You can pull down building parts by looking at them and pressing 'Y'. You'll get all the parts back in your inventory. Handy if you misplace a wall etc. So glad you're doing a series on Icarus 👍
I came to the comments so quick to say this as well. nothing frustrated me more in the early game than tearing down the walls I accidentally placed haha
i am kinda wanting to play Icarus. But seeing a game that hides part of the map behind a paid DLC is kind of a bummer. And that the basegame plus DLC´s together costs over 100 bucks doesn´t make it better. How much do i get just playing the base game?
@@pApA0LeGBa the paid DLC is a whole different map. in base game you have Olympus and Styx maps and you can craft like 80% of research tree. also you have almost 100 missions in base game so plenty stuff to do
I just got this game last night and have to thank you for this, going to come in handy when I get home. 😂 Definitely a learning curve to this game, forgot to unlock the torch so I’m stuck in the pitch black waiting for daylight.
@@pApA0LeGBa don’t worry it’s not behind DLC, been out for a bit now and they released their first real money content. They have been giving everything free for first year for players playing it then but if you get into it now I don’t think it’s all free anymore.
@@maikohfahuldust9231 first, there’s no way to know that. Second, I’ve played SotF, and the building system is utter crap. But there’s no reason to actually build a base. The visuals are worse than Icarus. Icarus has endless playability, while SotF is pretty limited. There is no real grinding and crafting. You run around collecting loot which you alter somewhat in your inventory.. which is absurd The whole game is janky.
Cool that you made your way over to Icarus. Including Beta, I have around 850 hrs in this game. I feel like the game has trended in the right direction over the last year and has now satisfied some long standing gripes. Looking forward to the series.
I have been playing Icarus in the run down missions and love how it has progressed since the launch of it! I 100% recommend it to anyone who likes the survival grind games and even better with friends. I think the crafting and weather events make the game all the better.
Caves are where its at. They are behind rock walls that look different, like a cave should be there. There is also an underwater cave in the lake. Be careful in the caves though cause there are ranged alien enemy stalks that are like turrets kinda. You also get pneumonia if you spend too much time in there without the right protection. The entrance of a cave is a based building spot however. If you can find that line where you are covered but not at risk of pneumonia, its a great place to build a base that the storm won't destroy. Once you unlock the dehumidifier you can expand back into the cave a bit. Great protection from weather and fauna.
I gotta say, I'm really looking forward to an ongoing series with this game. There is a lot of content by the looks of it. I'm excited to see where this series goes!
Few tips , for fast leveling kill animals as much as possible and gut em / collect bones , predators give specially good exp vs herbivores. Later on you can unlock mission board that gives random missions which are good exp. Avoid snow areas before you get more better armor for it (you will die there otherwise). Caves behind rockwalls (check maps for more info) has metals which you will need later on to craft iron gear etc. Please do more icarus gameplay , good change for all 7DTD content. Oh and when putting camp fire inside house (you will need for sleeping) take care to not put it near any containers etc or your house will burn down 🤣
Whenever you get to the upgrade point to create stone structures it'll save you the time to repair since stone structures can mostly be damaged from severe weathers and immunity to thunderstorms (yes you can get struck by lightning)
@@StevieC789 yea not my 1st rodeo from that. And thanks to GNS I'm doing a 2 series of Open world and Missions from Icarus (my previous account is still there but I will make a fresh new character for these series)
First! Think KNIFE. Stab and dodge, rinse repeat. The knife is borderline OP for defense. Make 2 and keep'em repaired. Second! Harvest nodes to completion and stop letting your wood despawn. Chop it gather it and STACK it. Third! Thatch is the worst material and very susceptible to damage. Get to wood then STONE asap. Last! Keep up the great content.
really fun to see you try this out :) surviving the early game is definitely the hardest part. since the progression is player based more so than world based, it takes awhile to level up enough to really get things going. For food, highly recommend the drying rack as you can get a lot of unique buffs from there. Eventually you can also unlock rain collection, allowing you to collect clean water. As far as leveling up, the fastest way is by fighting things, especially hostile creatures. Next to that is probably mining, especially in the caves. Just be very prepared for caves, as they present a lot of unique challenges.
