Icarus News

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.

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.

Next week, we’re introducing a new style of solar panel that offers the same power-generating functionality as the existing model but with a fresh look. This new design gives players more visual variety when building and customizing their power setups, allowing for a solar option that better fits different base styles. Functionally, it operates just like the current solar panel, providing clean, renewable energy during the day. Check out the preview below.

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.

[hr][/hr]
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.

It has been a big week for our studio! Over on Stationeers, we’ve just released the Biggest Update Ever, featuring a massive terrain refactor alongside a host of major updates and improvements. This is a huge milestone for the game, and we’ve gone into more detail about what’s changed in the link provided - be sure to check it out!

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

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.

This week we’re making improvements to the auto-save system in Icarus. You’ll now be able to control the frequency at which the game auto-saves, which until now has been set to every minute.

• Reorganised Sleep Screen UI displays the information in a more logical way
  
• Fixed an issue where flamethrowers could destroy clay / obsidian / scoria nodes, making them unharvestable
  
• Improvements and small optimisation to the Recipe and Blueprint tooltips
  

[hr][/hr]

This week, we've made several tweaks and improvements to the auto-save system in Icarus.

You can now configure the timing between auto-saves, with the default frequency being upped
from 1 minute to 10. This should strike a better balance for the average player between interruptions caused by saving complex prospects and mitigating progress loss in the event of an unexpected shutdown.

This configuration option has been added to the in-game Gameplay settings menu, but those hosting dedicated servers will find the setting in their standard config file.

You'll be able to push the frequency all the way out to 60 minutes by default, with no limits on the dedicated server option.

We've also added a pop-up on the HUD that appears when auto-saving is occurring, to provide extra insight into what's going on behind the scenes.

Players should be aware that there are other cases where a save can be triggered, such as exiting the game. So you don't need to worry about waiting around for 10 minutes to save automatically. This system is there to handle periodic saves in the event of a crash or similar.



[hr][/hr]
Next week comes a brand new firearm addition to the workshop - the CHAC Rifle. This will be available to purchase and take on prospects just like the other workshop gear. Check out the patch next week for this new weapon.
