Key Features
- Design and build your fleet, fortresses and structures however you want. There are currently over 1000 unique components blocks, not including 38 different components for making missiles, torpedoes, depth charges and bombs and 34 different components for making the ultimate cannon shell!
- The sky's the limit, you can equip your vehicle with cannons, lasers, mines, bombs, missiles, torpedoes, propellers, rudders, jet engines, wings, hydrofoils, hot air balloons, anchors, blueprint spawners, repair bots, air pumps, automated control blocks and many, many more!
- Physics - every block destroyed or added affects the vehicle's functionality, physics and control. Drag, inertia tensors, buoyancy and sealed compartments are all updated based on the design of your vehicle and the damage sustained.
- Be part of a fantastic community with new releases made on average once a week. Community organised challenges and blueprint sharing make it an extremely friendly place to hang out!

Customizable Components
The customizable components in From the Depths allow a unique level of engineering customization:- Design custom missiles, bombs, depth charges and torpedoes by combining various warheads types, fuse types, IR seekers, laser beam riders, laser designators, thrusters, navigation algorithms, sonar seekers, buoyancy compartments and propellers, to deliver a truly bespoke weapon.
- Design cannons by combining four different barrel types and lengths with auto-loaders, warhead types, ammo boxes and auxiliary components to create everything from AA cannons to howitzers.
- Design AIs by combining an AI mainframe with 'AI cards' slotted into motherboard blocks. Add radar detection, laser detection and tracking and local weapon controllers to give partial or full control to AI. Create anything from a fully AI controlled aircraft carrier to a battery powered drone.
- Design custom engines using crank shafts, cylinders, carburetors, super chargers, exhausts and fuel injectors. Electric engines, generators and chargers are also available for backup power supplies and drones.
- Similar systems exist for the creation of anti-vehicle and anti-missile lasers, drills that can cut even the largest of battleships in half, Particle Cannons, Jet engines and more

We discovered a critical memory issue within the breadboard system which is why some of you were reporting it as feeling slow. This patch fixes the problem. Please note the other work on breadboard I've mentioned previously and some of you on the discord have seen me working on is not this update, its now entering a test phase.
I've had some reports following the security fix that people have lost access to their FTD profile. This is caused by antivirus it seems, you need to add exceptions to your AV.
Thanks and happy building!
This build updates unity to 6000.0.60f1 to fix a flaw in security discovered by a white hat hacker that Unity rolled out a critical patch for.
Bugfixes mostly.
Additions
Controls, It is now possible to focus enemy craft through the AI control menu.
Changes
Gameplay, It is no longer possible to build within 75m of an enemy craft (In combat only).
Fixes
Plates, Triangle plate mirroring fixed
APS, DIF (Direct-Input-Feed) cannon reloads can no longer be bypassed by changing the cannon gauge or using separators. (In combat only).
Steam, Fixed the large steam boiler connector not properly connecting while rotated into a specific position.
Flamethrower, Fixed the back connection flamethrower base, it no longer points south.
Controls, Fixed a bug that made it impossible to focus on the adventure raft while using legacy controls.
Missiles, Fixed bug that caused missile sync to fail unless they are set to full salvo.
Alpha build Live 4.2.5
Access the alpha builds by going into the Steam library, find the game, right click on it and go to properties. Click on the betas tab and choose alphatest alphatesst
Just remember that this doesn't always hold the latest version of the game and should only be used to test things. On a stable update always remember to swap back to stable.
Fixes:
Animation block, Removed errors when trying to spawn a locked avatar type.
UI compass, Fixed the azimuth positions of enemy markers on the in game compass.
UI, The screen no longer rotates when the mouse cursor is moved to a different screen/application.
CRAM, New CRAM 2 way connector now connects front and down instead of right and down, as per other 'corner style' connector pieces/pipes. You'll need to replace any of these.
Missiles, Fixed exceptions that can occur when gantry blocks are deleted in certain positions.
LWC, Deleting an LWC that had an active failafe check should no longer lock the weapon.
Changes:
Missiles, New proximity fuse component now uses 8 hitscan rays to find a target and will move the detonation point onto the target. EMP, incendiary, and HE move to the contact point. Frag moves to the contact point and is directed towards the contact point. Thump is also applied for consistency at the contact point. This means it should achieve the optimal hit on the target regardless of payload type removing any potential for a "noob trap."
(These can be rebound)
Key binds, Numpad 2 is no longer bound to camera-mode-cycle which is now purely TAB. Numpad 2 is reserved specficially for construct-mode-camera.

Construct camera, Reduced the smooth duration in the construct camera orbit distance scroller.
Drills, Components of the drill system are now immune to impact damage like rubber to make them more viable.
Fixes
Regression, Fixed the UI issue in the width value of the prefab window.
Saves, Construct saving now has a check to make sure that the save is valid before overwriting the original file as the JSON serialisation has been known to fail and write empty white space.
Fill tool, Fixed an issue with the fill tool when filling far from the origin of the game world.
CRAM, Two way connector now has a mirror part.
Pivots, Pivot parts should now render as decorations correctly.
APS, 7m clip now uses the correct mesh.

This patch addresses that issue by providing a button in the Vehicle Key Map tab of the options menu to rebind the vehicle to UHJK (etc). There is also a button to bind back to WASD (etc) if you wish. When the bindings are in UHJK (etc) the game has no conflicts between WASDQE for camera/UI/building and vehicle control and as such activates SIMULTANEOUS mode in which CTRL is unused and both camera/UI/building commands and vehicle commands are executable simultaneously- the way FTD has always been.
Another complaint was that warping the avatar to a vehicle did not make that vehicle the focus of the construct-cam. That's been fixed. This means that when you press tab to swap from avatar to construct cam your construct cam will be looking at the construct your avatar is on. Thanks for raising that issue.
Projectile cam no longer disables weapon use and can be tabbed out of as per other modes.
And I fixed a residual camera movement that made it quite hard to tab out of construct cam immediately after moving the camera around.
Various other small fixes are included in the patch, and the previous patches dealt with things like the avatar jumping out of chairs whenever space was pressed.
Thanks for bearing with me whilst I gather up all this feedback and address as much of it as I can.
Happy holidays to you all,
Nick Smart,
Project lead
