Icarus Week 175 Update | Envirosuit Swapping & Seeds Buffed

Post
Based on your feedback on last weeks seed changes, we’ve further tweaked parts of the new seed system. Extracting seeds is now faster and requires less produce. Seed Pouches have more slots and we’ve added a Seed Harvester to the Harvesting Cart.

We’ve also implemented the long-requested ability to swap your envirosuit while on planet, allowing complete customization of your player loadout in Open World.

Notable Improvements:
  • If tamed mounts fall out of the world without freezing correctly, they will now attempt to teleport to owning player (if online) or to their last grounded location

  • Fix auto reload message showing up for both client and host when initiated by client

  • Fixed clients being able to see the Hammerhead Slug boss spawner and boss icon at the same time

  • Attempted Fix of the Crop Plot Tooltips so they display correct information and growth progress when snapping bet...

Post
    Shamm on Steam - Thread - Direct
This week, we’re introducing a big change to how seeds are collected for farming. This includes four new items and a new ‘opt-in’ mechanic for harvesting seeds.

We’ve also got an update on our internal playtesting of the upcoming Great Hunts expansion.

Notable Improvements:
  • Allowing more items to be placed on other deployables, including the tackle box, many vases and the workshop cooker and heater
  • Reduced Fire Capsule size on MXC Campfire so that you can no longer catch on fire by simply standing next to it
  • Added camera shake to horse mount kick montage for added zest
  • Changed fluid ammo weapons to have a progress bar display rather than shot numbers

Icarus Week 173 Update | New 9mm Submachine Gun and 5.56mm Assault Rifle

Post
    Shamm on Steam - Thread - Direct
Week 173 brings the long-awaited rework of our firearms range, introducing the SMG and Assault Rifle as replacements for the now sunset Light Automatic Carbine.

The Submachine Gun is similar in style, using low calibre 9mm ammunition with a fast fire rate, while the Assault Rifle keeps the look of the Light Automatic Carbine but uses 5.56mm rounds at a slower fire rate with more punch.

Notable Improvements:
  • Increased leniency on Vapor Condensor waves, reducing cases of creatures getting stuck and interrupting the flow of the event
  • Bees now return to their nest if outside a certain range, even if they've attacked recently
  • Drastically reduced the cost of the plants required for cocoa, wild tea, green tea and coffee & coffee with cream drinks

Defeated the Sandworm (Boss?) on Hard several times, but no achievement. Searching for solutions online has been fruitless.

First of all, only for the person dealing the last blow it will count as having killed it. Before it became a Steam achievement, it was already an in-game achievement. We've killed numerous sandworms, black wolves, scorpions etc, but it has always been the case that the player dealing the death blow was the one who got the in-game achievement. If your mounts killed the Sandworm, that's a possible reason why you as a player did not get the achievement.

Another thing: When you go in solo (without other players, without mounts) and you use for example fire arrows and the last tick of health is taken away by fire, it does not count for you as player; it's the fire that dealt the last blow. Keep that in mind when soloing the Sandworm.

Lucky for you the Sandworm is the easiest world boss to take down, once you know it's attack pattern. How I personally deal with sandworms (I kill them just for fun, since I've already got the achievement and they're very easy to avoid): Go...
