Just because I could, I deployed a vapor condenser on a geyser in Arcwood outpost and lo and behold, the peaceful Outpost turned into a not so peaceful place. First wave was wolves, second jaguars, and finally bears...and I was having trouble getting enough animal products..😅😅😅
Nicely done. Especially solo. The enzyme is used in the Rustic Bench, not Trophy Bench. And you were correct; certain statues can be made with it as a 'core' component. The statues are pretty cool looking, but only doable on Open World. Another great episode.
Another great episode! You did a great job with "fixing" the "building problem." The building availability is very vast in the game, but not very friendly in my opinion so I do understand how difficult it can be to "fix" a build. To fix your gate problem, just switch it with another wall piece. If the jags keep hitting the gate then by switching it with a wall instead and moving the gate to another spot if should "fix" the jag problem and have them attacking the spiked wall instead of the gate due to the pathing having them go to the same spot each time. If the jags keep hitting your gate even after you move it a place or two then you might need to reconsider removing it all together, but I doubt that will happen. If you are looking for the "prime meat" which look like raw steaks, there is a way to make the "raw steak" in the tier 2 cooking station using the stringy meat that you have available. You can make as much of the meat as you'd like as long as you have the tier 2 cooking station and some kind of meat. You need to spec into the taxidermy knife (tier 2 anvil to open) and use it on the animals to get the heads of the animals for the trophy bench. Thank you for the episode. I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Hitting crouch will unstick you from trees. I find it happens more when you're running and jump into the small trees. Rather annoying when fighting things! On a positive note. Lots of food now! haha!
I think Komodos are bugged. They just walk through things and destroy them like they did with your spikes. I just had one walk through an electric deep-mining drill and destroy it.
You can protect your gate with a few sections of separate spiked wall that they would need to path around to get to the gate. Predators have horrible pathing when they are attacking and always take the most direct rout. If that doesn't seem good enough for you then you can build an outer bailey with its own offset gate so that there does not exist a straight line path to an undefended gate. You can also cheese the mobs with a three sided shell with a fourth free floating wall blocking off the opening. Then you put platforms and a ladder on the walls and stay up high but close enough to repair everything as it gets damaged. Not as honorable as fighting them on the ground, but why should that matter?
Building is hard 🤣. I've spent countless hours building houses and bases in games. At least you get the resources back! Some games don't do that. The waves were INTENSE. WOW!

Ah I completely missed that bench. I'll check it out thanks!
Happened across your videos and glad I did. Really loving this game and will probably get it to play on stream.
Thanks! I've definitely enjoyed playing Icarus!
That's the rustic bench also does status with condense enzymes
Another great episode!

Yeah it seemed a bit tanky to me :)

Dope build it looks cool and like it took forever lol
I probably spent 20 minutes off camera working through it so not too long.

Yeah, if I didn't get resources back all my buildings would be square huts :)
