The Prototype Weapon will begin shooting a laser and will destroy the avalanche in short order.
#ICARUS AVALANCHE EXPEDITION GENERATOR#
Return to the Biofuel Generator and turn it on. Then, head back down and place the Prototype Weapon. (Protip: you can delete wires by right-clicking on them.) Use the Electricity Tool to run a wire from your base to the rock where you have to place the Prototype Weapon. Fuel it up, but do not turn it on just yet. Deploy Prototype Weapon & Supply Power to the Prototype Weaponīuild the Biofuel Generator inside of your nearby base. Build a Wood stilt structure or a 2x2 Stone structure nearby - you're going to be attacked as soon as the avalanche is cleared. Once that's done, gather up some Wood, Fiber, and Stone, and head into the Arctic Pass. Set your spawn point to this new Bedroll. This will be your fallback point should you die while you're working in the cold.
Build Two More Basesīefore you go back into the Arctic Pass, build a small base right on the border and place a Bedroll inside. Retrieve the item, then head back to the Arctic Pass. Build 3 or 4 Wood Roof/Ramps and make an ad-hoc staircase to get up there. The Prototype Weapon you need to drill through the avalanche is located on top of a cliff. Retrieve Prototype Weapon from Supply Pod Before we go further, you'll have to turn back around. Getting through it, however, required all of the work you've done so far (and there's still some more to go).

Craft a full set of Fur Armor, a Longbow, and at least 50 Bone Arrows.Build an Electricity Tool at the Fabricator.Build a BIofuel Generator at the Fabricator.Collect and refine enough materials to make a Fabricator and build it at the Machining Bench.
Use Tree Sap and another item (such as Wood) to fill it up to its maximum. Place the Biofuel Composter in your base and put the Biofuel Can inside.Make Tree Sap at the Mortar and Pestle.Build a Biofuel Can at the Machining Bench.Build a Biofuel Composter at the Machining Bench.The process to get there, however, is a little complex. You'll be working towards the ultimate goal of building just three items. Getting to Tier 4 and Building What You Need You're going to need all of this stuff (and a lot of raw material) to build the three items you need to complete this mission.
Hunt animals where necessary and cook that delicious meat. Naturally, make sure to take care of your needs, too. Focus on collecting the following materials: You're going to need to do a lot of mining and gathering. Use this to make a Steel Pickaxe and destroy your old Iron Pickaxe afterward. Take the Steel Bloom you crafted earlier, toss it into the Concrete Furnace, turn it on, and you'll have 6 pieces of Steel. Then, make some Cement and use it to build a Concrete Furnace. Use the remaining 36 pieces of Iron and 6 pieces of Coal at the Mortar and Pestle to make Steel Bloom and store it away for now.Ĭontinue to collect Iron until you have enough Iron Ingots and Iron Nails to build the Machining Bench. Make 6 Iron Ingots and use those to make an Iron Pickaxe. Then, collect 48 pieces of Iron and 6 pieces of Coal from the cave near your base. Start off by collecting 80 pieces of Iron from the cave near your base. Make sure to kill any Cave Worms that pop up! You are going to need a lot of metal (and other materials) to make the items you need to complete this mission. Note the red triangles on the map for this Icarus Avalanche: Expedition Prospect Mission Guide - those mark nearby caves. Set your spawn point to the Bedroll and then get ready to start mining. Whichever way you decide to build your base, make sure to build the following items: Save yourself time and take the most direct route you can. You should also keep in mind that there are some areas that you cannot go through for some reason they're marked on the above map. You'll also have to worry about Thunderstorms and Flash Storms should one of these storms pop up, carve a hole into a rock and wait it out. Make sure to watch out for Wolves and Bears along the way. Don't delay - it will take you most of the day to get there. Then, refer to the above map and start heading to the Base Camp location. Start things off in the usual fashion and craft a set of basic tools: The difference here is that you won't be provided a power source this time - you're going to have to build it. The Icarus Avalanche: Expedition Prospect mission is going to play out a lot like the Dry Run: Expedition Prospect mission: you're going to be given a drill and will have to bust through some rock.
