How to Build Doors / Windows and How to Get More Oxygen:
--------------------------------------------------------
Writen by Written by Pawn63295 (Nick).
Guide to Build Doors / Windows and Get Oxygen
-=Building=-
* When place a wall use the "R" button to open alternate blueprints to place
door frames and window frames.
* Then you need to build a window or door to place in the frame you just
built.
* Also just to add, fires seem to not harm your structures when placed
indoors.
* This is just a basic tutorial for now which i will most likely expand on
in the future.
-=Oxygen=-
You can place oxcyte in your inventory next to the oxygen space and it will
automatically fill your oxygen bar slowly ass needed.
* The best way to get more oxygen is to build an oxidizer and fill it up
with the oxcyte.
* Then you just click the balloon and it will fill you up.
* It is also much more efficent than using the mineral on its own to fill
your oxygen bar.
How to Level Up Fast in Game Tips:
----------------------------------
Written by DocStockman
-=First steps=-
As you land you’re level one. I spend the initial few minutes gathering
sticks/stones to make both an axe and a mining pick. I proceed to mine an
oxite node, and gather any edibles immediately nearby. Getting the first
level isn’t terribly difficult, cutting down trees is an excellent source
of initial xp to get the first level or two out of the way.
Moving towards level 5
The first unlocks I grab when leveling are the bow, stone arrows, campfire,
bedroll, and stone knife.
The bow and arrows are going to be your ticket to fast leveling as you’ll
see shortly, and if you didn’t play the beta weekends you’re going to need
a little practice to get the hang of nailing those critical hits. The stone
knife will let you skin animals for the necessary fur to make a bedroll,
and net you leather, meat, and bones. Skin every animal you kill, save all
of the bones/fur/leather for later. Once you have enough fur, make a bedroll.
While I’m taking in my surroundings, I try to find a cave to shelter in.
The beta did not have enemies in caves, however at launch it seems there
are worms that will attack you if you go too far in. My solution is simple,
don’t go far in. Using the mining pick, create a hole just big enough for
you to jump through, and setup your campfire/bedroll right against that
stone wall. You should be able to stay out of worm aggro range here, and
it will allow you to have shelter during storms, and a place to sleep
through the night.
It’s important to mention that you shouldn’t make the hole go all the way
to the ground. Leave enough stone that you have to jump up and into the
hole. This way you can fire your bow at the local wildlife/predators
through the entrance you just made to your cave abode.
Level 5 and beyond
Once you hit level 5, you can unlock wood structures. To be honest, nearly
all of it is a waste of points. However, by unlocking wooden pillars and
wooden ramps/roofs, you can create a structure that will let you more easily
see and hunt wildlife for faster xp gain. I’ve included a picture of my setup.
Since I started off in a cave as previously mentioned, I built this right outside
the cave against a mountain wall. It’s not expensive to make, doesn’t take long
to build up, and provides excellent view distance. As soon as possible, unlock
bone arrows (which is why we’ve been saving bones from our kills up to this point).
Bone arrows make a huge difference in getting those one-shot kill crits.
WIth some practice, you can one-shot wolves/deer from hundreds of yards away.
And you’re going to want to kill every wolf you see. Wolves net you 1600-2000
xp. To compare, goats/deer are 1/3 of that at best. Typically I will sleep in
the bedroll until morning, eat my food to buff up, climb into my makeshift deer
stand, and scan the area. If I notice any trees that are blocking my line of
sight, I’ll cut them down until I have several lanes to look down. Most of the
time I won’t come down to skin an animal right away, especially with wolves
because sometimes they travel in packs.
With this method, I managed to make it up to level 15 in no time, crafting newer
items/tech as the levels progressed.
Skip Intro Video:

How to load directly into the game without watching the cool intro, and you
don’t have to do any crazy code.
-=Simply delete the video=-
All you have to do is right click on Icarus in your steam library, browse local
files, open the Icarus folder, open Content, and finally, open Movies. Then,
just delete "startup_01". After that, it should start up the game with the logo,
and head into the game without ever seeing the intro. Have fun playing!
How to Complete the Long Missions on the Styx Map:
--------------------------------------------------
I ran into this too trying to get to the ice area. If you’re not interested in
doing the long missions required for them to be opened (as I wasn’t) I found a
way around it:
* Open this file in a text editor (Notepad is easiest, generally).
%localappdata%\Icarus\Saved\PlayerData\[steamID]\Profile.JSON
Styx: Inside the brackets after “Talents”:If there’s an existing set of talents,
go to the end and add a comma, if not simply add a new line between the brackets.
Either way, paste the following:
{
"RowName": "Prospect_Styx_A_Expedition",
"Rank": 1
},
{
"RowName": "Prospect_Styx_A_Exploration",
"Rank": 1
},
{
"RowName": "Prospect_Styx_B_Expedition",
"Rank": 1
},
{
"RowName": "Prospect_Styx_E_Expedition",
"Rank": 1
},
{
"RowName": "Prospect_Styx_C_Expedition",
"Rank": 1
},
{
"RowName": "Prospect_Styx_D_Expedition",
"Rank": 1
},
{
"RowName": "Prospect_Styx_B_Exploration",
"Rank": 1
},
{
"RowName": "Prospect_Styx_C_Exploration",
"Rank": 1
},
{
"RowName": "Prospect_Styx_E_Exploration",
"Rank": 1
},
{
"RowName": "Prospect_Styx_D_Exploration",
"Rank": 1
}
Glass Buildings Tips:
---------------------
In shorts: you can do it in any biome.
* If you have one of the more advanced glass crafting stations with a water hookup,
it makes MUCH stronger glass parts. They have the word reinforced in their name.
* They get a 500% health increase on each part, and a damage resistance bonus to
wind effects.
* Regular glass made without the water hookup is pretty much garbage.
* So you only need to produce ‘Reinforced’ glass with water.
* Becomes as strong as stone walls with the same resistance to weather.
* I almost never repair my greenhouse. Calmly withstands bad weather ‘4 petals’
yellow (this corresponds to medium difficulty Openworld).
