ICARUS Hotfix 1.1.1.89157 Improves Gold Spawns (For Real This Time), Fixes Bugs

Prospectors should finally be able to complete missions requiring Tier 4 without entering every cave on the map, thanks to the latest ICARUS hotfix. The week one content update was supposed to improve gold spawns in caves, but anyone who tried to craft the 100+ Electronics required for the PAYDAY mission in the last few days knows that caves remained bereft of the shiny stuff even after the December 10th update; today’s hotfix will likely save players hours of time searching for gold. Version 1.1.1.89157 also includes a number of bug fixes, improvements to the Workshop campfire, and a handful of QoL updates.

One notable change is to the MXC Campfire, which can be researched and crafted in the Orbital Workshop. This campfire will now stay lit even in the rain, giving players another reason to bring it with them on missions. The hilarious (until it happened to you) bug that caused players to land dead on Icarus has been fixed, and a decent number of other issues have also been dealt with in today’s hotfix. Check out the full patch notes below!

Hotfix Version 1.1.1.89157 Patch Notes

If you are experiencing crashes on load, use the “verify game” option that Steam provides. Updates to your game are provided by your steam client. Please provide logs to Steam Support if you experience this.

Not mentioned in the notes below are several pieces of work happening in the background to address errors 019 and 020. These errors are preventing some players from resuming prospects on affected characters. We will be re-enabling the debug ‘Remove Character from Prospects’ button until we have a more permanent fix in place. This has to be enabled on our database, so the work is timed to coincide with our database maintenance later in the week. Thank you to all those providing information to our dev team to help our attempts to solve this complex issue.

  • Improved Players will now more reliably be informed of mission completion upon returning to the HAB.
  • Added ability to change cosmetic character creation options whenever in the HAB.
  • Changed MXC Campfire to no longer be extinguished by rain.

  • Improved performance of creature fur.

  • Fixed issue with printed (MXC) arrows which would often prevent them from colliding with obstacles.
  • Fixed issue preventing players from using Comet Coal once on the planet. Players can purchase the Comet Coal Set, which will need to be separated using the right-click menu before it can be used as a fuel source.
  • Fixed issue where Flint Arrows were a valid ammo type for the Hunting Rifle.
