Here's tips for people. 1) you can harvest bears with stone knife, 2) don't bother hunting buffalo until you have a iron knife, 3) levels don't mean anything other than the exp you gain, 4) sneak shot wolves to get most efficient use out of your bow, 5) don't bother getting the first oxidizer it's a waste, 6) if being attacked by a bare jump into the water or run diagonal as it attack (some call it kiting), 7) place the torce in your light slot it free up your hands while still providing light, 8) I have more tips but for now that should be good
just run at the bear, straight at it. don't hesitate. it will miss its attack animation, and you can get some distance and be able to turn around and get a headshot off before its close again (rinse and repeat)
harvest the bear
What a cursed sentence
Mostly agree except for #3 - Your level determines how many talent points you have available to 'focus' your character. It also determines how many blueprint points available. Without blueprint points (and in some cases, high enough level) you will suffer and most likely die. Without a knife, bow, arrows and camp fire it is highly unlikely you will ever make it to Tier 2...
@@itsmeagain1745 i think he may have meant that the levels really dont matter when fighting the wildlife
@@TwistedIrish69 Very true - just need to know how, and where the critical hit areas are. It's also useful to know the various 'aids' - poles for Polar bears for example. The bear dance.
Finally! I hated building a huge, complex home base only to have to fly away and do it ALL OVER AGAIN.
I'm literally getting anxious watching you build this huge wooden structure knowing the pain that's on its way for you.
@revale07 what is the pain that is on his way?! I have never seen this game until this episode, so I have no clue haha!
Severe winds for one, those can rip through wood like crazy.
@@MistaD78 what is the optimal building material for early game? Should you just avoid wood altogether even at the start?
I havent played this but this open world update is making me consider finally trying it
@@ownzies100 wood is a good starter building material, stay away from thatch, it is simple to make but extremely susceptible to weather, wood is less so and it’ll save you 5 points, by level 3 possibly 4, if you spend on personal defence like knife bow and arrow and a sleeping bag, you should have floors, walls, pillars and a door. Uses the same base materials as thatch with the addition of cutting down trees for wood when you get an axe made.
@@MistaD78 thanks big guy lov u
If you make a torch and put it in the "L" slot on the left of your action bar. You can use a torch with other tools at the same time, instead of having to constantly switch back and forth. And then once you put one a torch in that slot use "L" again to turn the torch on and off.
Love watching you play this game. I'm glad you don't have to restart each mission. It will definitely be a more entertaining series! Looking forward to the next 30 episodes!
.Small list for ya Z1 - *Levels don't mean as much as you might think. *Stealth head shotting boars & wolves way higher than your own level is very much possible. *Which leads me to "Stealth kills" for bonus damage. * Stand on tall rocks so you can kill things like the crocs without them reaching you . Crafting & Skinning benches ASAP - better bow + bone arrows will help alot and skinning table nets you more meat, fur, leather etc than just skinning on the spot.
ROFTL.... "I got a bear...." Near a lake full of crocodiles...
Been playing this for so long, getting used to all te updates, it's really funny seeing someone restart to play it. Please keep doing it.
Make a b-line for the skinning table to get more meat, leather, and furs. And thanks for coming back to icuras
Nah, skinning bench is worthless. Once you have a bedroll, you hardly need fur anymore.
Use the resources for a crafting bench and a longbow, that's way more useful!
@Corné van den Bosch I disagree, I always use the skinning bench, that with the perks for skinning as well.
@@SuperNoodles1982 In every single mission I end up drowning in leather, fur and meat; and at some point even in bones. Hence I never go for the skinning bench. For me, it isn't worth the resources needed to build...
@Corné van den Bosch that's fair enough, but early gane you need a lot of the mats, especially with crafting clothes and beds etc.. After that, when you kill an animal just take the meat, leaving the other materials on the carcass and they will disappear 😉 that way you don't have to store it
@@GenieonWork It is crucial in time saving. The skinning bench is the second bench always build (need the crafting bench to craft it). The recources needed are trivial (funnily enogh the leather is by far the most anoying to come by).
You need it only for a couple of minutes, but the yields from everything other than bones are huge to get the base started. Even skinning a freaking rabit gives you 20 Leather and guaranteed soft meet (knife only has a 10% chance to get any soft meat) to get your food buffs going. You can't get any leather via knife. So even building it, skinning a single rabit and destroing the bench is already beneficial, since you get half your materials back.
Two Chamois and you have enogh fur (2x 10) for a bedroll. With a knife you get 50% chance of 0 fur and 50% to get 1 or 2. Especially in a group it takes forever to get enogh bedrolls for an entire group.
So you usualy just need it to skin a handfull of 5 animals, but that saves you a lot of time hunting. Then you can break it and even get half your stuff back.
