Icarus Update Introduces the Culinex Backpack and Fixes Projectile Combat

Icarus Week 177 adds the workshop Culinex Backpack for food buffs and survival efficiency, alongside fixes for projectile weapon combat against fish.

The latest Icarus patch expands workshop utility options with a chef-focused backpack and implements fixes for projectile hit detection and achievements.

The Culinex Backpack

Players can purchase and equip the Culinex Backpack from the workshop. Wearing the backpack increases the duration and effect strength of food crafted by the wearer, amplifies active food buffs, and reduces food and water consumption rates during excursions.

Combat and Achievement Fixes

Projectiles including thrown weapons, arrows, bolts, and firearm ammo can now kill fish correctly. The Pain in the Bass achievement now grants properly when requirements are met.

UI and Tooltip Corrections

An issue where custom crafted food stats failed to scale correctly in tooltips is resolved. The fix also addresses incorrect scaling on the BaseFoodStomachSlots stat tooltip that previously made cooked food appear to consume multiple slots.

Why this patch matters

The Culinex Backpack offers a survival loop for players focused on cooking efficiency, rounding out a patch week with bug fixes.
