![]() ![]() These are not in-game days, mind - the timer runs in real-time and starts counting down the moment you return to space after a previous mission. There are two key reasons to take on Prospects: earning experience by surviving during the mission and earning currency for researching or crafting high-tech gear.Įach Prospect has a time limit ranging anywhere from 4 days to 30 days, although most Prospects are 7 days. "Prospects" are missions that you can participate in. There are quite a few Prospects to play through and each one can take several hours to complete. There are all sorts of diseases in the game to worry about, but you can also protect yourself with various boons. Buffs and Debuffs - Perhaps the most critical section - right above your health bar is an area for buffs and debuffs.If you die, you'll lose a portion of your progression on your current Level. Eventually, you'll level up and earn 3 Tech Points and 1 Talent Point (more on that later). XP - Seen at the top left of your screen, you'll gain XP for completing most in-game actions.Hydration - And you have to drink water, too.Run out of oxygen and you'll fall unconscious. O2 / Oxygen - You have to breathe like any other human.Too hot or too cold and you'll start to suffer adverse effects. Temperature - You want to keep this in the ideal range.You either have to be revived by an ally or give up and respawn, resulting in the loss of some XP on your current level of progression due to "XP Debt." If it gets depleted to zero, you get knocked unconscious. ![]() – Never lose you workshop items.Survival in Icarus boils down to seven key metrics: Mission will be canceled, but you will not lose any XP at all! Worth it or not – deside yourself! You will lose all level progress, right? No! Don’t press respawn button, and quit to the main menu while you are still dead. But at beginning of mission you somehow died. ![]() ![]() Let say you are high level, and almost hit another one. At some missions traveling back to your drop pod can be so long and hard, so even with exp penalty its worth do die to quickly finish the mission. When your level is low (till 20), and you don’t have any items with you from workshop (exept enviro suit that you cannot lose on death) – this method is acceptable. Best way is to climb high cliff and jump down. Deathport is teleporting back to your drop pad by dying from anything. Fill the oxygen tank and you will have no problem with breathing until end of mission! Build 1 tile house, place workbench there, make a oxygen station, pick workstation and place oxygen station instead. Oxygen tank and water cantine from workshop is most valuable items that you can research! Buying them will alow you to save talent points on same items! While water cantine is usable at any mission (just drink water once), oxygen tank is not hard to fill too. There is no sense to buy first two enviro suits, research them but wait until you will research suit with 2 module slots, this one is really worth. – Don’t buy first two enviro suits from workshop. You will get +20% speed bonus when holding a knife, and since 90% of this game you are running somewhere, speed is most essential for anything – dodging, running away from predators, etc. No matter what build you are planning, you should invest your first 6 talent points into speed – 3 at survival tree, and 3 for running with a knife. – Always put talents points into speed bonuses. You will be surprised, but cloth armor is enough to survive at arctic missions! Don’t ignore it, its one of the best armors in the game! You don’t need any bench to craft it, and it gives +5% speed bonus. – Do not skip bone sickle In the desert missions there is not much fiber if you will gather it with hands, but with bone sickle you can gather 3 times more and to get sickle its enough to kill usually 2 predators. Many missions can be done with simple stone tools, no need for iron tools at all most time. Or even you can place bed there and bed will be not exposed too. You can even hide from storm under single angled roof placed next to mountain wall! Crouch under – and you will be protected from exposure. You can hide at cavern entrance from storm, or even skip night by sleeping there. You will be surprised how many missions do not requre to have a base at all. ![]()
