ICARUS IN 2024 - Base Desire - Veteran Fresh Start Gameplay [12]

[@Infinity.Gaming2023]

Thank you for the Shoutout! you're amazing!

[@dannyrothko]

Thanks for the great guides!

[@bornhesh]

Base looks killer. Garden on the roof is a great idea.

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you! I'm glad with how it turned out. I also like the idea of a roof garden, need to do some more thinking.

[@Muse1point0]

Agreed. Base looks great but imagine building out over the water, and putting a full glass wall facing the waterfall!! Would be so sick!

[@vPeteWalker]

haha Dude, I love how you make this palace and go to sleep on this broken down bed. I'm sure that's coming but keep telling yourself... "I deserve better!" :) Keep up the excellent work man, the barn and the base look fantastic! Thanks for the vid!

[@dannyrothko]

Haha very true.I will definitely be upgrading it though in the future episodes!　I hope you enjoy the series.

[@RageGamerRyan13]

Wow, your channel is blowing up! I remember KZbin recommended your first video in the series and you only had like 200-300 subs now you're at 1.5K+ I don't plan on buying this game but I enjoy watching people like yourself play and enjoy it as if I were playing

[@dannyrothko]

It's growing way faster than I thought! Thank you for sticking with the series, even if you can't play it hopefully it's fun to watch.

[@derrick_plays]

great episode. 1 quick tip for reinforcing your interior wood that's on the facade and takes damage from storms: you can use beeswax to upgrade the wood structures (just like upgrading glass to reinforced glass) to make them equally durable to stone tier building pieces. i'm not sure in what workbench you do that, but there's a tech tree point for that. gg!

[@dannyrothko]

I haven't tried that yet, but I wasn't sure there was an interior wood version of it. If it is just the regular log style, it's very useful but not sure if it would look as good.

[@sirnukealot84]

I think it can be done in the carpentry benches. Might need a tech unlock point for it.

[@seanhunter111]

Love the barn build. Looks really great. Also really love the cieling of the octagonal room. Looks fantastic.

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you so much!

[@saunba6007]

New Base looks super nice and you kinda made my day. If i were to nitpick i would suggest putting a little more separation in between the workshop and the living area, like maybe some halfwalls and pillars so u keep the open feel your base has but still have more visible separation between working/hazardious area and relax/living area like kitchen/sleeping area. Also, while the solar panels on the highest point might be more efficient, i would suggest swapping the placements of them and the contact device for more easier upgradability of your solar array, if u don't plan to add them to the power plant later on (if that's the plan just ignore that suggestion). for the garden another idea would be to combine the greenhouse next to the barn idea and the open garden idea into just expanding the barns foundation placing an open garden on it. the part with that one floor tile was killing me. xD maybe add a trapdoor to get to the crawl space without removing the floors everytime, it seemed like you were able to crouch down there just fine, so it might work and reduce your workload when adding new to the base.

[@dannyrothko]

Glad you like it! Yeah I still need to figure out how I want to decorate / separate the interior but I do like the open / connected type design. I am going to build a power station so I will have all the electricity stuff over there.

[@jakemaynard9445]

hey danny jake here thank you soo much for your hard word and awesome content your the who inspired me to play icarus and love every bit of it keep up the fantastic work mate well done

[@dannyrothko]

Thanks Jake! Glad you decided to give the game a shot, it's a ton of fun.

[@seven_sixtwo]

Loving this series so far, I think I subbed on like the second or third video, but on the first one, I knew you were the style of creator I was looking for. The barn looks really good, that's a really creative roof design that my little min/max monkey brain would not have thought of. Speaking of which, I wonder if it's worth it, when you're trying to freeform place things to line up with other things, to bind some of the block movement keys on like an xbox controller's triggers, so you'd have that rather than the binary nature of keyboard keys lol. looking forward to the rest of the series and getting up to date with it, thanks for the content!

[@dannyrothko]

Thanks so much for watching! I usually go for function over form but decided to take my time and build some more interesting things for the series.

[@cplhobs6045]

Haven’t played this game since its release and your series has gotten me back into the game. Great job on the videos and I’m loving the series, can’t wait to see more.

[@dannyrothko]

That's great to hear! I hope you have a fun time diving back into Icarus

[@Astorath_the_Grim]

Thanks for adding the numbers man.

[@dannyrothko]

Sure thing!

[@Michael-gh8ss]

Another absolutely stellar video adventure. I love the Infinity Gaming video series but I've never quite conjured up the patience for all the steps to make those creations. I guess I'll have to give them a try. Great job!

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you for watching! It's definitely satisfying once you get the structure down, give it a try!

[@davidlacroix8596]

Love the commentary, can't wait for more icarus content. You just got yourself a new sub. Keep it up😊

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you so much for subscribing! Hope you enjoy the series, much more to come.

