Icarus Week 154 Update | Cows, Milk and most importantly, Cheese

Icarus 2024-11-15 02:02:40
`Welcome to Week 154.

Cows, Milk, and Dairy products have arrived on Icarus, opening up new recipes and farming systems to use.

With new animals also come new trophies that can be crafted and placed in your base.

Lastly, we’ve got a preview of a new weapon type that is coming to Icarus next week.

[quote=Exctoris] If you are using an NVIDA GPU and have updated your drivers recently to NVIDIA Driver 565.90 or newer you may be experiencing more frequent crashes with Icarus and other games. We have contacted NVIDIA and let them know. In the meantime we suggest reverting to 561.09. [/quote]

Notable Improvements:

This Week: Cows & Milk


Cows have come to Icarus. You can now purchase Calves from the orbital workshop and bring them down to your prospects, where you will need to then raise them up into Cows the same way you raise Terranus foals or Moa chicks found in the wild.

When the Calves mature, they will become Cows and periodically produce Milk if they are kept fed and watered. Two new items, the Milk Pail and the Milk Bottle, allow milk to be collected.

The Milk Pail (craftable on the Anvil) holds 5L of milk, but the Milk will slowly spoil, and once spoiled, the pail will empty. Milk bottles, craftable on the glassworking bench, hold 2L, but the Milk inside will not spoil.

Milk can then be crafted into Cream or Cheese or even drunk on its own for a stamina buff.

Cream and Cheese can be used as an intermediary for some new recipes, including Butter, Pavlova, Bacon Butties, Cheese Pizza, and Rolls, with more coming in the future.

This Week: Trophies


With new animals come new trophies, in Calf and Cow versions. These are craftable on the Trophy Bench.

A reminder: you will have to kill and collect the vestiges of both Calves and Cows to be able to craft these, so don’t get too attached.

Early Next Year: Husbandry


This addition is part of a bigger project we’ve been working on that we hope to bring out early next year - Husbandry. Specifically, with Cows, Bulls, Chickens, Roosters, Sheep, and Rams, we will be introducing a way to breed your animals to create new juvenile ones. We have this working internally but want to spend some more time testing and honing all the functionality to make sure it fits the game well and is rewarding to use. We are also looking into having some inherited traits to further the system.

Alongside this, we plan on updating the talent tree to include these changes and a few features that have been added over the years but haven’t been incorporated into the the tree fully.

Next Week: Assault Rifle


Next week, we plan to release the second new type of weapon in the ‘series’ we’ve been debuting—the first of which was the flamethrower.

This will be Icarus' first automatic assault rifle, which may seem overkill for the current foe you encounter but will make a lot more sense with some other upcoming features that will require a bit more firepower.
