Icarus Dev Tracker

Its something we really want to add, along with a balance of all the energy / power systems. We are planning to do something early next year after data decentralization.

1, dedi servers are always on so whats gonna happen to your base
when no one is on at that moment?
lotta storms happen and on styx stone gets damaged
would we have to build all the way to concrete before getting off every time?

There is in option in the config of the server as to how long the game runs when no-one is connected. I believe we default it to 3 minutes, then the server switches to lobby mode, and the next time you connect you will have to load up the session. While the server is in lobby mode the game isn't running so no events or anything will be happenning.

When missions finish players will be instantly rewarded with the Ren / Exotics, no need to go back up in the dropship to collect the rewards... Read more

Dedicated servers are in active development, over on discord we have some channels set up with how to access the tool, the wiki on how to host and steam branch required for you to connect.

We are looking at adjusting this soon, so that a mission-recipe unlock on one character unlocks for all.

We are planning to expand the Open World Quests with larger objectives, they will come and take a little time.

As noted above, we are looking at how to do respawning resources in open world. In our last steering group meeting we discussed doing this in multiple parts to ease development. Respawning ores is probably going to be more straightforward than respawning trees/bushes. We want to make sure we do it as best as we can, so we are studying the systems behind it and working out the best way to balance tech/performance/design/UX considerations before implementing.

Please do raise a steam support ticket relating to download and install issues. Many users have reported issues with steam download and verification of download speeds. We upload the files to steam, and they provision them via their content delivery servers. Unfortunately, we have no control over how this occurs. We do have many users report issues with how updates occur, including in our other product, which appears to have started just over a year ago when Valve made some changes to how downloads are applied.

By raising a support ticket with Steam, they might be able to diagnose the specific issues that are causing downloads to be a problem for some users, and it can be very frustrating with some having to resort to refunding the game. It also makes us extra cautious to apply hotfixes, which is challenging because sometimes we really need to get a fix out.

Can you post some information about your game and setup? We've seen a lot of framerate improvement with the last couple of updates as a general rule, so would love to be able to pin down what specific circumstances are leading to people experiencing the opposite. Most important in order is probably hardware, map, part of the map you're experiencing the biggest issues on, hosting or not, number of players, game mode etc.

We've added Autorun this week!
