Icarus is a survival game, which requires players to gather as many supplies as possible to help them on their journey. These would also include finding precious metals, like iron, gold, or copper. To get these materials you would have to be adept at finding caves. If successful in finding those hidden caves, you can get as many ores as possible to mine.
