Beta Test 2.9.2

What is up Depthians! A quick little update.

Change

AI

Added a number of inputs to the projectile avoidance routine, particularly bearing, closing velocity, and closest approach/deviation from intercept course

APS

Beltfeeder loading cycle tooltip accounts for intakes being almost always ready when the cycle starts (so displayed cycle time is shorter)
Beltfeeder minimum reload delay down to 1 sec
Beltfeeders need at least a 2 x SHELL_RELOAD_TIME delay after the last shot before switching from loading to firing cycle again
Bore evacuator cost up from 30 to 40
Muzzle brake and bore evacuator armor up from 40 to 50
Muzzle brake cost up from 20/40 to 40/80 for the 1/2m variants
Muzzle brakes increase inaccuracy by 5%, instead of reducing shell speed by 5%

DETECTION

Missile/projectile warnings are now shared among mainframes. This mainly affects CIWS and projectile avoidance routines; LAMS/interceptors/ACBs already checked all mainframes. Mainframe parameters removed from Lua functions dealing with missile warnings; the old invocations will continue to work, but will access the global pool.

WORKSHOP

Updated the planet and mod workshop interfaces for easier uploading and downloading of planets and mods

Fix

APS

Cannon controller by multiple LWCs still obeys the fire rate limit
Fixed a problem causing cannons to damage their own barrels
Performance of aiming/barrel handling logic improved

DETECTION

Tracker assignment mode now saves correctly

LASERS

Laser couplers now clear up sides that do not have any connections to cavities/doublers/destabilizers

MULTIPLAYER

Locked the game world origin for multiplayer maps (not adventure/campaign) so that host and clients dont end up too far from the origin (which creates graphics issues)

NETER

Fixed starting resource values in land and multiplayer designers.

NUKE

Tactical nukes on subconstructs now do their explosion damage in the right location

PROPELLERS

Propellers currently spinning backwards no longer instantly provide a forward force when target thrust changes towards the forward direction

REGRESSION

Fixed a bug where lasers would crash client machines

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.
