Icarus Update Brings Stability Improvements and New Features
September 19, 2025 - Today, ICARUS developers announced a significant update aimed at enhancing gameplay stability and introducing exciting new features. This update addresses player feedback while previewing upcoming international-themed content.
Server-Side Enhancements
The update includes crucial server-side improvements to boost performance and reliability for both hosts and dedicated server operators, ensuring a smoother experience for all players.
New Crafting Capabilities
Players can now craft items by pulling resources from multiple containers simultaneously, streamlining the crafting process. Additionally, an upcoming feature will allow crafting over 25 different international flags in three distinct ways, adding a fresh layer of personalization to outposts.
Building Experience Upgrade
Client-controlled spline placement has been implemented to offer a more fluid building experience, particularly beneficial on servers with high ping or low FPS. This enhancement is part of broader network performance improvements that reduce updates for mounts, buildings, deployables, and splines.
Bug Fixes
Several bugs have been resolved, including:
- Fixing issues where certain drinks couldn't be crafted on some benches without water containers in the inventory.
- Resolving crafting loops involving tea leaves, coffee beans, and water in campfires.
- Addressing inventory overlays on scopes.
- Correcting map loading errors when resuming a new prospect with the same name as a previously deleted one.
Stationeers Milestone Update
ICARUS sister product Stationeers has also received its 'Biggest Update Ever,' further solidifying the developer's commitment to both titles.
