Two Important Things! Firstly a huge thank you to the sponsor of this video Robocraft 2 which can be found on steam to wishlist & download the demo right NOW here - Bit.ly/RC2_Lathrix Secondly editing mistakes! I was sick with COVID during the recording and editing process, so that's my excuse. - The difficulty 5 + 10 pop ups are in the wrong spots, 15+ is correct however! - There is a clip of a fight at 41:20 that was supposed to go with the fight later on with the Braveheart. No idea what happened there! I did end up in FOUR fights vs this ship so maybe I mixed in one which I didn't include somehow!! - Some fights cut a bit too sharply, this is because there is a RECORD amount of clips used in this video and It might be the most footage I've edited down for any non Stellaris video!!

1:25:11 looking at it in the designer, it has a breadboard with a bunch of code i don't really understand, but it seems to flip upside down if its target is below the base, altitude wise? testing against various aircraft seems to support this. its hand is also capable of various poses, pointing at enemies it detects and giving a thumbs up for a short time after they die. its head even has animated movement. the last noteworthy detail is the mainframe is called Angel of Death
A note on how vehicles deconstruct when destroyed: the blocks that sort of "deconstruct" first are the blocks you placed first when making the craft, and then the blocks that "deconstruct" last are the blocks that were placed on the blueprint last. Thats why sometimes it will deconstruct so beautifully and why other times its so random and messy :).
I think one of the reasons you ships look quite "bath tub-y" is because the water is really transparent. I get it does help film some ships, but with it being really transparent it is harder to see the waterline on the ship. Maybe try colouring the blocks you want under water a different colour or a darker shade? Like how ships irl have red underbellies?
I do normally do try to do just that! I tend to just set the 'alpha' of the underside a lot higher to make It several shades darker, but since this run had the outer hull change so much I never got around to It, the difference Is shocking honestly!
If you're sick please get some rest. Don't force yourself to make a video to fill the gap, just post a community post saying you're sick or explain the absence in the whatever video you make once you're better. I Hope you get well soon.
Much better now thank you, and don't worry I never force myself to work - Just a week of not recording at all seems.. horrid! I tend to work through bouts of illness more of a distraction than anything!
Something about the rules to consider is that while being the average cost of the enemy vehicles is a good idea, multiple of them can show up so being 20% or even 30% more is still a fair fight on average.
@No--One at least lathrixs designs at the start are worse with more charges his first plasma cannon with 6 charges did around 3k-4.5k damage and his big gun with 50 charges does 35k-45k sure thats like a 10x charge for 10x damage but its clearly crippled by using one big charge seems way better to fire maybe 4 shots to drill through instead of wasting all the damage on tearing all the armour off. Plasma cannons appear to work like irl lasers do surface is destroyed but it does barely anything to below it so needs more individual shots
@No--One im aware of how it works thats why i said multiple weaker shots would be better especially since the propagation absolutely takes out a sphere around where it hits and then goes further
1:17:35 The zoom into the WF Leviathan and the subsequent battle with the music was so fitting. Their music in particular is just ridiculously over-the-top good for some reason. Apparently the name of this track is just 'Spanish Inquisition'. Congratulations on the sponsor, as well! Continuing to hope for a bomber run of one of the two adventure modes.
Nick and crew have made some, imo, pretty stupid decisions as of late. The resource rework in particular was such a huge pain in the ass, and anime girl dlc? really? That's what you spend your time and resources doing instead of expanding the game's mechanics, fixing bugs, and polishing older mechanics? Either way, the one thing that has been consistently good from the start was the music. The old FtD soundtrack that's been in the game since custom cannons were a thing is sort of nostalgic to me and the new battle music is so over the top kickass that I can't help but like it.
The Event Horizon is in my opinion most underrated craft in the whole game. That thing managed to shoot trough one of my best ships clean from the nose too the back in a single shot
Proud to see you get sponsored, Lath! A couple of friends and I always try to mimic your adventure challenges with our own multi-player saves. Always a blast!
