From The Depths But I Burn EVERYTHING With Incendiary Weaponry | Flamethrower Update Gameplay

Sometimes an update arrives and It just puts a smile on your face, sometimes a sadistic smile but a smile nonetheless. This is THAT update for me! Of all the things I have wanted in From The Depths flame based weapons have been the VERY top of that list! So today we are doing some science to test out the new flamethrower weapon and the new incendiary versions of old weapons to see how we will use this new mechanic in the future!

About The Game - "Over 1000 unique components allow you to build and command voxel vehicles from the deep ocean to outer space! Forge strategies, allegiances and fleets strong enough to destroy eight deadly factions of the planet and reign supreme. A genre-defying mashup of simulation, building, RTS and RPG."

[@Lathland]

Two quick notes! Firstly there is a very good chance that the crossbones wasn't burning all the way through due to the water quenching the flames (despite the water not being visible due to air pumps) as it seemed very inconsistent! I thought the air pumps would allow the flames to continue but this is alpha of the new mechanic after all! Secondly I'm sorry for those who saw this video go live yesterday only for It to vanish! The usual fun KZbin Copyright system kicked in for the From The Depths OST - Had to contact the studio behind It (Again) and It's all good now! Enjoy!

Fires aren't just fed by the blocks they burn, but also by high speeds. This makes them particularly effective against fast aircraft or hydrofoils.

[@Lathland]

Yup! Mentioned It suuuuuper quickly at 3:00 - There were a few things I decided not to really touch on in the video since It would be information overload! Will be mentioning them all in detail when I build properly with the new weapons! :)

@@LurchTheBastard Or even an AA flamethrower depending on the aircraft's method of attack.

[@ardantop132na6]

And if anyone is wondering about an AA flamethrower, there is a thing in the RTS game called the Oxidizer, whose role is not to damage the aircraft but rather weaken it for other AA units to take it down.

Flamethrowers probably work well with Frag. Flamethrowers reduce enemy Armour stat, Frag freaking shreds through it afterwards

A mix of high oxidizer incendiary and frag shells for a fast firing advanced cannon ought to be very effective.

[@mankiller3040]

I wonder if some of the anomalies with the crossbones turrets losing their caps but not their citadel is due to the water; despite the ammo being flammable the water quenching the fire before it could do much

lathrix, you know what must be done.. a challenge run were *_EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE!!!_* basic premice; EVERY weapon is strictly incendiary, however lasers will NOT be allowed outside of defense because fire is secondary damage as far as lasers go

[@spaceman7019]

Take note of how it peels the top off of the boat specifically, and how the top of the boat ends at the waterline, intensity and fuel are really important for damage but imagine how much is lost due to the water extinguishing the fire. Oxidiser in the right amounts are really important to mitigate damage lost when fighting boats.

[@kholdanstaalstorm6881]

I've said it before, I'll say it again and I'll keep uttering this to my dying day; even a failed Lathrix run is much more entertaining than what a lot of the others put out and it's the rice on a chessboard legend better value than having to slug through another week without any morsel of fresh Lathrix content on the Lathland channel. Because it's not the conclusions that are the flame pulling in the moths, but the journey alongside this magnificent host! So I hope Lathrix isn't selling themselves short in their own mind going forwards, because everything is an asset in every video, even the accent that seems like it's perceived by the content creator as a negative of some sort, when it too is one of the main selling points of the final products! When the new burning update has had some patches, I wish for a napalm run after a single LOS turret run, let's see how far Lathrix can take the turret concept!

[@shaggy7087]

You may fire when ready.

[@probablyhuman632]

Fire seems like an amazing secondary damage type, or at least something to combo with another damage type. The ability to weaken armor could make it an extremely strong option to pair with advanced cannons or a railgun as shown in the video. One key thing to note is that the fire is also influenced by the enemy's speed. Regardless, I for one am overjoyed to roast flying squirrels... in From the Depths.

