From The Depths | Part 8 | Spin-Shields!! | Adventure Mode | Gameplay

Bit of shield weirdness, bit of torpedo weirdness and a bit of ranty weirdness! Yes I am aware that I missed the difficulty multiplier on the main menu, through a combination of dyslexia and a helpful helping of derp I simply thought the number was one of the position numbers. ^^

[@ramjb]

My first (and thus far only) try at adventure consisted on me fast building a wooden hull and trying to get a gun in working order. Not even 5 minutes after the start, a huge red and white thing came out from nowhere hovering over the water at insane speed and rammed me to oblivion. Yup, adventure's so easy xD.

[@ThePab98]

As he said, the starter plane is bugged and godly designs may spawn there

[@hundenhugo1]

HAHA i got one shotted by a laser. the battle lasted all of 3 seconds

[@WittiestMite85]

Your voice is sooooo soothing

[@jezraelcummins4367]

Make a flag for no reason

[@fred8293]

+SOARER DA_SLAYA right he almost never yells which is nice it makes it easier to get his point across

[@patrickanderson9558]

as far as I know you basically just have to worry about the difficulty multiplier. green gate reduce the multiplier slightly, red gates increase the multiplier slightly and blue gates increase it a fair amount.

[@rocketlegion1162]

I have a small bit of dislexia when it comes to ( M ) and ( W ) but I have kinda learned how to read them right but it still gets me sometimes

[@ArionEquus]

Generally speaking. Due to the fact that enemies spawn in this mode so far away. And the fact that you've built your ship to exactly this sort of engagement type. I'd wager that even if you come up against harder designs. Unless they can play the sniper battle with you. You're just going to AI dead them before they can realistically do anything. Which, contrary to how you might feel. I find hilarious. I also like the silly shields. Stupidly powerful low-mid cost ships are very cool to watch. Especially this sniper heli. It almost mirrors how real attack helicopters are used.

[@JabberwockOclock]

I wonder if he'll run into my Nightmare replacement. That would certainly give him some cause for alarm as it averages 120 m/s and uses lasers. It would still be classed as easy since the guy in charge of managing designs has only just gotten SD updated with all of the new systems so he hasn't had time to evaluate their performance beyond knowing that they work.

[@ArionEquus]

High speed laser craft might be the only thing he really has to worry about right now. The silly shields will protect him from advanced cannons, and he's plenty fast enough with enough range to deal with other types of cannons or most of the missile setups he will realistically come up against.

[@JabberwockOclock]

***** The OmegaNightmare would also destroy him if he were unfortunate enough to see that, although the detection systems might not be on it yet. Bunch of new BPs still need to be implemented and all.

[@vaxsinthefox7203]

ah... eating breakfast while watching lathrix. good times

[@DGGB--]

Watching Lath' during my break here o/

[@vaxsinthefox7203]

TheDGGB AYYYYY!!!!

[@sunslingersilver1720]

Lol I'm going to bed

[@slexov3897]

ya me too

[@gabe2874]

Ikr

[@sonel0l]

*keeps going through red gates* *5 bulwarks surround him and destroy him* "THEY PLANNED THIS!"

[@joeycollee]

Loving the series as always. I vote for a giant UFO/Flying Saucer for the next ship/run. Only using lasers, rails and particles for a challenge/difference.

[@Erowens98]

From carrion bird, to eagle with laser beams shooting out of it's eyes. In 8 episodes (although heavily edited). Well done.

[@legolessed6073]

love your videos! please keep playing from the depths!!

[@DaAwesomeMinecraft]

13:30 "it's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine" Good song, that. Good song... "That's right it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an Aeroplane, Lenny Bruce is not afraid... " and that's all I remember,

[@MoJohny]

YESSS this is your best series MORE :D

[@damienw4958]

I'm loving this adventure mode!

