@icarus-firstcohort-basebui9026 Thank you. Had a quick look, seems very doable. Now we just need the devs to tidy up the other menu items.. The Armor, Bows, Consumables, can't remember which others, are a mess. I've tidied them up in my pack but it's a mess every time they add a new item. Also, have you considered adding custom icons? Would be happy to help if you do, just have to remember how I did mine.
@@DreamingSheep I played with UE4 and did manage to create a Uasset mod to reverse the image of the module icon for my modules. I still have a lot to learn with respect to anything beyond json editing.
Good video. I have played Icarus for about 50 hours and am having a great time. It will probably be a very long time before I wish to mod it as I feel modding can seriously diminish the fun I have playing a game. I can mod Skryim and Minecraft with impunity because I played them to death for years and years. If I make ore in Icarus disappear after one hit, give myself a million exotics, or just teleport from one end of a map to another, I don't see what the purpose of the game is. As soon as I used a god-mode code (when I was a teenager), the game ceased to be fun. I'm glad you enjoy the game with the mods, though.
Hi David, thanks for your feedback. You are absolutely right, mods do tend to diminish the challenge and experience the game was intended for. I remember the sheer terror when first playing Icarus, caught in the middle of the night with no food or shelter, and burning my house down, being killed by bears and wolves. But like you with Skyrim and Minecraft I have played Icarus to death, and have completed every mission from start to finish and grinded out resource, hunting everthing to the ends of the maps. I really enjoy the building aspect of the game and the beauty of the environment, so mods breathed new life into the game for me. Plus I am a techy guy and have extremely enjoyed creating tools to dismantle the game files and see what can be done with mods, while finding a balance for play style.
Thanks! The fiber is a good catch, will fix that, but the glass jars, along with other fillable containers were purposely made not to stack, because there is some unintended results if you combine full with empty jars, ie; they disappear, or full become empty and viceversa
@@jonnysweeny Damn! right you are... will remove those, I think I have beer bottles and wine bottles in there also... Ok.. updated, look for the changes after Week#110 updates!
You need to place your *_P.pak mod file into the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Icarus\Icarus\Content\Paks\mods Then start the game normally. If you downloaded the *.zip file you need to extract the pak files from that into the above directory. If you installed Icarus somewhere other than the default that Steam uses, you will need to find the files starting with ...Icarus\Icarus... as per above
I have placed it in every icarus file testing and haven't had any luck, might just have to redownload with steam factory placement. Thank you for the help! Love your builds! The discriptive videos have helped take my builds to another level!
Hello, I installed and don't get the suit. I have the modules. armor and everything else. How do I get the suit? Thanks for all that you do!! I appreciate it.
The suit you have to purchase separately! This is explained in my videos, the 2 suits modded with extra stats are the Xigo-S5 and the Shengong Bihui suits.
Hey ho, Really Nice Mod , I Love it *.*. But how can i Activate the Weather again ? Every Time Sommer and Sun, are Boring, is there a Option to activate the Weater change again ?
You can get the mod at: github.com/laanp/Icarus_Mods/releases/tag/v1_w118 Also, I have separated a bunch of mods here: github.com/laanp/Icarus_Mods_Separated
If you are interested in modding, I have started a modding tutorial channel at: www.youtube.com/@Icarus-mods-laanp
WHEN LIGHTING OPTIMISATIONS ?! I put literally ONE light source in my base and frame rate dropped by 15-20%...
Nice, I tried adding new grouos to the workshop but couldn't figure it out. Going to have to have a look through yours :)
I issued a guide here… github.com/laanp/Icarus_Mods_Separated/blob/main/laanp-Icarus_Workshop_Kit_Mod_Guide.txt

for the week 118 update your miner pack modded items are not allowing me to activate them.
Thanks Miles, will have a look at what the issue is and drop an update shortly. Cheers!
Thank you brother. Have really enjoyed the game more still using your mods.
nice work! Had you noticed that the glass jars don't stack and that fiber now stacks 100-per instead of 200?
Thanks! The fiber is a good catch, will fix that, but the glass jars, along with other fillable containers were purposely made not to stack, because there is some unintended results if you combine full with empty jars, ie; they disappear, or full become empty and viceversa
I thought glass jars weren't fillable (with water) for about a year now. Is that what you're referring to? @@icarus-firstcohort-basebui9026

So my Icarus is in my local files and I can not find the pakchunk files what do I do to make this work?

You bet, just remove the “laanp-NoWeather” pak file from your mods folder and enjoy weather as usual! 👍
where do i get this mod?