I’m so glad I found one of my go to gamer UA-camrs I watch playing this game, it’s one of my absolute favourites! Also as soon as you were like ‘it’s a horse thing’ I was like NO ITS A WAR DONKEY RUN😂 (and whenever you find the weird emu ostrich things - I refer to them as murder chickens because they’re the freaking worst unless you tame them lmao)
What an amazing. I would love to see a whole series of this game from you. You are by far one of my favorite UA-camrs and you bring much joy to me from your videos. Keep it up and I wish you well
I love Icarus. I started playing somewhere mid-way between launch and the newest expansion. My first impressions weren't great, mostly because it didn't run great. I picked it back up after a few months and a GPU upgrade and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I also enjoyed your initial playthrough. I think the video editing greatly aids the content to where it's engaging and immersive, almost as if we are joining you on your journey. Well earned sub from me. Keep up the great work!
Looks like Ark without Dinosaurs, down to the green-outlined building pieces, the way resources collapse after collection, the whole shebang. Can't wait to see what else is up with the game.
yeah, a lot of games have adopted the fortnite/ark/conan/etc building system. The mining and cutting the trees, then the logs is a great touch. To me, the real star of this game is the weather system. I've never played another game with such detailed weather. The flash storms and the blizzards are truly great. There is a LOT of progression in the game so it gives you plenty to progress towards, there are waterwheels, generators, farming, animal taming, lots of production chains, cave exploring, and missions if you build the radio, that all make this game even more enjoyable.
I love how your voice changes when you go under water. That's a nice detail :) Also, your video made me want to play again! So I'm updating the game as we speak.
Absolutely love this! I’ve had Icarus in my steam store for forever but I kept hearing how wonky it was so I’m so glad you decided to start this and I hope it’s a long series!!
I actually started playing Icarus after watching this. I was reluctant when it first came out because of the lack of an option to stay based planet-side, but this is clearly no longer an issue. Love the high-quality content, as usual!
As some one that has played a fair bit of icarus and knowing what you 'should' be doing, it was really fun watching you discover everything. :D A+ would watch again
Great to watch you learn and thrive. Skinning benches are necessary. Also the next level of oxidizer with a bottle you can put in your helmet. For deer, don’t bother unless you have a sneak headshot. Looking forward to more.
Nice to see this game again, might try putting the oxidizer into your house so you can create a room were your oxygen remains full, handy for oxygen waypoints during long trips were ocote is rare.
Seems like a drag to be crafting the upgrades in your inventory rather than simply hit upgrade with the hammer if you have the right materials in the inventory.. idk, just me?
you can build a radio and take on missions. Some of them are pretty intense, especially the Vapor condensor mission in which you place the condensor over a geyser and this "disturbs the wildlife" and basically you have waves of creatures that try to destroy the machine so it becomes a tower defense game of you fighting of dozens of increasingly harder animals each wave. There are also "monster hunts" where you can hunt some very dangerous boss monsters that are much bigger, dangerous and often have hordes of helpers. Pretty hard until you get into the firearms age of the game. Overall the game is pretty much a simple survival game with beautiful graphics and a lot of workstations and things to build but not much to progress towards.. but the missions do add a lot of variation to it to help it keep from getting stale too fast.
Just started watching, tip, thatch will get damaged by weather so may want to upgrade son. If not already done! This is a good game btw! look forward to seeing more
Yes Thatch is kind of a waste of points as it catches fire on almost immediately if struck by fire and takes alot of damage in storms. Wood has the same issues but its more "durability" than thatch. Mainly want to beeline for level 10 (tier 2) and work on stone buildings.
I'm glad to see you playing Icarus! I bought while back as well and let it sit until I saw the updates being played in some let's plays. I suck at it but I am loving it overall.
