Icarus Update Adds Arctic Survival Saddle and Balances Backpacks
Week 192 introduces the Arctic Survival Saddle with increased cold resistance and inventory slots. The patch also tones down carbonweave backpack stats and fixes several achievements.
Mounts get a dedicated cold-weather option in Week 192 with the introduction of the Arctic Survival Saddle. This update also scales back carbonweave backpack stats, fixes broken achievement trackers, and prevents complete mitigation of vital survival meters.
New Arctic Survival Saddle
Crafted at the Animal Bench using platinum weave, wool, and rope, the Arctic Survival Saddle provides five base inventory slots, two utility slots, and added cold resistance. It is tailored for fast mounts operating in late-game arctic regions.
Stat Adjustments and Achievement Fixes
The Carbonweave backpack's survival stats have been lowered to provide a more balanced experience, and biomore backpacks no longer grant auras to boss enemies. Food, water, and oxygen consumption can no longer be completely mitigated, ensuring meters always maintain a minimum drain rate. The update also resolves bugged achievement trackers.
Why this patch matters
This update improves late-game cold exploration options while reining in overpowered backpack stats and clamping down on survival meter exploits.
