The developers of ICARUS just released an update that is centered around quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. The Week 38 Update also added the new HIGHRISE, after several weeks without a new construction mission.
New Mission
For the new HIGHRISE mission, your task is to build a six-floor observation tower using all the resources and materials provided by the contractor. Make sure the observation tower is habitable, complete with electric lighting and backup braziers.
Here is the mission briefing:
- OPERATOR: UDA
- BIOME: The Great River, Styx
- BACKGROUND: The Operator requests a tower providing vision across the central Styx Great Lakes area.
- MISSION: Construct a tall observation tower, with electric lighting and backup braziers.
- TERMS: Flat fee. All resources and construction materials are the responsibility of the Contractor.
Quality of Life Improvements
In this update, the developers introduced two new talents in Vegetarian and Carnivore. A Vegetarian improves the buffs from Fruits and Vegetables, while a Carnivore gets better buffs from Dried Meat.
