Hey everyone! So this video took longer to record than I think any video on this channel and It was a BLAST to record! I really hope you enjoy It too!! Now for a few quick notes! - My mic was playing up during the recording so some sections have a bit of a fuzzy sound to them, sorry! - At the end of the video the last fight is in the sandbox mode since I just wanted to test vs the Event Horizon but I forgot to record a section explaining that.. somehow.

Id love to see a sail only playthrough at some point. A fleet of pirate ships would be hilarious and amazing.

I love how Lath's mech came out so... lathy. It's not like the twin guard with all their fancy moving bits and lightshow shenianigans. It's a block of metal with guns. And sometimes that's all a person needs in life

Crossbones: *exists* Baby borg cube: “Hold my beer.”

Would love to see a "Melee/Contact drones only" playthrough, with flying drills, sword mechs, circular saws with jets and suicide drones

Adventure idea: you are Orks. You are not allowed to unbuild or replace anything. You are only allowed to just keep adding more. It will likely end up looking somewhat like that "flying weapons platform."

From the Depths is a series I would love to see continued. I'd like to introduce your next challenge should you choose to accept it. A Scavenger run. You can build whatever vessel you like, but you can't build weapons yourself. All weapons must be stolen from destroyed vessels using the prefab function (probably will require a quick trip to the sandbox to get it, that's totally fine), simple weapons are fine too. Can you defeat all who stand in your way with nothing but the very weapons they held against you?

Fun fact, you can add an origin block to your mech's torso, which helps prevent it from shifting its center of Grabity everywhere its arms move. Its what prevents the twin guards from having that issue.

the most intimidating thing about this approaching you is the terrifying strength of all the data links between all your drones to share detection data "sir we're picking up some low frequency radio noise, theres a target near us... wait, no, its getting much stronger... OH GOD rhats a lot of noise... CAPTAIN, WE HAVE A PROBLEM"

I'd love a limit break challenge, where there's no ship value limit and all gathered resources have to be spent on upgrades before moving to the next difficulty, and there can be only one weapons system of each type (or archetype/purpose). I wanna see some ridiculous, powerful, rapid fire designs that grow with each battle. Bonus points if the ship and/or drones break the size limits as well (longest/widest/tallest/heaviest/lightest possible construction).

Babe wake up new lathland from the depths video just dropped

I love how he says he’s never done drones before and a few minutes later he says I’m gonna do something I’ve done 1 million times a little airplane with missiles.

FTD is a series I would like to see continue!

I had a silly idea, adventure mode, but your weapons can only be minimum gauge APS. A swarm of 18mm murder hornets! :D

From the Depths is a series I would love to see continued. Seriously, these videos are some of the best content on youtube.

From one Borg Cube maker to another i salute your decision to embrace geometry based combat. I also find it amusing that not only did you also give it 4 lasers and a PAC but placed them in roughly the same spots as i did(but my model has them on all 4 sides and is a lot larger since i made it a Capital Ship)

43:40 Lath literally Becoming the Crisis with this one.

40:25 XD The way the main body of the Bombard disintegrated was absolutely freaking hilarious!

From The Depths was the first thing I saw on your channel, you actually introduced me to the game. I'd never even heard if it before the youtube algorithm popped your channel up on my feed. I just want to say the level of effort and dedication you show with your videos does not go unnoticed and it is appreciated. Thank you for all of your hard work and passion with the content you create. I cant wait to see the next FYD video you make!

The enemy vessels getting surrounded by all the different drones really helped in killing them, especially towards the end where the enemies are a lot tougher to take down. It does mean that you're not getting all the hits on one target, but it means that you can target multiple weapons at once. Also, build more Borg Cubes. They're fun to look at & could maybe be made to stack together to create a floating wall of guns.

1:08:10 the Necron Scarab is amazing Lath, love the subtle applique of 40k in your designs.

Lathrix, if you do a broadside craft with tons of particle cannons or lasers, if they’re on the same AI then they all target one spot, but if each were to have their own AI… It’s seriously a lot of fun as it makes it feel like you’re using simple weapon cannons but they all fire accurately and hit for so much more! LOVE the videos,I stopped watching for a few years and man has your format changed.. Hope to see FtD Neter 2024! I’ve already finished my rewatch of 2017…

55:00 I suddenly want to make a flier that uses rudder-flippers to swim through the air.

Terratech is a serie- wait... FROM THE DEPTHS is a series I wish to see continued in the future!

