The hefty Galileo update for ICARUS is now available on PC. This patch contains new content, most notably the fishing and bestiary systems. But there's also something for the completionists out there: Steam Achievements!
Steam Achievements
Players who have the knack for completing everything in ICARUS can now get their hands on the new Steam achievements introduced in the Galileo update. There are 40 Steam achievements that they can accomplish right now.
While there are some that are unlockable just by playing the game, such as "Baby Steps" where players simply have to finish the tutorial, others are also pretty challenging to complete.
For instance, "Gotta Catch Them All" is an achievement that can only be acquired after unlocking all creature entries in the Bestiary. As if that's not difficult enough, there's the "One Shot, One Kill" achievement, which requires players to eliminate 1,000 targets with stealth critical hits.
Trading Cards
The Galileo update brought nine trading cards to the game as well. Players can earn one trading card for completing an hour of playtime, but only half of the cards can be gained this way. They must trade with others if they want to complete the entire set.

- Fix Large Desert Antelope bones mesh receiving incorrect material assignment after refactor

- Removed some caching with the displayed weight on the encumberance bar on the HUD as it was showing old values until animating out
