  I'm hoping you guys might add a sort of Land rover or motorized bikes we can build to drive over long haul terrain as maps get bigger? Maybe a multiple seat one for friends? That would be awesome!

  With how large the map is even just in the arctic area, I'm sure it's already a feature being discussed. But upon having to trek to the mammoth(twice) I think some sort of craftable vehicle would be very much appreciated, even just confirmation there will be one in full release. But some way to trek long distances without running the whole way would be amazing, maybe even just horses for early game and some sort of craftable vehicle later on. I feel with a 64km square map it's almost necessary.

  Adding a ruck frame to increase the weight capacity allowing the player to haul more ore out of the caves…

  Disagree, walking is what you do when you are exploring. Vehicles would make it too easy to get past the animals trying to kill you, this takes away the point.

  heck I would settle for a craftable jetpack that ran on biofuel to increase my ability to get around the map faster.

  There is definitely a vehicle in the trailer for the game... there is biofuel generation, there should be biofuel combustion engines. Or maybe even wind powered engines with batteries? I would like to see some creative ideas implemented.

  I think this game mostly realistic, if they want to stay on this track, there must be "something" for transportation. If i can make the Tier 4 staff like armor, c.bow, Electric devices. Why i cant make a roller, bicycle, cart or something to make transportation/movement better? (Tip: floating carrier from death stranding.)
  There must be an option for early, mid and late game, i think. (Sorry for my english )

  Hello, i have a suggestion.

  i've seen the trailer from a year ago. there are ZERO mutated animals aside from the worms in this game, like there were in the trailer. there is also no vehicles either, not even to unlock, like the trailer showed. i do not like the idea of having to start over each mission, with re-building EVERYTHING. i think that the planet should remain continuous. if you build a structure or crafting bench in the 1st mission, it should still be there in the 35th mission. the storms are annoying. they do nothing but force you to stop playing the game and hide in a cave or structure until it passes. GET RID OF IT, or get rid of the penalty for being out in it.
  
  in the trailer, the narrator mentioned that the spacesuit can filter out contaminants, so why am i getting dysentery from drinking water? why is it that i can swim underwater almost indefinitely (with enough Oxite), but i get hypothermia/pneumonia in a cave? it would make more sense for those symptoms to exist if there wasnt a spacesuit.

  It does feel incredibly stupid that an advanced space exploring civilization that goes around planets to do exploring in space suits would not have a single vehicle available to them. Not only did it seem to me in the trailer that there was some sort of vehicle it just straight up doesn't make sense to not have anything given the setting, in fact at this point the whole narative around the missions and such seems very forced/unbelievable given the very primitive tech that is available having to start from a wooden shack every single mission.
  
  I understand there are balancing aspects to take into account but at least make some animal tamable/ridable and attach a primitive cart or such to it to haul stuff around the map would already be an incredible QoL improvement. Then the animal could still be affected by storms/weather conditions and overheating etc. and vulnerable to attacks but just make it slightly more realistic....

  We really need some sort of transportation when you get to a point where you can go everywhere on the map, that would be very helpful and fun to use, i don't care if they are slow or hard to get, if they require lots of essences and also add some small but faster one like a 4 wheeler or a motor bike

  I play alone and is really tedious (lvl 35, 55h) i like the gameplay, but more of the missions you can do it with basic items and rushing. They need to do somenthing with the construction system, because many times you waste more time collecting and building than simply crafting what is necessary. It's boring and repetitive, but the game doesn't reward you for spending hours on it.
  
  Another problem is the maps, clearly with optimization problems that tarnish the game. But polo is a boring and totally wasted map, I understand that right now the bears are your gate keepers and you don't want to nerf them, but they are a bad joke. And the desert is another boring map but simply full of animals, I don
  
  I understand that the concept of the game is different and I repeat, I like it, but something is clearly wrong. Love the game, but unfortunately whenever I finish playing I have the feeling of having been wasting my time with this game (as much as it entertains me)

  Add:
  - Mounts (let us ride Buffalos, Deers) for more Space to Farm Materials/Exotics and faster Movement
  - Full accesable Orbit Station (for the Immersion, the simple Menu now is boring)
  - Car (same reason to add like the Mounts)
  
  - add a free creativve Mode with unlimited resources and change the Outpost Mode to a permanent Base mode with all the dangers of ICARUS (weather, wildlife, alien creatures), the new reason for the improved outpost mode is to make it rewarding to build a permanent base and let us grind exotic materials for the orbital workshop EXKLUSIVE in this Mode! WIth Drills and all that Stuff.
  