My idea for next challenge: Disposable drones only, you are not allowed to attach any drones back to your main craft and you can't repair them at all. I think that would restrict your materials you spend on the drones on it's own so that's all the rules. Even the particle cannon is allowed since it's expensive and the drones purpose is to die, if you want to make the challenge harder though you can add a rule that will disallow nukes. (Sorry that i suggest a drone challenge under a drone challenge video, but i hope you will use this some day)

1:08:02 Understandable. Getting distracted generally has entertaining results if nothing else. Sometimes distraction can generate a genius idea.

All hail the power of the cube! I'd love to see a melee only challenge! Really channel your inner Khorne.

Seriously thank you for the longform content. That its FTD makes ut all the better, and that it's you making that content, even more so. I'm happy to say I've been around here for years and years and years and so have you and it's fantastic to still be here on our from the depths journey. ❤

I've made this suggestion several times, but here's hoping this is the time you notice it 😂 I'd love to see a run where you use exactly one of each type of weapon. Maybe start with one of your choice, then add a new one with each portal you enter so that you can't focus on making one or two uber-powerful and neglecting the others. In the later levels you'd have to use your best judgement to maintain balance between all the weapons, but I think it could still be really interesting. Another idea that I came up with while watching this video. A one shot wonder-craft. You often limit how many resources you gather in order to not become overpowered early on. I'd like to see a run where you lean into the OP potential and design a craft that has only alpha strike weapons, no rapid fire, no mid-battle reloading, the challenge is to kill every vessel you encounter with just one volley. You could pick whatever weapons you want to use and no limit on how many, but whatever you come up with has to be fire slow enough that you can't fire more than one broadside per minute. That also means no point defense, or rather, a very ineffective point defense because it will only fire one shot. Obviously the game can be a bit unpredictable, so I'd rule that if you cut an enemy in half and/or knock out its combat ability with one hit, but it is technically still online, you can count that as a kill for the purposes of the challenge.

Lath should definitely include a few more "how to" sections in the vids. Ex: how to combine the PID and button controls where you can fly around and still be super stable. OR how to change altitude to presets at one click

The music at 50:00 with the combat is always so good

17:29 im in love with the way it seemingly YEETS the missiles lmaoooo

Im excited to see how this goes! i have been watching your From The Depths videos ever since they came out when i was a kid (checking that was all the way in 2014... wow), and they eventually inspired me to get the game for myself, even though i havent quite gotten the handle on how to make a boat shape, im having fun learning some of the systems of the game, and its fun to see you take some of them to their limit!

1:09:23 I would love to see a particle cannon only run. The [weapon type] Only challenges/videos are definitely my favorite and what got me to subscribe. Specifically your deep dive into cram cannons. Good stuff!

Just a little run idea: one weapon only runs/gimmick runs are great, but can get a bit repetitive at times so instead of that, what if you did and ultra hard run, the rules of which would be something along the line of your craft can’t be more expensive than the least expensive craft in the difficulty. To do this, you would probably have to ignore nuke craft, and count drone swarm’s costs collectively.

I believe the enemy at 50:30 is based off of the Atlantean lobster automaton from Atlantis. It’s also probably named Panic because in the movie it ambushes the sub the characters are on.

Lathrix, bulding a hydrofoil that ends up being an extremely stable flyer Me, whose dedicated planes can't go five seconds without nosediving into the water

50:30 The way that flying lobster moves is awesome. Kudos to the designer.

This playthrough planted an idea in my tiny little brain. For your next challenge playthrough, i would love to see a "no movement playthrough" (except for going through portals of course) which emphasizes on creating a battle fortress strong enough to withstand the enemies that dare approach it. Use guns, use drones, use everything and anything you want to make this happen! With an adventure bell and a small craft for going through portals like in your space playthrough, i think this could make for a really interesting challenge! Love your videos Lathrix, keep up the good work. Looking forward to more Terratech as well ^^

it never ceases to amaze me how many of these full adventure playthroughs you do!

After having watched you play this game since the old Neter campaign I finally decided to pick up FtD around Christmas. Since then I have spent over 20 hours in tutorials and designer and have yet to complete a single build lol. It’s still fun to build even though I have no idea what I’m doing, so thanks for making these videos I guess!

Took me 3 days to finish this video, as i kept falling asleep late at night to your smooth voice, yet wanting to finish the video either way! I found you with from the depths videos and i will always love them lad!

I'd love to see your next movie be one where you build a craft (whatever type or mode you want) that CANNOT get any bigger after level 30. You need to have the final size framed out and covered with wooden ar.or at the least before that point in the game. You can use any weapon, any defense, anything you want (invluding sandbox oncer per levelup), it just can't grow past that point.

