Icarus Week 227 makes the Repair Bench easier to read and use
RocketWerkz also fixed a handful of bugs, trimmed some VRAM usage, and said Workshop Ruby is coming next week alongside new Lithium Ore support.
Icarus Week 227 is live on PC with a focused set of quality-of-life changes for the Repair Bench, plus a few fixes across the wider game. RocketWerkz said the goal was to make bulk repairs clearer, easier to manage, and less confusing when a player is missing the right materials.
The update also follows the same steady cleanup cadence seen in earlier weekly patches like Week 217, with smaller fixes folded in around the main Repair Bench work.
The biggest change is the Repair Bench itself. The old Repair All button has been renamed Repair Equipment, and the bench now groups armor, workshop items, and everything else under a clearer bulk-repair flow. Repairs also now include items stored inside the Repair Bench inventory, not just what the player is carrying or wearing.
When a repair fails, the UI now shows the missing resources in one place instead of forcing players to check each item one by one. That even applies to requirements like electricity. RocketWerkz also changed the interface so blocked actions stay visible but disabled, with hover text explaining why they cannot be used. On top of that, the durability cutoff for bulk repairs is now exposed as a slider, so players can choose when an item should be ignored.
Outside the Repair Bench, Week 227 fixed meteor showers happening less often than expected, improved text scaling for readability, optimized some VRAM use by removing old 4K textures and fixing compression on several assets, corrected Lithium and Ruby Ore tags so they can be used on signs, and fixed a network cable inspection bug that could show a false not connected to network message.
RocketWerkz also said next week will bring Workshop Ruby, along with the new Lithium Ore, so players can carry more advanced items to other maps outside of Elysium.
