About
The Homestead Content Pack creates a new dimension of gameplay for the session-based survival hit *Icarus*. This premium expansion moves beyond mere survival, allowing contractors to construct elaborate, cozy rustic cabins amidst the alien wilderness. With over 50 new craftable items, it emphasizes architectural creativity and base personalization alongside the brutal resource management the game is known for.
Story
While Icarus is usually about quick extraction, the Homestead pack introduces the 'Homestead: Construction' operation, a narrative mission commissioned by the African Assembly. Contractors are tasked with building permanent, VIP-grade infrastructure in the Forest biome, turning rugged prospector drop zones into fully furnished, luxurious rustic lodges for future Operator investments.
Gameplay
This expansion deepens the construction meta, requiring players to utilize new crafting stations like the Decoration Bench and Concrete Furnace. Gameplay involves intense resource grinding—gathering wood, stone, and even gold—to manufacture high-end furniture and decorations. Players must balance the threat of dynamic storms and environmental hazards while meticulously designing interiors to meet specific Operator specifications.