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

[@DemonKing19951]

I will say there are a couple of benefits I noticed, and one nightmare scenario. The first is benefit I noticed to fire is that craft that are difficult to hit due to being speedy and evasive are no longer quite as safe. One good hit and the craft will start taking damage over time, weakening armor and potentially removing vital components. The second benefit I saw was that internal fires are so much better than you considered. Particularly that gun you built at the end of the episode. That TORE through defenses and lit up vital components without the need for EMP, I'm not even sure how you defend yourself against that right now since even if you heal yourself you'll be constantly expending resources to undo the damage. Now for the nightmare scenario, facing a flame thrower wielding melee ship. God lord even if you kill them you'll be expending a huge amount of resources after its done if there aren't any form of fire extinguisher implemented into the game yet. The best defense I can think of is smoke, since that should help to remove one of fire's primary fuel sources if the developers added that. That all said I actually kind of agree with you that flame throwers feel like of limited. I'd love additional fuel types to be added with unique effects based on what material they hit. For example I could imagine one that produces a lot of smoke to mess with enemy sensors and laser fire. With the obvious down side being it's choking out its own oxygen supply and thus reduces its damage as it kids into gear. At least without heavy use of oxidizers anyway.

[@lightoftheworld6578]

Especially with lasers starting fire, it just got WAY better at point defense vs strike craft, like you said in the first benefit. Burn a single wing piece and that ENTIRE wing is going to dissolve

[@thegeneralscall]

I could see flamers working well for small, super fast flying crafts like a flying squirrel. Go high intensity, zip the craft in for a driveby, and let the sticky flames do the work as you scurry away to refuel.

[@Majorblack]

[@stiches2690]

[@Michael-qv7wt]

[@lonurad1259]

we know lathrix is a real one for knowing how many people are out there that just want to see stuff set on fire and burning by setting a timestamp specifically for seeing things on fire.

[@Ben_Kimber]

Craft idea: A ship that fires powerful graviton ram weapons at a low fire-rate to flip enemy ships on their sides, then peppers their unshielded and less-armoured undersides with super-fast armour-penetrating weapons at a high fire-rate before they can right themselves. The graviton ram will also briefly throw off the enemy ships' aim during the fight. Another craft idea: Some kind of craft that goes underneath enemies and fires graviton rams straight up, sending them into space where they will then die from being too high up. Video suggestion: Particle weapons run. You may use other weapons as you wish, but the main armament must be particle weapons as soon as you can afford it. Maybe a particle beam melee submarine (or other craft) to slice enemy ships in half like that one airship that you keep killing before it gets the chance to cut your vessels in half.

I'd assume pen-depth incendiary shells would be quite useful if done right. > penetrate armor > set fire to internal components like turrets or fuel > profit

what I think would work well for missiles is if the frag could have a proximity detonation, boring a hole into the outer layer of armor, and then the incendiary detonate inside.

[@ItsJoKeZ]

[@bismarkeugen6881]

Fire seems really cool, would be really cool if changing the fuel composition affected the colour, hot/intense enough fire turns blue then white. Incendiary Magnetic Mines might work well. Maybe when you have a good idea of what you're doing with these weapons, an incendiary-only Adventure Mode could be interesting.

[@Isometrix116]

I feel like using flame weapons as an opening weapon, then using a lot of rapid fire weapons would be fantastic. Something like large incendiary missiles backed up by 120mm rotary cannons or of couple of guns with 500mm incendiary hollow point (or similarly low AP) shells and then a bunch of secondary guns that are like 200-300mm that just peck away at the target.

[@LastGoatKnight]

As someone who played for 6 years in a realistic game I'm very experienced with inciendary ammunition and its variants and I LOVE to use them. Especially if it is AP-I or IAI (armor piercing inciendary or immediate action inciendary) because both are awesome against every vehicle so long as it can penetrate its armor. Loves to cook off ammo and fuel tanks, and those when detonated can instantly kill the whole vehicle. And against biplanes it's a death sentence even if you don't hit vital parts. Fabric and wooden parts love to immediately catch fire when hit with one and depending on its position it can mean that on one side both wings just tore off after a while or the pilot gets "knocked out" by the fire, as the game likes to tell you (even when a 125mm dart goes through its head they just slump over)

[@SunShine214_2]

I imagine having internal fires would be extremely good against lighting hoods and white flayers, as they usually are absolutely full of flammables, and have somewhat thin armor. Cool showcase, excited to mess around with this!