It's an amazing time, and I do thrive on chaos! With so many hands working at once, it can be an amazing time. Someone works on the hull, another on weapons, another on the engine. It's actually turning out to be an excellent way to introduce new players to the game. They can just focus on a single system at a time, learning how to put it together, while the rest of the ship forms around it.
Lathrix being sponsored by Freejam, as Robocraft is a game I have very fond memories of, makes me very happy. Also, From the Depths is a Series I wish to see continued!
Y’know. With how combat heavy this particular episode was, It makes me realize how much I actually enjoy the ship building sections in each long video. I would be okay seeing you go to the ship builder every so often to see you work on your ships rather than see it constantly get ripped open every couple minutes
You don't want to do this with plasma CIWS; because Plasma isn't like other setups. It's way more energy intensive to constantly generate charges while firing (as you're not using stored charges), thusly when using all-plasma like this playthrough, you'll either need to compensate with massive energy production + storage, or a massive gun.
@@toxicthereporter515 he means have the turret already face the enemy so it takes less time to target and rotate to incoming munitions, so it responds faster. nothing to do with reload rate or resource consumption.
Wdym another full campaign unless I missed something lathrix never finished a campaign, the start of the last time even Started with him stating that this time is the time he will finish it, nothing against that. I too never finish games and just start over constantly even after 60h on a save
@@joelisvysniauskas4653I don't know about his older stuff but one of the reasons why I got hooked on the channel was the 2017 campaign, with the chaos legion theming (the Bloodhound torso that he stuck on one of the adventure ships was one of the designs from that campaign), was finished despite the Scarlet Dawn designs glitching out a lot.
I did finish the campaign in which I built the Khorne Flake drone to begin with, along with a silly vehicle montage at the end showcasing all the designs I used throughout that insanely long run! Still one of my most memorable experiences in FtD! :D The showcase after the last episode (Ep36!) - th-cam.com/video/Xtdrg6pVaT0/w-d-xo.html
I'd love to see both more robocraft and ftd in the future! I remember growing up watching your crazy robocraft antics. Also weird challenge idea. Teleportation is not very utilized. What if you used that as your primary method of movement? And hell. Throw some graviton rams on your guns. Breaking physics and beaming around sounds fun
Congrats on the sponsorship! Hopefully that helps with TH-cam being a bit of a goofy goober about long-form content because from the depths is absolutely a series I’d like to see continue in the future!
sorry what ex-headmin????????????????? thank for contributing to making my highschool experience a LOT less worse :) Robocraft is a blast, glad to see RC2 coming being more and more serious
I must say I adore these full playthroughs you have been putting out lately. I like that I can watch them the whole way through or in segments just as I please. Also a great way to wind down before going to sleep after a long day. Keep it up!
A sudden 2 hour long FTD challenge of only plasma is a very welcome surprise; Another very good surprise is the Robocraft 2 sponsorship (though it seems it will be more demanding in hardware than the first game so i'm also kinda sad) Also i am absolutely loving the extra details you put on the sides of the ship
4:06 God i cant belive it i just to love this game so much (robocraft) even made a chanell where I built the craft better then the most popular build for tier 7 on youtube from some guy called Rose something , I'm so happy that they sponsored u for this since ur one of my favorite TH-camrs of all time !
Hear me out: capture focused adventure run! Instead of upgrading one ship, capture new ships and make them your flagship, scrapping your old one or making it an ai-controlled minion each time. Rule of cool applies, only switch ships if the newer one is better than the last or you like it more, and you can upgrade your ships as much as you like! Should make for a fun variety focused adventure run :)
I quite like retrofitting AI ships to meet different needs, and since I absolutely suck at building from scratch (mostly since I end up drastically overengineering the armor and making a hull that's like 400k on its own) is usually the way I go about it in the early game.
