Plain-English Icarus weekly updates — translated for players and server admins. What's new, what got nerfed or reverted, and whether it touches anything you run.
# week 241 (build 154458) players 🟡 new gear, one revert admins 🟢 nothing changed type weekly content update
This one's for the players — admins, you can close the tab, nothing on your server changed. Week 241 adds a new launcher and two throwables, retires the Flare Gun, and quietly undoes last week's Steel Screw recipe change. No server settings, no config, no wipe. And before you ask: no, it did not touch the 90-point talent trees — the "talent" lines in the changelog are the blueprint tree, so our talent calculator is still accurate.
| What changed | What it means | 🎮 Players | 🛠️ Admins |
|---|---|---|---|
| New: Single Barrel Launcher (T2) | A new tier-2 launcher weapon to craft. | 🟡 New craftable | ➖ N/A |
| New: Crude Grenade + Smoke Bomb | Two new throwables added to the crafting list. | 🟡 New craftables | ➖ N/A |
| Flare Gun retired | Removed from the game — stop building your loadout around it. | 🟡 One less tool | ➖ N/A |
| Steel Screw recipe reverted | Back to 1 → 100 per craft (Week 240's change undone). | 🟡 Cheap screws again | ➖ N/A |
| Blueprint-tree shifts | Cloth & Leather Armor unlock earlier; Poison Paste loses its level requirement. This is the tech/blueprint tree — not the 90-point talent trees. | 🟢 Some gear sooner | ➖ N/A |
| Bag-weight & buff fixes | Minor bug fixes to carry weight and buff behavior. | 🟢 Quality-of-life | ➖ N/A |
