| 0s | Hi, I'm Jake Dodunski |
|---|---|
| 2s | Project lead on Icarus, here at RocketWerkz |
| 4s | Today we are excited to introduce to you the Galileo patch |
| 8s | For those unfamiliar with our new content cadence |
| 10s | this is the first of several larger patches we have been working on, while still releasing smaller weekly updates |
| 16s | This patch includes several exciting features |
| 18s | including fishing, the bestiary, steam achievements, and trading cards |
| 24s | Our hero feature of Galileo is the introduction of fishing to Icarus |
| 28s | To go fishing, prospectors will be able to craft a fishing rod from the new fishing bench |
| 32s | along with traps and lures |
| 35s | All bodies of water can be fished |
| 36s | from running rivers, to the lakes they connect to |
| 39s | Each water body will contain a different variety of fish |
| 41s | so you will have to go searching to catch them all |
| 44s | Once you've cast your line |
| 45s | you'll be prompted to hook your fish and reel it in |
| 48s | Once hooked, you have to keep the fish in the 'golden zone' of this mini-game |
| 52s | When the fish is in the golden zone, progress increases |
| 56s | Once the progress reaches 100%, you will reel the fish in |
| 60s | Fish are either saltwater or freshwater |
| 62s | and come with a variety of stats |
| 64s | including quality, length, weight, and rarity |
| 68s | All fish you catch are recorded in the fishing book |
| 71s | which is part of the bestiary record |
| 73s | This can be opened by hitting 'J' on your keyboard |
| 76s | Players can increase the likelihood of catching better fish, or different types of fish by using lures |
| 81s | These are also craftable at the fishing bench, and provide different stats to your rods |
| 86s | These can be equipped, in a very similar way, to swapping ammo out on your gun |
| 90s | by holding the 'R' key |
| 92s | For players who don't want to actively fish |
| 94s | you can also build fishing traps, that are craftable from the fishing bench |
| 98s | these will slowly catch fish that are available within the current location |
| 101s | Though be warned |
| 102s | these also fill up with junk, and take far longer than using a rod |
| 107s | If you don't want to use a rod or traps |
| 109s | you can still go and shoot fish, or slash them with your knife |
| 112s | only now, you will get fish chunks instead |
| 115s | Fish caught with traps or rods can be taken to the fishing bench |
| 118s | and filleted into saltwater or freshwater fillets |
| 122s | All three ingredients can be used in a variety of recipes |
| 126s | Players can also craft new wall trophies and aquariums, to show off their prize catches |
| 132s | Our next Galileo feature is the Bestiary |
| 135s | This is a journal for prospectors to record what creatures they have encountered on Icarus |
| 140s | As players kill, |
| 141s | fall victim to, |
| 142s | skin, |
| 143s | or craft trophies of, |
| 145s | they will uncover more information about that creature |
| 148s | Each encounter with a creature is recorded individually, |
| 151s | and as players uncover more information, they will unlock perks related to that creature |
| 156s | Upon first encountering the creature, you learn its name and its biomes |
| 161s | Further encounters lead you to learn unique lore about your foe, |
| 164s | its weaknesses, habitats, and even unlock unique perks |
| 168s | Some of these include wolves dropping additional meat, |
| 171s | reduction of oxygen consumption, |
| 173s | and heat temperature resistance, while in the desert |
| 176s | In addition to this, for every 20% you complete of a Bestiary entry, |
| 180s | you gain 1% extra damage dealt, and 1% damage reduction taken against that creature |
| 186s | The last big feature is the addition of the Steam Achievements, and Steam Trading Cards, |
| 190s | along with profiles and emotes, you can now earn while playing Icarus |
| 195s | These have all been hand-drawn and crafted by our art team, and come with a range of challenges to unlock |
| 201s | We really hope you enjoy the Galileo patch, and look forward to your feedback |
