Icarus Update Week 250 Introduces Electric Seed Extractor
Icarus Week 250 adds the Tier 4 Electric Seed Extractor for faster crop processing and previews the upcoming Kiwi animal companion. The patch also increases Vapor Condenser inventory space and resolves strawberry plant harvesting collisions.
Week 250 brings automation to farming operations with a new Tier 4 deployable while laying technical groundwork for future creatures.
New Tier 4 Equipment
The Electric Seed Extractor arrives in the Tier 4 Tech Tree to process crops and collect seeds significantly faster than the basic Tier 1 equivalent. This deployable is designed for large-scale farming operations seeking to build up seed supplies efficiently.
Quality of Life and Inventory Fixes
Vapor Condenser inventory size is increased to hold all potential rewards without blocking items in volcanic areas during hard mode, and a Take All option has been added. Blueprints now display checkmarks when their required missions are completed. Main inventory windows are widened by 20 pixels to prevent unnecessary scrollbars, and roof light collision has been adjusted for easier placement.
Bug Fixes and Environment
Strawberry plants in crop plots can now be harvested and sickled properly again. Pig Trophies and Geothermal Spider Vestiges now provide their intended rewards. Juvenile taming UI elements have been updated with localized text, and the shelter requirement for Chew and Draven has been removed to match other juvenile tames.
Future Content Preview
Next week's update will introduce the Kiwi animal companion, allowing players to capture, tame, and bring them along on Prospects. Additional assets for upcoming content, including ground dragon audio and animations, koala sheep, and new settlement structures, are also being prepped in the game files.
Why this patch matters
Week 250 delivers practical farming automation alongside essential inventory upgrades, keeping crop management smooth while teasing new companion mechanics.