[@andrewpayne3982]

Well, Lath, now you have to complete adventure mode with only Fire damage. Bonus challenge: flame thrower only.

[@tortugagreen9924]

What I'm interested in is fire defenses; almost every weapon in the game has some kind of active defense that can nullify it; it feels like there ought to be an active defense for this too. Perhaps fire suppression sprinklers, that make fire in a room (defined like an air pump) act as if it's underwater? That'd incentivize more high-oxidizer incendiaries, as well as allow a way to mitigate fire damage. This'd also be handy when you get hit in the flamethrower, because flamethrower fuel is still flamethrower fuel when it's still in the tank, and having a fire in your flamethrower tanks is probably not going to be pleasant.

[@kayoh9364]

With flames being powered up by movement, I could see a build where you shoot harpoons out behind yourself and then use flamethrowers while also dragging your enemy around at high speed. Sounds extremely sadistic, especially in land campaign.

[@termitreter6545]

Tbh I just love how fire looks. Makes the battles feel more real, with damaged sections on fire and stuff. You can watch fire slowly reach towards internals, quite scary 😊

[@Noobsi89]

I think the fire is a nice addition between reloading sequences. You have your alpha strike, add some fire to the enemy craft, stuff reloads while the fire is burning away the surface area of the enemy + softening the outer shell up for the next shot that now has less matter to go through and the outside is soft enough for your now damaging ammo to hit the more important parts. If you want to deal damage with the fire I think the penetrating railcannon will be your go to system, since it just aims for the more flammable systems and ignores the armor. Otherwise you use too much time on the surface while the enemy keeps shooting you. If you want to wait for several minutes so your fire did the job eventually then the enemy will have torn your craft to pieces. Unless I'm missing something. Cool addition to the game though. Excited to see what you come up with O.O

[@nobob8564]

An AP/Sabot depth-penetration fuse incendiary shell/missile seems like it would be A LOT of fun.

[@hjc135246]

honestly though, a fast plane that drops some incin bombs that have a ton of fuel and then just goes away to a safe distance while the enemy keeps burning would probably work pretty well

[@slugcat5574]

Imagine, 5-6 drones all using fire missiles and flamers just torching a target over and over while you're shelling them with Cram shots Or having your planes/drones using incendiary interceptors. Oh the amount of creatively dangerous ideas one could get from this

[@102728]

I can imagine a flamethrower set up like earlier in the video switching blocks constantly, with a high rof, low pen weapon hosing the now weakened blocks off the ship would be the way to go. Lije either way you'll get the most out of the flamethrower if you use the resistance reduction it applies, not the raw damage output.

[@hisupwassup]

A challenge idea that I suggested once: twin craft run. You have two crafts that have the similar outlook (in shape at least), have interconnections and use VERY different weapons, like opposite spectrum type. Once any twin dies, the run is over

[@Deathbykittens11]

Extremely excited for this weapon! It's been requested for so long and implemented in a really good way so far. As I see it, this offers two primary benefits: firstly, more options to deal with Heavy Armor spam, especially with fast movement increasing the damage, but mostly the oxidization mechanic, and secondly, the total decimation of unreasonably huge, lag-inducing, all-wood craft. In short, a well-considered version of a long-requested feature

[@deusvult4084]

Alternating fire/conventional weapons could be devastating. Fire to weaken armor, break through with weapon of choice, then put more fire into the hole. Rinse, repeat.

[@deathofallthingspotato9919]

I mean, like everyone I want incendiary CRAM shells. I'm absolutely going to make a kinetic/incendiary weapon, using lots of oxidiser. I'd also like to see some blocks release oxidiser - particularly if heavy armor did it, as that would make an interesting case for not using heavy armor on subs, as they'd naturally self-burn a bit better (but also things like components of weapons or such, as it makes sense, and would make them burn all the way below the water line). I'd also kinda like to see fires buffed globally, and fire supression systems added - particularly if they made it so that blocks like ammo, fuel tanks, engines, etc created much more fire, so a ship could just become engulfed in flames as the subcomponents burned.

