From The Depths | Part 14 | Flying Artillery!? | Glao Campaign Gameplay

[@JabberwockOclock]

More ammo intakes do increase the load rate of the clips, not for the actual gun's ability to fire of course. Also, repair bots aren't allowed, it's just that some designs slipped through the purge. The Juggler has a pending update that removes them while also correcting minor issues. Do take note that the Juggler is using gravrams, hence the name. Artillery has a pending update too, and I'll need to have a word about raising its spawn altitude once the content dev gets back, this might be an issue with the previous version of the design being a boat though so the settings weren't adjusted. With that said, I'm glad to see the Fast Assault Craft did its job properly, good job not being an embarrassment.

[@spinn4ntier487]

What was the given reason?

[@JabberwockOclock]

There were a few. They ranged from the repair bot path finding and model rendering being a source of FPS loss, to just prolonging battles beyond the point of being helpful for the designs. Once a design is substantially damaged, repair bots really can't help do anything but drag out the fight, so Nick (the guy who started the game) decided they should go. I'm of the opinion that there are some designs that should have them in limited quantities to repair very minor but important damage, but that's not my call to make.

[@olavfuruseth9048]

Spinn4ntier why does your logo remind me of Nazis? xD

[@wyattvb828]

The hauler with harpoons looks like something the Combine would dream up.

[@honouredknight-wanderer357]

You sure? Looks like frameloss to me

[@mrvn_enjoyer]

OH... Lathrix should make a loaf of bread, stick annoying weapons on it, stick Khorne symbols on it, and call it 'Khorne Bread' I hate myself for coming up with this....

[@discokossan]

Pixel Games that's okay bro

[@Murr1can]

What if the hauler had a graviton ram with the harpoon missiles? Paddle ball!

[@joeprost2871]

then the missiles would never hit because the graviton ram would hit it out of range

[@Murr1can]

Then make it to where the gun disables until the missiles hit. Not saying its practical, just wondering if it'd look funny

[@ashtonkrause7211]

just have it disabled until you hook on.

[@CreeperDude-cm1wv]

the gun would have to be fixed to the ground, or else the vehicle would basickly drag itself in the direction of the enemy as the enemy gets knocked back

[@Svorty]

APS Ammo intakes works in such a way that there is X seconds for a shell to be passed from ammo customizer to an APS clip. Ammo intake can always take only 1 shell per reload cycle which = X. An autoloader therefore loads at a rate of 1 shell per ammo intake per X. Which ultimately means that beltfed with 5 autoloaders will reload in 1/5 of a time of a beltfed with just 1 intake. Good to note (in regards to belfeds) is also a fact that beltfed autoloaders have 10s "cooldown" period after the clip is completely filled before they are able to fire again. All of this means that having only 1 ammo intake for the sake of adding additional clip will result in longer period of firing follow by kinda brutal time to reload. With this knowledge is also good thing to pair a fact that you can really well work around reload times of beltfed autoloaders which can result in basically 0s reload time for a beltfed based cannon. Good example would be instaloading 500mm guns (which no longer work due to 10s cooldown period being added) where each loader was able to hold 4+1 shells and had 5 ammo intakes: all 5 rounds were fired in exactly the time X by the time the 5th shot was fired the clip was instantly reloaded and show could go on forever (honestly it was OP as sin). And even though this exact method is no longer possible you can still make (lets say) 100mm aps (24 rounds per clip I think, not sure tho) where you have 4/6 ammo intakes and you know that you have 6 or 4 reload cycles which are x X = Y+10s loading time for the whole beltfed. Make secondary round of beltfeds which will fire their load in Y+10s and by the time they need to reload the primary round is up and ready to deliver the pain. Hope this helps a bit and please, do keep up the awesome work!

[@thefirstprimariscatosicari6870]

Svorty I have do it with a 120mm cannon in the Ashes of Empire campaign, it fire at 1000rpm for abaut 1 minutes, after that you have 10s of reloading and then it restart fire.