Lath, mate, please don't speak badly of your gameplay & designs. They're great. You're doing great. Don't push yourself down with extreme expectations and feelings of inadequacy. If you've won a battle, it's because you played tactically and cunningly. In a naval battle, having the better guns isn't always gonna guarantee a win. But playing to your strengths, and exploiting the ennemy's flaws will. Also, having excess ressources isn't a bad thing. You can never have too mich of it, especially when the ennemy will outgun & out Armor your crafts 90% of the time. So don't feel bad for lingering in a difficulty, o should you feel bad for capturing ships. If you've battled it, you've earned it's spoils.
1:21:0 try making your turret neck deck holes 3X3 and covering the space around the connecters up to the turret itself with heavy armor, it helps with turret popping alot. its something to do with how damage is calculated on the main hull vs subconstructs iirc Edit: loving the FTD content on the channel, and I wish to see from the depths contuied in the future! and mabye robocraft 2 when that comes out!
Plasma is the second weapon system i learned(after advanced cannons), and i did it without a tutorial. And you don't need the connectors, you use those for turrets and routing the plasma to the gun from a protected location.
Honestly im so glad you're making FtD content semi-consistently again. You being the main reason I now have my number 1 most played game on steam at 1875 hours and counting means ive seen all of the the updates, ever. From custom cannons and the split resources to modern FtD with its plasma and MOAM's (Mother of all Missiles.) Its strangely nice to see if come nearly full circle. I, along with probably many other comments, do encourage/request another campaign playthrough soon, as i feel the changes truly do make it worth hopping into one, but i will also admit that im happy with just any content of the game at all. Somehow, nobody else quite manages to hit the nail of this game as well as you do. Thank you, Lathrix.
This is one of the only times I haven't skipped past the sponsor section on ANY video or channel, because I remember your Robocraft videos! Also From The Depths is a video series I'd like to see continued in the future.
It's love how in most playthroughs you use mostly piercing weapons so that the enemies look like sieves with lots of small deep holes, but here it's just BOOM big crater, BOOM deeper crater, BOOM chain reaction and the enemy becomes a shell with most of the innards missing.
Intentionally making the ship rock forward and backward was a genius idea It's great seeing what the new weapons can do! The Lathrix battleship is always formidable. And as always, this is a series that I wish to see continued in the future. Love these movies
That might be the first sponsorship ive ever watched all the way through in my life. Who would have thought someone watching a pc game would want, ya know, pc game ads. And not crap like Raid... Awesime video lath, hype for R2 and great run as always.
That robocraft 2 sponsor was soo heart warming, you got me into robocraft and now they sponsor you! that's amazing, can't wait to watch ur future robocraft shenanigans!
Congratz on the sponsor, mate. Robocraft was the game that got me into the blocky build-o-rama games in the first place. Nice! edit: Imagine if someone had invented something like superimposed barbettes to avoid shooting off ones own turret caps^^
ROBOCRAFT COMEBACK LESHGOOOO!!! You introduced me to it however long ago and it was my absolute favourite game for a time and I thank you greatly for it. Maybe I'll see you on the battlefield for Robocraft 2
Holy, I had no idea Robocraft was getting a sequel. I wasn't very happy with how the game evolved, so I really hope the devs have learned from it and make Robocraft 2 the best game it can be. The fact it's going back to 5v5 is a good sign. I remember watching every single Robocraft vid you put out back in the day. Comment for the algorithm, because this one is gonna take a while to get through x3 I'm still not sure how I feel about plasma, honestly. It feels so strong with very little counterplay that's not just "build bigger and use actual air pockets", which isn't really a fun way to defend against.
i'm only about an hour in but i've really enjoyed this video so far. these are probably the most scrappy fights i've ever seen, and i've been watching your from the depths since forever ago . really love to see you not steamrolling everything with no problems for once (though i did miss your last drone run so that might have been rough too). also congrats on the sponsor, i'll use that promo code right now!
