2.3.0.8 released

New steam parts such as a steam drive-shaft propeller. A turning jet for missiles and some bug fixes. Large rudder pieces and some new armour / decorative pieces. APS and CRAM cannons can now aim to lob shells in high artillery arcs. v2.3 [Add] : Added high arc options to CRAM cannons as well v2.3 [Add] : 2 parameters: start delay and fuel budget(in % of total fuel on missile) v2.3 [Add] : New component: turning thruster. Gives 2.5x as much turning force as a fin in the same position, not affected by air density, uses fuel. v2.3 [Add] : Only engages when the angle to the target is above 10, has a 5 inaccuracy v2.3 [Add] : Uses up 1 fuel tank in 5 seconds v2.3 [Add] : Updated the UI to the new format v2.3 [Add] : Non PRB shaders now use triplanar mapping for structural components, like the PBR shaders do v2.3 [Add] : Propeller shaft: new type of shaft, used after a reduction gear and allowing to connect a propeller to the steam engine v2.3 [Add] : Reduction gear: can be connected to any shaft block or propeller shaft block. It manages the transition between the steam engine and the propeller rotation speeds, the more you add, the more responsive the propeller is v2.3 [Add] : Sealed propeller shaft: it is a 2m long propeller shaft which allow you to place any other block in the second part, allowing you to seal your ship while letting the propeller shaft going through v2.3 [Add] : Shaft bearing block: increase the max safe rotation speed of the assembly v2.3 [Add] : Shaft shift-axis: allow to shift the axis of the shaft by one meter (must be connected to a standard shaft block, not a crank or even a propeller shaft) v2.3 [Add] : Steam-propellers: specific propellers which must be attached to a shaft propeller. It cannot rotate faster than the rotation speed of the main shaft, and its speed is reduced if the steam engine do not provide enough energy v2.3 [Add] : When you move or resize a UI element (of the new UI system), those changes are saved (for a resolution and font size) v2.3 [Add] : You can swap tabs in the new UI system by pressing [ and ]. They keys are remappable v2.3 [Change] : New target type options: missile only, cannon shell only or everything v2.3 [Change] : Explosion force against missiles reduced even more, 50% of the previous value(only the pushing force, damage dissipation comes later) v2.3 [Change] : M interceptor base damage up from 800 to 1000 v2.3 [Change] : Regulators give 100% of the base lifetime instead of 50% v2.3 [Change] : S missiles take more damage from interceptors(80-100 from a small one) v2.3 [Change] : Turnrate now isn't reduced below 100 m/s v2.3 [Change] : 3 firing modes adjustable on the controller: Continuous, Salvo, Full salvo v2.3 [Change] : Continuous: is the current behavior, fire 1 missile on a trigger pull. Fire all at once if stagger is 0. v2.3 [Change] : Full salvo: same as salvo, but won't start firing until all launchpads not missing a gantry are fully loaded. v2.3 [Change] : Salvo: fire every missile of every launcher once on a trigger pull. Also stops if it can't fire missiles in a stagger step. Fire all at once if stagger is 0. v2.3 [Change] : Overhaul of the way the rotating blocks takes damage, any rotating block can now be damaged (not only the pistons) v2.3 [Change] : The gears maximum safe rotation speed will now decrease when rotating components are added to it. Using cased cranks is better, shaft bearing blocks even increase the max safe rotation speed of the assembly v2.3 [Change] : Part of the propeller shaft weight is now added to the total assembly weight, depending on the command sent to the propeller (0: no weight added, 1: full weight added) v2.3 [Change] : The blocks descriptions better describe how they are connected to each other (an update of the steam build help will be done at some point) v2.3 [Change] : The friction coefficient applied to the main assembly is now only based on the number of reduction gears v2.3 [Change] : The medium propeller of the small gearbox has been removed v2.3 [Change] : The propeller shaft blocks are now a lot more durable and should resist against most explosions v2.3 [Change] : The propeller shaft can now rotate faster than the engine shaft, by x1.5 per reduction gear v2.3 [Change] : The propeller shaft now need less energy from the steam engine in order to reach its maximum rotation speed, it depends on the number of reduction gears v2.3 [Change] : The propeller shaft texutre is now different from the engine shaft texture to help differentiate them v2.3 [Change] : The propellers are less heavy v2.3 [Change] : The propellers now consume some (very few) of the energy generated by the steam engine v2.3 [Change] : The tooltip indicating the state of the steam engine now display more information and is a lot more readable v2.3 [Change] : There is now a mirrored version of the large reduction gear v2.3 [Change] : Transition to the shaft added to the propeller models v2.3 [Change] : All fragmentation warheads now create an actual cone of fragments instead of a square-base pyramid v2.3 [Change] : Fragments are now evenly distributed (on average) instead of concentrated at certain directions v2.3 [Fix] : Ejectors are now properly attached to the large gantry and don't glow red showing an apparent 'disconnection' v2.3 [Fix] : Fixed bug in interceptors that causes it to destroy all enemy missiles v2.3 [Fix] : Fixed turrets with missiles using the wrong information for aiming v2.3 [Fix] : Gantries need to have the same forward direction as launch pads in order to connect. Fixes some issues with large rail missiles v2.3 [Fix] : Missiles are no longer assumed to inherit the velocity of the parent vehicle for aiming v2.3 [Fix] : Torpedoes no longer consider gravity for aiming v2.3 [Fix] : Torpedoes now use the correct speed when aiming v2.3 [Fix] : The 1m propeller is now working as intended v2.3 [Fix] : The propeller shaft weight is now initialized correctly, so the shaft won't lose rotation speed each time a steam block is added anywhere v2.3 [Fix] : The small sealed propeller shaft now works as intended