[@TallinuTV]

What you said about 500mm guns is still way better than the fire rate you could get out of standard autoloaders with identical shells. I really like using 333mm GP-HE-SH or 400mm GP-Inertial-(HE/Frag) or GP-Timed-Flak in single clip beltfed loaders with 3-4 intakes per loader, because with enough total autoloaders set up that way, it can get you a minute or more of rapid firing powerful shells with only a bit over 5 seconds of downtime. (It claims to be 5 seconds now instead of 10, but does take slightly longer.) Ammo definitely does get loaded faster with more intakes attached. Even for standard autoloaders, particularly larger ones with multiple clips, you often want at least two intakes, sometimes three, in order to keep up with the rate at which shells are consumed. (Interestingly enough, intakes attached to any side of an autoloader or any side of any clip attached to that autoloader all count toward loading any one of the clips attached to it, not just the clip they're directly attached to.)

[@godsdonttalk597]

I terribly apologize for how the Artillery's spawn turned out. It must have bugged out. If you've got any suggestions to make it better please let me know. I'll happily take a day off to turn it into a tank it deserves to be.

[@pureradio5655]

Keep up the stuff u do lathrix your content always make my laugh and just cheers me up in general.

[@schoolistorture94]

To take the hauler, you gotta put a ring on it Lathrix :3, if only the update went out, a lot of hauler has already been updated/fixed.

[@Zakara675]

Excellent idea for a mini series: you modify fans designs to your liking, changing detection systems and what not. Then you face your modification against the original. No using counters specific to the original craft, and keep within a reasonable block count. In order to not feel bad about messing with other peoples designs, only except designs posted in the comments of the series. (post your designs down below if you want Lath to do this)

[@baronprocrastination1722]

Samuel Oehmcke I like this idea. I wonder how my Brawler (a rather cheap ship, more or less a tanky support) would fare against Lathyrix's.

[@dylanwatts9344]

You should make a ship called the Maw Simple put, haroop missiles/torps that drag an enemy ship into spiked spin blocks

[@naransolongoboldbayer8030]

Would building a sub that can pull opponents underwater with harpoons a good idea?

[@EmperorLjas]

There was a design on the forum a couple of years back that had a huge amount of harpoon missiles and a very White Flayer-esque massive complicated spinning wheel system of death spiked with rams in the front.

[@naransolongoboldbayer8030]

Rujasu The question is did it work well?

[@robob4465]

and call it "kraken"

[@EmperorLjas]

It wasn't the most effective thing, but really cool regardless. www.fromthedepthsgame.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=20585

[@dmitriisuvorov1930]

Just got the same idea, dragging enemy would render it's weapons less useful, especially lasers, immobilise it for non-harpoon torpedos to finish it, and PID system-controlled rotorblades will keep you submerged. It would make for a nice support sub. Also, regarding the name, there is nothing more fitting, than Kraken. Old design from the forum, judging by the screenshots, can't stay submerged.

[@XenoDragon52]

multiple ammo intakes on a loader means multiple shells will be loaded into a clip at the same time.

[@TheGavote]

Yep, he doubled the ammo capacity, but he quadrupled the reload time.

[@Karibanu]

Yes, beltfeds are the loaders you *do* want as many intakes as possible for. Using four will cut the reload pause down to between 1/3 and 1/4 - the intakes on the loader are less efficient - and if you do a little maths you can set the gun up to fire continuously at faster rpm than if it was using standard 1m loaders. Those torpedos... you rarely need more than one fuel tank, you could replace the others with props and it would still be fine.

[@alditory6621]

Xeno_Dragon yeah totally agree,the more intakes you have the more shells you can load,expecially handy with belt feed loaders,makes for a shorter reloading cycle

[@iReady1234]

I came for the gameplay, but stayed for the commentary. Lathrix can do good things, especially when it comes to entertaining people.

[@glitchedjson4042]

For some reason I remembered a video you once made, where you started saying "Greetings, one and all!" and kinda expected you to start like that! No idea why!

[@TheMirror873]

each ammo intake request ammo individually, and then inserts it into the autoloader/ammo clip. this means that more intakes linearly improve input speed. If an intake is hooked up to a loader, though, its speed is halved to prevent very compact, save clipless autoloaders

[@KasparOrange]

@lathland man... ammointakes 101 = each feeds one shell to the rack. thare is a maximum number of attachment points on each rack. intakes do not add to each other, rather they work simultainius. 2 intakes on one rack will not feed the shell 2x as fast (as that is dependent on the diameter of the shell) but they will feed 2 shells in same time one takes to feed one shell. hope that was helpful. keep up the FTD vids! ;)

[@prosparkour9200]

Hey lathrix, I don't know how well this would do but it seems awesome. Maybe put a few harpoons on the hauler to pick a few small-medium sized ships and once it picked it up, unleash a huge missile salvo on the bottom. Seems cool, but I have no idea on how it would work...

