Icarus Week 208 Update | Dangerous Horizons Expansion News & Wall Storage

Welcome to Week 208.

This week we unveiled the Critical Mass trailer which acts as a teaser for our next major expansion Dangerous Horizons!

For our regular content this week we've added three new recipes to the existing storage cupboard blueprints to allow you to craft some new cupboards that can be put on your walls.

Next week is a very special week for us - it will mark four years since the official 1.0 launch of Icarus! We will be doing a developer livestream as well as releasing a brand new outpost.

Notable Improvements:

• Improved the way Juveniles calculate their follow distance while you are mounted, which should prevent them getting under your feet as much
• Improved Taming mechanics for trapped animals so that their progress is less likely to get stuck
• Updated icons on juvenile taming tooltip to make shelter requirement look less like sleep, make it more obvious when tame is too hot or cold

Dangerous Horizons Announcement

As many of you may have guessed from recent weekly news posts and patch notes, we’ve been hard at work preparing for the release of our next major expansion: Dangerous Horizons.

Dangerous Horizons takes prospectors to a brand-new region on Icarus - Elysium, a fresh map filled with unique challenges. The expansion introduces a full narrative storyline and mission chain, the long-awaited Tech Tier 5, new biomes, new bosses, new armours, oil, creatures, tames, mounts, radiation, tools, and even a laser sidearm. It’s no exaggeration to say this may be our biggest expansion yet.

As with all our expansions, a substantial amount of free content will launch alongside the paid features. And, as always, if the host player owns the expansion or DLC, all players in the session can access the new content at no additional cost.

We’re excited to share more details through livestreams, patch posts, and hints in upcoming weekly updates. Wishlist Dangerous Horizons and make sure to check back each week to see what else we have in store.

This Week: Wall Storage

This week we’ve added three new small wall cupboards that can be attached to walls - offering more flexible storage options for your bases. The new cupboards come in three varieties: wood, refined wood, and metal. You won’t need any additional blueprint points to unlock them, as they use the existing cupboard blueprints. Each wall cupboard has roughly half the number of slots of its floor counterpart, costs about half as much, occupies less than half the space, and provides the added advantage of wall placement.

We’ve also performed a balance adjustment on the existing cupboards: refined wood cupboards (both the original floor-standing versions and the new wall variants) now sit between the regular wood and metal options in terms of inventory capacity - clearly defining a mid-tier category among deployables.

Next Week: Frostfall Outpost & Icarus 4 Year Anniversary

Join us on twitch.tv/rocketwerkz for a special livestream at 9am NZT where we reflect on four years of Icarus Weekly updates.

We will also be releasing our first multi-biome outpost called Frostfall. An experiment into how far we can push outposts and where we try our new world building techniques.

Your support makes these updates possible.