[@Viper00900]

I love this series, I tried making a heli like yours, but it rocked so bad it actually flipped and was killed :D Oh well more to learn i guess, please keep this up, slow battles, fast battles, building it's all cool in my book

[@Vampirspiegelei]

I haven't played From the Depths in quite a while now - Adventure mode seemed like a really good idea to look into. Learn fast or die! What I have observed however was: - if you are actually still in the water you get attacked a lot more frequently than being stationary in the air. - On an easier plane I still got attacked by a Twin Guard Razormaw and a Trebuchet ... both designs that made short work of a 37k Airship. So Difficulter (Easier/Harder) might not matter that much since like you said The Flying Squirel is Godly but still not much of a threat to a properly armed ship. The Razormaw is only Expert but a lot more dangerous. You just got lucky with your spawns.

[@aedus2814]

Suggestion for your torps. You could set them up so they drop/eject down from your ship instead over being eject forward. Then they wouldn't fly over enemies. Great series btw! :) ***Edit*** Prolly should have finished the whole episode before suggestion that lol haha... But ya, I have found on airships I have built, that drop torps are very good cause they have no real min range.

[@aaronholmes-black6621]

I like how the Vulture has just turned into this mobilebase Gunship.

[@last_methbender6306]

love the 3 main guns its good you spread the message of brrrrrrrrrrttttt to everyone.

[@Discohydrus]

Hurray! FTD! One nuance about torpedos that isn't covered by in game text, is that torpedo propellers consume 250u of fuel over 10 seconds, and every fuel tank has 5000u of fuel. You can have 4 propellers to every one fuel tank without requiring a regulator, with 50sec of propeller runtime. One thing to beware of with torpedos is that propellers act as pseudo-ejectors. You'll probably want to set a large minimum range for those torpedos should you ever give them to the AI.

[@gertl]

I literally just had a dream within a dream about robocraft bringing tiers back and i woke up and it was real. you were doing a video about it. (inside my dream's dream) that's how bad I want tiers back

[@jeffisjeffy134]

Verioth I had a dream were tons of new robocraft things were released and I had a promotional account it was so much fun! This was before tiers were removed

[@gertl]

Jeff is Jeffy I had similar dreams to that

[@falco1924]

ME WANTS MOAR FTD

[@falco1924]

also if you want a challenge well here it is : 1. go through red gates until you get to the difficulty you like 2. build a fortress 3. defend the fortress 4. build a teleporter somewhere on the fortress and vulture 5. try to stay alive

[@sirbuttholeius7549]

yassss

[@gardivor5245]

+Falco 13 (Nicalos) yes!

[@kaelerhowk6664]

I agree!

[@tristanking1137]

Hey love your vids! From your newest subscriber!

[@robthehobbit]

I think your flyer might be a bully...lol...love the adventure mode , lots of weirdness.

[@QTpitarianne]

Wow second time I started watching your video 2 minutes after upload today

[@johnsmithfakename8422]

The long barrels in my opinion are character for the craft. Though the barrels are ridiculously long, they give the impression that they will reach out and exterminate the target.

[@xhiloval]

Keep at it lathland your the best :D

[@Kevinto.]

THE ROTORBLADES LOOKS LIKE THE NORWEGIAN FLAG

[@patrickanderson9558]

I was going to say this for like the first video but you can stick a teleporter pad(under "misc") on two ships to teleport between them. this means if you fall off the aircraft, as long as you have a tele pad on it you can place down another tele pad to get back to your aircraft.

[@kepszlok]

Staying in the first plane in the starting infinite resource zone for building a ship (for about an hour, i'm slow) resulted the spaw of at least 10 ships around me to the point where my FPS dropped below 20... One of the starting enemys was a metal aircraft with a long range laser weapon. So much for the difficulity. :)

[@antonstalnacke3975]

Nice vid, ceep up the good work

[@timzamarro6835]

Lath, my new physics teacher looks just like you and talks like you and acts like you!!!

[@Lathland]

In that case, he sounds like an awful teacher! :P

[@austinslab8110]

+Lathland BURN!

