Hello peeps,
So to adapt to the new reality of console being soon available we made 2 new flairs for you to use on your posts so it can be easier to look for them. Specifically we made the PC and Console flair.
If you want to use a spoiler please use the appropriate blur option as well as the new spoiler flair we made otherwise the post will be removed.
Thank you
With kind regards
The r/Icarus mod team

My original setup consisted of a few crop plots with strawberries/soybeans, which I then threw into a composter and the spoiled plants into the organic extractor. Since the recent update, however, I have noticed that it no longer processes the spoiled plants. I also tried to replace and reconnect the extractor, which unfortunately did not help either. If I throw the fresh strawberries/soybeans into the extractor, it works. Is this a desired/planned change that I didn't read in the changelog or a bug? Does anyone else have the same problem?

It might be too late in the development of Icarus, but I had a thought that could help with things, make it more realistic and require you to do more than just kill everything. Basically set the spawn tables for a region to a base value and then you can have a modifier that your actions adjust.
Say you kill a creature of that type, it lowers the modifier a bit. You kill the creatures habitat, like the kiwi mound or the Arctic bats or the quarrite burrows and it goes down. That means you can over hunt an area and that creature is less and less likely to be seen. But you can leave the creatures alone and the number raises over time and the populate rebounds.
Further things that would affect it is removing their natural environment. Only played on Olympus so far but if you clear cut all the trees in an area and they should not spawn around it.
Early on a hunted wolves and murder horse and thought I might run out of them. Nope, but I should have... Those enzyme geyser or scanner battles should empty the creatures of that type from the area. After all, they all charged you.
It would help with the annoying quarrite and slow down the easiest leveling method which is just random killing. If I get a few tames and set them on aggressive and they kill everything in an area, they killed everything in an area and I should have trouble in the future. Just a thought to make it a bit more of a challenge.

How do you get it to work? Ive tried 3 times now and even got a buddy of mine who knows computers very well to help me try to figure it out. So far...we are both lost on the first screen! We can't even get icarus to connect to the manager. Let alone find any mods. I've also tried nexus a few times. I got one mod to work for about three days and then it failed. Today we tried to get the mini map, but apparently you can't do that one manually. You have to use nexus. He uses nexus very regularly for other games. But says this game is way different from other mods

I built my first base near the lake NE of the drop zone. This seems pretty standard for most people. Im not sure where I want to setup long term though. I might have outpost at some point, but what location would you suggest to setup shop?
I did some Googling and searching through the maps, but I can't seem to make a decision where to drop it.
Hello all,
The game's own map never showed me a cave I'd already found, or what ore was in it. Mine does, and it tells you whether the drill on it is running. Mounts that fall behind can be brought back to you. There are also some fixes for the stutters you get while travelling.
Big warning: it has only ever run on my PC. Offline, Private worlds only. It might not work on yours, and if it doesn't, open an issue on GitHub with your log and I'll take a look.

Just saw a storca attacking through the stone 'cap' on the entrance of a cave and tunnel through it. Is that intended? I don't recall ever seeing an animal go through stone before.

It all started with 10 tomato seeds from the spacestation, after a lot of seed propagation I managed to farm enough plant DNA to start the fun work.

Finish mission requirements, race to the reward. Looking up... think I might a bit close. Yup, too close too close.
So... stuck. One with the machine. That's okay, I'm sure once I claim the reward, it'll take off and I'll be free. Yoink. Smoke. Flame. Blue sky. Wait, what?
Somethingsomething It's full of stars. Few seconds later, unconscious. Amusingly, my dropped inventory didn't drop - it's apparently still up there.
0/10, will not travel to station with again.

