Icarus
Thoughts on Promethius
I can see staff look at these threads, so firstly, well done. This map is fantastic. the work and effort you all put in to it clearly shows. I happily spent the $40 and have no regrets and think it is more than fair and a step in the right direction.

The change to open world and doing the stand alone missions is great. I gave up on them originally as I just got sick of rebuilding from scratch. I can see this map was also made with a vehicle in mind. Cant wait for the week that drops! I hope it'll be something like the cyclops from Subnautica, allowing me to outfit it with different crafting benches, I't be great to do fishing and cooking on the road to complete missions.

On that note, there is a bug with fishing traps, they do not count towards your fish catches. Which is a shame really. There is also a bug with the clay nodes after they are harvested, when the respawn, they cannot be broken anymore. They do still take damage and I used an entire hammers health bar to ensure i hit it enough times. It did not break apart.

Speaking of respawning, it'd be great if you guys introduced a machine we can place down, powered by bio fuel and seeds that will reseed an area allowing trees and fibre to regrow. I'm thinking along the lines of The planet crafter game where they have an area of effect as the open world starts to look a bit barren after a while, I guess this also opens up a new potential class and job title of "warden" which grants bonuses to the reseeding machines like farmers do to crop plots.

This new map has shown how much potential the game has. I'm still hoping we will get a space station type hub area where transitions and missions would be much more fun to engage with. There's a lot more I'd love to cover, but for the sake of brevity, I'll end it there. Thanks for the new map!

I also love the new map and the game feels like the game I wanted to play at release. I really hope they get the sales and this game grows.

There doe not appear to be any trophy's for the new creatures on the new map, hope that is coming soon.

And I see half the map is hidden/out of bounds. Wondering if they plan to 'increase' the size of the new map later on?

I hope the relaunch of the game goes well.

Prometheus: I was looking for traverses under the mountains from one area to another as in the Styx map. I found one, as I thought, but it ended in a blank. I am afraid the map feels unfinished.

Bugs are still present, but they are found and fixed.
Passages between the mountains can be found on the map https://www.icarusintel.com/
It says which caves are combined. The cave systems on Prometheus are even more varied than those on Styx.

It is unfinished. If you look at it on 3rd party map sites, there's about half the map (according to the Letter-Number grid) that's not there yet.

I assume it will be coming in the 2nd DLC expansion.