NIce to see you give this game a try. It is currently one of my favorite games. I am impressed with how well you grasped most of the concepts of the game as well as the mechanics. A few tips to help A sickle allow you to gather more plant fibers as well as more fruits and berries. Use it as often as you can. Stone building is unlocked at level 15. Upgrade to that as soon as you can so your structure can handle the weathers. Also, keeping stuff by the windows will damage them during bad weather. There is a shutter you can build when unlocking the half roof stuff I think. Easy to check when you hover over it. Bacon give you, i think, 15% xp bonus when consumed. Since boars are near where you have settled, you will have a nice access to those. The Terrenus is a new creature added to the game. Along with the Buffalo/Bison and the Moa, you can get their kids to follow you back to your base and then with the right unlocks you can tame them and eventually ride them as they grow up. Bison is your workhorse. Slow with lots of storage (Once you place a saddle or storage pack on it), the Moa have little storage, but is quick. The Terrenus is the one in between. All those creatures are vegetarian and need veggies or fruit, and water. Some items are only available in the new Prometheus map, when you look in the tech tree you see some of the unlock cards have a symbol on the upper left. Those are part of the DLC. Scorria, Clay, and Obsidian is only available on the Prometheus map. The update that was released today allow you to do missions for REN (Ingame currency), the missions are available from the Short range Radio you can craft, and give you a small REN reward as well as some useful items. Later you can use these RENs to buy stuff on the station workshop and have it shipped down to you on the planet. Need a unlock that is above the Short range radio in the tech tree. Once you hit level 10, I advice you to unlock the top left items first. The oxygen bladder, the water reservoir, the water skin and the oxite disolver. Combine these to make container that can hold oxygen and water. The reservoir fills up during rain storms, or you can drop ice in there. But it only work if there is a container in there. The ice you gathered can be smelted over the campfire, but need a container for the water, so not that useful until level 10. You can also unlock a freeze box to keep the food lasting longer. The salt is super useful. with the right unlock you can keep your food lasting 10x longer. 1 salt is needed per unit of food, works on raw, cooked or dried food. Even work on the food you give your pets (If you go that route). The salting station I think is in tier 1, so shouldn't be to difficult to get hold off. Spoiled food is useful to make fertilizer, but I do find that the crop planted grow quite fast as it is. Be mindful if you do go farming, that leaving the plant in the pot will keep it growing, but there is a debuff added. Harvesting the plant with a sickle increase your chance of getting another seed, so jank the harvested plant up, and replant from fresh to get rid of that buff. When mining, try and completely remove the node. You hear a slight different sound as it is removed, and you get a xp boost on the final whack. Can check the xp gained in the upper left corner. Last advice or tip is to check the unlock to expand your storage. Don't recall which talent tree it is in, but it is on the right side of the talents trees. 1st unlock grants you a few extra slots per [new] container you build, and the second will add even more. Think a total of 10 extra slots. Only work on storage built after you got the talent, not ready built ones.
Was looking at Icarus for a while and this made me itch too much so I got it. Now 4 of us are playing it after finishing a LONG run of Undead Legacy and we're having a blast. Bow and arrow sneak shots are so satisfying :D
Tem, you will like "Bone Arrows" - easy ressource to get and decent for a long time down the road :). Nice to see you in Icarus. The reason why i stopped in the middle of the mission tree is that you had to build youre base again and again. Fun a few times, but one tend to ignore everything past T3 if you even bother getting to 3, because the grind was extensive and the mission rather short (time spend building up not worth 90% of the time). Maybe you can reignite my will to play again. A lot have changed the last year.
Some pointers, every food has a certain perk to it, you can hold so many types of bonuses in your "belly" at a time. 4 I think it is. So if you're going into combat, pick 3 that give you the best health and stamina bonuses and eating just for hunger you can use up your less useful stuff.. until you start farming and just eat good all the time. The butcher/hunting table is a worthwhile upgrade as can carry your kills to the table and get a lot more resources and it doesn't use your knife durability. Also the oxygen balloons and tanks with the oxidizer is a great upgrade as it lets you use a lot less oxite. Most of your metals will be in the caves, beware of the cave worms. Flash Storms are my favorite part of the game, just be aware that fire does spread in this game and trees don't regrow so if a forest burns down, you will lose a lot of nearby trees and have to travel further to get your wood.
