Overview[]

Prospectors face a host of challenges when they drop onto Icarus. They must maintain an adequate supply of Oxygen, Water and Food, craft Shelter from the planet’s storms, and survive encounters with the Fauna. Prospectors will need to rely on a wide range of resources: some they will find in the wild, and others they will make themselves. How prospectors master the use of these resources will determine their overall success during their limited time on Icarus.

Subcategories[]

Resources come in many forms and shapes; most occur naturally on Icarus, but many are crafted by prospectors:

Animal Resources

Animal resources are those gathered from the carcasses of Fauna. Prospectors use these resources to craft and build a number of Items, notably Tools and Weapons.

Crafted Resources

Crafted resources would not exist without the efforts of prospectors. Think of  Glass, which is a refined form of  Silica Ore, or  Gunpowder, which requires  Sulfur and  Charcoal. Crafted resources unlock a diverse range of crafting options for prospectors, and are often the precursors to more advanced items.

Minerals

Minerals are naturally occuring, geologic resources. Some, like  Stone, are useful as soon as they are mined. Others, however, must be refined in Furances. These are the metallic ores, like  Iron Ore. Minerals are used to craft Tools and Weapons, but also Drink Containers and Building Pieces.

Plant Resources

Plant Resources are the useful parts of Plantlife gathered and harvested by prospectors. For example,  Wood comes from Trees, and is used to craft Building Pieces and a variety of other Items.
