10 Icarus Tips You Should Know and Tricks to help you Survive! Icarus Survival Guide!

[@CH3Rx]

For the last one, instead of deleting your character, click “remove from prospect”. It’ll just abandon the quest and you don’t have to delete your character

[@cforchex]

to be fair many prospects give you around a week to complete it. Yes we all have real lives in the real world and can sometimes realistically play about 10 dedicated, uninterrupted hours a week but thats still more than enough time to finish a prospect, just gotta keep dodging those bears :p

[@darknessdown]

The new update is now Game based time, time spent in game, not in real life! A great update but they are decreasing the mission timers to reflect not having to sleep and work.

[@nickwaffles6759]

If a mission timer goes down while u are offline when it says to delete the character you can just remove from prospect and you get your character back just none of the rewards u earned in the prospect

[@d4fiant90]

7 was the largest for me as I was getting burned out by spending 8 hours prepping for a 15 min run 🤣

[@mikealbizu6742]

CTRL+Shift thanks is saving me a lot of time 👍👍👍

[@ITNW]

I actually didn't know some of these. Thanks for these tips! It was a nice and chill video to watch :)

[@TheBlackVerZ]

the mission timer indicates that when it hits 00.00.00, there will be dangerous climate that will wipe everything off the planet, making the reason why your character needed to be extracted before the timer runs out. if you watch their prequel short movies, it's explains it. same reasoning apply to all building we made in the planet before extracting.

[@matt2244]

Yeah but how many people watch or give a turkey about that? my guess maybe 5% the rest like myself just want to play a game for a few hours and have some fun.

[@1techdave]

@@matt2244 actually to answer your question... everybody. Its the 1 mechanic that sets this game apart from ever other survival game... PVE AND PVT. You can launch without penalty or if you just want to play hit up an outpost. No time restrictions there

[@Nauda999]

getting wiped when timer runs out is somehow different from just dying and respawning on the space station and dropping back down?

[@cforchex]

@@Nauda999 yes. you loose all progress for that character, its the same as deleting your character and starting over

[@bjrnerikmol7737]

A better tip for the 5 stealth kill is just go to settings and turn off killcam 😅

[@nocturnal626]

smashed that like button literally. good tips.

[@SyntaxSeed]

Note for mid 2023, the mission timer only counts down when you're in the prospect. So if you go on a 2 week vacation before finishing a prospect... You're ok.

[@SirJonMan]

I like the harsh mechanic of the time and character lose. It makes your actions have much more value and the rewards worth it. If the mechanic was just to lose a little xp them this would be like a visually beautiful minecraft.

[@LoPimpy]

Nah #10 is what I love about the game, it's a new way of thinking, really like it don't mind starting over if I'll wipe that character

[@augustheat]

For the radar Issuing you can build a 1 square wood foundation with walls around it. Gives you a little extra time to kill things. Then just press y on them and move to the next one

[@zabbara4450]

Totally LOVE the didn't complete loss of character

[@jphilstudio4060]

Great Video!

[@WarMo05e5]

I have noticed when i play solo or with a friend and I am hosting. That the cave worms respawn after I leave the area and come back. sometimes even after 5 minutes of leaving the cave.

[@matt2244]

Agreed with the last one think that's a little much for someone like myself who has a life and can get called away at any point. It's a game it should be fun and a challenge.

[@danielguerrero7586]

also I personally think the penalty for not leaving before the timer runs out is “fair” I mean I like it a lot because there’s no other game like that you know? but idk that’s just my opinion. Awesome video btw!

[@cforchex]

to be fair many prospects give you around a week to complete it. agreed

[@joakimlauritsen5957]

the #8 tip is kinda missing a part. If you walk to far away from the cave, the worms respawn.

[@shadowdaffy9788]

Do you lose your character if any timer goes to 0 or just the mission you are currently on?

[@bluengray2587]

Your last suggestion. Wish I knew that lol lost my character 😂

[@sarcastic.2210]

thanks mate for this tips. i don't know why the game don't provide any mobility , it's really waste time to running all the map for a mission , to be honest, only the beginning was fun after that boring.