Summary

In From the Depths you can build and take first-person command of battleships, planes, submarines, space ships, hot air balloons and more! The game is currently in alpha and contains a wide range of single player content including:

A creative mode allowing you to push your designs to the limit and ensure the total annihilation of your opponents.
A campaign waged over hundreds of islands against eight unique factions.
A Story Mode where you can (eventually!) play 15 missions as each of the eight factions - a fantastic mixture of strategy, design and wild battles! Defend your fleet against waves of enemy forces in a series of extremely tough challenges that unlock new components.

An expansive multiplayer and co-op element is planned for the coming months!

Key Features

Design and build your fleet, fortresses and structures however you want. The alpha currently has over 400 unique components blocks, not including 29 different components for making missiles, torpedoes, depth charges and bombs.
The sky's the limit, you can equip your vehicle with - cannons, lasers, mines, bombs, missiles, torpedoes, propellers, rudders, jet engines, wings, hydrofoils, hot air balloons, anchors, fire control computers, blueprint spawners, repair bots, air pumps, automated control blocks and many, many more!
Realistic physics - every block destroyed or added affects the vehicle's functionality, physics and control. Drag, inertia tensors, buoyancy and sealed compartments are all updated based on the design of your vehicle and the damage sustained.
Be part of a fantastic community (http://www.fromthedepthsgame.com/forum), with new releases made on average once a week. Community organised challenges and blueprint sharing make it an extremely friendly place to hang out!

Customisable Components

The customisable components in From the Depths allow a unique level of engineering customisation:

Design custom missiles, bombs, depth charges and torpedoes by combining various warheads types, fuse types, IR seekers, laser beam riders, laser designators, thrusters, navigation algorithms, fuel pods, sonar seekers, buoyancy compartments and propellers, to deliver a truly bespoke weapon.
Design custom cannons by combining four different barrel types and lengths with autoloaders, warhead types, ammo boxes and auxiliary components to create everything from AA cannons to howitzers.
Design custom AI by combing an AI mainframe with 'AI cards' slotted into motherboard blocks. Add radar detection, laser detection and tracking and local weapon controllers to give partial or full control to AI. Create anything from a fully AI controlled aircraft carrier to a battery powered drone.
Design custom engines using crank shafts, cylinders, carburetors, super chargers, exhausts and fuel injectors. Electric engines, generators and chargers are also available for backup power supplies and drones.
Similar systems exist for the creation of anti-vehicle and anti-missile lasers, as well as drills that can cut even the largest of battleships in half.