[@simmerin2529]

Love the vid and the build! I support both garden ideas, a rooftop garden is always nice but even an add-on to the barn or a stand alone garden in between the two with a concrete foundation and half glass walls would be nice! Can't wait to see the decorations in your living quarters, there's some nice furniture and decor in Icarus that would suit this build!

[@dannyrothko]

THank you! I'm excited to get to work on the garden project soon.

[@mofish3601]

I love it! Currently struggling a bit with First Cohorts circular build but I’m going to this method next time! Don’t know how I missed that video from Infinity, will have to go find it!

[@dannyrothko]

It's a great guide, definitely check it out!

[@Maniuto1981]

I love your barn desing. please keep going. Ill use this desing in my own open world for sure. Thanks.

[@Dyanosis]

Design* How do you spell it wrong twice in a row? Use autocorrect/spellcheck. It's there to help.

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you! Hope you enjoy the design in your own world as well

[@RepentOrPerish.]

the build is dope love the series keep going!!!!

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you!

[@CorackWookie]

Octogen roof looks awesome the way you did it!!!

[@dannyrothko]

I'm super happy with it!

[@ggames4707]

Awesome building!! Loving the series, liked and sub, keep it up! Kind regards from Brazil

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you for subscribing! There's much more to come

[@lacombesean4467]

utterly awesome looking base, stealing some idea, i need a good looking barn...thanks for inspiration dude...going back to building on my base

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you! Glad you like some of the ideas enough to use them yourself!

[@Infinity.Gaming2023]

miasmic pickaxe is the reason i dont play on olympus and styx anymore... its so OP and cuts down farming so much! i wish they added scorpions to prometheus so i can craft the scorpion armor... that armor set is so good too but only unlocked from sytx missions

[@Infinity.Gaming2023]

base looks amazing, the roofing i never thought about it that way

[@dannyrothko]

Yeah if I ever go back to styx or olympus I will definitely miss that. They should just add a workshop item that lets you skin miasma items & obsidian/clay to the workshop resources.

[@fearthisjuggalo77]

Man, your base building skills make mine feel like I'm building with Duplo while you're using Technix. New base & barn looking bamf man.

[@Dyanosis]

Not sure that's the correct use of BAMF.

[@dannyrothko]

Hahah, thank you!

[@user-jomabasa]

Looks great.

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you!

Wow.. It's a really nice build.

Thank you!

Crops get a greenhouse bonus when in proximity to glass building piece, don't necessarily need to be in a greenhouse. *I'm sure you're aware of many of these things, for those who aren't*.

[@hndsmdn]

Mortar and pestle and are cheap extra storage that place on most benches. Might look a little cluttered but very handy.

[@paliatschiranukai1989]

Meeeh now that i bought the game myself when i watch you play I just wanna play myself. :D

[@dannyrothko]

😄 I hope you enjoy the game!

1. Craft some tea. 2. Go to sleep. Bruv! Your tea gunna be cold by morning!

[@dannyrothko]

Thankfully the thermos is the strongest in the universe, the tea never gets cold!

[@sourabhmajumder]

For the pillars for the barn. You could have used a Concrete Frame in pillar configuration. The Stone/Concrete Frames have additional configuration options. Hold 'R' while a Concrete Frame selected. The Barn really looks good. The base looks good. The Reinforced Glass Doors are stronger than the reinforced wood ones. Also an Art Deco Chandelier would look good and really bright.

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you! I might test out the glass doors, I do like how the reinforced wood looks with the concrete. Not a huge fan of the steel reinforced doors' appearance, and they're weaker for some reason haha. Art Deco chandelier you say... 🤔

[@itsmeagain1745]

Now you have the miasmic pickaxe, next is the miasmic axe. It gives infected wood when you cut down a tree. This gives you epoxy when run through the cleaner.

[@dannyrothko]

I actually do have the miasmic axe, I love how much epoxy you get from that thing.

[@AlexanderJamesStreet]

Here we go! 🍿😎

[@dannyrothko]

Hope you enjoy the video!

[@AlexanderJamesStreet]

@dannyrothko Love watching your journey whilst absorbing all your tips. Relocated & remoddled my base yesterday. Level 19 & truly enjoying life on Olympus!

[@dannyrothko]

@@AlexanderJamesStreet Awesome! Keep up the good work, prospector

[@dujedvornik8570]

Personally, I don't play Icarus, as don't like that much survival games. Played a bit of Forrest (nice game, but too many horror elements for me) and that is all. I really enjoy your gameplay and videos. Cheers from Croatia.

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you for watching! Hope you enjoy the series.

[@itsmeagain1745]

It would be nice to have end caps for the posts. Some basic, some 'fancy'.

[@MEanPenguin908]

Need a fancier bed now!

[@dannyrothko]

It is coming in the next episodes!

[@Dyanosis]

Base building that's very reminiscent of Valheim style building (except this looks a little easier to do positioning and interesting structures, like 2 walls joining together to make a window). Wish you'd chosen a different editing style though. Personally, I like the sound of the pieces being put in. Very jarring hearing "Okay, we're just gonna get to work" and then suddenly a massive jump cut to a finished product.

