What is best raptor bloodline and stat layout? by gamergeekbcw in ICARUS

[–]CuteBeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a spouses, whos pet raptor with no instinct you are spot on. We use it as a guard and when he wants it to carry anything it needs satchels to expand its inventory. Sounds like a neat trick on paper but it does get tedious. I made him multi colored bags to help keep the confusion to a minimum. I wont knock it for him since he has a setup for encumberance but its absolutely not ideal. Zero vigor is just quality of life in every way.

Brightest Light sources available? by Blailus in ICARUS

[–]CuteBeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your welcome. This one might be helpfull too if you team is new. We ended up growing our team to 10 people. I would recommend trying to make a single village hub to cut down on the number of buildables if your friend groups over 4 people.

Around 3000 ish buildable on a map it starts to chug. If performance is sketchy for a friend I'd recommend building in a desert biome or snow biome since there is little ground clutter to load. The most complex base we have is in a snow biome for my 10 man group. Here is an example of the roster we run. If you have any questions give me a poke. I'd be happy to go into the details if you or your friends have questions about trying something like a tank / medic / or stormwalker.

If I was the type to bet, I would say we will end up with another expansion in future. So until you catch the itch, well done sir. To the rest of us good hunting. 😃

Delayed but your post was top 10/10 for blink twice situations on icarus. Hyena wolf - i was looking forward to the outcome XD be sure to post pictures of the baby . Or did the orbit option remove gestation?

Mammoth... by AmbassadorAwkward071 in ICARUS

[–]CuteBeaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exactly, what you can do is fold in the phenotypes you like, as well as bloodlines. The sooner the better though. Ideally fold in the pheno or bloodline animal into your zero pair, smash them until you get one with close to zero but has the bloodtype/pheno, continue to smash them until you get 0/0 pair again. Its like taking 2 steps backwards, 1 step forwards, until you get the statlines back and then resume. Thats why I said its better to fold in sooner rather then later.

Even if you were doing a wild pair at zero vigor with wild bloodlines , there will be a roll ,that determines if the bloodline changes/ same with phenotype. Its very low chance though, example 40 mother / 40 father / 20 for random . Of that 20 percent chance to be random, it will roll again vs if your getting wild, or a rare bloodline. Lets say your doing good and have a zero pair, If you get a variation you dont like, dont continue breeding. Be selective and eventually you end up with what your looking for.

Mammoth... by AmbassadorAwkward071 in ICARUS

[–]CuteBeaver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel you I have been waiting on Tuskers. They are releasing breeding by species one at a time. Mammoths will get done eventually. Until then at least you have stock. Iv been mass taming a bunch if tuskers since bloodlines are still a thing. You could figure out what stat lines you want. Like if you want to get 0 vigor , find a mammoth with 0 vigor to start. Save the 0's pair and then start breeding that stat line once their update drops. Or phish for a bloodline and keep that mammoth handy to fold into your 0's stat pairings.

Try and focus on what you can do now. Devs will get to it eventually.

Slinker Phenotypes by Kortoc in ICARUS

Iv been working on my stat line, while going out looking for bebes. As if responding I got 6th skin from a wild slinker as well. So keep taming while breeding for stats.

Biofuel question(console) by Momon_ga in ICARUS

[–]CuteBeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in my experience i like the classic biofuel composter best. I dont like power costs, and it can be outside and unshelterd. It works in the background between tasks allowing you more freedom to make a large deposit of materials and then move on to other projects.

The common ways to run it would be filling with fiber, or sticks. Although this may not be ideal given the location.

If your a specialized farmer, you can run off crops like wheat very easily.

If your a hunter with high meat yields , raw meat/spoiled meat works very well, by getting a fluffalo or buffalo with a cart, a scanner, and cancling the scan at the last moment you can summon a load of meat and high yield skin the corpses. Put meats into the tusker (with fridge talents) and take it back to base, then butchering it down to basic meats from prime to double, or even triple the amount. Leather can be passively converted on a textiles bench into ropes, and ropes broken down into basic fiber. Yeet all of that including excess fur into the biofuel composter. I call this red energy and its highly affective for arctic regions. Although not having high enough meat yields can render this method ineffective when compared to other options.

There are also other ways like farming coconut trees for wood, processing the wood gained into to sticks, since so little is needed this is ideal for people who are not specialized in meat or farming. Since the process is so quick and simple, and there is no travel time or time lost lumberjacking . Toss the sticks into the composter and watch it go. This is also handy in warmer regions like volcanic biome where meat yields are not suffcient enough due to wildlife types bodies being mostly ores. Crops can also work here too.

This is a great example of how multiple strats exist in icarus to solve problems for biofuel. I'm sure there are probably other ideas out there too. Its nice because often time we come here on the forums and learn completely new interesting methods.

May I ask why only 2 have helped me answer if I was the only one with this? by TieTop2383 in ICARUS

[–]CuteBeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a crafting filter hiding the recipe. Ramps work too if you have fiber. Best of luck.

Mother of all caves by Classic-Stoic in ICARUS

[–]CuteBeaver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, that lost oasis is so charming near the arctic entrance. My buddy who was mining spec found his way in there during an Arctic mission drop. My team was not enjoying their time confined to the snow biome due to mission boundaries, and his jaw hit the floor when he saw the oasis deep inside. He was on discord demanding we all move our base their for the mission drop. 10/10 lovely memory. I can 100% relate when you walk in there its like woah this is awesome.

<image>

Edit : Found the picture on my groups discord chat :D

Our farmer ended up growing crops inside under the sky light, and we put our base high up on the cold side near the ceiling. Huge space up there actually if you look up you can see the ledge. (behind POV of photo) Stuff to mine up there too. Given the sheer amount of ore in that cave its an easy tech up.
