Where to go

Objective approach

No per-difficulty item manifest is recorded for this guide. Follow the on-screen tracker, then use the notes below to decide what to stage before committing to the final hand-in.

• Read the objective tracker after every major interaction; many ICARUS prospects reveal the next step only after the current one completes.
• Stage resources at the hand-in or build site before triggering final timers, wildlife waves, or extraction travel.
• If the guide has a manifest above, build the Hard list first when possible; it covers lower-difficulty planning and avoids under-packing.
• Keep the return route open. A finished objective still fails the run if the crew cannot safely reach the dropship or delivery pod.

Preparation

• Start with a bedroll, campfire or shelter kit, oxygen and water storage, bandages, splints, and enough food to cover the full route.
• Assign one player to navigation and one to resource accounting so the crew does not duplicate long hauls or miss a delivery line.
• Use the loadout list below as the minimum kit, then add mission-specific tools before launch.

Hazards and controls

• No special hazard is recorded, so default to storm shelter, wound treatment, spare tools, and enough ammunition for unexpected predators.
• Long travel remains the risk: mark caves, water, and emergency shelter locations as you move.

Execution checklist

• Before drop: confirm prerequisite unlocks, mission timer, loadout, and who carries shared deployables.
• On landing: locate water, set a respawn point, and confirm the first objective marker before building a permanent base.
• Mid-run: consolidate loot and mission items at one marked cache; keep one repair kit and medical stack on each player.
• Before extract: verify every optional delivery, reward unlock, and follow-up objective is complete before leaving orbit-side cargo behind.

Hints & tips

Be cautious of Crocodiles while swimming in the lake. Backpeddling while swinging below the Crocodiles mouth can help dispatch them quickly. The 'Insatiable Bloodclaw' is resistant to ranged damage, moves fairly quickly, and poisons on hit. Explosive ammunition or Larkwell Martinez Ballistic Arrows are highly recommended. Fish caught in Basic Fishing Traps/Advanced Fishing Traps will count toward the objective but not towards the Bestiary. To attach a lure to a fishing rod, hold R while holding a Wooden Fishing Rod/Refined Wood Fishing Rod (a list of actions can be viewed at the bottom right while holding a fishing rod). Instructions on how to use a fishing rod can be found here. Locations for each vegetable can be found on their pages. Using a Sickle is recommended as it will increase the amount received when harvesting, allowing Prospectors to complete the objective without the need to create crop plots.
