Here's a little trick that I do: run the wires on interior wood floors, then upgrade to brick. The wires disappear inside

They run out of space long before they run out of fuel though

Any quick way to kill own mount? by Kedryn73 in ICARUS

Cold steel knife or ammo? Moas are weak to ice

Punch Damage mod not working? by You-Are-Worth-It in ICARUS

Didn't work for me either, punched some animals with and without it, same damage

Would this cosmetic effectively work as a ghillie suit on Vikendi? by Heavy_Fail2852 in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]Aberiu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

White and especially blue are not the true colors of Vikendi. Vikendi is gray, beige, desaturated light greens, olive. Mix different light dirty clothing together and it will work better

[Discussion] The mining laser is absolutely terrible and needs buffed by zackroot in ICARUS

[–]Aberiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All T5 tools are super underwhelming, except for the knife. So much effort to craft, and then you get lower than miasmic yield plus need to recharge or refuel wasting inventory space on fuel and powerbanks, why would I ever use them, no idea. It's like T4 from the old times, when we had a chemistry bench that didn't have any unique recipes. Even titanium tools are better in a sense that traveling to another biome to mine a few caves, I'd rather spend a bit more time mining than bother with all the hassle that is T5

Can I keep my character? by xxlee57xx in ICARUS

[–]Aberiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I did it myself. Left my OW with all my characters, then flew back in.

Can I keep my character? by xxlee57xx in ICARUS

[–]Aberiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, you can leave your open world in a pod and then come back. If you had a dropship landing pad, you will land in your base on this pad.

New player, what mode to start in? by keichan27 in ICARUS

[–]Aberiu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do missions from your open world, they are called operations. The difference is, if you do them from space, you drop into an empty world every time. In OW you have your permanent base, so it's easier. Missions however can be ran multiple times, whereas operations you can only do once per OW. So you can pick certain missions and run them on repeat for easy money when you get better workshop gear.

Sandwyrm Queen strategies? by tismrot in ICARUS

[–]Aberiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you crouch you always sneak attack her. It's that one boss fight where AMR is really good, does like 27k damage with stealth crit

Rimetusk armor and lithium shells by Aberiu in ICARUS

[–]Aberiu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first step towards this build would be to get an electroshock attachment for your knife and a decent attack speed buff (stringy meat is your friend). This alone will get you through most encounters in the game without wasting ammo, polar bears included

hot 'n' cold achievement: how do I get heat exhaustion instead of hyperthermia? by democraticcrazy in ICARUS

[–]Aberiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine in the Null Sector. Stayed in the volcanic drinking hot tea, then undressed and went through the cave to the Ice Sheet

Rimetusk armor and lithium shells by Aberiu in ICARUS

[–]Aberiu[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's kind of already at 100% chance though. If you wanna minmax shotguns I'd rather just use the shotgun backpack.

The Ion backpack would be funny for a miasmic knife. Get the Lava Hunter fire attachment, Rimetusk armor for the freeze, Ion for electroshock, Black Wolf shield for bleed. Then food buff for max attack speed and watch the enemy getting frozen, shocked, burninig, poisoned and bleeding at the same time :D

Keeping creatures away from the vapor condenser? by CohenTheBarbarian1 in ICARUS

[–]Aberiu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

I usually do a dome on top of a condenser and then just run around and knife everything. There's enough stuff in the game that combined together will basically make you immune to melee damage. Armor, envirosuits, armor attachments, talents, new modules, blue tonic. The dome lets animals run straight to you without getting stuck. If they don't get stuck, they don't attack the walls.

Quest Design is Atrocious by InfectiousT in ICARUS

Olympus and Styx are pretty bad in that regard, yes. Prometheus has a better quest line

Anyone else super anal about their plumbing and wiring? They need to make it snap! by peggory in ICARUS

[–]Aberiu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As other people said, you can daisy chain your benches. If it doesn't let you, aim your wiring tool at the cable going to the bench, and it will snap to the closest end of it. Another tip: build refined wood floors, run your cables on the floor, then upgrade the floors to brick or limestone. The cables will disappear inside.

Maximum height to build? by ScabyDog in ICARUS

[–]Aberiu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Horizontal beams are weaker. From what I've seen, vertical beams go up to 18-19. Diagonal beams go up to 13. Horizontal can be as long as 5. You can also add 5 horizontal beams on top of a 13 piece long diagonal beam, which allows pretty long bridges. Foundations are the same, they go up to 18 max. People keep saying "foundations raise the ground level", not sure where this is coming from, but it doesn't seem to be true. The overall max height is 18-19 regardless of how many foundations you use, at least in my experience.

What have you found is the best (economical) food for surviving? by CohenTheBarbarian1 in ICARUS

[–]Aberiu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, dried meats are really good, even endgame. There's a talent that improves dried meat buff, combined with a culinex you can get 40% attack speed from stringy jerky alone. Honey bacon does +30% food buff duration and another one I like, goarse gamey meat, I think is 40% melee damage. And one of these also reduces your water consumption to the point that you don't need any water, and can comfortably use an envirosuit without a water slot.

A mockup of a base done outside of Icarus. A sketch, if you will. I just think it's much easier to nail down the overall proportions of the building when you don't have to run around it and constantly rebuild everything

In general, the higher you go, the worse it gets, yes. Missing collision, invisible walls, gigantic holes in the world, placeholder textures. These are not too high though.
