Icarus News

Welcome to Week 200.

This week, we’re adding a new flat solar panel to Icarus. It offers the same functionality as the existing model and allows easy placement on diagonal roofs.

We also take a look back at a summary of what we have added to the base icarus game over the last 200 weeks of consistent weekly patches since the launch of Icarus.

We also give a quick preview about what we are adding to the Orbital Workshop next week - the Cultivar Backpack.


[hr][/hr]

The new Flat Solar Panel has been added to Icarus, giving players a fresh option for generating solar power. This new variant functions exactly the same as the existing solar panel but offers a different form factor to better suit certain base designs.

It is unlocked using the same talent in the tech tree as the original solar panel, so there’s no need to spend additional points or unlock a new branch. Once unlocked, you'll have access to both versions and can choose the one that best fits your layout.

Unlike the standard model, the flat solar panel is designed to have a much lower profile and allowed to be cleanly placed on roofs, making it ideal for players looking to build more compact or streamlined bases. This placement flexibility allows for cleaner integration into your structure, especially for rooftop builds where space and aesthetics matter.

On top of its practical benefits, it simply looks great - a low-profile, modern design that adds a polished touch to any base.

This week marks a major milestone for Icarus: 200 consecutive weekly patches since launch. We haven’t missed a single week, and over that time, the game has grown far beyond its original scope. Your ongoing support has fueled our constant drive to expand, refine, and evolve the world of Icarus.

We’ve introduced major systems that have transformed how players experience the game. Open World mode brought persistent environments, allowing you to run missions and operations on a single, lasting world.

The introduction of Mounts and Pets, each with their own skill trees and progression, added new ways to travel across Icarus and engage in combat. Not only can you purchase pets from the Orbital Workshop, but you can also capture and tame wild animals in-game and raise them as companions.

We’ve added many new ways to interact with the environment, including Wild Beehives, Deep Ore Veins, and Enzyme Geysers. Each comes with its own challenges to overcome, offering substantial benefits and rewards for players.

The planet’s ecosystem has expanded as well. Creatures like Bees, Bats, Kiwis, Tuskers, Terrenus, and Dribbos have been introduced, along with new resources such as Milk, Cheese, Eggs, Seeds, Avocados, and Strawberries, enhancing farming and cooking.

Combat and gear progression have evolved significantly. New weapons like Submachine Guns, Assault Rifles and Flamethrowers have expanded your arsenal, while the addition of Alteration Benches lets you customize tools, weapons, and armor directly on-planet. These changes allow for more personal and adaptable loadouts to match your playstyle.

Base-building and outpost customization have also improved. We added deployables like Fortifications, Turrets, Wind Turbines, Smokers, and even Aquariums to keep the fish you catch. A dedicated backpack slot was introduced, along with a wide variety of backpacks with unique functions. And yes - we added plenty of rugs, because even space survival deserves good interior design.

The world itself has grown more dangerous with the arrival of World Bosses like the Scorpion, Hammerhead, and Landshark, offering high-stakes encounters for players seeking a challenge. These bosses test your combat skills and preparation and provide memorable battles across multiple biomes.

We’ve also added ways to restore the environment. The Thumper allows players to replenish mined voxels, while the Localized Terraforming Device restores trees and foliage that have been harvested, extending the ways players can interact with and sustain the world.

Player progression has been expanded by increasing the maximum level from 40 to 60, introducing brand new talent trees, fresh recipes, and enhanced mission rewards. This adds more depth to your character development and new goals to pursue as you explore Icarus.

Behind the scenes, some of the most important changes have been made to ensure the game’s long-term health. By removing backend dependencies and adding dedicated server support, we’ve ensured that even if the studio were to close in the future, the game will remain playable. Your progress is yours to keep, and your data stays in your hands.

Alongside all the free weekly content, we’ve delivered two full-sized maps, two major expansions, and multiple smaller DLCs that bring fresh stories, environments, and mechanics to Icarus. These additions continue to build on the game’s foundation and keep it evolving week after week.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Seeing what you build, how you play, and the stories you create keeps us motivated every step of the way. Here’s to the next 200 patches - and everything still to come.


[hr][/hr]
Next week, we’re introducing a brand-new backpack: the Cultivar. Designed with farmers in mind, this specialized backpack will assist players with seed collection and crop harvesting, making it an essential tool for anyone focused on agriculture and food production. Whether you're running a small greenhouse or a full-scale farm, the Cultivar is built to support your growing ambitions.

Welcome to Week 199.

This week, we’re introducing 29 new international flags to Icarus, which are items used to decorate your outposts and bases. Whether you're representing your home or just adding a personal touch to your setup, these flags offer a colorful way to customize your world.

Looking ahead to next week, we’re gearing up to celebrate a major milestone - our 200th weekly patch since Icarus first launched. To mark the occasion, we’ll be introducing a brand-new solar panel, allowing players to better integrate solar setups into their buildings.


[hr][/hr]
We’ve added 29 new international flags to Icarus, giving players a new way to personalize and decorate their bases. Whether you're flying the flag to represent your home or introducing some colors into your build, these flags are a great way to add character to your outpost.

