I think it's better to have a cave opening that is just big enough for a quick entry/exit. Bears/murder horses can't get in then. You can stand on the inside and poke them with your big stick! Especially useful in the arctic biomes to keep the polar bears at bay.
Loving the format of this playthrough bud. As a recent purchaser of Icarus im learning a hell of a lot watching this very entertaining and knowledgeable playthrough. Big thumbs up 👍
Hi. I found your channel tonight. I love this style of long format play through. This is what I've been thinking about doing. Keep up the great work and don't listen to the haters. I subbed. Have a good day.
50:50 I asked this question in the official discord and someone responded with the game only simulates weather within 2 to 3 of the square tiles on the map. I can neither confirm or deny but that seems to be correct from my experience
If you want to level up quickly, take a trip to the arctic (avoid the south east arctic zone - Polar bear area...). Build a forward base, then step into the arctic and have at it with the snow wolves and snow leopards. The snow wolves give more xp, but are reasonably easy to kill if you can handle 'normal' wolves. Snow leopards give more xp, but are more dangerous. Learn how to set up the poles for hunting. 2 - 3 poles angled up + 1 horizontal at the top. 1 vertical at the base to stop anything running up. Crouch (stealth) mode to stop you falling off.
The Spear and Javelin are really powerful in the game.. I will end up straying more towards the bow once I get access to the better arrow, but I will also try and keep the Spear in the rotation. Thank you for the confirmation on the deer!
Beacons can be collected via SIMPL3 missions. When a mission supplies a beacon, see if you can get a resupply through the escape menu before completing the mission. It used to be possible to get 1 resupply per beacon mission.
I do recall that I did a mission where I built a lookout tower and installed a beacon.. and then I think when I collapsed the tower the beacon dropped and I was able to use it. I will check this out!
@@MaddstoneSurvives That's the one. There is also repair a building and place a beacon. Both used to allow a resupply. They may have been nerfed now though 😞
If you want a really big cave, top left corner of F2 by the waterfall. The C3 cave is also huge. There is a very large cave/tunnel system in D10-E11-F11. Icarus intel shows you exactly where they are. Also a lot of other info - it may be too much of a spoiler for some.
One of the many reason I love this game is you have so many options to play the game the way you want.. and next play thru you can try something different.. or even create a couple of characters and level them for specific jobs! Thank you for the comment and sharing! 😁
I'm quite horrible at hunting and I find that watching you hunt has helped me also hunt more efficiently in the game. Thank you!
Glad I can help! Thank you for the comment!! 😁

Great advice! Thank you once again for sharing!!
got to love when you are carving up an animal and a bear decides you are tasty snack.
The bears have perfected the Mid Skinning Attack move! 😝

Audio is sounding great for me. Headphone user. Another banger of a vid. Cheers mate.
Thank you for the feedback!
that deer shot though
Sometimes you get lucky.. well most of the time I get lucky! 😁
WooHoo! Thanks for posting this.
Audio in headset is great, perfect balance of game and voice as well.
Thank you for the feedback!

Talking about fallen earth brings back memories. I was a hazmat member in the game. Name was Kort
A lot of fun memories from back then for sure.. had a great community!

Yeah I seem to recall that was an early game strategy for me before, run for the hills when there was a lighting storm so it followed me. 🤣

Great info, thank you for sharing!
I learned a lot here. Here's a tip: you can split and move a stack by shift-dragging it. Alt-dragging will take one unit off.
Thank you for the tip! Now I just have to remember! 😁
Hey, like the series so far. Your play style suits me and your javelin skills are on point. For the record, only male deer have antlers.
The Spear and Javelin are really powerful in the game.. I will end up straying more towards the bow once I get access to the better arrow, but I will also try and keep the Spear in the rotation. Thank you for the confirmation on the deer!

There are animal trap. Used to catch wolves, hyenas and boars, all of which can be tamed. Your personal wolf pack is handy protection!
I will need to look into all that soon.

This play thru I am trying to resist using the Intel website, I want to use the crafted devices for the immersion 😁
@@MaddstoneSurvives The crafted items also can be altered.
To move the worms forwards, you need to leave the cave then re-enter I believe.
I believe so.
Icarus is really a great game. Autopickup wood is nice, but I prefer food buffs to get more XP first

I will get to play this game see it fun game
One of my favorite game to play, the building and crafting is very well done!
To find out what the modifier symbol means, take a look in the new field guide to see if it says anything.
Thanks for the info, I will check it out.