I've been watching through your From the Depths videos over the last few days and I've been enjoying them a lot! I always wanted to love FTD but bounced off it every time I tried, and it's so nice to see it.

You know what I would love to see? A playthrough with no limits where he just doesn't hold back. Just straight up deleting his opposition with his raw mastery of this game

6:25 At the same time, drag is reduced - forward thrust is more efficient (or should be), upward thrust is less

Idea: 'Drive closer! I wish to hit it with my sword!' Have you done a particle cannon blade melee build before? The only thing missing was a defense drone with lots of laser point defense, could have been a mech holding a shield that the emitters were embedded into. Great video as always.

\o/ Drones, the thumbnail has me looking forward to Mecha style ships. :D

Happy to hear this was fun to make with how fun it was to watch. On the topic of PArticle Cannons, maybe a limit on one big-ish super weapon you can add late in a run but otherwise avoid? I love them, but they are quite strong. Don't know how well you could get them to work but I would love to see some Mortars in the future, I love large HE artillery in general and there is something hilarious about a huge, slow firing, mortar.

The cube is just so terrifying, it literally locks onto you and flashes red, and just vaporizes you.. Absolutely amazing.

i like the idea of a run where you can only use a single weapon, and i'd consider a cluster of missiles a single weapon as long as they are connected and the same size.

love these types of videos. the work you put into them really shows in the final product. love ur stuff dude!

I have only just started watching the video, and I'm already super-hyped for this challenge run

I will always enjoy your full playthroughs. Please keep making them as they're always great!

Great video! Now that you have made your archangel, I’d like to see a Mech full play through. Bonus points for moving limbs and parts! 2 arm weapons, 2 back weapons, and 1 more… maybe a hidden in the mouth weapon that fires plasma when mouth opens. All weapons must be different.

^3 I would love to continue seeing From the Depths. And what I'd also like to see (and had hoped for in this video) is doing "drone-weapons" like we see during the intro; not independant, maneuvering vehicles but pods orbiting or tethered to the main craft. Not well suited for being the only rule of a run but doing some of it would be nice (imagine several miniguns hoverng around your craft).

Nice. Really liked this run, and on top of everything else everyone has already said, I really liked the mechs! The head of the mech had a really cool design and had uncommon, creative weapons. I also personally think they did a lot more work than people seem to give credit for. :D

Ahhhhh!!!! My favorite youtuber finally posted a video I've been so long waiting for❤❤❤❤ very excited to see what shenanigans are in this video. Id also like to see an endgame wepon buld maybe cram but just one wepon

I love your videos, Lathland. I think my only wishlist for them is that you'd leave the names of the crafts you're fighting up slightly longer! It's cool to explore the different designs, but they're often only up for half a second. Even just a second or two longer would really help with not having to freeze the videos quite as precisely to check. Seriously though, you bring a lot of enjoyment to this viewer. :)

Always love to see more FTD content, i really enjoy these full playtrough videos!

Absolutely lovely. It’s always great to watch a Lathland video

Love this series, so good to be watching from the depths again

22:47 The solution to this is to place an origin block in the craft. Doing this will ensure that it is always positioned exactly where you want it to be, regardless of its size or shape.

I made a playlist of the long play throughs and I’ve been falling asleep watching them every night the past week lol trying to help those statistics! lol love the videos!

Love the vid! Would also love to see an episodic Airships conquer the Skyes series where perhaps you do a challenge run. For example no airships run

This was super cool! I really enjoyed it.

Amazing as always! Really liked the cubes and your guardians :) I would like to see a run where you may only use a single gun for damage and defense. It could be whatever you want but it needs to be versatile as well.

I forgot how much i love your content i watched when i was younger and as always you do amazing builds i couldnt fathom its making me itch to get back to FTD

Great morning to wake up to a new video! Amazing idea deciding on using drones! Still can barely make a weapon in from the depths myself.

Thankyou for continually being a giant dweeb Lath, these are good to watch while working; most of it is empty noise rambling and there isn't often much going on that I feel compelled to pay close attention to. Also every time it strikes me, this game's soundtrack goes way harder than it has any business to.

At 35:11, I went back ten seconds so it sounded like he wanted to change a turrent into simply plasma. It's still very in character of him.

From the Depths is a series I wish to see continued in the future! Also, the music was totally fine, it did nothing to interfere with your narration.

22:47 You made a Water Urbi! XD Trash can of the sea!