[@xXxkilzaxXx]

Hello lathrix I have watched you for a long time ever since lets play From the depths ep1 s1 I love your content especially your stone hearth game play. keep it up man and hopefully I can meet you in the future.

[@thesuperiorgamr451]

yay double upload and I'm early for both :)

[@thesuperiorgamr451]

lath you should make the first warhead on your torpedoes a frag with 0° cone so it penetrates and then explodes all the insides

[@ms-pz4wy]

WOOP WOOP!!

[@emperoroftheuniverse5950]

yes do that

[@tecrazycat5516]

same

[@NemesisHDgaming]

is it really that effective?

[@Aidenbywater]

yay more FTD :)

[@cheesychaza]

Subscribed for your terrarium videos then got bored and unsubscribed then found out u do from the depths so I'm here to stay

[@authorontranth5990]

Early birds get the worms. And a good one this morning!

[@Gunkadin]

The survial mode is fun. I've tried to start it 6 or 7 times before I actually got off the starting block. Everything from Advanced cannon rain to a single silly missle landing in just the wrong place has killed me. The main difference to living and dieing so far is how quickly I get an effective weapon system online. Seems pretty no-brainer, but it really is important to have one up and running as quick as possible. Unless you do as he did... which is focus on locomotion and run from everything to begin with. But even then he got a bit luck he was not immediatly hounded by a flying squirrel. ^_^

[@Argonwolfproject]

My challenge for you, Lathrix: Play adventure mode ONLY in ships that you control completely. No artificial intelligence or weapon controllers for you, the only automatically targeting weapon you can use is homing missiles.

[@sebastianmeszarosalvarez1740]

Lathrix may I suggest this idea: try and retrofit your current ship so it can make drones so u don't get bored of not knowing what to build and make several of them

[@staggerdagger]

How often do you upload in this series? I keep up with you and Stealth17 now that his videos got me hooked

[@AugustGunsZERO]

The first red gate I went through sent a scarlet dawn scream my way so I was like holy crap the difficulty jump is real! but after a few more red and blue gates I still see a vanguard retrofits or other tiny stuff every now and than. I'd really love to see a bulwark and other capital class ships spawn though like that scream was the only good fight I had.

[@marcusmcc5850]

Lathlax, for the turret problem, are you able to rotate the block the turret is on? Say spin it on the Y axis so it goes anti-clockwise to go to the top, maybe controlled by buttons? The sides could be independent too, so one could fire on top while the other fires from the bottom.

[@Mikelectric]

keep playing i love thes vids! make an ultimate ship! keep upgrading!

[@thebaneofhe1160]

I had this HUGE battleship in adventure but I didn't realize that I wasn't near a heartstone and died RIP USS SilverArrow

[@edwardwest-parison8882]

Lath I have an idea for a ship,It would be a heavily shielded rail gun ship with a central gun that would fire a concentrated shot that would cripple the enemy instantly like a laser lobotomy that would ignore shields and knock out any core systems it could. and my second idea would be a giant missed sub that would have lots of missed tubes sectioned off into groups so that it would fire in a volley at a time and would have a very high burst damage without buying thru it's entire ammo supply in an instant.

[@Leamnji]

The bug you talked about (The free roaming camera) is included in the game's Toutorial so i dont know if it will be changed.

[@hazir7618]

"Red "harder" gates (base 75%) increase difficulty by a factor 1.1. " - means that in order to get enemies double your initial strength you need to go through 10 portals (unless its calculated as 1.1 * 1.1 * ... * 1.1, in which case you only need 7 for 2.143~ difficulity)

[@lewisrandon874]

lath for life

[@mattx9826]

LathLand you should make a submarine that goes underneath the enemy ships and cripples them by shooting up. Sinking em.

[@dumpsterbonfire.]

ah yes, such classic weapons as the blunderb uss

[@BlueEyesGaming]

Lathrix! my request/suggestion if you do this series again. make and play like an aircraft carrier. have like 3-4 little drones you undock and send to battle while you relax and watch on your carrier!

