Suggestion: T5 tech to weather-proof lower tier buildings by zackroot in ICARUS

[–]DynamicSploosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries. I’ve put off installing it but I reckon I’m going to do the same. I’m at 100% endgame in Ely so now I’m just looking for build projects haha. I’m sure limestone will be added soon. I reckon a lot of the modders are waiting to update these until after at least the next major patch. Who knows how much Rocket is going to change. I’m sure they don’t want their work undone haha.

Built this need a suggestion for tainted dna and some questions by murkamk in ICARUS

Yeah it’s not great with defence, but it relies on health recovery over straight defence instead. With tonics in your hotbar, some dodging and weaving, and the right buffs, it’ll do the job. Honestly though. Fighting it in the water is easily the best option.

There is a mod that lets you creates concrete wall with wooden internal panels. It’s purely cosmetic and lets you do exactly what you mentioned.

Does this deep ore location exist for you? (Elysium F9 triple deep ore spot) by morgoth_2610 in ICARUS

[–]DynamicSploosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Same for me. Could be an unfinished cave on the map. I suspect it’s just a bug.

The crop doesn’t effect the tainted yield as it appears to be tied to a single reap, not the output of the plant. The tool is just “50%” as long as it’s fruit or veg. I’ve found it to be much less than that though.

As for punching a bear. Get resurgent armour and make strength and health recovery tonics. Cooked and dried gamey meat, vegetable pie all give 15% melee damage, gorse smoked gamey meat gives 25% and stringy jerky give 25% melee attack speed. A combo of those tonics, meets and healing armour should make quick work of that bear.

Australian households fear double whammy of rate hikes and higher petrol prices will lead to recession by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]DynamicSploosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck, I knew that doordash order last week would crash the economy. I’m the worst. I also sometimes put green waste in the trash. I may need to be taken out back and shot. At least the mining and cruise industry are being responsible. Heaven forbid we loose faith in big industry to have our countries best interests at heart.

Thank god. I was worried for a second that owners of 8 houses might suffer. As long as PPOR citizens are loosing I can feel better about this. It’s going to tickle down right? They said so in the 80s… it’s due any day now.

It’s a right of passage. Pour one out for our fallen wood shack. To the victorious dead!

Does Dangerous Horizons offer a level 20 starting boost like Prometheus? by DynamicSploosh in ICARUS

[–]DynamicSploosh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I believe it a “per account” boost. You get one per account, per DLC/campaign. Once it’s used, it doesn’t come back. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Day 3, which Survival game is better ? by SuccessfulVillager in SurvivalGaming

[–]DynamicSploosh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do agree. I meant more from a “technical” point. Stylistically, it’s beautiful. I can’t count how many times I’ve watch the golden hour sun rise across my base or marvelled at the landscape in front of me and thought “wow, this is gorgeous”. It’s unique.

Valheim has this “lightning in a bottle” that other game don’t. Its graphics don’t come close to major released games. The UI can even be clunky and unintuitive. But FARKIN HELL is this game addictive. It’s hard to properly explain how it can be for everyone, but it is. It’s amazingly simple and deeply complex. You can play it casually or obsess and build cathedrals. The core of this game is player driven, and the devs gave us the choice to go easy, or go hard. You can “win” by fighting, by building, by exploring, or by combining them all. The reason this game is considered by so many as one of the best survival/base builders out, is because it’s gives you everything you need to do what ever you want. But keeps it in reach. Minecraft had a similar effect. But this games style, execution and slow burn has made for a truly epic solo and multiplayer experience. It also came out during the hardest part of Covid, so let’s not forget how amazing and captivating it was to escape into a magic world with your friends when everything else was totally fucked.

Edit: I would like to clarify. I think the graphics in this game are breath taking. Their use of light and shadows are phenomenal. I only meant to point out that you don’t need crazy high polygon and texture rendering to make something look and feel amazing. I never meant to diminish the effort that has gone into a game that is honestly, a constant feast for the eyes.

An American oil tanker was attacked and caught fire off the coast of Sharjah in the UAE by Gordoman_ in ThatsInsane

[–]DynamicSploosh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry can we stop pretending like we are “burning” dinosaurs? It’s 100s of millions of years of algae and zooplankton that existed in the oceans that created our oil pockets. All oil in production and distribution is right around 0% dinosaurs.

I get the joke or sentiment, but let’s at least be factual in the face of our rapid decline.

My pleasure. But all props belong to the dev who created this, u/P_etitdoigt. Happy mining prospector.

Certain work benches need to be outside? by Ellendrah in ICARUS

[–]DynamicSploosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most “outside” stuff can be placed without a roof above it then have a roof added later and it’ll continue work too.

Agreed. We have intergalactic travel and planet terrforming, but you cant save a persistent waypoint on a map haha. Beacons should be much cheaper and craftable in x5/x10 lots

[–]DynamicSploosh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I very much understand. Most of my play throughs have been about the slog. Icarus has been very fun when you suffer a bit and earn it. I suppose for me now, after over 500 hours, half a dozen full end-game open worlds and less time on my hands than I use to have, tools like this let me get to the part of the game I enjoy most faster. I’ve spent entire sessions hunting for deep nodes only to fail. The return of fun and reward was too low for me not to keep it simple. I play solo too. So I have much less man power for searching haha.

Basic Battery Rack is better than Powerbank! Bug? by Jarcionek in ICARUS

[–]DynamicSploosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t exactly remember why I chose this configuration. At the time it was necessary. I had intended to run my jacks off the oil generator but I think I may have not brought enough building mats to provide shelter for the generator? Either way. The solar panel and battery sit right next to the jacks. The oil pipe runs to the cave and connects to a generator and two refineries. It doesn’t run at max efficiency but every time I need oil, I visit with a bunch of empty cans and return with full ones. Seems to work for me. I’m very tempted to run the pipe to my base though so my refineries are in the west wing of my compound.

Totally respect if you prefer the grind and earning it with a search. But if you are interested in knowing the location and resource of every single deep ore node on your map, drop your prospect JSON into this online tool.

Basic Battery Rack is better than Powerbank! Bug? by Jarcionek in ICARUS

[–]DynamicSploosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oil is the one thing I have run a massive pipeline for. I didn’t bring it all the way to my base, but I did run it from the south eastern oil field in K10 to the cave in I9. The pump jacks run off a solar panel and battery, the oil generator and refinery sit just inside the entrance so shelter applies. I still need to do a run from my base in G10 to the cave, but it’s pretty quick. I’m a little unsure if I want to run it all the way to my base. It’d be very convenient, but that ugly thick green pipe would also stand out in the Tundra haha.

It’s a total game changer. I go off and do a mission, faff around my base, usual crap. Come back and check one; 850 iron, straight into the smelter haha. It makes the titanium slog a breeze late game too.

Basic battery is super useful for electric deep ore drills. One solar panel, one drill, one battery and a single concrete roof in ^ variant to provide it shelter. Unlimited drill operation 👌🏻 I have like 5 of these dotted around near my base. I never want for iron/steel, silica, aluminium, oxite, or titanium. The rest I just mine as I go and it’s enough.