  On the other Hand, Missions be the Reason for get Upgrade Points (yellow ones).
  
  Sorry for the Bad English, but im 100% shure all this make ICARUS a better Game in Future. Especially a permanent base with a Reason to build it (exotics Material only in this Mode, good preparation neccessary to get it) is something most of the Players Want as Endgame.
  
  Good Game so far

  As map is quite big , could it possible do get some animals as mount ? Taming them at first and then craft gears and mount them.
  Elephants , Zebra , and probably some others could make it.
  
  Animals could be such a great use in the game , Porc to make bio fuel , fishes with a real fishing rod , mounts could be used as well with carts , defense , and so on , so much to make with those animals .

  When you first start playing Icarus, its okey to travel by foot. The general tasks are fast and easy to reatch. But at later missions, the distanses expand fast to 20-30 min walks just to reatch the task. And just walking around isent overly fun.
  
  So my suggestion is some sort of ATV or Motorcross bike you can print in orbit for a few resourses after a few drops. These vehicles could be fuled by biofule while on planet, as to not make them to overpowered.

  I know there's a motorcycle planned eventually. But something low tech, attainable, and just a tad faster than running speed would be perfect, like a simple wooden bicycle. Could be Tier 2/3.

• 23 Dec, '21
  Toasty Merged

  seeing as it can take a very long time to run across the map. I think something like an electric atv/motorbike/rover/ would be quite useful and seeing as tier 4 item/benches are already electric (with some more electric benches planned for future like the electric armor bench, electric stove etc) perhaps a new bench could be made for said electric vehicles also something to carry wood/stone/ores and stuff around in to would be very useful

  Just something, pleeeease. I am actually someone that enjoys grinding in games like these. I spent many many months in Ark getting all the materials for monster bases, love that stuff. However, here I have to run impossibly long distances for impossibly long times to get this farming done which is boring as all-hell. When I am required to spend 20 min of my rl time just running somewhere regularly, I get very very bored quickly.
  
  The game is awesome but it needs workshop vehicles to remove a lot of the boring bits that is going to drive away players less into grinding than I.

  I'd recommend that even if there's no drivable vehicles, at least an automated minecart or something to haul off each of the caves. If you are playing solo, it takes a very long time to mine out a cave, run it back to the base and go back to a cave right next to the one you just mined out. Having some kind of a drone or something that would carry the items back for you would be great.

  Add a 4x4 rover or ATV to tier 4 crafting. Getting around the map can be a pain especially when your gear is all heavy tier 3 and 4. Why not add a vehicle? Seems like a no-brainer.

  Having the ability to buy a dune buggy or a small vehicle in the workshop would be awesome. Once you land on icarus you can have the ability to craft a bow or maybe even a spear thrower that you can attach onto the vehicle. Allow 2 or 3 people to ride in it as well. Have the vehicle be able to store 5 items or so. The player would be able to haul wood, ore, carcasses back to the shelter along with what ever is on the character.

  Please please please add some kind of vehicle or mode of transportation. Literally every prospect we have done has so much traveling and it takes away the fun from the game. I would understand if some of the exploration ones require lots of traveling, but it isn't necessary for every prospect. Having some way to travel faster would make this game a lot more fun to play!

  They actually already have vehicles planned and they might possibly add them in the next few DLCs. They originally were going to have them at launch, but there were issues with the physics, so they opted to remove the vehicles.
  
  But just to point out what is already been said: At this stage, on the current map we have, vehicles would not be a good fit for the forest or riverland biomes. They would only be useful in the desert or artic boimes, as there isn't many things there that the vehicle can get caught up in.

  The Advanced Motorcycle could be something more like a German Kettenkrad, with rear track units and a single steering wheel. It'd be better on stuff like snow, as it behaves something like a snowmobile in those conditions, with its weight distributed mostly on the tracks.

