• Items placed in exotic drop pods that can't be taken up to space are now put into an overflow bag instead of destroyed
  
• Correcting the chicken coop not having the correct PMs set on the roof collision boxes - causing the audio to sound like walking on dirt instead of wood which would seriously effect the players immersion causing mass panic

• Added camera shake to horse mount kick montage for added zest

This Week: Seed Collection Changes

• This device automatically turns crops into seeds when you place them inside. It takes about a minute to generate one seed, which can then be planted in crop plots or dirt mounds like normal.
  

• This fertilizer will enable seeds to be collected when harvesting from dirt mounds or crop plots.
  

• At T3, we have added a sickle attachment that will allow sickles to collect seeds from wild plants or crop plots, as you currently do.
  

• We have also added a workshop sickle called ‘The Reaper’, which acts just like the threshing attachment mentioned above with some added bonuses for seed yield.
  

• Increases the Yield of Harvesting Seeds from Wild or Farmed Crops
  

• Increases the number of Seeds that Farmed Crops can produce
  

What is next for farming? And why not just drop the concept of seeds entirely and go back to how the game was at launch?

On one hand, seeds provide a nice way to pace and balance farming, something that wasn’t present in the game on release. On the other hand, an issue we are aware of is the abundance of food in Icarus. People don’t really struggle to keep their food meter full, as it is very easy to find, grow and cook decent meals, which really goes against the survival nature of the game.

We feel this patch moves the game in the the right direction, as it will help players now make more meaningful choices when it comes to finding and growing their own crops for food rather than every crop being easily accessible on planet.

In addition, a feature we would really like to add in future is the ability to genetically modify your crops, and even carry inherited 'traits' from one generation of plants to the next. This would open up the posibility of providing buffs to crops when they are used in food, manipulation to be able to grow crops outside their natural biomes or even allowing cross-pollination or the creation of entirely new plants.

Coming Soon: Great Hunts

Next Week: Envirosuit QoL

Your support makes these updates possible.
