From The Depths | Part 15 | The Mothership!! | Glao Campaign Gameplay

[@theofficialgamer6679]

Funny story, had anti missile missiles that I forgot to set to go for missiles only. So an anti missile missile distracts a ton of enemy missiles with its flare, targets an enemy, and begins flying towards it, with 20 or so missiles in tow. The anti missile missile slams into an enemy, followed by 20 enemy missiles, killing the enemy.

[@somerandomgayweeb]

The official gamer lol

[@EnderPig]

You use your enemies power against them, the stronger they are (the more missiles they have) the more they take!!!!!

[@uhmuhwha]

I think this is actually a viable strategy

[@uhmuhwha]

oh

[@joshualontoc4465]

This was my actual strategy against opponents with fucktons of missiles, Instead of using lazers or just regular missiles. I set them to target my enemy. Huzzah! Traitor missiles

[@JabberwockOclock]

Wow, you figured out the Mothership's secret pretty quickly. Yes, it is fed power by all of its drones, and last I checked it was capable of sustaining flight with just one or two of them. As for the drones facing the way they do, that can't be helped. The docking stations have elevation control which makes them pitch, azimuth control that makes them roll, but no means of controlling their yaw so so turning them to face a target is a no go. We could turn them around by actually turning the intended direction I guess, would need to see how that looks. Part of what makes it look so good though is the somewhat angelic nature of the Mothership looking like a holy throne, with the drones encircled around it facing as far away as they can be made to. And I can say that the 5.6 unity update patch is in the devtest client, which also includes a bunch of design updates. So look forward to that.

[@Silvah14]

The Blargles, the unsung heroes of the Lathrixian fleet!

[@mark009vn]

There is a little trick with belt fed that, if you use a large enough gauge and enough inputs (for example, a 250mm cannon with 4 rounds per clip and 4 inputs attached per clip), you can instantly fill the ammo clip as soon as belt fed switches from the firing to the reload state, allowing a continuously firing belt fed with no down time. An ultra compact 120rpm 250mm cannon is absolutely terrifying.

[@awellner3285]

mark009vn or 450mm :D

[@alditory6621]

mark009vn 390mm HE,six per clip i believe,anyone remember this cannon from somewhere!!!

[@mark009vn]

I remembered once making an anti-missile cannon that fired 400mm timed HE slugs at 200rpm, it was quite amusing using it as an anti-air... but not much else unfortunately. The problem with higher gauges is that you have too little modules to work with, 250mm in a 1m belt fed gave you 4 modules, which is just enough to create the most basic of shells.

[@TallinuTV]

For some kinds of shells you only need the basics though. 333mm HESH rounds, GP-HE-SH, fired at 300 rpm, can do some crazy DPS. And if you need shield-busting, mix in or switch them all to GP-EMP-DC. 400mm is great too for timed or inertial fuses, like GP-Inertial-Frag/HE, and only needs 3 intakes instead of 4 to fill up its clip. Although there is that 5-10 second delay before returning to the firing state now, having enough instant-reload beltfeeders lets you get a minute or more of firing for every 5-10 seconds of downtime, which really can do an incredible amount of DPS.

[@Tonatsi]

15:56 enemimy Lathrix, yet again, you give me a good laugh.

[@mrvn_enjoyer]

Lathland make an annoying loaf of bread with Khorne pictures all over it, and call it 'Khorne Bread'

[@lastshadow2542]

Pixel Games I love it

[@adrianang1545]

Pixel Games you have my approval

[@MihkelKukk]

Perfect

[@Karibanu]

Or a brawny mech called Khorne Beef...

[@miazmatic7404]

Should have renamed it 'The Mauler' since it doesn't really haul things anymore y'know?

[@benchabot6886]

Make your own mothership type craft!

[@margakis]

Ben Chabot yeah, I was thinking about having the outer drones being horizontal instead of vertically positioned, and the craft being more of a water skimmer.

[@benchabot6886]

The white glint so a sideways mothership?

[@JabberwockOclock]

The limitations of the docking station prevent us from pointing the Mothership's drones to face forward. We can pitch docked vehicles up and down, and roll them side to side, but we can't turn them so they have to face directly away from the docking station.

[@Just_A_Dude]

Build the thing facing sideways, maybe?

[@dargino8878]

I'm thinking about a giant heli/flyer that drops Blargles into the water, cause that would be cool

[@samuelschurman3762]

*reads* *description* Go home lathrix you're drunk.

[@jtfroh]

The slight delay in on the outer one in the beginning test is because you assigned that input, the clicked assign all. So it immediately loaded the first shell, then started loading all shells.

