Icarus Update 2.2.47 Adds Curtains, Weapon Adjustments, and Great Hunt Prep
Icarus Update 2.2.47 introduces six new curtain sets, skeletal mesh shadow improvements, and balance tweaks for tools and weapons. The patch also lays groundwork for the Great Hunts expansion weapons.
Update 2.2.47 for Icarus delivers new decorative options with six craftable curtain sets, expands shadow rendering improvements to skeletal and thin meshes, and refines resource crafting logic. The patch also preps backend systems and UI for the Great Hunts expansion.
New Curtains and Building Options
Six new curtain sets arrive for base decorators, featuring Tier 2 Fur and Tier 3 Elegant and Reinforced platinum weave designs. Curtains and windows now fit on all left and right doorway pieces, and can share the same window frames. Collision extents on curtains have been reduced to allow corner placement on stone walls, and they can now be placed on half windows and doors.
Shadow Rendering and Visual Fixes
Building on last week's shadow overhaul, Distance Field shadows now properly cast from skeletal meshes like storage cupboards and animated doors. Thin meshes, including iron buildables, leak less light and are no longer over-shadowed. Bee death animations feature new visual effects, and electricity and water tools now render correctly when held in the player's hand.
Crafting and Tool Adjustments
Resource crafting receives several logic fixes, ensuring the correct amounts of items and containers are dragged across processing inventories without errors. The Golem Gauntlet Hammerfist damage is now a percentage modifier applied to the item's base melee damage, and the gauntlet now prompts users to recharge by hitting rocks when empty. Scorpion Rifle and Sandworm Crossbow stats and reload animations have also been adjusted.
Great Hunts Expansion Integration
The Great Hunts user interface now shows current and missing map hunts, alongside region-lock messages for bosses located on different maps. Legendary weapons tied to the expansion, such as the Rimetusk Sledgehammer and Quarrite Gauntlet, receive balance passes, audio additions, and attachment adjustments.
Why this patch matters
Update 2.2.47 successfully fills long-standing decoration requests while ironing out persistent shadow rendering bugs and tightening up the balance on new expansion gear.
