Icarus Week 220 Update | Mendel

Welcome to Week 220.

The Free Mendel Update is out today. This update introduces genetics to every mount and tame in the game, new farm animals, talent trees and animal husbandry.

In addition to this free patch we are releasing the Homestead Cosmetic DLC pack which introduces over 50 new items as well as many functional variants of existing items to let you customize your base aesthetic.

We explain more down below.

---

A major evolution is here for creatures with new Genetics and Husbandry mechanics. This system now brings deeper progression, individuality, and long-term planning to your tames and mounts.

This update introduces unique genetics for every creature. Each tamed animal and mount now has its own genotype, phenotype, bloodline, and sex; allowing stats and traits to vary and making every creature truly unique. These elements can all be seen when inspecting a creature.


[h5]Raw Stat Increases[/h5]

Genotypes are attributes that can enhance or reduce a creature’s base stats, with each attribute influencing multiple core stats. The initial set includes Vigor, Fitness, Physique, Reflex, Toughness, Adaptation, and Instinct. Attribute values range from 1–10, with 3 representing the baseline creature stats. Values below 3 reduce stats, while values above 3 increase them. Wild creatures will generally generate around this baseline with some natural variation.

[h5]Skin Variations[/h5]

Some creatures (currently only Moa and Buffalo) now feature new skin variations, making them visibly more distinct from one another. These changes reflect natural diversity, with noticeable differences in coloration, patterns, and markings that give each individual a unique appearance. More creatures will receive similar updates in future releases, expanding the variety of naturally diverse looks across the world.

[h5]Growth Stats[/h5]

Bloodlines are special traits that grant new stats as creatures level. For example, the [Wild] bloodline slightly increases food and water consumption and gives attacks a chance to inflict the minor hemorrhage debuff. This chance increases every five levels.

The current available bloodlines from most common to rare {Wild, Brave, Careful, Timid, Bold, Hardy, Stout, Ambitious, Resolute, Unstable, Savage and Alpha}.

[h5]Creature Variations & Husbandry[/h5]

Some creatures have their traits' effects and skill trees change based on their sex. For example, cows and bulls differ in both appearance and abilities. Cows are female, can produce milk, and graze, while bulls are male and can be saddled and used as mounts. The differences between sexes also enable mating, allowing offspring to inherit traits from their parents.

Existing mounts from before the update will retain their current stats until players choose to opt in by using the new Reveal Genetics button. Any mounts or tames acquired after the patch will automatically have their genetics revealed upon capture or taming.

This is just the beginning genetics and husbandry are designed to grow over time, offering new strategies, customization, and meaningful creature progression.

---

Alongside genetics, Husbandry opens the door to breeding and raising animals. Using a special serum crafted at the chemistry bench, players can enable males to fertilize females as long as they are well fed and cared for.

Once fertilized, females enter a gestation phase, with progress displayed through the UI and chat messages. This gestation phase differs for each animal and can be modified with both player talents, creature talents and the new Animal Nesting Bed.

After gestation, the mother will give birth to a juvenile creature, then enter a recovery period before they can breed again.

Juveniles will inherit attributes from both parents, laying the foundation for selective breeding and long-term optimization. Additional gestation requirements and subtle behavioral changes during fertilization, pregnancy, and recovery are also being introduced to make the system feel more alive and believable.

The current list of creatures that can be bred are as follows

• Moa
  
• Buffalo
  
• Chickens
  
• Sheep
  
• Pigs
  
• Cows

---

The Mendel update also introduces a few new creatures, each offering unique experiences.

The pig is a brand-new creature. While typically a farm animal that can be butchered for bacon, it can also gain the talent to dig up Truffles - a new crop in Icarus - as it levels up.

The ram is a new domesticated creature and the male counterpart to the sheep. Rams are required for producing offspring, making them a key part of your flock. Sturdy and resilient, they are a practical addition to your homestead and expand the new genetics and husbandry systems.

