Icarusis a session-based survival game with time-locked Prospects. Early on you're constantly building oxygen setups, throwing up shelters, and weathering storms — the actual "pure farming" window is tiny. For working players with only 1–2 hours a day, grinding gold manually has terrible ROI. Picking up some starter Ren / Exotics frees up your limited playtime for the fun parts: cave runs, build experiments, and pushing deeper content.