[@zainkhwaja8688]

He already did that in season 3 of FtD

[@TristanNgILIVE]

+zain khwaja but he didn't even use it!

[@BlueEyesGaming]

I mean for this adventure mode. he could troll around in his carrier. when an enemy gets close enough to engage he can release the fighters and watch them go at it. and then when the fight is over *or a fighter is too damaged* he can return all the fighters *or that damaged fighter* and play as a sort of mothership that doesnt do much fighting itself. also allows him to watch more instead of trying to manually fly and show us glorious content. or even better, have purpose built fighters/planes for different targets. but that'd be alot more effort

[@brandonwilliams2768]

you cant spawn stuff in you have to build it in the adventure mode

[@BlueEyesGaming]

He can build them manually if he had to XD one fighter per role, could also make like a helicopter for dropping sonar buoy's etc

[@oddcool1]

how did you make the flares?? nice series btw, love it ^^

[@gabesbane308]

He is saitanama looking for a worthy opponent like one punch

[@Herderus]

Today Lath builds doom-pedos... wait...

[@op-cheese303-6]

15 minutes of small ships

[@akejivanov521]

Lath, do you remember your: ''From the depths S3''? If yes do you remember that big-ass capital ship that you were building? Well, I really enjoyed those few episodes, and the whole S3 in general. So lath, please consider continuing the build(the capital ship). If anyone agrees/disagrees with me, please reply with a ''Yes'' or ''No''. Have a nice day everybody.

[@matilozano96]

Damn. My adventure mode goes something like this. Build gatherers, storage and an engine. Start working on a hull. Install a simple movement system. Install detection systems. Install a simple weapon system, add ammo storage. Git rekt by laz0rs on aircraft that catch up to my 60m/s. Rinse and repeat.

[@overengineer7691]

The wiki said going through a red portal increases difficulty only 10%. You're going to have to go through the about 10 of them to match that helicopter you've got.

[@bappy2222]

Lath, you have my two favorite series running, Stonehearth and From the Depths. Please don't end them if the simply have a ton of dislikes just finish them if you can't possibly do anything more. Also this video right now has a ratio of 505 likes and 0 dislikes, Nice job guys!

[@shatterfox5198]

507*

[@bappy2222]

I said right now idiot.

[@shatterfox5198]

Mettaton Ex I'M UPDATING IT JESUS CHRIST WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

[@bappy2222]

You don't need to update dumbfuck

[@shatterfox5198]

Mettaton Ex Idgaf I can If I want to.

[@Logan-dk8of]

Lathrix make an at least decently fast firing gun that shoots shells with gravity rams at the end, if you haven't tried or seen them before I get the feeling you may be very satisfied, especially against big ships with slow turning turrets, or ships with limited shielding. Tip, try to get as much kinetic damage as possible for maximum effect and also use the torque percent slider.

[@zackeysahebzada3293]

When you open the menu and see the difficulty as harder, there is also a number below it that represents the difficulty compared to the starter plain. I saw it was 1.839956 on your menu, so it is that much harder than the starter plane.

[@scurtus1885]

Some of the OW castle ships have their deck painted dark brown to look like wood.

[@86Kiaser]

I came and started watching this after a week of trying to figure out why all my heart stones blow up now. I can't even last the starting area without it blowing up three times before the first ship even shows up and I die. I do welcome any ideas. BTW love a dual purpose craft sub/Helio idea you have going for you if they ever make it harder for you HAHA

[@aaronwalsh7266]

On the topic of storms. Warp storms... Does that actually include weather or is it just more interesting gates as it is said in the description.

[@boobunn4151]

fishing is actually a great idea.

