What is happening at Brilliant skies News post for December.

What is up Depthians! It's about time for another What is happening at Brilliant skies post for December.
As most of you already know we had enforced the connection rule set for numerous blocks and with that, we had a lot of feedback. Therefore in Beta update 3.1.2, we added a new feature which I hope I explained well enough in the Beta patch notes. We also changed the way munition/laser warners and signal jammers worked so that they no longer need a direct or wireless connection to the AI mainframe, also explained in the Beta patch notes. We have implemented the new huge missile parts in 3.1.2 so I do hope to see some epic screenies with a lot of marauders being turned into confetti.
The team is also working on tweaking up the way the warp system works which we should see hopefully in 3.1.3 if all goes well. Further details on that will be disclosed on release and this will most probably be in Beta before it hits stable. Another new block that will hit From The Depths is the Spawn-o-Matic, which while it is mostly directed to help new players when spawning in designer mode to give them a little direction and not feeling overwhelmed. Rather than spawning on a raft, we should see a new default fort(you can the starting construct change to whatever you want), which will have this new block that will hold a number of craft ready to be spawned that a new player can check out and use as a reference when building their own crafts(land, air, sea surface, sub, hover, thruster etc..). Mimic 2.0, this following new feature is going to be a massive change to the way mimicry works. For 3.1.4, we hope to release Mimics 2.0, in short, and a basic vague description for now. This new system will allow us to place a non-physical block that won't take up space nor add to block count on any block we choose. We get all the usual tool sets the current mimics have to select what we want mimicked distance in the usual directions, size, rotation and everything else. Once the block that this new mimic is tied to dies then ofc the mimicked object will also fall off, however, they do not cost any material they will reappear once the block they are tied to is repaired. In regards to our current mimics, they will still remain in-game with no changes. While all this and much more is being done during December, such as steam drive shaft splitters, missile wireless system, Rambot weapons, sky fortress turbine model and much more! We are also working on Diplomacy for 3.1.5 more details on that once we get closer to releasing the beta update.

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.