Z1 love the videos and content, they are super helpful with information. I have played Icarus since day one and love this game and have almost 150 hours of gameplay but on Black Friday steam sale I got Satisfactory and I have over 200hrs now so I am really liking the gameplay. I have been watching all of your first videos of satisfactory and it’s awesome to see how the game has changed.
Satisfactory is such an amazing game. I really like TotalXclipse's satisfactory videos, tons of super good informational vids. RoboKast has some really good ones too, If I'm not mixing things up he has done some great videos on compact factory challenges that I have taken inspiration from for very compact, efficient and good looking factory building setups.
TotalXclipse, Z1 and StudleyKansas all have videos on logistics of Main Bus designs if you havent experimented with that yet. If I remember correctly, I liked the way Studley explained the theory and implementation the most. Bus makes everything seem really neat and organized, I'm very proud of my bus system in my main world. I recently stopped playing though, got burnt out.
I hope this is going to be an extremely long series
Fr
Yeessss
doubt it when hes starting at level 16
@@darthsirius8578I don't know just takes 1 or two missions to get to level 20 or so. Allot more content after it.
best is to build your base attached to the side of a cliff as then no animals can get to you. Use the beams to provide support underneath. angle them to attach to the rock face. Use ramps to get up and down. When the storms approach and you are away from your base find a large rock then crouch and use your pick to hack your way inside. this will then give you protection agianst the storm
I havent played this, can you mine into cliff faces? Or just into rocks? When you say angled beams, do you mean you can place beams at 45 degrees? Is this as structurally sound ingame as vertical beams? Is structural integrity even a mechanic other than simple HP?
Seems pretty neat. I was hyped for this game at release solely because Dean Hall and the amazing experiences ArmA 2 DayZ mod provided back in the day, but I didnt think I'd like the mission gameplay loop and dismissed it. Now that there is open world I'm considering trying it out!
Thanks
@Justin Durrant no you can't mine into cliff faces.. when you go to place the beams if you press r you will see the different options. I usually build a vertical beam down then attach a horizontal beam from the cliff face to that beam ..keep repeating till you have a frame work supporting the base. Yes structural integrity is a thing and pieces will break if not supported properly. The open world is fine for solo play but if you are in a group the person who started the game has to be hosting it for any of the others to be able to play. Before you could host the mission yourself and carry on if the original person wasn't on.
I just wanna say I appreciate you for using a capture card that does 1440p60. Most gaming channels just use 1080p60, maybe 1440p30, but you go beyond and I appreciate that, being that I use a 1440p screen 99% of the time I'm on youtube lol
Put your torch in the L slot (left most slot), so you can use your hands and still have light.
Also, don't forget to use a bandage for your wound!
Great episode, I look forward to many more. Glad they added the "open world" aspect to this game.
One of the coolest things the added was the special slot just fot a torch or light super handy
The noise of the fibre/ bush pulling does something nice to my soul
There have been a ton of updates Z! First of all on your hotbar there is now a light slot, very handy at night as it gives you light and allow you to wield weapons 👍🏻
It takes 15-20 minutes to build a mini base with all the needs, freaking love the missions loop, some ppl can't just understand it
I was thinking about this game a few weeks ago, so glad to see it's not only back but they added the map where you won't lose your base. Hope to see a long-ish playthrough of this series
When hunting game if you crouch you can get a lot closer to them they won't hear you as well.
Hope this helps buddy Keep pushing on You're doing all right 👍👍
Another game where you survive because glitches and things that get stuck...
Well played and nice vid. Above is not your fault.
Will definitely be checking out this update, like personally I didn't mind the gameplay loop with going up and down to much though, I enjoyed that sort of progression, and rebuilding each time allowed for trying new things easier, and as you progressed and lvled up, this became faster each time as well so.
But looking forward to this too! The game is really great imo, its a pretty good survival game.
Always go for those stealth headshots. Found head shots with spear to the crocs is best way to kill them or you can also just out run them. There’s a cave in the lake you could build in without actually being in a cave. Also caves behind waterfalls. Building on a side of a cliff is a good idea as well. Might change my location now.
What do you mean "without actually being in a cave"? I havent played yet, is there downsides to being inside a cave? Do you swim into the cave?
@@ownzies100 the one in the lake is underwater. You do have to swim to it. Caves will give you pneumonia unless you use a dehumidifier to lessen the effects. There are certain caves that as long as you don’t go too far into them you will still be protected from outside but you won’t get the pneumonia. On the original map there is actually one that has a lot of ore and doesn’t act like a cave at all and there are no worms.
The Y key i believe is used to deconstruct building pieces
Thousands of Crocodiles agreeing with you. "You should first build close to the river" SAFEST PLACE..