[@dennisdonahue5631]

soon as I read the title I though "has science gone too far?"

[@Patadude100]

Yes the ammo intakes help. If I have a clip connected to two intakes and a clip connected to four intakes, the clip with four intakes will load twice as fast. An ammo intake will put in one shell per tick, so if you have two it will load two shells per tick.

[@eliteleon2212]

15:06 About the idea of taking submitted designs to try to review and/or modify them, I'd actually be really happy if such a series was to become a reality. Then I could show the world the might of the Etelyn Nation. *starts to shout: "For unity, equality and power!!" By the way, I am starting to make a custom campaign and one of the factions, Blood Guard (look, I know) was mainly inspired by your Lathrixian vessels. They only use missiles and have access to armoured yet sleek designs. If you would like to propose an ship blueprint, whether it would be you Lathrix or anyone else, please tell me. Please...

[@jadonmalvar8614]

Lathland you are like a News Reporter viewing a battle.

[@MichelleMcIntire]

he's like a sports narrator during the battles

[@dylanwatts9344]

From my examinations, more ammo intakes does load faster. I use the open clips as I like to see the shells while testing, and when I have 2 intakes 2 shells drop in, 3 intakes 3 shells, etc, etc.

[@Keklord_]

Artillery looks very Animatrix-y, Machine side.

[@sorianphire]

that water skimmer looks like it would be terrifying in a swarm

[@yoongilimerence]

I love your designs, but I've noticed you never seem to include Target Prediction Guidance modules on your missiles. It makes them so much more accurate versus fast and maneuverable craft! They also would have directly intercepted the water skimmer instead of coming up behind it at 25:30. (though I'll admit that bit looked awesome)

[@jainabraina]

More ammo intakes do help. A lot. Belt fed loaders take half the time in between volleys if they have twice the number of loaders.

[@TheGavote]

Lathrix, each ammo input on a clip will reload the clip at the rate listed. Each ammo input on a Loader will reload the loader and any attached clips at 50% of the speed of an input on a clip.

[@TheGavote]

Also, keep in mind that torpedoes rarely need more than 1 fuel tank unless you use more propellers or the piece that allows them to stay spawned in longer

[@arctifire5709]

Praise to the hauler. Haraki made it able to lift a constitution.

[@THINKMACHINE]

Just one or two harpoon cables were enough to start lifting up the tank... seems you could get away with only a few of the missiles being fitted with them. Also, since you're firing them down, changing some to torpedoes could be effective. Heavy EMP on the non-harpoons to prevent breaking the blocks the harpoons grab?

[@davidbailey9388]

hy lathrix my favorite youtuber

[@owenp6994]

It might be fun for you to do a multiplayer camping

[@thebanditoking]

I can see it now. Lathrix becoming the Gordan Ramsey of FTD

[@dmusil17]

Lathrix you should make very fast, very agile, long-range, harpoons to put on a ship to target fliers and bring them down to the ground. You would only have to put 5-10 of them and they could counter all the silly things in the glao campaign.

[@TropicanWars]

could you make a missle that is a anti missle and a regular missle so it goes toward the enemy and then when it hits the enemy all the enemy missles hit it to?

[@CreeperDude-cm1wv]

it would have to be fast but not to fast so by the time that the missile hits the enemy, the ememy missiles wont have time to turn

[@KarachoBolzen]

well if one hauler doesn't hold a tank,use more than one hauler I'd say

[@aidanjohnston7505]

at the 17 minute mark, you talked about the ammo. Basically what you were describing is something that also happens in anty game that has BOTH fast mags (the more ammo loaders)and extended clip (the ammo you used instead of the intakes) attachments (CoD as an example). This creates a question, which is better? More ammo per magazine or a faster reload? In Titanfall 2 the answer will almost always be fast mags (or whatever it's called) due to the fast pace of the game and the fact that you don't get a lot from the extended mags attachment. My question to those who read this is this, which would you use? Fast mags or extended mag?

