Icarus Week 245 update adds Tusker breeding and phenotypes
Icarus' Week 245 patch, build 3.0.23.155919-rel-DangerousHorizons, expands animal husbandry with breedable Tuskers. The four-eyed frost-biome beasts are no longer just mounts: craft the Tusker Serum at the Ranching Station, administer it to two healthy adults, and you'll have more baby Tuskers than you can handle.
Tusker phenotypes
Seven distinct Tusker phenotype variations are available to discover, collect, and breed, including one legendary. The changelog lists six newly unlocked phenotypes, plus new Tusker husbandry behaviors and the Tusker Fertility Serum item.
Next week: Tier 3 Metal Weapon Rack
Next week's update adds the Tier 3 Metal Weapon Rack as another way to store and display prized gear while matching your base's design.