[@Just_A_Dude]

Looks like you finally get to know the joy of Armor-Piercing Incendiary rounds!

[@caelodevorago608]

So, IIRC, you *CAN* ammo stack the advanced cannons. That means, your initial shell can be maybe HESH or AP (Squash???) Second shell is flame Third shell is HE/AP So the first shell strips off armor, to allow the flame to get between armor layering (Means spaced armor is actually WORSE against incendiary!) Second shell sets the fire, hopefully inside any gaps to maximize it's spreading angles (If you hit a single block on the surface, it can only spread to immediate neighbors I imagine. Whereas, if you go even a single block deeper, you massively expand where it can spread to) Third shell takes advantage of the fire weakening the armor. First shell then strips into the healthier armor beneath Rinse and repeat until you have fully stripped out their armor

[@D3m0n1c4t]

time for a flamethrower only adventure!

[@steeldarling5116]

I think incendiaries would be a lot more effective against airborne targets like airships and planes. More flammable components due to higher fuel requirements, typically denser designs allowing for a whole bunch of fuel in one place to run into more components, and most importantly they're well above the water.

[@05Matz]

Also apparently airspeed provides a multiplier on fire spread (or intensity? Not sure), according to other comments, so fires on fast-moving units are even more dangerous. Definitely seems useful against planes, which makes a lot of sense -- I think most ammunition specialized against planes or airships in real life tends to have an incendiary component to it.

[@Michael-qv7wt]

I… HAVE SO MANY IDEAS!!!!!!! I SHALL BE THE PARAGRAPH KING!!!!! 1. Spacecraft that launches magnetic mines filled with incendiaries 2. Assassin sub (We rise FROM THE DEPTHS, WITH FLAMETHROWERS)(maniacal laughter ensues) 3. Flamethrower drone swarm 4. Melee craft that impacts then ignites internals 5. Thin and really fast melee craft that weakens the armor with flame then pierce straight through with either flamethrowers on the sides or piercing weapons that fire while going through craft Non flame ideas 1. Harpoon craft that lifts crafts out of the water Possible version that can go underwater to hit the bottom and flip it upside down as it lifts it up 2. Rod from god: a melee craft in outer space that shoots down and impacts the enemy to devastating effect 3. Boat with big hammer that smashes enemies Run/playthrough ideas 1. Speed(boat) run: fast boat or craft that goes fast and uses hit and run tactics. Only missiles allowed are small missiles with maybe one big one for big damage and no cram Will add more later.

Super awesome discussion Lathrix! I hope the next full play through gets heated.

I'm interested to see what types of armor layouts people come up with to mitigate the fires, or if some kind of fire extinguisher block (like the anti-laser smoke dispensers) is going to be released.

[@Svenn_]

Fire seems to be mainly a supporting damage type, so maybe an incendiary-buckshot style volley to ignite the armor you can see before properly engaging the target?

[@TheeActualKeyboardWarrior]

As much as i dont care about realism especially in a game like this, a metal fire is much more difficult to put out than some other types of fires so it almost makes sense that the fire takes a while to go out on the metal builds and i can appreciate that.

Fire based penetration weapons might be nice if you you hit a room adjacent to the mainframe, and the fire spreads. Wonder how fire interact with AI stuff, rubber and surge protectors.

[@jadekaiser7840]

With the fire damage reducing armor, and adding to itself when the block it's on is destroyed, it seems really clear that incendiary weapons are meant to be used together with other types of weapons firing at the same spot. Very much complementary in both directions.

Hmm Flamethrower with long burn times seems perfect for a fast attack craft. Basically get close fast, set target on fire, run away and wait, repeat untill destroyed. Also fire should do well against targets that self repair fast basically forcing them to spend more resources for less effect
