Icarus Week 247 Adds Slinker Saddles and Cleans Up Elysium

Icarus Week 247 adds 11 new saddles for the Slinker, resets Elysium foliage to clear terrain bugs, and rebalances Reaver dive attacks.

Icarus Week 247 introduces a full slate of new saddles for the Slinker companion and cleans up persistent terrain issues on the Elysium map by performing a complete foliage reset.

Expanded Slinker Saddles

Eleven existing saddles now work with the Slinker, bringing its total to 14 options. Players can craft standard Arctic, Desert, and Arctic Survival saddles, or equip styles from the Creature Comforts DLC including Arctic Explorer, Armored, Bearhide, Crocodile Skin, Deluxe Leather, Desert Tracker, Racing, and Sandworm Scale.

Elysium Foliage Reset

Foliage on the Elysium map has been reset to resolve terrain holes, unreachable voxels, floating trees, and plants spawning underground. This reset affects existing open worlds and prospects. The update also improves swamp region navigation, making a hidden cave path to the volcanic region easier to find.

Combat and Balance Tweaks

Reaver dive attack damage output has been halved, and the chance to inflict deep wounds has been removed. Minor adjustments also fix duplicated ore voxels and floating meta deposit nodes on Elysium.

Why this patch matters

Week 247 improves exploration comfort with extensive Slinker customization and cleans up problematic terrain on Elysium at the cost of temporary base disruption.