[@Lornda]

I got a potato gfx card so by default i turn shadows down or off in most games and for icarus caves are still pretty hecking dark =|

[@angelofrngesus8618]

your last tip is kinda out dated now, they updated the game so the timer doesn't run down unless you're playing that expedition so not playing the game doesn't run down your timers :D

[@GameAdvisors]

You are correct good sir.

[@pheniks0]

fun game, tho sometimes it does not make sense like, if you finish a quest and the next one requires you to go back to that area everything you build is gone... like how ? game is fun tho

[@gedisTT]

No 10 - the reason i stoped playing this game! Good game though! But shame its made imposible to play solo!

[@FakeSchrodingersCat]

Well when you think about it not extracting is an xp penalty of 100%

[@finlander9181]

loss all my game XP L25 but log in about five times got it all back L25.

[@shosstah]

this game is great. but being XP penalty every time you die seems a BIT much.

[@fatwap]

My shadows are really fuzzy. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[@warhammerchieftain9795]

Getting penalized for not logging into a game = bad mechanic! Losing everything for not logging into a game = worst mechanic ever!

[@cforchex]

yes

[@draconis_31]

It's because it's a hardcore survival game that's why I lose it char if u don't log back in and ur in a mission

[@danielguerrero7586]

thanks for the spoiler warning :)

[@seuu.]

the tip number 5 🤣 bro u know u can just deactivate the animation in settings ?

[@MrSocko-bh1jb]

Haha, the joke is on you! I already lost my first main char. (lvl.20) because I didn`t play for a week, so there! jk Well, I say jk, but my main really vaporized itself! The beacon I needed was destroyed by wolves, and I had no way of getting it back. That p*ssed me off so hard I quit for a week. When I locked back in, there were only his dogtags! (How did they get back up I wonder...) Oh, and everybody BE CAREFUL on ICESTORM EXPEDITION. Close to the 3rd thingy you will see a cave, it has an iron node or two, one copper and I think one Alu., you almost can`t miss it. What you also can`t is get back out of that icky lil` sh*thole, unless you have a ramp or ladder! (I had none, but thank F**k I had something to destroy for fibres and a bit of wood for my campfire, if that cave had ruined my mission, I would have been DONE with this game for good!)

[@gounter222]

The game is somewhat fun, but yea guess all players should notice how beta it feels after 2 hrs in game It`s like only half way made.

[@Sgt_gh0st]

I'm having a pretty hard time just to get fur for my bed, when i want it i just never find any wolf to skin xD Sofar most of the other animals have been hard to kill for me xD except maybe a rabbit here and there but they dont have a lot of fur xD Finally built a bed and thunder came when i was a bit away from my camp, the bed was inside but i guess it got destroyed since the floor was damaged? :S

[@markthebeat406]

How tf can you get even the 1st tip wrong ffs, berries do not add "MAX HP"

[@blastaq4267]

Nahh last one is good. Its not hard to be on time!

[@simon.yourfavorite]

Oh, caves are actually dark? -shit pc

[@matthewreynolds2531]

1 Game is not finished 2. Don buy it

[@harbinger707]

Ur right

[@solotango5576]

Who is Don? I have 20 hours so far and am loving it. Maybe you should get good.

[@ColdEyesProductions]

@@solotango5576 I love the game too but he is right. Feels like early access

[@d4fiant90]

It is hard to argue that it is a full release when 1/4 of teir 4 is "coming soon"

[@matthewreynolds2531]

@@solotango5576 dude, we are finish paying for games that are half finished... look at the reviews....

[@Pow3rGaming]

If there is no extreme (i.e. perma-death) consequence for ignoring the mission timer or for truly sucking at the game and missing the deadline for the mission and if there's no realistic darkness in a cave because you turned your monitor settings this or that way to see you are cheating or wasting time at a game accomplishing nothing that's impressive. How about relishing the challenge as the devs intended? Caves should be dark. If you make them not dark - it is OBJECTIVELY cheating and you're lame for doing it... yeah, I know - play how you want but cheaters should be bullied, shamed and bullied some more as they perpetuate this bizarre casual acceptance of cheating which poisons society. You're lame for wanting to and sharing how to cheat. Cheaters are lame. You're lame. Sorry Brother. You're dad should have taught you this when you were growing up. Good luck.
