More about the game:
Trailblazers and treasure seekers from a dozen backgrounds, they sold up from Earth and Mars before setting out on the journey to Icarus. Arriving on the scarred, yet strangely familiar alien world, many asked whether they had made the right decision. But by this point, there was no turning back.
The earliest to land on Icarus, the First Cohort were granted mining licenses in its Earth-like zones, where natural resources could be harvested to boost their chances of survival and success.
Many of the First Cohort were already in space when the United Development Agency advertised – as close to covertly as was legally possible – for ‘contractors’. Others sold up on Earth and rode the newly-opened Brazilian space elevator to orbit, or decamped from Mars, before embarking in longsleep for Icarus, almost two years distant by NME ship.
Converging at last on Icarus, they shared a common mix of hope and desperation – a state that would come to define life on the planet for the First Cohort.
If you pre-ordered Icarus and participated in our Beta Weekends, your characters and progress will be wiped at launch. Don’t worry – for this launch weekend (until Sunday midnight PST) everyone gains a special 10% XP bonus, so you will progress faster the second time around.
Once your character hits Level 30 you’ll gain access to Tier 4 of the Tech Tree that makes advanced engineering and electronics possible.
This tier begins with unlocking the Fabricator, a 3D-printer-like device that provides materials like Titanium and Composites for your tools, armor and weapons.
Naturally, electricity requires a Generator. Once placed and fueled you can run cables to power other nearby electrical devices such as the Refrigerator (for the Desert), Heaters (for the Arctic), the Electric Furnace and Hydroponics. This electrical system lays the foundation for automation and other mechanical systems to be added to Icarus in future.
Hydroponics is a valuable addition to our Farming system, which wise Prospectors invest time and effort in. For example, the Reed Flowers used in making Stamina Buff Paste are only found along river banks or around lakes. By taking the time to farm them and other rare plants you can create your own crop close to your home base or in a biome where they don’t grow at all.
Unlocking Tier 4 also grants you access to one of Icarus’ most sought-after tools, the Extractor which is necessary for mining Exotic Matter.
When Icarus’ terraforming failed the planet was nearly abandoned, until a team of researchers discovered the cause: deposits of Exotic Matter believed to exist only within the hearts of collapsing stars. While these ‘impossible’ materials had corrupted the terraforming and poisoned the air, they were also valuable beyond measure. Their properties would enable widespread interstellar travel, affect mass, alter biology and spark extraordinary new scientific breakthroughs.
The UDA and the Factions operating on Icarus reward Prospectors handsomely for any Exotics they can bring back to orbit.
