Icarus resources to collect first

"ICARUS is a PvE survival game for up to eight players. Explore a savage wilderness in the aftermath of terraforming gone wrong" - What Steam says about it

OK, after a bumpy ride you are on the ground and the only thing you have is a space suit. You need to start collecting resources. 

You'll need to collect resources to first build tools and a weapon. Make:

• A stone axe - Level 1. Requires 4 sticks, 4 fibre, 6 stones
• A stone pickaxe - Level 1. Requires 4 sticks, 4 fibre, 6 stones
• A stone knife - Level 1. Requires 4 sticks, 4 fibre, 6 stones

Item	About
Sticks	You'll find these lying on the ground or can get them from small trees. Stack size 100
Stones	You'll find these lying on the ground or can get them from boulders using a pickaxe once you have one. Stack size 100
Fibre (OK US - Fiber)	Collect fibre from all sorts of bushes, including those bearing berries, and ground plants such as ferns. Stack size 200

Plant	Details
Berry bush	Provides 4 food and 2 water when consumed. May also be used with seeds to make seed and berry bars. You'll need 10 seeds and 10 berries for each bar. The bars last a lot longer in your inventory without spoiling. Harvesting will also give you a small amount of fibre. If you harvest with a sickle then you'll get fibre but no berries. Stack size 100
Soy Bean bush	The beans can be eaten raw or cooked and boost health. Using a sickle to harvest them gets you increased yield. Stack size 100
Pumpkin	Can be eaten raw but better cooked. Increases stamina and health. Easy to spot.
Watermelon	Provides 50 food and 60 water. Increases stamina and decreases water consumption. Stack size 20. Easily missed on the ground.

Wood

You should make an axe to cut down trees to get wood although it is possible to use a knife. A knife won't last long though.
Each blow with an axe uncreases your experience points. You get 25 Xp using a stone axe, 50 Xp with an iron or steel axe, 75 Xp with a cold steel axe and 80 Xp with a Titanium axe.

Fur, leather, meat and bones

Killing any animal other than bugs will allow you to collect meat, leather and bones. Some also give you fur (even the moas which are birds). The fur provides bedrolls and cold resistant clothing, the leather is used to make tools, clothing,shelters and armour. The meat can be cooked or dried to provide a longer lasting food.   The bones are used to make ground bone which is then used to make other products

Once you've killed an animal, select your knife and hold E to skin the animal and harvest its products. Alternatively you can select a different tool and pick up the animal, carry it to your base and use a skinning table to extract more.

Fish

There are a number of different fish in the game which can be harvested. Some will attack you but these are easy to kill with a knife. Other fish will run from you and can be caught with a fishing rod or using a bow and arrow which is probably quicker. When using a bow aim directly at the fish making no allowance for refraction. The fish will float to the surface where they can be collected by pressing E. The fish chunks collected can be eaten raw or cooked.

Water

You can drink water from lakes, rivers, streams or pools found in caves. You can also get water from watermellons or berries. If you are using a waterwheel later in the game you'll find it collects sponges which will provide two water.

When you start the game you'll be told your suit is capable of filtering water to keep you safe but later in the game you may find contaminated water gives you dysentery. There are a variety of water purification methods later in the game. One of these is a water filter which can be plugged in to a water plumbing system and uses charcoal as fuel.

Water can be stored in a waterskin (replenishes your water 4 times), a canteen (replenishes your water 20 times) or a thermos. With a thermos you can add coffee beans, cocao beans, gorse flowers or tea to make hot drinks which warm you and boost stamina

Most of the caves contain pools of water. The image above shows a biofuel water pump providing water to a base outside the cave.

Oxite (Oxygen)

Throughout the game you'll need to gather oxite to provide you with oxygen. There are three sources of this:

Deposit	Details
Oxite deposit	Found scattered on the ground as three oxite stones which can be picked up using 'E' (or F if you didn't change that.)
Oxite ore	An ore rock which needs a pickaxe to collect it.
Deep ore deposit	You'll need a biofuel or electric deep-mining drill to extract oxite from these deposits

Ores

You'll need to mine ores in the game and then smelt them at your base

Ore:	Smelting requires at least:
Iron ore	Stone furnace
Copper ore	Stone furnace.
Aluminium ore	Concrete furnace
Gold ore	Concrete furnace
Platinum ore	Concrete furnace
Titanium ore	Concrete furnace
Coal ore	Not extracted. Used as fuel and for making steel bloom.
Silica ore	n/a Not found in caves apart from deep ore veins.
Sulphur ore	n/a Not extracted. Not found in caves apart from deep ore veins.
Oxite ore	Not extracted. Not found in caves apart from deep ore veins.
