Icarus Week 234 Update | Curved Building & Railing Update

Welcome to Week 234.

This week’s patch adds new Interior Wood flooring pieces, expanding your options for building and decorating indoor spaces. These pieces are designed to fit smoothly with existing assets for more variety and flexibility in layouts.

We’re also introducing curved railings that snap to these new floors, as well as other compatible curved floor pieces. This makes it easier to create clean, rounded walkways, balconies, and stair areas.

We also have a quick preview of next week in which we will be releasing a new item, the Deep Cycler, and Obsidian Deep Ore Deposits on all maps.

Notable Improvements:

• Added Curved Interior Wood Floors

• Added 7 Curved Railing Items

• Fixed Punch Damage armor alterations not having working stats

• Komodo's can now be carried and skinned on the Skinning Bench

• Split out Modifier information in Item Hover Tooltips for better readability

• Medicines can now be used on/applied to other players correctly

• Fixed Vespers not tethering to their nest properly and chasing players forever

• Optimized several hundred icon textures to be smaller file size and sharper quality

This Week: Curved Interior Wood Floor

This week we have expanded our curved building piece options by adding the highly requested Interior Wood version. The new piece is available via the Interior Wood Building Advanced Set which is unlocked behind the Carpentry Bench in Tier 2. This also unlocks two variations of the same piece with the grain in different directions so you can make the perfect flooring

Let us know what other pieces you would like to see next.

This Week: Curved Railing Variations

In addition to the new curved Interior Wood pieces, we also saw the need for adding in curved railings to go with all of the new curved pieces that are now available. These snap to the curved floor pieces and there are seven new curved railing options now available for you to use and they're available as variations for the existing Railing items.

Next Week: Obsidian Deep Ore & Deep Cycler

Next week we plan on adding Obsidian Deep Ore Deposits to Olympus, Styx and Elysium allowing them to spawn. We are also adding a brand new T5 device that will allow you to trigger a reconfiguration of your deep ore deposits within a localized area, allowing them to effectively change type.

Your support makes these updates possible.