[@Lathland]

Well that certainly makes a lot of sense! :)

[@jtfroh]

Woah! The actual Lathrix replied to me! I feel blessed... .u.

[@godsdonttalk597]

The Mothership is also flawed in terms of its placement, but it should come through along with Artillery by the next update, hopefully with a couple of other things.Unfortunately missiles might still not hit anything, but because Glao has no difficulty settings, a particle cannon should be enough of a challenge.I might have to look into lags later on. I've also asked for a permission to go nuts with subvehicles to make up a thick weighless armor, but given how stupid the idea is, I probably won't receive the blessing.

[@JabberwockOclock]

I'm currently thinking of giving the lowermost drones torpedoes so that they serve a purpose by going into the water.

[@samuelschurman3762]

I have a question. Who decides whether or not a new faction can be put into the game?

[@godsdonttalk597]

Most of the time, developers decide on faction guidelines when a new campaign is made - so not very often. Once the guidelines have been set, they're posted on forums, at which point volunteers begin designing crafts roughly corresponding to these guidelines. To date, I haven't seen a new faction be added after the others have already been estabilished. To not get things confused, I'm simply a volunteer.

[@Eyrlumi]

I notice that there seem to be heat decoys on the mothership drones; any thoughts of also putting radar on them (either radar buoy missiles or, if it works, active radar), in an attempt to distract radar missiles? All the active radar missiles completely ignore the decoys and go for the mothership.

[@godsdonttalk597]

Oh sweetheart, I've got SO MANY ideas regarding making this thing even more annoying to deal with.

[@horntx]

You should put a short range high damage on the back of the hauler, then tell the AI to prioritize the smallest enemy, this way it will grab a craft then just tear it up with a partical cannon with a range of only like 30

[@spytex9474]

finding a terra tech video from you is like finding a diamond

[@nathanieldean5872]

You should make a craft called khorn bread and have it spawn minions called khorn flakes

[@guythatsgoodatnames6032]

Nathaniel Dean it should be a block of metal painted brown

[@whatareyouonabout]

Kian Scott with helicopter rotors

[@PngunPr]

Domi-Nate watch neter campaign

[@theofficialgamer6679]

My friend Owen is a wizard at this game, he built a cannon with 3 500mm barrels and a 300mm barrel in a small space, the 500mm Fire every second and the 300 fires about 500 rpm. He just picked the game up two months ago. I don't know how he does it. Since he got the game recently he doesn't know how to build a cram cannon, his ships are super ugly, but somehow his cannons shred through the toughest of the enemies with ease.

[@Nicmadis]

Had me laughing for a few minutes. Lathrixian butt seeking missiles. Now actually targeting enemy butts. Ah, the wonders of youtube while waking up my brain with first coffee of the day.

[@cale4331]

Fast moving craft giving you trouble? Bring more lasers. Lasers shoot at light speed. I believe you can set the targeting A.I. To target the fastest vehicles first. Your also missing a fast attack element. Something fast and cheap to distract the enemy while your heavy hitters do their damage. Still my favorite series you do. You're also my favorite youtuber. so keep it up good sir.

[@Karibanu]

Using interceptor heads on decoy missiles also works really well ( particularily for torps with sonar bouys ). Actually what works best for radar decoys is just regularily shooting one into space... You can stack torp props - my regular ones are 8 block, 3 props, 1 fin, 2 tanks ( 3 props is a bit marginal on one tank ), TPG ( I should try dropping TPG, I don't use it for antiship missiles ), ballast and OneTurn, and I shoot them laterally out of either side of my ships; one fin is enough to swing them round the right way & they do 58m/s in a straight line. My 4-block decoy interceptor torps only have two fins also ( and three props still ), I've never seemed to need more fins on torps. I guess dropping them vertically into the water might want two fins at least. Seems I was ( happily ) wrong about inputs on the loader, I'm sure that wasn't always the case... My poor heart may not be able to take the shock of a season finalé!

[@Lorem_the_Ipsum]

that mothership is the most beautiful design i ever seen in ftd... wow. just wow.

[@george7169]

The pitch change 3:42 at scared me and at 6:29 I got really startled

[@talandar5773]

The colors of this faction as well as the focus on long range weapons, light vehicles and heavy shields reminds me of the Illuminate from Helldivers.

[@DarkChasm]

Damn Lathrix, one of the closed battles I've seen on your FTD videos. That was alot of damage you got there. Nice every now and then that the game has some difficulty to it in that regard, since your usual videos are like killing bunnnies with axes. gg :)

[@DarkChasm]

Controlled by evil overlordz, they must be exterminated !!