I got surprise when the wild horse broke your door. But then i remenber that the basic structure of the game. The security that ofers to us, is probably just piscological.
You can harvest as much stone and wood as you want, form pallets of them and stack them up and form walls of resources on demand that way. I would keep a mini warehouse stocked up with wood and stone pallets all the time.
Looks solid, if not a bit overwhelming possibly. The only thing that gets me is the immersion of landing on a planet and only having access to stone age equipment? Or maybe I do not know enough about the game. Like the next planet you have the gear you worked towards?
if you do the missions mode or even build the radio in open world and take on missions to get exotics, you can travel to your space station and trade the exotics for stuff more like you'd expect. You can get MUCH better suits with multiple slots (like food and water slots, multiple oxygen slots, etc.) You can get guns, better tools, etc. as well. Then any time you start a mission you can choose what you've bought to bring with you. I do agree with the sentiment somewhat as I feel it'd feel more immersive to start on the planet and build your ship to get off the planet and get better stuff.. or start with a crash landing scenario to explain the no tools despite traveling there. Overall it doesn't break the immersion much as you can make whatever backstory you want to explain it. Maybe it's a way to prove you're good enough to deserve those things by proving your worth first.
Thanks for playing this! I bought the game myself long time ago, but felt as though I wasted my money myself... Great video! Thanks :) The Oxylite thing needs a bladder which is what you will fill and equip (like a air tank). The T2 version of it is far better if I recall correctly as it has 4 slots for air bladders. Everything must have a roof to protect it from the storms, (stone is the best bet), or it will eventually be destroyed. Fire is a real hazard in this game due to frequent lightning storms...
once you get to concrete buildings, there is almost no storms that damage it, just wild animals and you can build baracades around your home to protect it. Fire is definitely an issue until you get to concrete but you can place lightning rods. Also falling trees can be an issue and it's wise, just like in real life, to cut the trees immediately close to your home to avoid that. The oxidizer he built in this episode doesn't use the bladder, you just put the oxite in it and come over to it when your oxygen gets low to fill up. The next tier has the bladder and is the far better option since you can put the bladder in your suit and have oxygen for a long time.
Also, talking about floating bases, towards the end. All pieces have to be supported, much like 7d2d every material type has a limit to support. a 2x3 is small, but there are a LOT of workstations in this game so your final base will probably be a 10x10 or bigger and at that size, you need proper supports or your roof will cave in. Also flash storms will damage wood. Concrete is one of the best mediums as metal bases are dangerous in their own ways but very poor at insulation so almost unusable in hot or cold biomes. Until you can build concrete bases, I'd recommend a lightning rod or 2 to save your base from the inevitable lightning strike. Also drinking water directly from the lake is what gave you dysentery. It's not that bad of a debuff but if you want to avoid it, you can make a rain reservoir.
For the oxidizer, it is more efficient at making o2 then putting the rocks in your inventor, but it has the down side of slowly leaking unless they have changed that from when I last played.
I'm so glad you're taking a crack at Icarus now that they've released their largest update. For anyone who doesn't know, the devs release an update EVERY week since it was released.
@4:57 I feel like it cant just be me. But right here when you say "bestiary", something about the way you say it trips my phone and thinks its hearing "hey siri". lol
Oh! I should fire this up again myself! It's been a while, but you used to be able to hydrate just by being underwater. Just float there and you'll see the meter go up.
You can pull down building parts by looking at them and pressing 'Y'. You'll get all the parts back in your inventory. Handy if you misplace a wall etc.
So glad you're doing a series on Icarus 👍
I came to the comments so quick to say this as well. nothing frustrated me more in the early game than tearing down the walls I accidentally placed haha

Icarus is far, far superior to Sons of the Forest.

So refreshing to see you start anew, I’d forgotten everything about the game too, so fun to learn along with you
Man, your edits are fantastic. Always a pleasure to watch, regardless of the game.

ya and as soon as Hypatia drops it will be epic.

Some items are only available in the new Prometheus map, when you look in the tech tree you see some of the unlock cards have a symbol on the upper left. Those are part of the DLC. Scorria, Clay, and Obsidian is only available on the Prometheus map.
