If you are fairly new to the world of ICARUS, then learning how to survive in a hostile environment would be a daunting task. In the game, you would have to build yourself a shelter to give your character some rest and to face the next day.
How to make Doors and Windows in Icarus
It is crucial to build some sort of shelter in game to rest, in order to face the grueling terrains and challenges for the next day. Building doors may look like a simple enough task to do on your own, but it is quite tricky when doing it for the first time. This guide may help you overcome that.
How to Build Doors in Icarus
In order to build a door, you will have to first unlock it. You can check if it is unlocked by going to the Tech Tree and checking if the door in Tier 1 section is available. You will then need the other parts to fix the door, namely the Thatched Floor and the Thatched Beam. After this, you will be able to unlock the Thatch Wall, which will help you unlock 3 more items, i.e., the Thatch Window, Thatch Door and Thatch Wall Angled. If you are going to unlock the Wood Wall, you will get the exact three items in Wood form. You have to unlock the wall in order to get the door.
After this, all that’s left is to find the items required to craft the door. The recipe for the door is 4x Sticks and 10x Fiber.
Next, click on crafting and click on Thatched Wall. You will find that you can craft a Thatched Door. Drag the items needed and place it in the lower toolbar from inventory. Select the area where you would like to place the Thatched Wall. Hold down ‘R’ key and select the door frame. You can now make adjustments on how to place the door and the opening angle. You will find a yellow arrow that points to the inside or outside, which changes the wall movement. Now all that’s left is to click on the door from the toolbar and have it placed on the newly crafted wall. Your door is now working and ready for use.
How to Build Windows in Icarus
In a similar process, while placing a wall, you can use the R button. This will show up the blueprints required to place window frames. All that’s left is to build a window and place it in the window frame.
And that’s it! Here’s how you can easily create working doors and windows for your shelter to help you cope in the game.
