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

• Severe weather / storms.: plan a countermeasure before leaving the initial safe zone; do not wait until the tracker sends you across-map.

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

• Forecast: Pulse — expect periodic storm spikes; plan movements between pulses.
• Sticks can be thrown at the mines as they do one damage each and will detonate the mine upon impact.
• Prospectors will need to power the Data Storage Communicator with 10,000W of power when they reach the outpost in the marshlands.
  • 2x Biofuel Generators or 5x Portable Biofuel Generators will provide enough power
  • Make sure to bring an Electricity Tool to wire up the device, and any Biofuel Cans needed to power generators.
• The Data Storage Communicator will need to be powered and defended for a full 10 minutes.
  • 2x Solar Panels could provide enough power, but due to the location of the Outpost, it can be difficult to get consistent sunlight.
  • If Solar Panels are to be used, it's best to start the device in the morning to avoid power loss or supplement with an Advanced Battery Rack that is pre-charged.
• Prospectors will also be asked to build a Portable Beacon, which can be done prior to arriving at the location.
• It is recommended to loot the base PRIOR to placing the Beacon for reasons that will become apparent at the end of the mission.
