What is up Depthians!
We are back with another update which is hopefully going to be wheely good. I was thinking of a number of puns to use in this update post but Im already tyred and feeling deflated.
Yes! You guessed right, Wheels are here! We have our usual 1m, the new 3m, and also 5m wheels! Isnt that wheely amazing?
Both the 3m and 5m can be used with tank tracks, and you can use a mix of sizes with your tank tracks too :) We can also hide the wooden attachment point of the wheels by bringing up the wheel UI, wheel configuration tab, and drag the slider show suspension to 0.
Of course, we have fixed a number of issues such as the idle twitching and constructs that were jumping around.
Propulsion has had a number of tweaks, such as particle effects, turning props off if they are above the waterline or jets off if under the waterline. In terms of thrust, we have added a power scale, which you can see in the pic below. Output * X , Power use = *Y, which affects the thrust of powered jets, ions, propellers and wheels, within the UI of the component. This acts similar to our dediblades when we increase the motor drive, which gives us more push yet uses more power, which we are calling power factor.
When placing a propulsion block, it should be at x4 by default, and anything above power scale 1, the power use/thrust increases up to 50% more power at 4x. So a propeller at scale 4 provides 4x as much thrust and uses 6x as much power as at scale 1.
All propulsion methods have been tweaked up, be it health / ac, pushing force and costs can be found in the changelog below.

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.
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.
