Icarus Update Introduces Flat Solar Panels
Icarus reaches its 200th consecutive weekly update by adding low-profile flat solar panels, grid angle snapping, and extensive creature and weapon adjustments.
Marking 200 consecutive weeks of updates, the latest patch for Icarus adds flat solar panels for compact base designs alongside numerous backend and gameplay adjustments.
Flat Solar Panels
A new flat solar panel variant is available, unlocking through the same tech tree talent as the original model without requiring extra points. Designed with a lower profile for rooftop installations, the flat variant supports grid angle snapping and fits cleanly onto diagonal roofs.
Creature Adjustments
Slinker behavior and stats are updated. They no longer possess protective motivation, stop hunting after a successful pounce, and ignore targets closer than 10 meters. Tundra Deer peripheral vision range increased from 115 to 140 degrees, and their poison damage types changed to fire damage.
Equipment and UI Adjustments
The Jackhammer implementation received wear adjustments, lower durability, and audio cues that follow the player's hands during pull-starts. Nailgun animations, reloading audio, and aiming sights have been aligned with standard pistols.
Why this patch matters
Week 200 delivers practical building additions alongside deep adjustments to creature AI, weapon handling, and audio design.
