Icarus Week 248 Brings Scoria Veins to All Maps
Icarus Week 248 puts Scoria Deep Ore Veins on all maps, cleans up client ghost fires, and speeds up sun and moon shadows.
Icarus Week 248 expands resource availability by bringing Scoria Deep Ore Veins across all prospects and outposts. The patch also tackles visual desynchronization issues with fire and rolls out quality-of-life adjustments.
Scoria Deep Ore Expansion
Scoria Deep Ore Veins now spawn on all maps. Newly created worlds spawn these veins naturally across the map, while existing prospects require the Deep Cycler device introduced in Week 325 to generate them.
Ghost Fire Fixes
A cosmetic-only fix clears lingering fire particles on clients when a fire has already been extinguished on the server, hiding the long-standing visual desync issue.
World and Icon Adjustments
Sun and moon position updates now run at 50ms instead of 200ms to create smoother shadow movement at sunrise and sunset. Gold and Sulfur icons revert to their original designs for better visual distinction, and taxidermy knife usage on piglets now correctly yields the Piglet Head instead of the Trophy.
Why this patch matters
Week 248 spreads key resources to all maps and tackles client visual bugs while setting up future additions like Workshop Power Banks.