The flags are available at Tier 2 and can be crafted using the Decoration Bench. They require 5 Steel Ingots and 5 Rope each, making them relatively accessible once you've progressed a bit into the tech tree.

Each flag comes with three display variations to suit different base styles and placements. You can choose between a large flagpole for outdoor areas, a smaller standing version for tighter spaces, or a wall-mounted option for a more compact decorative touch. This flexibility allows you to incorporate flags in a way that fits your aesthetic, whether you're building a rugged survival shelter or a high-tech base.

Whether you're celebrating your roots or just want to bring some extra color to your build, these new flag decorations offer a fun and meaningful way to express yourself in-game.

Welcome to Week 198.

This week’s update includes several server-side improvements aimed at boosting performance for hosts and dedicated server operators. If you're running games for friends or managing a server, you should see noticeable gains in stability and responsiveness.

We have also fixed a number of issues relating to crafting drinks which were inadvertently introduced last week. These have now been corrected.

Our sister product Stationeers also had a huge milestone this week, with the release of the Biggest Update Ever. Stationeers is a more complex, harsher game when it comes to space survival - if you haven't checked it out before now is a good time to.

To wrap things up, we’re sharing a sneak peek at next week’s Icarus update, featuring a fresh set of international flag-themed items. Check out a preview below.

• Recipes requiring resources can now pull from multiple containers for each crafted item rather than just a single one. (Example - Two Bottles of Milk with 500mL each can now craft one cream which requires 1000mL)
  
• Fixed issue where drinks like tea/coffee couldn't be crafted on some benches unless water containers were placed inside the bench's inventory
  
• Fixed issue in campfire where having tea leaves, coffee beans, water in inventory would cause a crafting loop to occur (coffee -> tea -> coffee etc.)
  
• Fixed issues where the players inventory could be shown over top of scope overlay
  
• Added fix for issue where starting a new prospect with the same name as one that had been previously deleted could cause the wrong map to be loaded when using the resume button from main menu

[hr][/hr]
Over the past few months, we’ve been focusing on making a series of fixes and adjustments aimed at improving performance and stability, especially for dedicated servers and hosts. These changes are designed to help the game run smoother and more reliably, ensuring a better experience for hosts and dedicated servers.

We’ve reduced how often Mounts, Buildings, Deployables, and Splines send updates over the network, which helps lower bandwidth and improve overall performance. Splines and Building Grids will now unload for clients when they’re far away, saving server resources.

Moving your cursor over interactable objects no longer floods the server with updates, cutting down unnecessary network traffic. We also improved how the game tracks Building and Deployable positions by using new spatial structures, making location checks much faster.

Updates for Crop Plots and Freezers are now spread out across different frames instead of all happening at once, easing the load on the system. Parts of the building update logic have been optimized for better performance, and unnecessary UI and effects processes that were running on dedicated servers have been removed.

Mount and Tame variables now update less frequently when no players are nearby, helping conserve processing power. Deployables also perform fewer outdoor shelter checks when the framerate drops, keeping gameplay smoother during performance issues.

Finally, spline placement is now client-controlled, resulting in a smoother building experience - especially on servers with higher ping or lower FPS.

If you encounter any issues that arise from these changes please let us know.

A big thank you to everyone on discord that has been helping us test this over the last few weeks you feedback has been invaluable.

Next week we are introducing a big set of international flag symbols which players will be able to craft and place around their base. the full list includes over 25 different flags which can be placed in three different ways each.

Welcome to Week 197.

This week brings the new ‘CHAC’ rifle to the Orbital Workshop, with an extra 25% critical damage and a 0.8-second reload.

In addition we are also adding 7.62mm ammo to the Orbital Workshop as well as some fixes around crafting.

We’ve also got some details about next weeks performance-focused patch.

• Fixed various issues with crafting drink flavours (tea/coffee/cocoa) where you could craft these with empty water containers
  
• Fixed issue where ice was queueing up recipes and melting in campfires without containers being present
  
• Mount modifiers are now correctly removed when sent up the space via the OEI - they where not before
  

[hr][/hr]

This week, we’re adding the new CHAC Rifle to the Orbital Workshop.

What the CHAC Rifle lacks in critical and projectile damage, it more than makes up for with its rate of fire and reload speed.

The CHAC Rifle sports a six-bullet magazine and a lightning-quick 0.8-second reload time. This means that while it might deal less damage per shot than the hunting rifle, it deals far more damage per minute.

A good example is the hunting rifle, which takes 18 seconds to take down a level one polar bear, compared to only 12 seconds for the CHAC Rifle. In layman terms, the speed and handling of the CHAC Rifle, more than makes up for the lower damage per shot.

The CHAC Rifle can be unlocked and purchased in the Orbital Workshop using Ren and Exotics.

In addition to the CHAC rifle we have also added the 7.62mm CHAC ammo box to the workshop which can be purchased using Ren.


[hr][/hr]

Next weeks update specifically targets performance ‘overhead’ involving the cost scaling of multiple players playing in one session.

We’ll have more details to share in our week 198 blog.