Love seeing the design process and how the builds evolve overtime. Would love to see a Mech only land playthrough

Just a personal opinion, but i kinda like the louder music in the videos Also, I just wanted to say i love the from the depths videos. It's what introduced me to your channel over 5 years ago, now i do believe. I've been here ever since :)

I love your long videos, they’re so good to have on while doing chores or stuff. Best podcast on the webs, big love lathman!

Hi Lath, love the videos. I understand the material limit for more challenge, but this does make me quite curious to see a run where you get to use as much as you want.

Man I feel sad that I didnt watch this video when it came out, this was really cool to watch! Great work on those guardians and thier super missles as well, seeing the full group fighting the event horizon it was a feast to the eyes :D. 19:30 letting the curiosity deal with the sub marine was a great move and the curiosity will be missed. In regards to particle cannons, I hope you don't end up banning them fully but rather add a cap of 1 or 2 of them with long charge time. That way they could be powerful but will need much more time or chance to deal devestating hits.

summoner class mentality

Been waiting for this one, and not even a minute through the video i know its gonna be a good one

YES! I love the idea of drones on FTD, excited to see this!

I have 2 challenge ideas. Challenge number 1.) You are forced to use ring shields as part of your defense. As you said in a previous episode, the reason is that you have not messed with ring shields, and I am curious how effective they can be compared to the regular shields. A bonus condition you can add to the challenge is that you are not allowed munition defense of any kind. This includes anti-missile missiles, anti-munition lasers/cannons/plasma, etc. Also, you are not allowed to become a submarine during combat, you have to be either a boat or a flying vehicle. You are allowed to use any weapons you want during the challenge. And at the end of the challenge if you do not fight it during the run, see if your vehicle can not only survive but defeat the Event Horizon similar to what you did in this video. Challenge 2.) Do a "simple weapons only" run where you are only allowed to use weapons from the simple weapons section. This can include the rams and if you are feeling brave enough, the nukes. however, you must use at least one of every weapon by the end of the difficulty level and must be present on the end game vehicle, (this does include the nuke however you are allowed to have the nuke be on a drone and the drone will be held by the main craft. to make this more tricky, you can not be allowed to use spin blocks for the rams, and you can use the turret parts to make a multi simple weaponed gun.

All these melee ships look so cool! Have you ever considered trying to do a melee-only run? I think it could present some interesting challenges! Great video as always Lath! :D

Loved the vid! I would adore a Melee only run! Also would be interested in seeing more classic munition defense like CWIS.

I would love to see this playthrough again with a focus on diversity on the different types of drones. I loved the turret idea.

From the Depths is a series I would *love* to see continued!

Gotta say, newfound respect for you. I got the game and on the third tutorial dropped it (for now), there are so many controls, and its so finnicky.

A NEW PLAYTHROUGH!!!!!!! THANK YOU LATHRIX🙏🙏

I had been missing you lath! And I think a one weapon run might be interesting, thought much more so if there was a way to set more numerous but weaker enemies. Either way From the Depths is something I would love to see continued in the future!

As always, more! I would love to see Torpedoes, Melee based builds, or maybe something to do with the nukes, as well as a proper Sub in one of these videos. Maybe a “Brawlers” only vid, where you have to have your weapons off until you reach a certain range? Would lead to some interesting situations, especially vs a satellite or deep sub.

From the Depths is a series I would simply love to see continued :).

Hell yeah! Always so happy to see a new FTD upload

you have no idea how much I waited for this video, and I just felt that it would come today.

Idea for a future run. 1) you only get one weapon per type of weapon. one missile system, one partical cannon, one autocannon, etc. it would be a unique chalange to balance what weapon is tasked with fast target damage, which gets defence, and which gets killing power. it would also be cool to see you super size the weapons. 2) you build multiple ships, and each ship gets one kind of weapon only. A missile cruiser, a cram cannon battleship, a autocannon destroyer, etc. one weapon kind per ship, and no duplicate ships or multiple ships with the same weapon kind. also, love the vids. From the deapths is a series i wish to see continued in the future!

From the Depths is a series I would love to see continued.

Bro made the event horizon do T-20 turret launch 😂 that particle cannon shot was spot on, got to love the lag when a massive explosion happens

Glad to see some new depths video. Not many new videos out there. Love these.

about the pyre, apparently the nukes cause it to "jump" everytime it releases one due to how its collision avoidance is set up, should be fixed soon(ish). Had a lot of fun watching this, please keep up the good work!

You have somehow mananged to keep my adhd ass focused on this entire video. I congratulate you for that.

That second set of drones is GORGEOUS!
