Icarus Week 190 Update | Updates, improvements and fixes for Great Hunts

Week 190 brings our customary ‘week one patch’ after a major expansion.

The reception to Great Hunts has been awesome, so we’re happy to bring you an array of tweaks and improvements and catch a few bugs that slipped through the cracks.

We also have some details on the two hotfixes that went out last weekend if you missed them.

Finally, we’ve got details on next week's update, as we keep moving towards the week-200 milestone.

This Week: Great Hunts Week One Update

As is tradition, the week after a major expansion or update is reserved for a ‘week one’ patch, where we address any bugs, imbalances or issues that may have slipped through the cracks when releasing it.

Here are some of the key fixes and balances you can find in this week's update:

• Added Incendiary Sniper Ammo for the Anti-Materiel Rifle available from the Orbital Workshop
• Fixed buildings and deployables placed in instanced levels that were not being registered to the correct biome in the weather controller
• Fixed a bug with Outpost Veteran and Outpost Builder achievements, where they could be granted incorrectly on Open World prospects
• Fixed NPC dialogue not playing at the end of Ape B due to the ‘Bool default value’ being set to 'Played'
• Fixed Blackwolf armor set not allowing alterations
• Fixed the legendary bow with the 'fortified grip' attachment, not using stamina on secondary click hold
• Fixed Frostbreaker not using stamina when blocking
• Fixed the Gauntlet image on the Great Hunts selection buttons, which were incorrectly displaying
• Removed Great Hunts Module Item Tags as they were incorrectly marked as meta items
• Recommitted the ‘connecting overlay’ as it was not saved correctly
• Removed the ‘glow effect’ from SMPL3 Mission Cards
• Added UI fixes for prospect outcomes, so that at various scaling and zoom levels, the outcome text does not overlap
• Swapped the T3 Cleaner, dropped the mesh to use the machining bench kit
• Hooked up an optional water connection processing speed to the Biofuel Cleaner
• We now allow broken weapons to open the radial ammo menu so that loaded ammo can be unloaded without having to first repair
• Ape_A: Fixed ‘base cleanup’ to not clean up half the base immediately and the water after a delay, added cleaning up of the NPCs
• Small pouches are now crafted with the raw materials and paints rather than using the base pouch with paints - this is to avoid players using their pouches with items in crafting recipes, which results in loss of items
• Fixed issue on Great Hunt arena entrances where clients wouldn't see the 'returns in xx seconds' interact prompt
• Rimetusk Arena - Removed collision on many of the lower-hanging waterfall icicles to address the boss creature running into them and not being able to reach his location to regenerate armor
• Fixed the issue where the legendary weapon stat comparison widget would break in Bio-Lab after upgrading a slot
• Removed the Galileo Feature Level Lock on achievements - which may have been preventing unlocking achievements in Steam for anything introduced in Copernicus
• Fixed an issue where explosive rounds weren't getting cleaned up properly, potentially causing performance issues over a play session
• Added new ammo type in the workshop for the Anti-materiel Rifle - Incendiary rounds. These rounds also scale the damage of the fire damage which is applied to targets.
• Dead mounts with items in their inventory now persist between game reloads
• Loot Retrieval now works at a distance of 15m instead of 4m & Loot Retrieval no longer places loot bags halfway into the ground if player is crouching while they use it

This is just a small selection of the adjustments see the full list in the patch notes below.

Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback and experiences on our Discord and Feature Upvote.

This Week: Hotfixes v2.3.0.140125 and v2.3.0.140148

Some things are too important to wait for a weekly update, so we sometimes publish hotfixes.

Two hotfixes were pushed over the weekend, 125 on Friday NZT and 148 on Sunday NZT. A few of the details are below:

125 - Rimetusk Campaign Mission: ‘Field Work’ Blocker:

• Fixed an issue in the Rimetusk Campaign: 'Field Work' - where the mission could not be completed due to the objective asking for an item that no longer exists in Icarus to be crafted and placed

148 - Garganutan Boss & Achievement Fixes:

• Fixed issue where the Garganutan Boss would not take the appropriate amount of physical damage after players had completed the mission BLOOD THIRST, making the fight require fire/explosive damage instead of just regular ammo and melee. This has now been corrected
• Fixed an issue preventing the client from properly communicating with Steam to check off achievements. Any existing achievements that players have gained will sync up and be granted on Steam on login

Next Week: Electric Fireplace

Next week, we’ll be adding the new ‘Electric Fireplace', a Tier 4 option similar to the Biofuel Fireplace but connected to your power grid, rather than requiring a manual fuel source.

Your support makes these updates possible.