  I saw in the ikarus trailer that they moved around the biome in a vehicle (car), and I would like to know if something similar will be added to the game for more experienced players, for example, for those who have completed 90% of the research would be available in the workshop transport for fast movement on any biome for a large amount of exomatter, it is clear that this is difficult to implement, but for those who have been playing for a long time it is not very pleasant to get 30-40 minutes of their time to the other end of the map, another 1 option for you is creation of a separate tree of talents for movement due to the distance traveled in the game itself.

  Sounds basic, but if we could start out by getting a wheelbarrow to help with the loads, and then upgrade to an ATV. This would be great. I read about someone suggesting a railroad system. Which would help out too. but ATV would be so fun!

  Aluminum could be fashioned into a rough 1 speed bicycle at a machining bench. The steel chain would wear out and need replacement over the distance and the frame would need a whack from the repair hammer when the bike ran into a tree or was bulldozed by a bear but it would lessen the pain of long treks. The military uses them with rucksacks.

  Hello, Icarus Devs. I love your game and I'm excited to see what you have plans for us in the future. I love that you have a weekly update for this game, I was wondering how soon we could be seeing any type of transportation if any in the future.
  I do have a few ideas of what I would like to see in Icarus like a 4-wheeler of some sort and a motorcycle would be cool with some storage space, but I know that your on a schedule and have to work very hard to make the weekly updates possible. once again Im very happy of what you've done with the game and cant wait to see what comes next. -a faithful player

  I have an idea for this futuristic/survival/adventure/kickass game. Would it be possible to introduce a small tracked ATV (nothing bigger) with backpack size storage to the tier 4 area of tech. As the map can be large, this mining heavy, it could introduce a different tactic to the game.

  I think adding some type of storage vehicle (Possibly like a Flinstones-Type Car or even a Wheelbarrow) would add some quality and comfort of use when it comes to mining or collecting multiple animal corpses to return to the skinning table. Similar to that of the Log Sled from The Forest. Technically, this could develop further into bio-fueled vehicles given that biofuel is already an aspect in Icarus (and even further with electricity?).
  
  I understand getting too advanced with vehicles could potentially take away from the feeling of Icarus, which is why even a low-grade wheelbarrow or cart would suffice.

  - Any kind of 2-wheeler or 4-wheeler for faster long distance travel (not sure how we'd make rubber wheels though).
  - Maybe some kind of glider or parachute to jump from high heights.
  Gliders would you make you cover more ground faster while parachutes would just go straight down.

  The game is great but having to run around for materials back and forth it can be mentally draining. Adding vehicles would be amazing, The game can be very sweaty sometimes and just adding 1 vehicle would most likely bring in more players. Bugs would also most likely occur but maybe only implicating it in outpost as exclusive limited time test event..... ELTTE just ideas. You could also just have it on servers only to diagnose bugs on the spot. Just ideas............ but add vehicles fr.

  When I picture an Icarus motor bike, I picture a minimalist, survival motor bike (see attached).
  - durability of the bike SLOWLY degrades with usage, perhaps at the same rate the generator uses biofuel. Uses Composites to "repair/maintain".
  - fuel is depleted during operation. could tie it to the same rate as the biofuel lantern.
  - Obviously runs on biofuel.
  - Able to hold 2 biofuel cans/other items that appear when loaded. Kind of like when you put materials on to a bench it appears on the bench. (also see attached)
  - Storage would match with 1 small metal storage box
  - perhaps starting it has the sound radius of a rifle shot, alerting predators and scaring non-predators. Wanna sneak? drive it, park it, hoof it.
  
  trying to suggest things with options of currently existing features to make the thought of it easier on the devs. Glad to see them still improving. :)

  Hello.. i just wanna say my disappointment... years ago i suggest dev to make Vehicle but no respond n then they choose mount, i try it n seem not functioning at all because: 1. my character can run fast than that animal. 2. my character can loot more. 3. Animal stamina is so so sooo low. 4. Cannot attack while mount. so what the meaning u create that something can't boost speed n loot better than character. If you make a vehicle we can fill it with fuel only.. no matter how much fuel we can make it..right now i can see mount is like for scenery only sorry to say but that the fact.