[@samuelschurman3762]

*suddenly* *space* *marines* PURGE THE XENOS FILTH

[@EmperorLjas]

All the designs for that faction are really cool looking and make everything I do look like garbage.

[@TheToric]

lathrix, the APN guidance is acctually pretty good.

[@g0urd_dude246]

I want to see a campaign where Lathrix uses his greatest creations from previous campaigns. Including, the Skarbrand, the Carnage, etc.

[@afatcatfromsweden]

I Love this series keep up the great work!

[@divedweller4295]

That Mothership core looks a lot like a throne. Fun to capture one and make of it a Skull Throne! Wait. . . The Hauler is more expensive than the twin-body Endgame? That is very surprising. I never actually expected to see such a close fight as that last one. Twilight R&D stuff is pretty good.

[@darwintheninjagamer1376]

Lathrix, Where is the kamahaze boat you promised us? Keep your Campaign promises!

[@samuelschurman3762]

Ok just had a neat idea. How about a B-17esc bomber plane armed with either a ludicrous amount of small to medium sized torps or perhaps 1 or 2 EXTREMELY LARGE torpedos (I'm talking capital ship sinkers). Also put numerous small low caliber turrets on it that while kind of terrible shoot really fast AA shells (either flak or sabot should work nicely) for defense. Also shields if possible or make parts of it out of super heavy armor.

[@dylanwatts9344]

I should look into making a "Sky" campaign for you. I have the story in mind, I just have to make the map and enemy units

[@zaxtonhong3958]

Dylan Watts Sky fortresses :D

[@dylanwatts9344]

Even better, I made a Sail Plane last night

[@samuelschurman3762]

Sail "plane"?

[@dylanwatts9344]

It's a little derpy and counter logic, and slow as frick. But it is a thing. As above, so below

[@mr_derpbear]

Dylan Watts make a flying dutchman ;D

[@GutteralMasticator]

nice fights :D keep it up and cant wait for your TerraTech LP

[@8enb666]

Thanks for the info lath. Gunna use it in my builds. 😀

[@stojankovacic1524]

The Mothership is just so cool! I adore it!

[@jordansmith4040]

The blargle by far is my favorite design. By far the most survivable as well.

[@j_fab3673]

I checked a while back and the fromm what I saw the Scarlet Dawn had only one of their fighters in the spawn list on the GLAO campaign so I think they aren't quite implemented yet.

[@JabberwockOclock]

There was trouble with coding them to spawn onto a map they hadn't been present on from the beginning. I'm not sure about all the particulars but they are indeed broken, and I don't know if they'll ever be fixed in Glao.

[@Neldonax]

JabberwockOclock they capture new lands

[@JabberwockOclock]

Is that so? Last I'd heard they were busted. Need to ask around and see about that, but good to hear.

[@limabeen3589]

I love how the hauler has become his baby

[@PiousSlayer]

Lathrix should make a few crafts for upcoming campaigns for the NPCs to use. Would be awesome! Edit: Yay for typing on my phone! Typo was made.

[@Matty_Solja_Boii]

i think the reason why the two loaders with one input each was because one was selected to take ammo first as there is a delay for when you force assign to all inputs

[@elgurkus6885]

"This way, they wont be after our but, they'll be after the enemy's but instead" ~Lathrix

[@elgurkus6885]

ps: that was REALY clumsy piracy

[@joely.1888]

Lathrix are you going to use the suicide nuke boats

[@baclodrifr5500]

Lathrix you should make a massive, and i mean massive, one shot space missile that is either launched from basically space, or from an island as a defense. It would be amazing to see a 30 ish long missile fire.

[@FreeTrojanVirusFoM]

Lathrix should capture a mothership and make an lathrixian version of it.

[@jamessingleton940]

Lathland you should think about putting harpoons on your tank so for the large craft because when the come it means the harpoons can grab and pull the close to it so it can get more hits off and do more damage with its main weapon Plus your my top go to watch youtuber.

[@user-mt3np8tg9r]

keep pumping out the amazing videos and remember this quote (That after making 3 videos I figured out)"Making KZbin videos isn't just about the subscribers and popularity, it's about having fun doing what you're doing and letting the world know it. It is about letting the world enjoy what you enjoy. It is about doing what you love. It is all about you." Have fun and keep it up while having fun!

[@tomduke1297]

is it just me, or are the haulers not bobbing up and down as much anymore? maybe look into it, they originaly evaded a good deal of incoming fire with their vertical movements....