[@fancymalon]

*enemies break to bits* "Weee." 31:35

[@Tiberius_jackal]

Each ammo intake have its own timer so technically more intakes will make the reload happen faster, however with beltfed loaders after they are fully loaded it will take about 5 seconds to activate after full reload, however with regular autoloaders you never need more than 2 as the reload speed for them is always half of what the intake is

[@tonofashman]

Yay, a new from the depth video

[@Ranade_Empor]

Lathrix u should make an melee vehicle with harpoons it will pull the enemy to itsself and damege them. or use an tactical nuke. and make an vehicle that leads their own missles to the enemy.

[@jacksonl.2201]

17:40 it just puts more in at a time.

[@horntx]

What you could do is replace the turret at the back with a short range partical cannon or a shot gun of some sort, it would pull in a target then use a short range but high damage weapon to tear it apart

[@divedweller4295]

Good job turning a hauler into a mauler.

[@the_dark_jumper2211]

Considering your first nuclear ship was very cheap and that you've created some reproducing flyers before, I would suppose it's possible (and possibly funny to watch) to build a 'mothership' which is constantly spawning tiny nuclear flyers. Maybe that's something for you ^^

[@hdog9046]

Lathrix, you should make another version of the hauler that carries a massive cram cannon under it, like the artillery!

[@thefirstprimariscatosicari6870]

Technically, if you have more than one intake in a beltfed autoloader you can create really small turret that fire really fast and practically without stopping.

[@skyrexclips4643]

The Tank was updated I think it is now loaded with Heavy Armour and PIDs

[@KattilaOfficial]

You should play Emily is away too! Remeber Emily is away? It's a sequel

[@braydenfizer6826]

Cheesemuffin I Agree!

[@betamike8676]

Moses Turner lol Emily is a wat?

[@charleshatton9333]

u should make a sub that uses harpoons and can drag enemys underwater

[@ashtonkrause7211]

you'd probably want a few torpedoes or an advanced cannon with the cavitation base to punch a hole in the bottom so it sinks better and counts as a sinking ship.

[@charleshatton9333]

Ashton Krause ya thats true but i was just coming up with a simple idea he could figure something out probably

[@Divinegrace327]

"If my craft can do the same thing every battle; I will be very, very happy." so, if it lost every battle, you would like it?

[@gamingborne6107]

I love from the depths its a good series

[@coronal2207]

I find it funny how you use belt feds like they are supposed to be used, I just use them as faster loading normals so I can never have enough inouts

[@eriksmit18]

ooh! I have an idea! make a harpoon sub that drags your enemies into the depths

[@MrMms92]

the ammo intake don't directly modify the reload rate of your gun , but can slow it down when your clip is empty , you need to reload it with the ammo intake but if you look at the stats of a shell in the ammo customizer , the time to pass a shell to a clip is double the time to then load it into the turret to then fire , so , if you place one ammo intake for one autoloaders , you will , when your ammo will be empty , have your turret slow down because of that time , to counter this , you need to place two ammo intake for one autloaders hoping it will be helpfull :)

[@Lathland]

It is indeed helpful, but I'm afraid It doesn't apply to the autoloaders I am using in this video! Beltfed loaders can not reload when the turret is firing, and once they start reloading they do not fire (Unless set up otherwise, which is never as efficient.) until full. So in essence, the beltfed provide WAY faster clip to turret load speeds (Far faster than shown on the shell stats.) but then when empty they have to wait until loaded, so you will not see the effect you were mentioning, in which the fire rate slows to the rate in which the inputs can keep up.

[@MrMms92]

indeed, but adding more intake greatly improve the reload time of that type of autloaders , and , in fact , for this type , more you have , more frequently you shoot

[@celivalg]

you should do like a semi-static ship that you leave at the back with a massive gun like this one... the one problem is moving it

[@keegancoyle512]

Before I watched the video I read the description and title. I thought to myself awwwww fuck ! I must be wired because as I watched this video I sent my flagship into battle after somehow turning it into a thrustercraft. It used to be a ship btw

[@Necromorph251]

Even though I never played the game. I have so many designs that could work. Could work.

