This is designed for the survivalist, with some unique buffs that you won’t find in any other sets.
We’ve also got an update on the progress of Turrets for you to catch up on.
Finally - Happy New Years from the team here at Rocketwerkz! We can’t wait to do 2024 with you.
This week: Tachyon Workshop Armor
We have added a new armor to the Orbital Workshop.
The Tachyon Armor is the first new armor we’ve added in a while, with perks and buffs designed for survival.
This included buffs to fall damage resistance and resistance to exposure, so your missteps off cliffs and poor timing out in the storms are less impactful.
These are some unique buffs we haven’t experimented with before, so should provide some noticeable difference from other armor sets that are valuable for some prospectors, but less noticeable for those who can multi-task more effectively.
Coming Soon: Turrets
As mentioned a couple of weeks ago, we are currently working on turrets which will act as autonomous defense systems for your bases.
These will be electronically powered and will require ammo which will have to be refilled on a semi-regular basis.
These will target nearby attacking creatures that stray too close, so the more dangerous region you are in, the more expensive these will be to manage, but also more valuable.
Next Week: New Creature Variation: Ignari
Next week’s update will be adding a new variation on an existing creature.
The Ignari is related to the Viscid but is found in the Volcanic Biomes, unlike its sibling which is found in the swamps.
This will have its own unique resistances and weaknesses, suited to its environment, so approach it with caution when you encounter it.
If you like what we’re doing with Icarus, and want to support our continued development, consider purchasing one of our DLCs for a few dollars, it would mean a lot to us.