Yesss, great croc god keep send more meat, will grow strong, have many babies to sacrifice to great croc god.
Had they made this game open world from the start, it would have done waaay better then it did
I found a funny way to farm animals. I built a bridge over a river just for fun, turned out all the animals wanted to use it. but they had some trouble getting up on it since i did not use a ramp. at times there was 5-6 deers stacked up jumping to get on the bridge, they do eventually and run across but it gives a good spot to spend some down time at :D
Just an FYI cause im sure you found out by now, but if you crouch you get a bonus multiplier for sneak damage. Also you can kinda zoom in and aim properly with the bow
Will this be an ongoing series or are you just checking out the new updates and changes since last time? A series would be greatly entertaining!
Love that you're doing this series again
z1 you have become the bane of my credit card's existence, every time you recommend a game, like ICARUS aka survival base building games. so from me thankyou but from my credit card *insert explative here* LOL.
I don't get how the weather can effect you when you're wearing a space suit lol.
Same way that drinking water in your space suit doesn’t filter the water and still allows you to get dysentery.
beware of Bears!
Icarus is really fun in Multiplayer so consider rounding up the crew.
that bear's body should still be on the lake bed to recover.
I actually have this game, as I bought it after your first few videos on it. Sadly, the steep system requirements don't allow me to play it, so when I get around to upgrading, I'll be giving this a go as it looks quite fun.
Also, watching you fight the alligators is why in a new game, I choose easy difficulty. I'm playing the game to relax, not helicopter my e-peen.
Baby buffalo and moa (looks like an ostrich) can be trained. The adult needs to be killed first. It would be worth watching a couple of videos about it first to understand training/riding mounts.
Omg I was just saying this specific morning I wish if Z plays ICARUS again and there u have it my wish have been granted I'm so happy and thankful 🤗💙
Ps: it's like you where in my head LOL😂☺
You can often outrun rabbits. Keep the door shut - if items need shelter and they don't have it they may despawn. They WILL despawn if you have a 'weather event'.
Stone is an excellent building material but you need to get into Tier 2 as you need iron nails (Anvil + iron ingots). I don't know when you gave up so what experience you have. Don't forget to harvest the bones when skinning!
if u go back in the pod to go to the station you can go to the workstation and get a better suit esp if u preordered the game or have enough stuff and get a suit with water and food slot and load it with water or food to automatically have food or water given to you
if you mine into the side of a big enough boulder than you can be in shelter as long as it's deep enough as long as thats still a mechanic
This new open world option may just get me to buy the game. I HATE "restarting" in games. So that loop play sounded so tedious. Thank you for the video!
You know you don't have to drink the water. You just swim in the water an the water meter goes up.
also if you put cross beams along with your four pillars it will greatly increase the structural stability
I love this game! Great to see you playing it again
I bought this game and hated the resetting every mission. This is definetly making me want to play again.
Y do u need o2 to breathe? From it looks like u don’t need it cuz of the trees and the wild life is almost exactly like the ones on earth
lol...Funny this is the game that I first subscribed to your channel way back in the Beta weekends. First, the Gators are more vicious than bears, (and harder to kill) so can the Komotos. You should watch some vids so you can learn what you don't know (there is a lot since you last played including a store where you can buy better gear/armor/suits/weapons at the character screen before you come down to the planet). Hope you come back to the game, it's really a fun and challenging game. use the "control button" when your aiming to put yourself into "stealth mode" which will make your shots twice as powerful.(even with the stone arrows, a head shot will kill wolves). Also put your torch in the slot just left of slot 1 on your action bar and you won't have to hold it. Cheers!
this game looks so fun can you please play more
36:30 do the diagonal pillars add extra strength to your foundation, or is it just for looks??
Also, if you havent noticed from the previous comments, your missing out on massive damage by not crouching (sneak dmg bonus).
Imagine z1 hunting irl he has no patience like he could have easily taken care of the deer without giving up multiple times
this and star citizen and escape from tarkov is my currently most played games XD
> "I want windows everywhere so that I can see everything"
> Crocodile plays reverse uno card.
Hope you keep going with this series
You can disassemble just click Y . Too see healt you must unlock it in skill tree ;p. Animals can destroy base in water too so florrs will smach;p i skipp part of video so best way is to build alot of traps and contrete walls. headshoot save you make fast rifle.:)
Love the honesty about your view on the game. The good and bad 😇
Bought it a couple of days ago, nice game so far ... Bear is not that bad, you can "kite" it or use that javlin throw equipment (don't remember what it was called), I usually have like 15 at me all the time hehe, stand on a rock and kill aligators and those lizzards .. if rock is high enough also wolfs and maybe even bear.
If animals need to drink, it feels like building by the water ensures a constant influx of animals.
Both passive and hostile.
Might not be a good idea to build your base on the watering hole.