[@zacharygerken7855]

Lathrix derpyness is you!!!!!!

[@capclap6716]

could you make a bunker buster shell like goes through armor then detonates launching fragments in to the important parts like the engine or ammo reserves

[@abyssstrider2547]

use a particle cannon too,and lasers, and other stuff that is highly advanced!

[@stojankovacic1524]

Make a harpoon craft that can lift even the tank up and has mines so the craft grabbed is under the mines and watch it go boom.

[@unknown-ln3gb]

It does help because the reload time is different for each ammo input feeder

[@helixaether872]

the artillery looks like something from Halo 3

[@jooot_6850]

1:24 in the ARMY NEINEINEINEINEINEIN

[@MrHodoAstartes]

Hm. Could one add sub-vehicles with harpoons and rams to a mothership? The sub-vehicles (best made from wood) then can drop magnetic mines right next to the enemy.

[@ShyDMs]

I had a system set up that turned my turret into a shotgun kind of thing, 5 loaders, all of them were firing into the barrel at once

[@dmitriisuvorov1930]

Will adding both EMP warhead and inertial fuse disrupt shields for a brief moment, so other shells will pass through while the shield regenerates? Seems totally logical for me, but how is it set up in the game?

[@Lathland]

There is an actual component that converts EMP damage to shield damage on advanced cannon shells for this very purpose! So no need to mess around with inertial fuses (Which would not work in this way, sadly!) It is simply a warhead that activates on shield impact.

[@dmitriisuvorov1930]

So having a cannon fire one of shielbuster shells, then a few kinetic should make kinetic shells great again by removing their only weakness, so not even armoured&shielded crafts will be safe. But why I haven't seen somebody doing that? Are shieldbuster shells too weak to be used like that?

[@maxclark8601]

build a fleet of small ships but with good armorment

[@aprilvo6593]

Each ammo input counts as one shell each time the ammo inputs shells there for the cannon reloads faster

[@aidandixon6028]

Have harpoons... Then put super strong bombs made of pretty much just 1 short range magnet and then a ton of he charges on the bottom

[@thegamingcat3202]

Replace the haulers minigun with a cram cannon because if the heuler gets the target with the harpoons it can easily hit it with slow shells

[@themightyfour2692]

Reliability and consistency are your two favorite right lathland?

[@georgegames4079]

I love your videos there so crazy and I'm pretty happy to be a subscriber

If you have the right faction colors, the Artillery looks like it was made by the Covenant. Trust me, that actually happened for me.

[@prateekkarn9277]

lathrix, I really don't know how to make an awesome advanced cannon like yours, I make a sabotage shell and no damage, I make a heat and still it won't do any damage. None of it is actually satisfying. How do I make heavy armour melting shells?

[@chancedanforth7496]

What if you made the hauler into a quadcopter for more uplift?

[@sorianphire]

i wish you could make harpoons give off emp when connected to a target but i do love your videos

Lathrix whats up with you uploading so many glorious FTD video lately usually its every week or so ? i mean im not complaining

[@luxiuo]

Hey Lath! I've been sub'ed to your channel for about 3 years now and seen almost every video you posted since then, so am a very big fan ;) I know this comment has nothing to do with this video, but I wanted you to try out a game called "Stellaris". I think you would have a fun time conquering the galaxy with the Lath Legion ;) Keep on making great content!

How does he get it so that when he presses tab and goes into 3rd person, his camera doesn't sway so much? Thanks.

[@kieranmalenoir8705]

hey Lathrix, why not say refitting instead of up grading wen its to working on something You have taken over?

[@jimmylin8847]

U should have the bottom of the hauler have nukes, or make it drop torps, or make the turret anti missile

[@ac69cx]

So, I am thinking: If you made the hauler harpoons into torpedos they could hit underneath and flip the vehicle.._ maybe?

[@flouyume2020]

This is the video where Lathrix got his idea for his Tzeench water skimmer railgun missile craft on the Neter Campaign, and yes I just forgot the name was Fateweaver.

[@skydicostanzo7721]

make a submarine that goes under the enemy ship and sends out harpoons that come out the side, so it looks like the kraken when the harpoons connect.

Multiple ammo intakes are probably just for normal loaders.
