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.

From the Depths - Version 4.3.0 Patch Notes
Release Date: December 3rd, 2025 \n\nHey everyone, a sort of surprise update for most of you. I did a bit of a secret project and created missile breadboards! These allow for some interesting missile behaviours and guidance without being as broken as a LUA missile by using seeker information. Some of these might filter into campaign designs eventually, it takes time. This also comes with a gigantic UI change to regular breadboards that includes prefabs, checkpoint based undo redo and command based undo redo as well as many new shortcuts, components etc. This has been done with a huge amount of back and forth from experienced bread bakers and a huge shout out goes to the testers who provided critical feedback on some very, very complex issues. Awesome community as usual thanks! Credit to Cornholio\'s breadthing mod that contained some of the ideas implemented, it still has a few cool things in it for bakers so once he\'s updated it, check it out!\n\nAS USUAL BEWARE OF MODS AFTER A STABLE UPDATE. IF YOU HAVE WEIRD ERRORS YOU PROBABLY HAVE A MOD ACTIVE.\n\nONE OTHER VERY IMPORTANT THING. A BUG WAS FIXED IN AIRPLANE 2.0 TO DO WITH PIDs AND PITCH CONTROL. THIS MAY HAVE AFFECTED YOUR VEHICLES THOUGH UNLIKELY.\n\nIn other news its that time of year again, Christmas! The discord community have once again started \"Building Christmas\" for the Christmas Campaign. if you\'d like to join in you can find the very obvious channel underneath the general chat. Here is one of Dr Kreuzer\'s incredibly cool builds for it!\n\n
