Uses[]

  • Power Production Rate: 1 U/s

Once constructed, the Shelter acts as:

  • The hub of the player's base
  • The game saves each time the Shelter is entered
  • A respawn point in case of death (to act as a spawn, you must enter the Shelter at least once)
  • An infinite source of Oxygen and Power
    • The starting Landing Pad gives an Icon Oxygenator Oxygenator that can be moved and placed into the starting Shelter. However, Oxygenators in printed Shelters cannot be moved

The Shelter has two Tier-1 slots on its side to attach up to two items, as well as four power connectors to expand your base outwards

Notes[]

  • The Shelter cannot be moved or packaged with a Icon Packager Packager after it has been placed.
  • Shelters comes with a permanent Icon RTG RTG attached, which is unable to be removed. However, it generates a fourth of the power compared to the craftable RTG
  • Crafted Shelters include an Icon Oxygenator Oxygenator, the starting Shelter does not
  • There is also a mobile variant, the Icon Field Shelter Field Shelter, which is cheaper in production and smaller in size.
