Icarus Week 180 Update Adds Wooden Armor Stand

Week 180 introduces the Wooden Armor Stand to Icarus, giving players a quick-swap station and display tool. The patch also improves delivery ship map icons and adjusts turret pitch angles.

The latest Icarus patch focuses on base organization and gear management with the introduction of the Wooden Armor Stand, alongside targeted combat and UI adjustments.

Wooden Armor Stand

Unlocked in the Tier 2 tech tree and crafted at the Carpentry Bench using copper nails, refined wood, and vegetable oil, the Wooden Armor Stand serves as both a display and a functional utility. Players can store unused armor sets or use the quick-swap system to instantly switch equipped gear with the items on the stand. The stand also supports up to ten different poses selectable through the UI.

Quality of Life and Navigation

Map icons for delivery, supply, and retrieval ships are much easier to see. Turrets can pitch down an additional 15 degrees to target smaller enemies at close range more effectively. A rustic lamp lighting issue preventing proper toggling is resolved.

Bug Fixes and Adjustments

Quick move and inventory updates for armor stands function properly. The delivery ship map icon received a clear outline for better visibility, and text errors related to sandworms in data tables have been corrected.

Why this patch matters

The addition of the armor stand streamlines loadout management for players transitioning between exploration and combat.
