Introduction

Project Icarus is end-game content.

With the Icarus system you can Repair and maintain damaged Space stations by sending repair kits to them; once rebuilt, they will deflect solar energy to the planet surface.

you can then use that energy to generate Compressed Steam to run the Super HV Turbines.

Getting Started

Getting started with Icarus requires you to have unlocked Tier 7/8 in the game.

Repair kits will need to be sent into space to keep the Icarus Ray deflector in space in working order.

You can send the different Repair kits to the deflector in space using an Icarus Rail Gun.

Buildings:

Icarus Receiver

This building converts the collected energy from the orbital satelite and converts it to heat, which is used to make Compressed Steam. It will become active once the Ray Deflector has enough repair kits and is green in the Icarus Receiver UI.

Once activated, Water can be piped into the building and converted to Compressed Steam. Compressed Steam can then be piped to the Super HV Turbines.

The building only works in the daytime and will go into standby mode at night. It is advised that power storage is used to handle the nighttime period.

Property	Value

The Compressed Steam it produces is the same high-grade steam as the Modular Reactor, so it feeds the Super HV Turbine (the only turbine that accepts Compressed Steam) for power.

Icarus Rail Gun

The Rail Gun keeps the orbital reflector alive by launching Repair Kits. It has a charge-up period, once enough power is stored it releases a surge of energy to shoot the repair kits into space.

Repair Kits:

Repair Kits are the Rail Gun’s ammunition. There are four tiers, each crafted in a Manufacturer/Assembler and yielding 2 kits per craft. Higher tiers use more advanced parts.

Tips

Keep a steady supply of Repair Kits feeding the Rail Gun. If the reflector isn’t maintained, the receiver loses its light source.
The Rail Gun needs stored power charge to fire, so give it a stable grid connection.
Pipe the receiver’s Compressed Steam into a Super HV Turbine the same way you would the Modular Reactor's steam.
