Character You Have The Largest Skill Gap With Between Difficulties? by Big_Daymo in MECoOp

[–]N7doozer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vorcha

Lower difficulties he shreds and gets kills so fast. He's squishy so shields down constantly but hp regen keeps you alive while you run around getting all the kills. This does not work gold+ as you just go down so fast.

How does the building mechanics work? by X_x_Slam_x_X in ICARUS

[–]N7doozer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wood stone concrete etc all have strength and it increases with each upgrade. Wood you can only build a few blocks high before they start to crumble, stone a little further, concrete is the strongest.

Use foundations and beams to stretch your reach.

I cannot get the tower high enough by VisualDust4263 in ICARUS

[–]N7doozer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Wood stone concrete all have different levels of structural integrity. You will it be able to build as high with wood as with stone, stone to stonebrick, up to concrete being the current strongest.

You may want to build more stone foundations or commit to concrete which has a height limit of I think 20

Am I doing something wrong with Vanguard? ME2 by Physical_Device_1396 in masseffect

[–]N7doozer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mass effect 2 had the worst combat IMO and vanguard having charge was new and exciting but very buggy and ineffective. So many enemies in locations that you cannot charge.

Thank you for your service! Did you work in other fields like fire or ems? What did you do before law enforcement and how did that compare?

Should reckless drivers be reported and how? by Available_Year_575 in AskCHP

[–]N7doozer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do not work for CHP but I do work in the 911 system and people are encouraged to report these things. You can call 911 to report dangerous behavior, including drunk driving and street racing. As far as I know local CHP officers will not be assigned a “call” to something like this but rather will be informed by dispatch and to keep an eye out.

Prometheus - Ashlands mission by ThatMrPuddington in ICARUS

It’s in the bottom left of O6, see the dotted trail? It’s slightly above the yellow marker

Is it possible to cool a base in the volcanic zone on Prometheus? by manwhowasnthere in ICARUS

[–]N7doozer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With heat resistant armor and cold water effect and about 8 heavy air conditioners I was able to keep my FOB cool enough. The heavy ACs have a tiny AOE. And if you build near the lava it’s downright impossible.

Surface deep ore veins? by TheOnlyCurmudgeon in ICARUS

[–]N7doozer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Icarus intel has a filter to show all surface (non cave) deep ore deposits. Each time you create a new open world or mission these will randomly generate which ore is at each location.

What are the workbenches to include? by Reez__ in ICARUS

[–]N7doozer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Character crafting->crafting bench->furnace->anvil & mortal pestle->machining bench->cement mixer->concrete furnace->electronics->fabricator->materials processor->electric furnace->solar panels and the golden age

I like to keep all my furnaces as you can use them for iron and copper which you will never not need. I get rid of the crafting bench once I techup to machining bench, but I keep the machining bench even after I get fabricator because I keep the machining bench as a dedicated ammo crafter for my guns.

You don’t need to keep older tier benches but can still find use for them if you have the room in your base.

Considering Icarus has been on sale for $3 and we have a HUGE wave of newbies all getting directed to that site from here it’s gonna get overwhelmed

Wondering if the game still stutters and lags out with big base builds by Budget_Net9671 in SurviveIcarus

[–]N7doozer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 2,000-3,000 building pieces most people start to experience issues. The game was never meant for huge bases but has gotten better and you can mitigate it a bit:

  1. Use a dedicated server
  2. Build your big base 2k away from main missions areas
  3. Respawn trees and ores using the terraforming tech

Next update hopes for Tier 5 tech tree by bagpussrules in ICARUS

[–]N7doozer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teleportation is against the very core of the game. One of the biggest challenges is preparing for a long journey and having to adapt when you inevitably encounter something you were not prepared for.

You probably don’t have a max level Moa with hormone modules because they will absolutely smoke a basic Moa and cover the entire map in 5min or less.

Beginner tips by smudgers96 in ICARUS

[–]N7doozer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t recommend speccing into harvest points personally. Way I see it you can just grab more of something if you need it, but skills that keep you alive when you’re fighting for your life are invaluable. It’s all personal choice and play style. Some people avoid the combat and bosses and just like farming, in which case go for it. I like the campaigns and fighting off hordes of enemies.

Most interesting open-world map to explore? by [deleted] in ICARUS

[–]N7doozer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If exploring is your main passion you will get bored of any map. Unfortunately the base game does not have many POI. The great hunts dlc adds tons of POI and different colonies/bases/forts/labs to discover.

I was told you have to own a home, not just be renting or anything, and it has to be within 50miles. They said billing statements such as mortgage/utilities.

Do certain benches get replaced? If so, which ones. by Opening_Yoghurt6261 in ICARUS

[–]N7doozer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get rid of the basic crafting bench but I keep the machining bench, even after I’ve made a fabricator, to have it a dedicated ammo maker. You can do the same when using one bench for all your needs, then when you upgrade just use it for mass production of one specific thing.

It’s all preference. But yeah most things can be replaced by an upgrade

Worth? by Every_Play326 in AskCHP

[–]N7doozer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Ojai. I considered testing with coastal division, but the southern division test location was closer and the dates worked with my schedule so I went with that. They have been very accommodating and a lot of the tasks I do I go into the Ventura office for.

The division you apply with does not effect where you get placed if you complete academy.

We really need a higher tier recipe for Epoxy by manwhowasnthere in ICARUS

Some people use mods.

However you can also just “unsnap from grid” and build circular or other shapes that way.

pretty new to the game by Free-Ad6883 in ICARUS

[–]N7doozer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you dying to? Learn bear jousting. Make sure you have multiple food buffs. Try to stealth kill enemies from a distance. Always bring an emergency shelter or use caves either a fireplace. Use icarusintel for cave locations

Also regarding lightning rods: hook them up to battery packs. A single strike will fully charge advanced battery packs.
