  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.
  vehicles are very great for this game.

  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

  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.

  Some distances you have to travel are great vehicles would be a great addition

  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

  Even a "primitive" bicycle would be welcome. It would iron/etc to make and its powered by player stamina. no fuel or power needed.

  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.

  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!

  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 agree with the concept, but not the tier levels suggested. The listed items need the appropriate workbenches and sometimes fuel.

  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.
  
  Thank you for all your hard work!

  Even a basic vehicle would be highly appreciated. Heck! Even early explorers had pack animals and horses to ride on. A 64km map is kinda big and any kind of mount would be a great addition.

  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.

  Really tired of running so far for ores and other mission stuff have to make several trips most of the tine due ti small back pack and weight limit mabey a cart or something at least and mabey upgradeable backpack with more slots would be nice and mabey a motorcycle or some sort of vehicles would be nice or some sort of gyrocopter or even balloons mabey a sled for the snow and also i think some of the stations shouñd be more compatible being able to craft more things at the same workstations especually like the cooking thers too many cooking stations and yoy can onoy cook certain things at each inivodual station you have to grind lkke 15 hours to get end game foods not fun on missions that wipe

  - 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.
  - Gyrocopters
  - Ability to tame/ride horses or other animals

  Transport should be nothing more than carts and mounts. No motorized vehicles that take away from the survival part of the game. The majority of the community bought a SURVIVAL game nothing more. We deserve to have some preservation of the game we all love and bought.

  Wingsuits and hoverboards. Having something like a dune buggy or ATV would be fun for playing around in some biomes, but honestly seems like overkill for the game as it is today. Wingsuits and hoverboards, OTOH....
