Moding?

[Kosm1cznY]

Do this game have any moding possibility? Or do dev consider adding moding?

[Remedial Tester]

Already does. The modding community (or at lest one of them) goes by Linkarus on Discord

However, there is a big and main problem. The vast majority of mods bring nothing but problems and unpredictable bugs or crashes.

That's a little pessimistic, but the overall message certainly bears repeating. Weekly updates mean you never know when everything's going to break. One week, I logged in after the update and all my walls and ceilings were gone. Another time, my huge stash of ~stuff~ was diminished greatly.

If you still want to use mods, then you should start with JimK's Mod Manager, especially if you plan on using more than one mod; it handles any conflicts for you by letting you choose which conflicting value(s) you want to go with. It also lets you directly download a bunch of mods by different people from GitHub and lets you keep them up-to-date.

For the über-masochist, there's also a mod editor. *Shudder*

This is not pessimism, I’m already tired of answering various complaints from people about ‘various problems’ with Icarus (even crash), when in the end it turns out that they have mods installed that ultimately become their cause,
because others simply do not have such problems.

PS You yourself very well described one of the characteristic bugs - ‘disappearance of the house’.

As long as you keep your mods up to date there are almost no problems. I've been playing with mods for a long time and have had almost no problems. If someone says they only cause problems, they have never really tested mods or have only used outdated ones.

What can I say? I'm one of the masochists that plays with the mod editor. :-)

Good to see that there is ability to mod this game.
So as I see some experienced mod users, I have a question. Is thera a mod that makes movement feel more inertia based?

I am spoiled gamer and I also like immersion feel in survival games. And the most spoiling game for me is Escape From Tarkov which is one of the best FPP games in terms of movement feel in game. (There are also some TPP games with great inertia movement of course)
Subnautica as sIcarus have similar stiff woody movement feel. Like instant 100% speed and stopping on a dime. I trully hate such sick arcade movement in games.
One of games that I moded myself to get rid of this awful game mechanics was Dying Light.
There is a chance that if game is modable then this values can be tweaked.
Values like time to accelerate/decelerate.

So to my question. Is there a mod or a way to tweak those values?

[Bad-Boyz69]

Unfortunately I don't know anything in this direction

I haven't seen a mod that does anything like you describe. Whether or not it's possible given the limited tools we have, I don't know. While I poke around with this stuff, I'm nowhere near knowledgeable enough to be considered a real modder.

If you're willing to go near the cesspit that is Discord, there's a channel the Icarus modders seem to use where you might be able to get help. I don't, so couldn't even tell you what it's called, but others have posted the link numerous times in this forum; search is your friend. :-)

Here is a video on a tool that will help you to find, install, and manage mods

nah, not really its just factual. Games that get updates a lot. FFS this game has had like 100+ updates in just like 2 years lol. Are bad for modding. Modders give up due to having to over work them selves. There might be great mods, but half the time with games like this, they no longer get worked on ever again as the modder gives up.

[Remedial Tester]

Good thing most of mod updating for Icarus is like 90% automated for mod makers. But yeah a lot of early mod makers are gone, as the tools we have now didn't exist yet.