[@knightvale6507]

stfu

[@glorvalmacglorvas171]

I see sarcasm at 2:40

[@glorvalmacglorvas171]

Also I do believe that shields effectiveness goes down with its speed :|

[@glorvalmacglorvas171]

And also btw, you can make one clip on one of your guns or maybe on both have the emp for anti shields so that your main guns still work about the same but can counter shields.

[@nicholaswebb7759]

wouldn't changing the spin block to horizontal on the new shields make the shields look like a rolling barrel and protect the bottom more?

[@connecting1409]

There is warp difficulty set in numbers, you had something about 2.0 . Starting warp plane has 1.1 warp difficulty.

[@GHKiwi]

you are getting lucky, i spent the first 5 hours of my adventure in easier dimensions running from white Flayers 30k volumes ships, crying for help and getting shredded by their advanced cannons. couldn't even harvest half a resource zone before awful things spawn at me... This mode is much scarier than what your let's play let us think.

[@GHKiwi]

Love both the mode and your let's play tho !

[@Itsmebsg]

I've watched you since season 2

[@Espeon1134]

One idea would be to go through a blue ring then a red ring, as such it should give you a harder world faster.

[@OnizukaGTO]

woohoo!!

[@smiththeseamonkey1723]

Hey lathland do you think you could have your stonehearth series really long and have challenges given to you by subs to keep it going keep up the great work lathland

[@5peciesunkn0wn]

If you get killed, make a boat. :P not a flyer.

[@aegisrvir9472]

Submarines? Yes please! Also lath, any advice for a fellow FTD player who is struggeling to make a cost efficient ship?

[@mikelikesmike6005]

Lathrix, you really like saying MASSIVE damage a lot, makes me remember a specific crab though.....

[@ShadRS]

@Lathland Any chance you could post your ship to the Workshop? I'd love to see how you did the control setup.

[@ShyDMs]

hey lathric, i play from the depths. i have a question due to the fact that you seem better than me. for unit or ship composition, what do you tend to lean twards? (armor, speed, weapons, what) im not asking for preference, im asking for advice. ive made units that specialize in each one, and though they excel at the category, they suck

[@Logan-dk8of]

If the enemies don't get more difficult then I think you should go into a blue shield then a red one right away, unless you think of something to retrofit. It would be nice if you started seeing bigger ships and eventually got to the point where you also had a big ship, like the battleship in the campaign but less op for fun's sake, and also a bit nicer to look at for extended periods of time.

[@exosianteatime1517]

the middle cannon should be the anti-shield emp!

[@dethkruzer]

I don't really mind the weak enemies too much, as there is still some fun in watching stuff get completely roflstomped

[@zockerjonny]

There is a Difficulty meter, whne you press esc, there is written : difficulty 2,072726 , and before that there was : 1.4 i think

[@thechucast]

yay finally somebody but i is using rotating shield systems

[@thechucast]

now for him to use it on a larger scale as i have on my own personal ships

[@Snekonic]

+thechucast op, no fun

[@thechucast]

no OP is my rotating particle cannon system that can melt enemies

[@Snekonic]

+thechucast Particle cannon.... ha... ha. You're joking right?

[@thechucast]

no but my true OP weapon is the system of 12 advanced cannons i made that give a ship of mine the ability to fly while tearing enemies asunder... and making enemy ai glitch out and think it is omnipresent...

[@arcanisex]

ok so ive been playing adventure mode, for us that dont play non-stop jesus its hard, i have essentially a junk yard version of the vulture minus ALOT of the things you have on it and its mostly due to not being able to figure things out, can we get a nice indepth tutorial on how to make things like your gatling cannons(i cant figure out how to make a one barrel cannon let alone a 3 barrel)

[@urmum8643]

13:40 the thing you were fighting that was so far away I think it was a twin guard robot mech base.

[@JabberwockOclock]

No that was a fairly small drone constructor ship I believe. Either the Broodmother or Begettor. Looking again, it appears to use a CRAM cannon so it would be the Begettor, which likely launched the Sneek drone Lath killed earlier.