[@Lathland]

tom duke - I manually changed it because It was a nightmare for getting footage when they were all over the place - Just didn't cover the change like a good 10 other changes I made :P

[@maartenkapitein123]

love the vid as usual, keep it up man ^^

[@linasses6239]

if you add more torpedo propellers does it make them faster now, i think it did before but haven't played in a while and was wondering if you knew

[@Lathland]

Yes they do, using more does indeed increase the speed :)

[@linasses6239]

I though so, just wanted to make sure, thanks for the reply :)

[@thegamingcat3202]

Wow so many ftd video . I am not complaining i love it

[@eatenjaguar9854]

lathrix I have an amazing idea how to take out the last corporate HQ, just build a swarm of water skimmers and rush it with them

[@JerryCasual006]

Mate. they don't fill them at the same rate as they are on the same craft.... Or is that just my bad logic?

[@LordOberic1]

I think the middle one filled slightly faster because that was the one he used Q on to assign the ammo type (just clicking the ammo type before assigning it to all starts loading that first one).

[@JabberwockOclock]

LordOberic1+ That is indeed correct.

[@Patadude100]

He told the middle one to fill first and THEN clicked assign all.

[@harryrewcastle9444]

lath why dont you make a small ion powered thrustercraft with a sizeable radar on it (5x8 does the trick at high altitude) and sent it straight up

[@terrariola]

Ahem, nothing beats a CRAM cannon in pure damage.

[@Lathland]

Actually, no, amazingly! Particle cannons can do FAR higher damage per shot, even when thinking of the splash damage of CRAM. But lets face it, nothing is quite as glorious looking than a 2000mm CRAM cannon explosive shot going off ^-^

[@terrariola]

Lathland Imagine a huge barrage of max gauge CRAM cannons constantly firing, pounding an enemy with high explosives.

[@mr.pickle6487]

remember ur wooden water skimmer nukes lathrix? name them pop-khorne

[@Tonareification]

You still haven't made the rapid fire missile vehicle. I think a small skimmer with a ton of small rapid fire missiles would look really cool.

[@jipdevries1541]

make an artillary boat with a very large HEAT cannon with a large caliber.

[@rellort4362]

The mother ship is a very cool vechicle in my opinion.. like if their missiles were as good as the ones from lathrix... they would be almost unbeatable!

[@KitimatGooner]

When are you going to use the Kamikazi ship?

[@Solanumsaurum]

he would be a great narrator in a sport game or something

[@MihkelKukk]

You should build a HUGE army!

[@xX_DNKMM_Xx]

Hey Lathrix, can you do a capture campaign after this? It's a challenge where you are only allowed to use captured ships. I would really like to see a series of this, barely any youtubers will play this game, let alone that challenge.

[@damianbarbulescu9188]

Where did ME: Andromeda go? I really enjoyed that series and im always hoping that theres gonna be another episode coming out soon. Please contunue the series.

[@zockerjonny]

If the place the Intakes at the autoloader instead of the clips, the Shells will be loaded faster inside the "Barrel". Not the clip but the Barrel or gun. (Just what i read from the Game description and personal opinion). And a question, is the Tutorial series going to be continued? Because i'm still pretty bad at building ^^

[@Lathland]

This only really works with regular autoloaders and causes all sorts of issues even then honestly! With the beltfed loaders they really need a stock of shells to work with otherwise its shoot-wait for the input to hand over a shell - shoot , which is far far longer than going through their rack of shells (Beltfed loaders massively outdo regular autoloaders at taking from the racks and passing it to the barrel, its their strength even though they can't take from the input during firing phases!)

[@SajaiAU]

Make your own drone mothership, i've been saying it for a while now and I still think if u did it, your battle force would drastically increase

[@DiverWithTheBends]

Do something similar to the mother ship. Have a ship made of just a huge engine, armor and spawners. Have the spawners spawn 10 cheap artillary pods that attack from a distance with railguns

[@damienw4958]

Torpedoes have a ratio of 3 propellers to 1 fuel tank (yes that way round) to run out of fuel at the point it auto detonates due to running out of lifetime

[@derpydash9954]

Lathrix, can you create a design with a similar concept to the mothership? Maybe tone it down or make it it's own fleet and buff it for end game

[@Murr1can]

You should make a spawner craft called "Khorn Stalk" and the minions called "Baby Khorn"

[@dmitriisuvorov1930]

At this point, we should make a petition to FtD dev team regarding weather control. Maybe, they will listen to like 30k people.

[@owenp6994]

I can't find out in the controls how u pause time

[@Lathland]

F11 when not in build mode pauses time :)

[@owenp6994]

thx, i've been trying to figure that out for a while

[@g0urd_dude246]

If I played From The Depths, I would have a hard time keeping myself from boarding and ramming enemy vehicles.

