Icarus Update 234 Brings Curved Wood Flooring and Railings

Icarus Week 234 adds Interior Wood curved flooring and seven curved railing variants to expand indoor building options. The update also allows players to apply medicines to others and includes various bug fixes.

Icarus Week 234 focuses on interior building flexibility by adding new curved wooden floor pieces and snap-compatible railing options. The update also improves multiplayer mechanics by enabling players to use medical items on each other.

Curved Building Pieces and Railings

Players can now build rounded walkways, balconies, and stair areas using new Interior Wood curved floor pieces, unlocked via the Interior Wood Building Advanced Set behind the Tier 2 Carpentry Bench. Two grain direction variations are available. Seven new curved railing options snap directly to these curved floors and matching curved pieces across brick, concrete, iron, refined wood, thatch, and wood building sets.

Multiplayer Enhancements and Medicine

Medicines such as bandages, tonics, pastes, and pills can now be correctly used on other players. Komodos can now be carried and skinned directly on the Skinning Bench. Modifier descriptions now clearly indicate which effects persist after death, and item tooltips have been updated to separate stat afflictions into distinct widgets.

Combat and Movement Fixes

Punch Damage armor alterations now apply working stats with doubled Fist Melee Damage values. Bats have had their tether range increased from 50 to 100 meters, ensuring they correctly turn back rather than chasing players indefinitely. Vespers now tether properly to their nests, and mammoth foot-sliding bugs have been resolved.

Why this patch matters

Week 234 gives builders better tools for rounded architecture while addressing long-standing combat tethers and enabling direct player-to-player healing.