  I'd like to add my vote to include vehicles as well. I'm well aware that animal mounts are now part of the game, but to be honest, the method of acquiring mounts doesn't appeal to me. I get that it's a game, but slaughtering a family of animals then painstakingly inflicting "Stockholm syndrome" on the orphaned juvenile just doesn't click with me as a gamer. I mean, if raping a female character in a survival game to accomplish some in-game goal was a mechanic, or kicking homeless children off a building somehow gave me a sweet in-game buff, I wouldn't engage in any of those activities, either. I know, I know, I can already hear the MAGA-Gamers and the incel community deriding me about it "only being a game" and rabidly labelling me in any number of ignorant and cruel-spirited ways. but *shrug* it's only my two cents. If there were a way to craft even a small biofuel-powered transport or mechanized travel boost I'd happily grind a Tier 3 Item, since Tier 4 is a complete waste of time.

  Something I would like to see added to Icarus is more transport options. The things I would like to see added to Icarus are rowboats, horses, a medium exploration vehicle that has exterior and interior storage with a built-in oven and biofuel composter, carts, a robotic mount with built in storage that eats grass and produces biofuel, trains, and a way to make dirt and gravel roads. Thank you for considering my proposal, sincerely a loyal fan of Icarus First Cohort.

Let us "play" in space not only on ground missions. Let us build space ships in space. Ground missions is to get materials to space :)
  exotiocs is currency in space stations. Motivation behind currency game "reseach and buy" in space station is weak. Its My point - Motivation is WEAK in space station. BUY things in space station to make easier missions on ground and agian to buy items is like circle, but someting missing... People what we missing?
  maby we missing power from another world to impact this worlds survival rules???? it is like evolution through both words. when we go toanother world we impacting that world with something like materials, tehnology. Limiting power to impact or change another world - dismotivating to play? If you want change weather in "Outpost" build or buy in space station

  Vehicles would be awesome, but is almost too far. Walking long distances is somewhat tedious but it forces us to take in the scenery and animal life on the planet. Just some Cross Country skis, a canoe, and maybe something like a paraglider would feel excellent in Icarus. A paraglider or some other way down a cliff quickly would even be pushing it on the immersion though. Rappelling? I feel like anything motorized is a bit too far, but I suppose I won't have to build it if it ever gets added.
  
  I'm only 75 hours in so far and have really fallen in love with the game. I'm happy with or without vehicles, and can't wait for the scenery to go by with a little less stuttering.

  i don't know i think once Vehicles get added the hard survival feal goes out the window it will be too easy just to travel at least with animals you have to look after them feed them protect them and no matter what you get sloppy and they die and the cycle repeats a bike would just be put in a biofuel can and go not as fun

  A craft able cheap dirt bike not far outside what the tier 4 player is already doing. Having a mission or vehicle spawn on the map at first (you tease) then allow it to be used in other missions, Costly airdrop for a vehicle and yeah let it get hung up and damaged on everything.
  
  Already unseen drones that apparently crash all the time. I say have an event/mission the player may even miss of a vehicle being carried by a large drone, to go rescue it and find they cannot. As an imitation dynamic mission, player can be told yeah let's get that vehicle, but it may need fixed. but upon arrival well nope that's not getting fixed.

  Agreed, having some form of personal transportation (in addition to the taming update which recently came out) to traverse across the map faster (but with less or no carrying capacity) with less stamina consumption and being able to carry heavy loads (but at slower speeds) around the map. The above suggested vehicles sound relevant to current conditions.

  Tier 2 biofuel maybe ATV
  Tier 3 solar, but would only run during daylight hours.
  Tier 4 hybrid solar and biofuel so longer range
  truck version less passenger space but more cargo possibly with a modular bed so you could have a module like the saddle for mounts. module ideas cargo, freezer, and tech so you could do small workbench things out in the field.

  New player thought:
  
  Traversing deserts and the arctic is slower than it has to be with the amount of enemies that spawn. If you do vehicles, can you make them resistant to animal attacks?