[@dannyrothko]

The grid/snapping definitely feels easier than valheim, and you can place things very far away which I think I remember being an issue in valheim, having to build scaffolding all the time. For this video in particular, my external harddrive was almost maxed out with recording footage so I had to make some cuts / not record certain long parts of the building process. With this experience now I'll try to have a bit more of the actual building footage and know when to not record to save space.

[@newii8169]

Another little cheese u can do is start the crystal extaction mission for x2 thermos x2 fuel cans and x2 ice borers for free abandon mission and keep the items

[@dannyrothko]

Oh nice idea! Those thermoses definitely used to be a huge pain, but now that the contents last so long I feel like having 2 is more than enough.

[@boamorte6497]

If you put half pieces to overlap the ends of your roof it will offer weather protection to the walls

[@dannyrothko]

I thought about that, but unfortunately I don't think I can make half roof tiles, only floor/ramp tiles so it would look odd unless I did the whole roof out of ramps.

[@hndsmdn]

Not sure if you have any stone building pieces leftover, i try and re purpose for transitional outpost mini bases by tunnel caves leading to other biomes. D5-D6,G8-G9,L2-K3, and the I4-J3 you already visited prior.

[@dannyrothko]

I have a lot of stone pieces left over, and a ton of clay I'm planning on using for ramps into different biomes. Never going back to wood!

[@TheSpakMeister]

There are some crafting bench recipies (such as cupboards) that are not on the higher tier benches yet

[@dannyrothko]

Hopefully they fix that asap!

[@JJT9084]

Need to place a concrete foundation under that power hammer to be within code

[@Dyanosis]

To be fair, he needs more supports under the actual wooden floor to be any bit in code.

[@dannyrothko]

😄

[@itsmeagain1745]

Would it be worth putting some roof half pieces on the end of the barns - should prevent damage to the interior wood walls.

[@thoomass90]

hey, I love all your videos. I am new in the game and using lots of tricks from you. I am just curious what is the technique of the small roof above your entrance? Thank you!

[@dannyrothko]

For those, I use a 1/2 solid wall and a 1/2 glass wall on top, then the roofing is two half pitches. I also add two half pitch walls at the front.

[@CorackWookie]

Nice Barn, wonder if an overhang on the ends would protect then interior wood like it does on the sides.

[@dannyrothko]

I think they could, it would need to be full sized ramps to keep the same roofing pattern though and those looked too large to me. Half pieces can only be the ramp/floor style I believe.

[@David-H-Aces]

Could you use a half floor piece to set your column to the center of the concrete floor then remove the half piece? Never mind, I see u need it half way up! love the build.

[@dannyrothko]

Thank you!

[@hndsmdn]

Get comfy with trophy bench, taxidermy knife and decorations bench with new update. Rug life

[@hndsmdn]

Cozy buff could be about 7 building tiles away from bed in each direction. Do you have much experience with dehumidifier or air conditioning in game? Those now apply for being able to sleep nearby.

[@hndsmdn]

Well rested buff is 30% max health,30% health regen, 15% max stam,15% stam regen, and 15% reduction of each food and water consumption.

[@dannyrothko]

I'm planning on making use of the comfort system soon! The next part I'm recording now, I'll be getting a bunch of decorations in the house.

[@famodil]

Do the free standing resource nodes respawn over time or once they're gone they're gone? I'm assuming the deep veins never deplete?

[@Infinity.Gaming2023]

you can respawn ores by using the Prototype Thumper in Tier 4 but it will spawn caveworms and landsharks depending on how many ores are being respawned

[@dannyrothko]

Like inifinity said, you can respawn nodes within the circle radius of a tier 4 thumper. Deep vein ores are infinite and never deplete.

[@hndsmdn]

The deep ore had been glitched recently, but they came out and said after hearing the community it was best if they were set to unlimited.

[@itsmeagain1745]

Would poison pills (kitchen bench) prevent toxic crust poisoning?

[@dannyrothko]

I tested this out in an earlier episode and unfortunately it has no effect

[@TheKite90]

Did you ever put talent points on your mounts? :D just noticed your Moa's stamina bar and i was like hmmmmm, haven't seen any points put in so far

[@dannyrothko]

Thanks for watching! This episode came out before the Liaca update which introduced the mount skill points. I do end up going deep into those systems as well later in the series.

[@Jacksonnn33]

hello how did you manage to get the glass walls to snap to the concrete half pieces?

[@dannyrothko]

Hey! You need to place a half concrete lower, then a half glass upper on that, then you can stack the full normal glass wall on top of the two halves

Doors on Barn?

[@garyharris8082]

does the barn need doors?

[@bobbyk2948]

Did you put barn doors in ? Don’t want those annoying wild animals to get in when you’re away and eat your pets.

[@dannyrothko]

I think it is safe with the moat and raised floor from animals. Not sure I want to add doors to the barn, but maybe!
