer shown on the 'Load' screen. This should fix the issue where players would incorrectly see past multiplayer games in this list without having access to the save file
  
• Mounts are now bound to the account that claimed them instead of the specific character. This should fix the issue where players bringing down mounts that were claimed by a different character on the same account weren't able to properly access it
  
• Modifier state icons are now ordered in list: Biome -> Aura -> Permanent Buff/Debuff -> Temporary Buff/Debuff
  
• Further adjustments to player lighting, with a focus on light strength/progression. Wood Rag Torch, Wood Flare, Biofuel Lantern, and Flashlight affected
  
• Added CPU access to beds' gfur that didn't already have it along with the gfur for the black wolf trophies. This is to fix crashing when placing down a black wolf trophy and may reenable the fur on the beds
  
• Added Cargo Hauling talent option to Horse and Terrenus talent trees
  
• Buffalo (and other mounts) have their roll and twist rotation zeroed on reload, this should be a reliable bandaid fix for issues where mounts would become permanently rotated / on an angle
  
• Fixing the charging device as it was no longer charging powered objects after the new data table enum switch
  
• Chickens will now automatically deposit their eggs into a nearby coop (within 10 meters) if they're unable to path inside for whatever reason
  

[hr][/hr]

The Field Guide has been upgraded to include a new ‘Items’ section. This new feature acts as an encyclopedia for all in-game items, showing where they’re craftable, what materials they need, what they’re used for, what other recipes require them, what stats they have, and what sets they belong to. Each item is also linked to all related items so you can navigate quickly when researching your next recipe to craft.

'J' is the default key for bringing up the Field Guide in-game.

We’ve also linked this inside each item’s context menu so you can open the Field Guide directly as you play.

This is a substantial QoL upgrade designed so that any future items added will appear with all their relevant connections and information from the day they’re introduced. Ultimately, this should replace the need to google this information and leave the game to find it.

Let us know your feedback on this new addition in Feature Upvote. We’ll continue to improve it as time goes on.


[hr][/hr]

As mentioned in previous weeks, the NullSector (our Free Prometheus Expansion) will include new Operations, a new exploration mechanic, new mutated creatures, and one new giant creature.

We are still actively working on the NullSector, with some big mission revamps in the works, more narrative, more dialogue, and more missions to provide the experience it deserves.

This region is not for the faint of heart. All the adjustments and differences are geared towards this being a hardcore survival challenge, so make sure you enter it prepared.

If you are interested in reading about what we plan to do with missions in the future, click here.


[hr][/hr]

We have released Stationeers-themed bobbleheads that are unlockable and craftable from the blueprint tree for owners of both games.

Stationeers is another RocketWerkz title that heavily influenced aspects of Icarus in its early development and still does to this day. If you enjoy the hardcore parts of Icarus, you will have fun struggling to survive in Stationeers.

Stationeers is a space station building and management game that focuses on engineering, resource management, and survival. Players construct and maintain their own space stations, managing various systems like oxygen, power, and temperature. The game emphasizes realism, requiring players to understand and manipulate complex systems to keep their station operational.

You build and expand structures to house your life-supporting systems, while exploring planets to gather more resource for your station. It’s full of intricate mechanics that requires careful planning and problem-solving, making it addictive for fans of simulation and engineering games.

If this sounds like your type of game, check it out here:

[hr][/hr]

Next week, we’ll be focusing on further testing of NullSector zones and are planning to open up the experimental branch early for players to give us feedback while we iron out any bugs.

As for the update, we plan to release a few small QoL fixes next week while this is happening.

• Optimized expensive (4k+) textures to reduce video memory consumption
  
• Fixing the charging device as it was no longer charging powered objects after the new datatable enum switch

Welcome to Week 146.

We’ve converted another 15 Missions over to Operations on Olympus, giving you a ton more content to experience in your permanent prospects.

We’ve also addressed some bugs that cropped up last week, including Desert Saddles on Moa and Cart Attachment repairs.

Next week’s update is a big one, so have a look at the bottom at what to expect and how it’ll help you navigate the thousands of in-game craftable items.

Jump in and have a read.

• Fixes for workshop items that were unable to be reloaded
  
• Fixing the Desert Saddle so it works with the Moa
  
• Fixing cart attachments as they were unrepairable
  
• Various Shadow related fixes and tweaks
  
• Updated some old search area's to properly highlight the compass when inside the search area.
  

[hr][/hr]

The next set of Olympus Missions have been converted into Open World Operations - bringing the total to 37.

These include:

• SPELUNKING: Assisted Stockpile
  
• HEADSTONE: Geo-Survey
  
• DEEP VEIN: Extraction
  
• PYRAMID: Construction
  
• DEATH RAY: Scan
  
• SOLID METAL: Hard Stockpile
  
• SEARCHLIGHT: Scan
  
• CLUSTERED: Extended Survey
  
• BIG SHOT: Stockpile
  
• UPLIFT: Bio-Research
  
• SNOWCRASH: Recovery
  
• SNOWBLIND: Scan
  
• NIGHTWATCH: Geo-Research
  
• LOOSE ENDS: Extermination
  
• VOYAGER: Recovery
  

All these missions (and more) can now be launched from your Open Worlds on Olympus and played through in the same session.


[hr][/hr]

As mentioned in previous weeks, the NullSector (our Free Prometheus Expansion) will include new Operations, a new exploration mechanic, new mutated creatures, and one new giant creature.

We are still actively working on the NullSector, with some big mission revamps in the works, more narrative, more dialogue, and more missions to provide the experience it deserves.

This region is not for the faint of heart. All the adjustments and differences are geared towards this being a hardcore survival challenge, so make sure you enter it prepared.

If you are interested in reading about what we plan to do with missions in the future, click here.


[hr][/hr]

Next week we will be adding a brand new section to the Prospector Field Guide for all craftable items in-game. These entries will include where they’re crafted, what recipes they’re used in, what their base stats are, and more.

This is a massive Quality of Life improvement and should make looking up items (and their subsequent uses) far easier and streamline many processes for players.
