Icarus Week 207 Update | New Butchery Bench & Prime Meat Recipes

Welcome to Week 207.

This week, we’re introducing the Butchery Bench, a specialised workstation for all things meat preparation. It streamlines breaking down cuts and crafting prime ingredients, making it a valuable addition to any kitchen setup.

We’ve also added unique modifiers to every prime meat, giving each cut its own distinct effect and adding more strategy to how you plan your meals.

And coming next week, we’ll share a first look at wall cupboards, a new storage option to help keep your base organised and efficient.

Notable Improvements:

• Fixing Biome Related Stamina Regen, Animal Threat, Exposure Resistance player stats as in some cases they where not being applied correctly, this fixes a few player & creature talents.
• Fixed issue where some NPC jump actions were very choppy and rubber-banded for clients in certain situations. This mostly affected Cats, Rock Golem.
• Ensure all Saddle SK meshes have a basic physics asset for render culling purposes. This fixes saddles disappearing from view when looking at certain angles/animations.

This Week: The Butchery Bench

This week, we’re introducing the Butchery Bench - a new Tier 3 craftable station designed to elevate your food preparation options. It neatly snaps to the existing Kitchen Bench and Biofuel Stove, giving your cooking setup a more cohesive feel. With the Butchery Bench, you can break down prime meats into regular raw meat or combine raw cuts to craft prime variants, giving prospectors greater control over their resources and more variety in their diets.

This Week: Unique Prime Meat Modifiers

We’ve also made adjustments to how prime meats function. Previously, all prime cuts granted the same modifier when consumed, but now each type offers its own unique effect. This change allows you to stack the benefits from two different prime meats, opening the door to more strategic meal planning and improved flexibility as you prepare for your next expedition.

Now that prime meats can be stacked (up to three active at a time, since each has unique modifiers), and considering they were already quite powerful, we’ve reduced their buff duration to bring them in line with the other campfire foods. We’ve also added minor buffs to the Tier 3 smoked meats to ensure they match the power level of the other T3 options. The general design goals for these changes are outlined below:

Next Week: Wall Mounted Cupboards

Next week we are adding a new way to store your resources while giving your base a more homely vibe. We are adding a few new cupboards which can be deployed exclusively on walls. Check them out next week.