The update that was released today allow you to do missions for REN (Ingame currency), the missions are available from the Short range Radio you can craft, and give you a small REN reward as well as some useful items. Later you can use these RENs to buy stuff on the station workshop and have it shipped down to you on the planet. Need a unlock that is above the Short range radio in the tech tree.
Once you hit level 10, I advice you to unlock the top left items first. The oxygen bladder, the water reservoir, the water skin and the oxite disolver. Combine these to make container that can hold oxygen and water. The reservoir fills up during rain storms, or you can drop ice in there. But it only work if there is a container in there. The ice you gathered can be smelted over the campfire, but need a container for the water, so not that useful until level 10. You can also unlock a freeze box to keep the food lasting longer.
The salt is super useful. with the right unlock you can keep your food lasting 10x longer. 1 salt is needed per unit of food, works on raw, cooked or dried food. Even work on the food you give your pets (If you go that route). The salting station I think is in tier 1, so shouldn't be to difficult to get hold off.
Spoiled food is useful to make fertilizer, but I do find that the crop planted grow quite fast as it is. Be mindful if you do go farming, that leaving the plant in the pot will keep it growing, but there is a debuff added. Harvesting the plant with a sickle increase your chance of getting another seed, so jank the harvested plant up, and replant from fresh to get rid of that buff.
When mining, try and completely remove the node. You hear a slight different sound as it is removed, and you get a xp boost on the final whack. Can check the xp gained in the upper left corner.
Last advice or tip is to check the unlock to expand your storage. Don't recall which talent tree it is in, but it is on the right side of the talents trees. 1st unlock grants you a few extra slots per [new] container you build, and the second will add even more. Think a total of 10 extra slots. Only work on storage built after you got the talent, not ready built ones.
The Oxidizer transforms the oxi-ore more efficiently - you put in 10 and refill by clicking on it, so youre tanks in youre suit fill up directly.
I love this guys editing!
Really like the audio change for your VO when you go underwater 👍🏻
This looks like it could be a potentially amazing series. I'm loving how it looks and plays.
Was looking at Icarus for a while and this made me itch too much so I got it. Now 4 of us are playing it after finishing a LONG run of Undead Legacy and we're having a blast. Bow and arrow sneak shots are so satisfying :D
Eagerly waiting for the next episode!
Please keep going with this. I've nvr played Icarus but it looks amazing.
I really enjoyed this episode! hope to see more of this in the future
Tem, you will like "Bone Arrows" - easy ressource to get and decent for a long time down the road :).
Nice to see you in Icarus. The reason why i stopped in the middle of the mission tree is that you had to build youre base again and again. Fun a few times, but one tend to ignore everything past T3 if you even bother getting to 3, because the grind was extensive and the mission rather short (time spend building up not worth 90% of the time).
Maybe you can reignite my will to play again. A lot have changed the last year.
This game has too much fun content, please make more long videos of this. Appreciate the editting👍🏻
Some pointers, every food has a certain perk to it, you can hold so many types of bonuses in your "belly" at a time. 4 I think it is. So if you're going into combat, pick 3 that give you the best health and stamina bonuses and eating just for hunger you can use up your less useful stuff.. until you start farming and just eat good all the time. The butcher/hunting table is a worthwhile upgrade as can carry your kills to the table and get a lot more resources and it doesn't use your knife durability. Also the oxygen balloons and tanks with the oxidizer is a great upgrade as it lets you use a lot less oxite. Most of your metals will be in the caves, beware of the cave worms. Flash Storms are my favorite part of the game, just be aware that fire does spread in this game and trees don't regrow so if a forest burns down, you will lose a lot of nearby trees and have to travel further to get your wood.
This is my new favorite serie !
I got surprise when the wild horse broke your door.
But then i remenber that the basic structure of the game.
The security that ofers to us, is probably just piscological.
I didnt think i would be interested in this game but i really like it. cannot wait for next episode
I don't know if I've ever commented before, but if this is my first - it's worth it.
