Icarus Dev Tracker

Welcome to Week 150 - another milestone we’re proud to achieve with you all.

We released the Null Sector last Friday and, as we mentioned in the post, spent the start of this week at our company ‘Re-Orientation’. This has meant we’ve had less than three days this week to spend on the patch, so we have focused on fixes for the Null Sector and improvements from your feedback.

If you missed the post last week we do a full breakdown of the Null Sector here.
The Null Sector is a new har... Read more

Welcome to Week 149 - The Null Sector.

This new, dangerous region will test the most seasoned players. Scarce resources, no map, dangerous biomes, and a new, immersive mission chain lie before you.

For the first time you will encounter NPC's on ICARUS, and you will receive extra talent points as a mission reward

The Null Sector is a new hardcore region of the Prometheus Map which requires the New Frontiers Expansion to play.

Contains the Following Fixes:

• Adjusted the quest information text (blue text) which was trying to lookup and get keybinds on dedicated servers (where keybinds don't exist). This was causing as crash when the dedicated server attempted to process the information.

Welcome to Week 148.

This week is the penultimate update before the release of the Null Sector, so we’ve focused on a bunch of QoL improvements and bug fixes in advance of this releasing. These include some recommendations from our community through Feature Upvote.

We’ve also got a bit more insight into what to expect with next week’s Null Sector release, and some details on how you can jump in and test it now on a temporary branch, if you want to help us find any outstanding issues.

Welcome to Week 147.

This week comes with a massive quality-of-life addition: an in-game wiki of items craftable in Icarus as a new section of the Field Guide. This includes where to find them, how to craft them, what to use them for, and what they’re connected to.

We also introduce some new exclusive bobbleheads for owners of Stationeers as a thank-you for supporting the studio.

Plus, we have a small update on where Null Sector is up to and what’s coming next week.

Notable Improvements:

• Prospects without local save files are no longer shown on the 'Load' screen. This should fix the issue where players would incorrectly see past multiplayer games in this list without having access to the save file
  
• Mounts are now bound to the account that claimed them instead of the specific character. This should fix the issue where players bringing down mounts that were claimed by a differ...

Welcome to week 144.

This week introduces the new Arctic Vesper, which is found in nests spawning in the frozen expanses of Icarus.

The Arctic Vesper is a dangerous foe, flying low to the ground and fiercely defending its nests, where you’ll be able to find the new ‘Guano’ resource that can be used in bio-fuel alternative recipes.

We also briefly mention the new cart attachments coming next week.

Notable Improvements

• Recipes that produce resources such as water or biofuel, will now display the amount of that resource produced on the recipe (See Composter)
  
• In place of stack count in item tooltips, items with a resource contained within (water / biofuel / electric charge) will show their current units and total capacity instead

Welcome to week 143

This week, we introduce a new growable plant: Sugarcane, which can be purchased as Seeds in the Orbital Workshop. Fully grown Sugarcane can be ground down in the Mortar and Pestle to make the newest ingredient on Icarus, Sugar.

With the addition of sugar comes new recipes and Candy, a new food group that doesn’t count towards the total active food buffs but provides small situational buffs for escaping dangerous situations.

We’ve also got a quick snapshot of what’s to come next week, and where you’ll find it nesting.
