Player Tips & Tricks
- Icarus's crafting speed increases by 50% when burning Energy Shards as fuel. Applying Proliferator to the Energy Shards will increase the amount of energy they provide as well as the bonus crafting speed. With Proliferator Mk.III, each Energy Shard provides 25% more energy (4.50 MJ) and the crafting speed bonus doubles (from +50% to +100%).
- When using Energy Shards for additional crafting speed, try to avoid having Icarus do any other actions. Even things as simple as walking around or building things will consume additional energy, making each Energy Shard get used up faster.
- Farming the Dark Fog can provide a constant stream of Energy Shards, making it unnecessary to be as efficient with Energy Shards. It also proves useful in the endgame when large amounts of Energy Shards are required to create Re-composing Assemblers and Negentropy Smelters.