KEEP PLAYING ICARUS PLEASE. ❤❤❤
Don't forget to put window covers on your home. Your interior items get damaged if you have open windows during storms! Good start!!
I've had this on my wish list for a while. I'll continue watching this series and see if I want to pick it up!
You can harvest as much stone and wood as you want, form pallets of them and stack them up and form walls of resources on demand that way. I would keep a mini warehouse stocked up with wood and stone pallets all the time.
Looks solid, if not a bit overwhelming possibly. The only thing that gets me is the immersion of landing on a planet and only having access to stone age equipment? Or maybe I do not know enough about the game. Like the next planet you have the gear you worked towards?
if you do the missions mode or even build the radio in open world and take on missions to get exotics, you can travel to your space station and trade the exotics for stuff more like you'd expect. You can get MUCH better suits with multiple slots (like food and water slots, multiple oxygen slots, etc.) You can get guns, better tools, etc. as well. Then any time you start a mission you can choose what you've bought to bring with you. I do agree with the sentiment somewhat as I feel it'd feel more immersive to start on the planet and build your ship to get off the planet and get better stuff.. or start with a crash landing scenario to explain the no tools despite traveling there. Overall it doesn't break the immersion much as you can make whatever backstory you want to explain it. Maybe it's a way to prove you're good enough to deserve those things by proving your worth first.
Oh very cool! Another awesome game.
Good to see you playing this too :D
Thanks for playing this! I bought the game myself long time ago, but felt as though I wasted my money myself... Great video! Thanks :)
The Oxylite thing needs a bladder which is what you will fill and equip (like a air tank). The T2 version of it is far better if I recall correctly as it has 4 slots for air bladders.
Everything must have a roof to protect it from the storms, (stone is the best bet), or it will eventually be destroyed. Fire is a real hazard in this game due to frequent lightning storms...
once you get to concrete buildings, there is almost no storms that damage it, just wild animals and you can build baracades around your home to protect it. Fire is definitely an issue until you get to concrete but you can place lightning rods. Also falling trees can be an issue and it's wise, just like in real life, to cut the trees immediately close to your home to avoid that. The oxidizer he built in this episode doesn't use the bladder, you just put the oxite in it and come over to it when your oxygen gets low to fill up. The next tier has the bladder and is the far better option since you can put the bladder in your suit and have oxygen for a long time.
Also, talking about floating bases, towards the end. All pieces have to be supported, much like 7d2d every material type has a limit to support. a 2x3 is small, but there are a LOT of workstations in this game so your final base will probably be a 10x10 or bigger and at that size, you need proper supports or your roof will cave in. Also flash storms will damage wood. Concrete is one of the best mediums as metal bases are dangerous in their own ways but very poor at insulation so almost unusable in hot or cold biomes. Until you can build concrete bases, I'd recommend a lightning rod or 2 to save your base from the inevitable lightning strike. Also drinking water directly from the lake is what gave you dysentery. It's not that bad of a debuff but if you want to avoid it, you can make a rain reservoir.
For the oxidizer, it is more efficient at making o2 then putting the rocks in your inventor, but it has the down side of slowly leaking unless they have changed that from when I last played.
Short answer is yes, if you like survival craft games. Even better with friends. And they are always updating
any game is better with friends , if u need friends to have fun the game is shit
I'm so glad you're taking a crack at Icarus now that they've released their largest update. For anyone who doesn't know, the devs release an update EVERY week since it was released.
There was a perfectly timed ad when he jumped in the water
you can make a wooden shutter for your windows to protect what's inside you base like storages
Great editing !
Enjoyed watching this! Keen for some more Icarus footage :-)
@4:57 I feel like it cant just be me. But right here when you say "bestiary", something about the way you say it trips my phone and thinks its hearing "hey siri". lol
Thank you for all your hard work. keep it up
damn editing level is 10 out 10
I recommend having a veteran player join in with you to help you along the way. I’m enjoying open world with operations on new DLC.
This is going to be a fun series I think!
Oh! I should fire this up again myself!
It's been a while, but you used to be able to hydrate just by being underwater. Just float there and you'll see the meter go up.
