Our Week 104 update is here. This week we’re adding Seed Pouches, a Tier 1 item that will store your seeds gathered while out exploring.

We’ve also got an update on Batteries and next week's update. You’ll also have probably noticed this update is a day early, which is intentional and will make sense tomorrow, so keep an eye out for some news.

Notable Improvements:

Permit sprint cancels reload on magazine and round fed weapons, if enabled in the control settings
In the Kill List operation, creatures now also spawn outside of mission area
Added the building tier to building piece tooltips
Added a 'Z' collision offset so you can more freely place rugs on top of floors with beams beneath them

This week: Seed Pouches

We did look into what it would take to upgrade to UE5.

Unfortunately many of the things we are doing are custom additions we made to UE, and some of those would need to be redone. Additionally, a lot of our art work would need to be redone to make use of nanite, etc...

This would be very, very expensive - probably 25 to 50% of the cost it was for us to make the game.

Week 103’s update brings two new rugs to Icarus, which require pelts and vestiges from two of the most fearsome foes - the Polar Bear and the Brown Bear.

These are craftable at Tier 3 on the Advanced Textile Bench, so get to gathering those materials and crafting.

In addition to cosmetic updates like these Rugs, we’re always working on new features and performance improvements and we have an update on big improvements coming to animals and taming, and batteries.

I was sad to see it go to

But we have been thinking about improving the “hardcore” mode and I thinking bringing this back and making it even tougher for that could be in the cards

Welcome to week 100, a century of Icarus weekly updates! This week brings the XENON backpack, a new hunting backpack with unique buffs and perks such as skinning speed boosts and reductions to knife wear.

Week Ninety Nine’s update is here, and we’re focusing on the Bestiary this week, rebalancing how you earn points and how many points each unlock takes to achieve.

Our focus has been to reduce the grind for this feature and make it more enjoyable for players to complete.

We’ve also added new animal trophies, with all creatures now having their own craftable version. Alongside this, we’ve made ‘Vestiges’ a harvestable item from any kill.

Notable Improvements

Buildings will now burn and melt when placed in lava (Thatch & Wood destroy right away, stone, concrete, glass, aluminum, and brick will slowly burn and be destroyed, Scoria Brick & Scoria will be unaffected)

Added minimum distance culling to fur shader, brown bear armor fur strands should no longer obstruct vision when using a hunting rifle

Week Ninety Eight brings our newest and most powerful mount to Icarus, the Tusker.

Found exclusively in the arctic regions of Styx for the time being, the Tusker has the highest health, regeneration, and carry capacity stats of any of our mounts so far, but trades its speed for these, making it slower but more durable.

We’ve also got an update on the next part of Hypatia which will see Olympus get Operations, and some fixes for bugs that arose in last week's update.

Jump in and have a read.

Notable Improvements

Fixed all stockpile missions as they would request another stockpile pod each new session and players would lose progress
Fixed WETWORK Olympus mission from being unclickable and thus unable to be started after the Olympus mission layout change last week
Fixed Bear Armor blocking some views in first-person
Adjustments to quest spawning and supply pod spawning to fix s...

The first part of our Hypatia Update is here adding Operations ('Open World Missions') to the Styx Expansion
These have proven really popular in the Prometheus map of our New Frontiers expansion, so we’re excited to bring these to Styx - a map rich with challenging geography, unique missions and violent fauna.

Styx was released back in 2022 and has since undergone a major transformation, with 27 missions, unique fauna, fish species, SMPL3 quests, and more. If you’ve enjoyed New Frontiers, or even Olympus (the original Icarus map), then Styx provides a new challenge for you to sink your teeth into.

Notable Improvements

Mesh and Texture adjustments to most building tiers which will provide some performance benefits and allows us to cosmetically skin these in future
Fixed Longbow being unable to be crafted or repaired on the forge or foundry as it was supposed to be
Fixed some collision issues present on th...
