Icarus Week 157 Update Introduces Shaggy Zebra Mounts
Icarus Week 157 adds arctic-specialized Shaggy Zebra mounts and implements AI perception adjustments to reduce unexpected creature attacks.
Icarus players can now tame arctic Shaggy Zebra mounts and utilize revised enemy perception rules.
Shaggy Zebra Mounts
Juvenile Woolly Zebras spawn in the arctic zones of Prometheus. After dealing with the parents, players can raise these juveniles into specialized arctic mounts equipped with talent progression trees.
AI Perception and Stealth
Creatures require a fully heightened state of aggression to track players using last-seen locations if line of sight is broken. Additionally, player footstep and jump noise ranges are halved while sheltered inside buildings.
Base and Crafting Improvements
Supply drop pods damage surrounding structures sequentially over time rather than simultaneously, capped at 30 items. Deep mining drills resume operation after reloading a prospect save, and crafting menus feature new stack modifier buttons.
Why this patch matters
Week 157 delivers quality-of-life adjustments to stealth mechanics while adding a mount option for cold biomes.