The bull arrives as the male counterpart to the cow, offering a unique combination of strength and utility. Bulls can be saddled and used as mounts, making them valuable for travel, hauling, and even combat situations. Their size and power make them more durable than cows, and their temperament provides a reliable companion for exploration and work on your homestead.

In addition, in the orbital workshop you can now choose to purchase male or female versions of the juvenile farm creatures (chick, calf, piglet and lamb) which should help when starting to get into husbandry.

---

[h4]+ 10 Respec Points[/h4]

To complement the new genetics and husbandry systems, we have added a brand-new talent tree focused on these mechanics.

The skill tree provides bonuses for finding creatures with rare genotypes (stats), phenotypes (skins), and bloodlines (growth-affecting stats). It also increases mutation chances during breeding and includes special talents that creatures can gain after fertilization. For example, a male’s Sire Vigor can boost damage and movement speed, while a female’s Maternal Instincts provides resistance bonuses to nearby juveniles. Reaching the bottom of the tree also grants a chance for your creatures to birth twins.

To support the new talent tree, all players will receive free 10 talent refund points to allocate as they see fit. Additional Talent reset points can always be bought in the workshop.

---

You can now remotely control pets and mounts with the introduction of Whistles.

Five new keybinds allow you to remotely control a single tamed creature or all nearby creatures. Supported actions include toggling stay/follow and cycling through combat and movement behaviors.

Most of the new whistles target the tame you are currently looking at, while others affect all creatures within a nearby radius. Currently, whistles only work on mounts that you have personally claimed.

In the future, we plan to expand this system with a radial menu for easier access. For now, enjoy the new functionality and let us know if there are any additional controls you would like to see added.



We’ve removed the ability to create prime meats directly on the Butchery Bench. This feature was introduced in a previous patch, but we found that being able to generate prime meats from nothing made hunting less meaningful and reduced an important part of the game.

To replace this, we have added new recipes for farm animals. You can now butcher pigs, cows, bulls, chickens, roosters, sheep, and rams to obtain specialty meats.



Deployables that have multiple variations will now display this information in their tooltip, field guide page, and associated blueprint talent.

With the introduction of many new cosmetic items in the Homestead Content Pack, we felt it was time to improve the user experience around how variations are shown. This change makes it much easier to see at a glance which items can have their style swapped using the 'R' key.



Another long-requested improvement has been added: players can now open and close doors while riding a mount.

This quality of life change applies to standard doors, railing gates, and fortification gates. It allows for smoother movement around settlements and keeps gameplay flowing without having to dismount, making exploration, farming, and combat feel more seamless.



The electric food trough and omni-feed have received an overhaul. Previously, omni-feed granted 200 food to animals and stacked to 100, making it quite powerful - especially since it could be crafted from any plant or meat based item.

To address this, the electric food trough has been converted into an auto-crafting machine that produces four types of animal gruel: fruit, vegetable, meat, and fish, using tag-based crafting. Each gruel provides 100 food, stacks to 25, requires more ingredients than omni-feed, and grants small buffs to animals. The trough can still be used as a baseline device to keep creatures fed, but it is now much more balanced.

Omni-feed still exists but is now craftable at the animal bench with the appropriate recipe and stacks only to 25.



We have added the ability to unclaim tames and mounts, allowing you to give creatures to your friends and let them manage their leveling and control. To unclaim a creature, simply click the new button in the bottom left corner of the UI when interacting with it.

---

Along side today's free Mendel update we have also released a new content pack with many new cosmetic items and functional reskins of existing items. The whole pack consists of over 50 new items which can be used to make your base feel more like a home. These include:

• New Variants of Existing Benches and Furniture

• Exterior Decorations to customize your house from afar

In addition, as requested in the Reddit AMA, we will also be added a Beehive Starter Pack which can be purchased from the Orbital Workshop which allows players to bring bees and honey to their outposts.
