Icaria 1.0 So, after 7 years, the game has finally achieved what we set out to do and more so. The game today is very much the game we imagined when we started while also being far more that we thought we could actually make. Thanks so much to everyone who's followed along on this ride from our first play tests in early 2024, through the major reworks of the demo, and all the way to the end ear…

A fix to loading some save files when an saved entity is executing a command on the call stack. · Rework the camera zoom to better handle a variety of different mice. · Reset the loop counter on For Each when exiting by Break. · Sort the entities in ForEach in ID order so that the behavior is predictable. · Zoom on the camera now handles non-60fps frame rates correctly.
New Feature: Husk · Clear the terrain of the invasive Husk; a fungus that drains power from your robots and uses it to grow. · Attack the husk with Jackhammers, Chainsaws, and Dynamite. · Husk is passive until you engage with it and only grows outside the starting area so you won't run into it until you are placing relays. · There's more of husk to come; this is the start of the next beat in ou…

Prevent the game from getting to deconstruction and pipe placing state at the same time. That could get the game into a state where you would get an error while saving.

The UI wasn't properly displaying it as unlocked. - Beacon areas (for things like delete if empty and the "my area" query) now don't storages containing the item toward their area. Not sure what I was thinking when I set it that way but it…
TL;DR When you finish the blast furnace, the next step is to follow the "?" on the compass to the crashed lander for further instruction. I crossed some wires in the logic behind the message displayed when you complete the hammer mill and the message displayed when you complete the blast furnace. Uncross them. If you don't get the message when you complete the blast furnace, you can see the sam…
Hi everyone! Icaria is now officially launched into Early Access after nearly 6 years in development. I’ll start this post with a quick rundown of the new content, then go over our plans for what’s next.

There is now a new first person camera controller. The difference is the first person camera controller rotates around the camera center rather than trying to rotate around the thing you are looking at. It also maintains a strictly fixed altitude unless you run the camera into the terrain. The old camera controller is still available in the general settings as "third person." · Drones now valid…

Update to Unity 2022.3.59f1 This isn't a major version update, we've been on 2022.3 for quite a while. However this update comes with a lot of bug fixes. We were prompted to update now because we have gotten feedback from some players that the game is very slow to quit after a long play sessions and this update seems to help. Hopefully it also comes with broader hardware compatibility. · Fix #…
