We host all of our Icarus servers on our modified TCAdmin v2 platform. This proven, powerful control suite offers the best in server management capability.

Icarus is a brutal, session-based survival game that has evolved into a massive, persistent experience. You play as a Prospector dropping from orbit to forage, hunt, and mine for Exotics on a terraformed planet that wants you dead.
The newest chapter, Dangerous Horizons, introduces Elysium—a 64km² map warped by radiation. With the Kepler update's building overhaul, you can now construct complex bases using curved walls and domed roofs, or utilize the new Hoverframe to cross the tundra. From the first stone pickaxe to Lithium-powered industrial tools, every drop is a choice between calculated risk and total loss.
Having a dedicated server for Icarus is essential for serious Prospectors. In local peer-to-peer hosting, the world disappears when the host logs off. Our servers stay online 24/7, ensuring your Open World and Operations remain active so your team can gather resources, process Uranium, and fortify bases at any time.
Our infrastructure is specifically tuned to handle the high-resource demands of the Kepler update. Icarus is notoriously CPU-intensive, particularly during forest fires or when managing complex Tier 5 automation. We utilize high-clock speed processors and NVMe SSDs to eliminate the "save-stutter" and frame drops common in local hosting, providing a smooth, lag-free experience across all maps including Olympus, Styx, Prometheus, and Elysium.
Our Icarus servers are built for players who want total control. While Icarus does not feature native Steam Workshop support, our platform is fully optimized for manual mod installation, giving you the flexibility to reshape your survival experience.
Whether you are using the Icarus Mod Manager to add quality-of-life improvements or manually deploying custom .pak files to tweak game mechanics, we provide the tools you need. We offer Full FTP Access and a web-based File Manager, making it easy to upload your preferred mods from trusted community sources, manage your configuration files, and customize your server’s ruleset. From simple gameplay tweaks to complete balance overhauls, you have the freedom to build the exact Icarus world you want.