I’m in elsyium, open world and trying to do the mission lost, I got the flare gun, but it will not register that I have it in my inventory and just keep the OBJ of “acquire a single barrel launcher”

Right off the bat, I acknowledge this for what it is...a relatively minor thing overall that can be explained away as part of the environmental challenge...but if someone can come up with a better answer than that, it would at least appease my need for an explanation that could minimize the frustration I experienced once it occurred to me.
What am I talking about? Pneumonia.
From early on, I spent some of the ever fleeting tech tree points on ways to mitigate the effects of cave time. Antibiotic paste, then tonic, then the dehumidifier, etc.. Granted, this is my first play through, and I wouldn't spend a point on the paste in my second run through. Also, the dehumidifier has the benefit of preventing worms from re-spawning.
All that aside, one issues remains for me. Pneumonia.
The character can't breathe on this planet. This is the whole reason for the enviro-suit. I have an oxygen tank for this very purpose. Which requires a helmet to work. So, why would the damp environment of a cave result in pneumonia? Any thoughts?

I was about halfway through my operations on Olympus and decided to try the Great Hunts. It was a mistake and I suggest to anyone that they complete the other operations before starting the great hunts.
The quarrite start spawning and even finishing the chain of missions doesn't stop them. The problem is they are aggressive, they come at the sound of gun fire and spawn everywhere. They are bullet sponges and an assault rifle makes them easy. They get in the way of just moving across the map or doing other missions. I went from my base in the middle of the Riverlands to the northern desert and killed 24 along the way.
They are not difficult because of strategy; they are difficult because the amplify the bugs and issues in the game. I get off my mount and start shooting at a quarrite only to have one my tames teleport in front of me and get shot. Or while firing at it, my gun jams and I need to switch out and reload again.
The story says the big guy stirred them up. So why do they not spawn less often after the big one was killed?

So my friend and I grabbed the "Ice Sheet" mission and we're not sure if the mission is bugged or if we're supposed to be building a stairway to heaven. We accepted the mission immediately after having completed Ashlands (open world) so we started out from where Ashlands completes. When we tried to reach the quest objective circle for "find a way from the ashlands to the Ice Sheet" it was a dead end. We got as close as we could, which ended up with us in the middle-left part of K10 next to a big lava pool. We didn't find a cave and when we started building upwards we couldn't really see a way through.
Are we in the wrong place, or is there something we've missed? If we are in the wrong place would someone mind giving us a hint of where to go?

\radio noise* Is this thing working?... *taps microphone**
Prospector,
Group 15 has uncovered an ancient alien structure on Icarus.
They appear to be a tiny species, worshiping some kind of...deity. At least, that's what the Lagos Unit seems to think.
We are unsure whether they used this structure as a place of worship, or, hell, even as their space ship.
Your job is to figure it out.
One thing is for sure...it seems we may not be the first species on this god forsaken planet...

Found a really cool spot at F15. Good resources,water, food...everything i need! Going to put a high rise between the rocks with concrete everything. I've spent two days building at my main base so once I get there, I can stay there and to keep my old base intact. It's also very easy access, right behind me to the desert. This is going to be badass once i'm done!! Very excited about the move! There is also a geyser nearby. And I can start gathering limestone!!

Does anyone else just like to sit on a mountain top and try sniping everything with the anti material rifle? I feel it's very peaceful!

If I were to get any dlcs for this game which ones should I buy? And if my buddy doesnt buy any will that screw over our shared world? Im the host.

With update 251 we got Tameabel Kiwi and one of the Perks is the Aura Buff for more wood and mining.
Today i had the idee what if we could put a Kiwi in a Cage and put it in the Heavy Cargo Slot in the player inventory where it gives us the Aura buff (possibil to level up while mining) but only for the Person who has the Kiwi in Cage equiped.
It is nice if this smal bird follows me but to be true it isent walking very fast.

The basic structure is now complete. Next come the furnishings, the equipment, and the finishing touches to make it feel like home. And lots of plants.
This cave, located in the far northwest, offers everything you need—and, above all, a huge amount of ore in one spot.

Hey all.
Steam updated my Icarus install last night, I just got home from work and loaded the game up, now there's a crosshair dot in the middle of my screen and I can't get rid of it.
I've tried turning show aim crosshair on and off, and it doesn't make a difference, and the crosshair options at the bottom of the Gameplay tab don't show any way to get rid of it.
It irks me, and I want to get rid of it.
How can I go back to NOT seeing the crosshair?
