Icarus Update Adds Envirosuit Swapping and Seed Buffs
Icarus Week 175 introduces on-planet envirosuit swapping, faster seed processing, capacity buffs for pouches, and a new Harvesting Cart attachment.
Week 175 brings major quality-of-life adjustments to farming and equipment management in Icarus, letting players swap envirosuits on the surface and streamlining seed production.
Envirosuit Swapping
Players can now bring multiple envirosuits down from orbit using the Orbital Exchange Interface or dropships, allowing loadout customization while away from base. Extra logic prevents duplication exploits when equipping suits and carrying them in cargo simultaneously.
Seed and Farming Overhaul
Seed Extractor crafting times drop from 60 seconds to 30 seconds, and recipe costs are reduced alongside increased crop yields. Seed Pouch capacity doubles from 6 to 12 slots, while the Farmers Satchel expands from 16 to 24 slots. A new Seed Harvester attachment for the Harvesting Cart enables rapid seed collection.
Mounts and Client Fixes
Tamed mounts that fall out of the world now attempt to teleport back to the online owner or their last grounded location. Client-side icon bugs for the Hammerhead Slug boss and auto-reload message displays for both hosts and clients have been resolved.
Balance and Performance
Enemy turret health drops from 10,000 to 1,000. Landmine stats and damage application after reloading a prospect are corrected. T4 Anvil proxy crates are replaced with standalone props to improve performance.
Why this patch matters
Week 175 significantly reduces inventory friction for farmers and adds tactical flexibility by decoupling loadouts from initial orbital drops.
