What is up Depthians! Some more bug fixes and tweaks :) As always with any release, if you do see something not quite right then please send us a bug report here: https://brilliantskies.customercase.com/forums/bug-tracker Please send us an example blueprint showing only the components needed to replicate the issue. If it is a campaign issue send us a save file shortly before the problem shows its self. You can find the save file here: C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\From The Depths\Player Profiles\PlayerProfileName\Saves.

Changelog

Additions

Camo

You can now add camouflage texture to applique as well

CRAMs

Added a button to instantly reload all CRAMs in the designer's refill menu (the one triggered by holding Q)

Changes

Campaign

Changed the format of the saved pathfinding data used for campaigns. The old format will still be loaded correctly, but the new format will load much faster. Worlds saved will automatically use the new format

Dediblades

Armor for dedicated helicopter blade parts up from 5 to 40

Diplomacy

Removed most options in the council meetings where the player would only be at war with factions far away from the player

Ducts

3x3/5x5/7x7 ducts cost as much as 14/40/80 individual blocks of the same material

EMP

Surge protector EMP damage taken up from 1% to 5%

Missiles

Torpedo sonar and propeller component health modifier up from 1 to 1.4
Water resistance for missiles down by ~10%

Options

Added default lighting intensity options for reflection probe on and reflection probe off cases, with a button for resetting to default

Fixes

Avatars

Droid model now sits at the correct position in the chair

Bugs

BUGS-3510 Helium pump interpolation of buoyancy at maximum altitude is fixed. This is a minor change.
BUGS-3157 APS shell module parameters are properly synced in multiplayer
BUGS-3506 Some setups with serial steam pistons do not report being blocked when placing/removing a non-steam block
BUGS-3507 Fixed hiding the mesh on APS barrels making them functionally not count as a barrel
BUGS-3509 Fixed forced fire from ACBs getting around the rate controller of APS
BUGS-3069 Issue where initial tensor is first calculated for a spawned vehicle based on the COM of the main hull only, not the sub-objects. Now fixed to always include sub-objects.
BUGS-2839 wing blocks underwater now gradually ramp up to the x5 lift force rather than jumping immediately which can cause physics instability

Action Indie Strategy RPG Adventure Simulation Singleplayer

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.