[@neilpatrickdelacruz5870]

Yay just uploaded a few seconds ago

[@charlieshack04]

when the craft gets bigger add a escape pod / drone so I don't die

[@cyberhost3802]

Lathland would you recommend this game to new players

[@antalz]

"Harder" describes the last portal you jumped. The warp difficulty level is right in the next sentence. You're messing around at 2-ish, which is low. Some vets have gone to 100.

[@Lathland]

*Points at description of this video* Yup ^-^

[@noahrooster1186]

We got a double upload? We got a double upload!

[@obnosis]

see at 18:50 ? you are at a warp difficulty of 2.07. that goes up to 100 and it increases by entering more red gates, not staying around (that only increases the amount of spawns, not their size/difficulty level). entering green gates decreases the difficulty too.

[@perturbedmax5686]

put your torpedoes on a opener on your wings so when you need to "fire" them they can go more down than what they are nowlike you did for your capital ship in the last season with the opening rocket pods

[@shanghikid3]

I think the idea that the number of ships, instead of difficulty of the ships, changing with time makes more sense. If the difficulty changed the longer you stayed, what purpose does the portals serve?

[@alexandergenna3048]

One of the white stripes on the main rotor is longer than the rest.

[@richardsahat4739]

well, the steel striders faction have soo many cool looking design and i think steel striders is a modernized faction, (maybe)

[@overboss9599]

sweet.

[@JabberwockOclock]

Disrupter rounds don't do too well on low gauge shells as they reduce the EMP damage to 20%, and shield strength can further reduce that damage. If you have a shell that does 1000 EMP damage normally but give it a disrupter head it will drop to 200 damage. This damage is then divided by the shields strength, so a strength 10 shield will only take 20 damage from that shell. Just some perspective on how big a gun you'll need to support them, not going to say they're bad though.

[@BadassButcherfly]

What about standard EMP shell with inertial fuse? Could it work like i'm thinking, or will it be just wasted damage?

[@JabberwockOclock]

BadassButcherfly I honestly don't know how those work, I'd need to test it. Though I suspect the existence of disrupters means that standard EMP needs to make contact with a ship rather than bursting near it.

[@JabberwockOclock]

BadassButcherfly After performing a fairly basic test I think I can safely say that EMP does not benefit from using an inertial fuse at all. I used a pre-built cannon against a hastily constructed platform with shields and found that the only instances of EMP damage came from shells that were not deflected by the shield. Most shells simply disappeared once they made contact with the shield, which I assume to be the work of the inertial fuse activating.

[@BadassButcherfly]

Thanks for science! I guess this leaves only 3 shield-viable APS types: disruptors, inertial HEAT and frag (last one against one layer only).

[@Logan-dk8of]

So given it's all division/multiplying by decimals, it would actually benefit more from the cannon that does the most emp damage per minute, and given that a large caliber gun missing would be a lot more damage wasted compared to a small gun, as well as require a much longer barrel to be as accurate, it would actually be better to use a smaller caliber. Given it can't be to small as the shells would have terrible range and speed, and at a certain point when you go smaller you start getting less dmg/min. The larger gun also just wouldn't work in any form on that small of a vehicle so large, even if it's better, is out of the question.

[@theultumateminecraft]

Lath, you are only reading one word in the pause menu, it says that you are in warp plane type harder meaning that the last gate you went through is harder (red) but after that it tells you the warp difficulty

[@theultumateminecraft]

Also the longer you are in the warp plane makes more enemies spawn which also makes it a bit easier for a bit bigger ships to spawn and that is how it works to my understanding

[@MrHamof]

Weirdness for everybody!

[@Lullloser]

Maybe the bug is the more harder portals spawn easier stuff. xD And the easier portals spawn harder stuff. You have to go backwards (idk lol) :P

[@yobeefjerky42]

LATH, i have an idea! put a shield on a turret, so the turret will face the enemy and protect you from most weapons

[@stephanieshen9951]

Turn your Vulture into a large Fighter craft
