Icarus Week Three Update | Agriculture & Survey

Post
Continuing our pattern of regular content updates, our two new prospects encourage you to leave the safety of your base and traverse Icarus’ wilderness. One is accessible earlier in the game while the other suits more experienced characters equipped to weather the worst storms.

Earlier this week we restored over 60'000 characters that were left behind on prospects after time ran out. This could be due to players not realizing that Icarus’ mission timer counts down in real time or cases where bugs and server issues preventing them from leaving in time. This restoration was our way of apologizing and making things right with players who lost their characters unfairly. ... Read more

Icarus Week Two Content Update

Post
Welcome back, Prospectors!
It has been another massive week for our player community and the development team. For us there has been a little less chaos than launch week, allowing us to continue to add optimizations, make servers more stable as well as add three new mission and hardcore mission variants.

The support from you, the community, has been amazing and we have been able to use your feedback to fix important issues and better balance the game. We’ve also been blown away by the screenshots and streams of you surviving, thriving and dieing on Icarus. Seeing people play the game is what makes it all worthwhile for us.

We'll let you know the exact time soon.

But you keep anything from the Orbital Workshop, and Exotic Matter when you get to mining that.

PINNED: Hotfix 1.0.3.87891 is out. Fixes, balance and a backpack!

Comment

More localization updates are coming for players who don't play in English.

The backpack was something we'd been thinking about for a while, and was a popular request on Feature Upvote too. Only 1-2 days ago we started work on it, so we're pleased we got into the game pretty quickly.

Fabricator rebalance, shadow fixes on foliage and mountains, and a backpack!

Our first patch is out. We are focused on being just as responsive as we were during the beta weekends now we have transitioned into a live game. We have big plans with what we want to do, but these require us to continue to fix the game and implement things - and we appreciate the community help in doing this.

Version 1.0.3.87891
- Fixed issue where the First Cohort Envirosuit or Fur Armor may displayed incorrectly during the skinning animation.
- Fixed issue with shadows being displayed incorrectly on the distant mountains.
- Fixed issue where some of the new foliage for wild crops could have their shadows display incorrectly at a distance.
- Fixed issue where some translated text was not displayed in the correct language.
- Reduced colour saturation on wild crops so they better blend in with their surroundings.
- Updated Fabricator recipe to reduce... Read more

PINNED: Update from Developer : Outage

Post
    sknightly on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
There was an outage just now (just before 7pm PST Fri 3 December) and many players got kicked out of the game and could not reconnect.

We are urgently looking into it and will keep you posted here when the servers are back up.

EDIT: We will post updates in this thread. We have some ideas of what happened and will continue to provide updates here.

UPDATE at 7:28 PM: We may have found the problem... We were rate limited on the Steam Authentication servers. We are working on a fix now!

UPDATE at 7:42 PM: YOU CAN GET IN AGAIN NOW!
You should be able to reconnect and rejoin now!

Our apologies for the inconvenience. The outage lasted about 40 minutes. We will provide a debrief later so we learn from this and avoid it happening to you again.

PINNED: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Post
    sknightly on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
GENERAL
Q: Should I choose DirectX 11 or DirectX 12?
A: DirectX 11 provides the fastest and most stable game experience, and is our default setting. Enable DirectX 12 if you have an RTX graphics card and want to play with RTX Global Illumination. NVIDIA DLSS and FSR acceleration technologies are enabled in both settings.

Q: What are the minimum and recommended PC specs?
A: See this thread about our hardware specs and graphics optimization.

Q: Can I change key bindings?
A: Yes, once you are in the game, or orbital station you can change the keys in the Controls section of Settings Menu. This option is not visible on the title screen but is in the game.

Q: Will Icarus have controller support?
A: Currently, you can partly bind some stuff but not all actions.

Q: Can I skip the introduction video?
A: Yes.

If you pre-ordered the Supporters Edition you'll find the First Cohort Envirosuit in the Workshop.

Icarus: First Cohort is LIVE

Post
A new breed of prospectors – the First Cohort – were drawn to rumors of an extraordinary discovery...



Trailblazers and treasure seekers from a dozen backgrounds, they sold up from Earth and Mars before setting out on the journey to Icarus. Arriving on the scarred, yet strangely familiar alien world, many asked whether they had made the right decision. But by this point, there was no turning back.

The earliest to land on Icarus, the First Cohort were granted mining licenses in its Earth-like zones, where natural resources could be harvested to boost their chances of survival and success.

Many of the First Cohort were already in space when the United Development Agency advertised – as close to covertly as was legally possible – for ‘contractors’. Others sold up on Earth and rode the newly-open... Read more

Message Steam support about this.

The Supporters edition is a "Package", made up of the Standard Edition and the Supporters Edition. It looks like it's only refunding you one part of the package. Let Steam know that you want to refund the entire Package.