I'm loving this! Except, you gotta stop shooting at those deer unless you can get some sort of stealth bonus or a definite head shot. They seem to be a waste of resources. I've never played this game, so I'm not sure, but it's sad to see your arrows run away. Congratuations on getting that wolf and the crocodiles! They were tough!
Thanks for the video. I may get back into the game now. I'm curious about resources though... Hopefully they respawn and not finite.
This game looks like Satisfactory, just without the mining and factory construction.
does open world actually increase replayability? or is the map small? i never bought it due to its past reviews.
yesss lets go! more icarus gameplay
I can't remember - do you have to play in 1st person? or can you switch to 3rd person?
Just wanted to know.. is the game still bugged or still has the insane performance issues? wanted to test it out at some point, but i am annoyed of all the frame issues in all the newer games today
press Y to pickup pieces of your base, they sound like they break but you get a copy of it in inventory
You introduced me to this game back in the beta i believe. THIS is a different game. Carefull in the water crocs are a female dog. If you made the game on easy mode you wont find a lot of wolves.
Ah nice! The constant base rebuilding is why I quickly stopped playing in the first place. Gonna have to check it out again, thanks!
does this game have anything like 7 days where your base area is attacked periodically? I love 7 days for that one thing and keep looking for other games that might have something similar.
Holster that torch, Z1! haha
Yesss !! You know what I discovered you could do this after like 35+ hours in-game......changed my life....... XD
One of the nicest QoL improvements they have done IMO
if you look at a piece of base structure and hit Y that will dismantle it so you can use it somewhere else
At 8:07 into video he goes agh there's elves everywhere as a new bird flies right in front of him it looked like a parrot
AWESOME NEWS ..thanks!.. no longer a session game..thank you!
Watched you play last time and rule one was do not play with bears but now I think do not play with alligators!
Hit the bone when you have finisged skinning with the knife and you get more bones.
May need to go for the heart with the deer. Warthog was a 1 shot, heart shot
I stopped playing this game because i did not want to keep starting over, might be time to give it another try
Put the torch on the "L" slot of you tools bar (the most left one), press 'L' to light it
Well thats why you dont want build near the lakes. Aligators are very hard to kill. Bear is ok, slow in the water, big head to hit, but aligators are not so easy.
22:00 Would it have been better to build you 'start' hut off to the side of where you wanted your main base?
Is this the basic edition or the more expensive one?
Thank God. That redoing your base thing each time was my main drawback to why I didn't buy it.
As you posted this I’m about to jump back on and try it
10:09 perfect scream cut
Don't forget too take the Bones !
omw bro, 11 talent points, it could have given you the extra skinning perks etc
put the torch in the L slot on your hot bar then it is activated with the L key as a toggle leaving your hands free to use a knife or bow
The "Y" key allows you too delete material, and get you mat's back.
This game reminds me of Osiris: New Dawn and Satisfactory game combo.
The only thing I still complain about it renewable ores and creature spawns away from the host.
Ores and resource don't respawn in open world anymore or missions only in outposts. But open world you can go across whole map and every cave if you want and can survive the challenge, World bosses do respawn and animals in open world. and can only mine exotics in missions. (I not got to point of running a mission from open world to see if it just adds that to open world map or takes you to mission map yet.) so not sure about respawns after missions on/in open world or not.
@@KiwiNotPG7873 yep I know about stuff not respawning that’s why it’ll be a complain for me. The missions in open world are just around the map you don’t actually go anywhere. I like the idea of setting up deep mins that don’t deplete which would make respawns irrelevant.
@@ReaperQueenOfChaos Yeah finding and making small out posts near each mine node and having to do caravan travel between for more crafting could be fun with multiple players.
also id recommend having someone join you so u can have them teach you and remember the game since u can skin that bear since u have a skinning knife
I can't get over having to resort to stone age crafting when you land in a space age pod. There is a million more ways to make tools than with stone.
3:17 "Why are you runnin'?"
uhhhhhh interesting news!!!! keep going !
how big is the map compared to conan exiles map the big one?
I had to break away from Icarus for a long time because bears kept camping my body and detecting me from way too far, and yeah the rebuilding point was annoying too. I should update once I'm home from work.
@z1gaming you need to use your light slot!
Now there is a reason to reinstall Icarus and try playing again. Thx for the update.
This is absolutely huge! I will be jumping back in because of this.
There was always an endless mode for each of the biomes
More please! Any way to post process the dark area or night periods. Nearly impossible to see anything.
Or he can use/put torch in his base
finaly!! when i got this game i thought it was guna be awesome and then after about 4 hours of playing i learnd any hard work i do will get wiped after the time was up for the mission. idk why anyone would want to play a game like that.. after a year they finaly put in a proper game mode