[@logandaley8063]

the mini corn needs an upgrade

[@Lathland]

I honestly disagree :P For its stupidly low cost It outdoes pretty much every other vehicle - Especially since It is still the highest damage vehicle I have, aside from the tank which is technically two vehicles in one. It is just targeted way too easily due to its high 'weapon value' and since It is over 60% weapon with its volume It simply can't be more defended than it already is. In short - It's a glass cannon, and any upgrades would just lower its damage for more defence which goes against Its point, in my derpy eyes at least! :D

[@jonahgimmi1528]

Lathland remember how you loved robocraft but quit because it became terrible? Well now there a new game in town called crossout and I would love to watch you play it and I bet you would love to play it! Who agrees?

[@javik1929]

Ammo inputs on the autoloader have a penalty for reload speed, not input delay

[@JabberwockOclock]

That's only if there's no clip attached to the autoloader.

[@javik1929]

Wow thanks, didn't know that. It read like it applied only by placement.

[@artibukowski5322]

Lathrixian videos are not like diamonds, but like Blood diamonds (becouse blood for the blood god)!

[@Der_Dekanter]

Heretic the God Emperors Light shall guide us

[@calcium4222]

could you make a tutorial on how to make flyers because mine just dont seem to work

[@reunion_k9375]

Awesome Episode :)

[@dorert1232]

Lathland you can open haulers back hatch with I and Y using spin block controller!!!

[@encumberedcat]

I have to choose between two videos, This, or a TheXPGamers livestream, this won..

[@generalboyit7867]

Same.

[@huntille1214]

[@bismarkeugen6881]

I'd love to see a Lathrixen Mothership like the Hauler, also, is there any reason you don't use rail-guns?

[@Monarch_Crown_Security]

Hey lathrix make a small aircraft carrior that makes like 4 cheap drone bombers

[@brycecollins7550]

Who need friends when You have eNenammemes... XD

[@kaivestergaard9506]

Lath, can you make your own particle cannon ship, or skimmer?

[@alexmei4602]

Dont the haulers heal each other? why dont you just spawn them close to each other to make them even tankier?

[@Lathland]

They also sorta ram into each other haha, currently the AI setup is not very good at working with and around other vehicles, one of the reasons why I keep mentioning that I want to take it out and replace it

[@alexmei4602]

ah okay just wondering cuz i remembered that episode when the two haulers were just healing each other and were a pain to kill

[@MrHodoAstartes]

HAHA! I was right about the dud missiles!

[@juphikie3559]

Lathrix, Ive been trying to build a gun able to fire as fast as yours does, but the best one I can make can only make 120 rounds per minute, how do you get your guns to fire at 700 rounds per minute?

[@jbabbitt250]

9:34 it's fire rate has has... Why not three Has's?

[@ninjamanfu]

i would pay to have Lathrix review/ roast my designs. most of my designs are big tho... like one vehicle army big maybe if he does it he can instate a block limit?

[@CoolKid-ti1pc]

You could be a news cast

[@Juni_0220]

who agrees that there should be curved ammo clips to make longer clips for belt fed loaders

[@AlexHudson0]

Regarding the gun reloading science - you might be interested to try something else: #1 single customizer, two belt fed loaders, 1 input each #2 single customizer, two belt fed loaders, 2 inputs each (or even a mixture, shouldn't matter) #3 two customizers, two belt fed loaders, 2 inputs each (1 per customizer) and just stop-watch the complete reloading time

[@dylanwatts9344]

Lathric, you have to rotate the Belt Feds too Edit: The gun works, so you must of

[@ExtraRaven_]

You should make a lets play using only flyers

[@삼별-h3c]

Lathrix why don't u make a partical cannon ship if it's so op

[@ermosazorius4279]

Except it's not half the reload speed because it has twice as much to load. What works better is making the clips different lengths so they reload at separate times

[@BelzeBooze]

No matter how I set up my AI (land AI) my vehicles will ALWAYS after a certain period of time give up and go head on against the enemy. I've tried to make them stay at around 1000m meters from the target, put the broadside angle at 75° (default) and the "enter broadside below this range" variable to 40. Doesn't work.. Am I doing something wrong ? please halp

[@lordpotato9814]

The Mothership reminds me of the the Scrin

[@hunterredflame2120]

I honestly think you need to put a more... Raiderish name to the LHs (Lathryxian Haulers.) 'Hauler' just doesn't fit their job description anymore... What about the Hoarder or the Jackal instead?