Congratulations on the sponsorship!! I do remember discovering and watching you play robocraft back in 2014. Which, wow, I just realized was 9 years ago. I really hope robocraft 2 doesn't turn into a pay to win game as well.
Lath, real quick I'm not mad whenever you do the precise targeting on zoom. I know it may feel cheesy, but its so satisfying to see the explosions happen close up.
3:45 oh my god robocraft that brought me back to the past that game was so good. and that was a smooth transition. also are you going to play robocraft 2?
From the depths is indeed a series we would love to see continued! Also, what were those leg/claw-like sponsons on the bottom of the Leviathan? Can that thing grab onto enemy ships that get too close and just shoot at them from point blank range/stabilise them for the nukes?!?! Terrifying if so. Thanks as always for the AMAZING FtD content Lathrix, can't wait for the next one! Here's an idea: Much like the Vulcan Megabolter from 40k is just a HUGE minigun - how about a full-auto, rotary plasma/particle cannon array :P The BRRRRRRT must bring the HURRRRRTTT!
oh my god the nostalgia, i've revisited robocraft like 3 times within the past 3 years hoping to see that it was alive again. I had no idea the devs were making a sequel to it, this news makes me so happy! I use to love running around in my goofy hollow battleship horse mech that had like a dozen basic machineguns so it would just pepper down anything by death to a thousand bullets.
I’ve really enjoyed this play through, thanks for taking the time to put it together. I’d like to see a run through with a giant fixed cannon on a flyer - something capable of coring an enemy in one brutal shot. Just a big cannon and some ciws style point defences.
Never change what you do Lath, never even heard about FTD before I found your channel. Your ftd and stellaris videos are always very enjoyable and quite unique.
I never thought I'd se lath with a sponsor. Proud of you, mate. Also I hope in this game we'll be able to use megabots again since I'm very much so someone who design and plays behemoths.
Great to see more FtD, also good job with the sponsorship!! Would love to see a challenge run focussing on more close range weaponry (melee or cram only for offence or something) just to change it so it's not just whoever has the range wins. fantastic run and video though, love everything you put out. Keep it up man! (also holding out for another full campaign as the last one was my favourite series of yours)
Wow! And the designs of all those ships and flyers. From the small normal but intricately fashioned ones to the absolut beasts of futures still to come.
Lol, the game just decided you had enough for the day. On another note it is amazing to see not only a sponsorship for you, but also it being Robocraft *2* . What a time huh.
27:28 my favorite soundtrack in the game, banger fr, also I feel like this build is one of those hard in tye beginning but surprisingly effective late game type of deals as my prediction. Also that nuke was personal
I have been watching your FtD videos for the last couple of weeks and can't believe I hadn't subscribed yet. Really love to see more content. I still trying to get the hang of FtD. Would really love some more explanations sometimes on how the weapons you build work. Like what exactly you do to increase precision of AI among other things. How certain systems work together etc. Overall love your content~ keep it up :)
Two Important Things!
Firstly a huge thank you to the sponsor of this video Robocraft 2 which can be found on steam to wishlist & download the demo right NOW here - Bit.ly/RC2_Lathrix
Secondly editing mistakes! I was sick with COVID during the recording and editing process, so that's my excuse.

- There is a clip of a fight at 41:20 that was supposed to go with the fight later on with the Braveheart. No idea what happened there! I did end up in FOUR fights vs this ship so maybe I mixed in one which I didn't include somehow!!
- Some fights cut a bit too sharply, this is because there is a RECORD amount of clips used in this video and It might be the most footage I've edited down for any non Stellaris video!!

1:25:11 looking at it in the designer, it has a breadboard with a bunch of code i don't really understand, but it seems to flip upside down if its target is below the base, altitude wise? testing against various aircraft seems to support this. its hand is also capable of various poses, pointing at enemies it detects and giving a thumbs up for a short time after they die. its head even has animated movement. the last noteworthy detail is the mainframe is called Angel of Death

In a naval battle, having the better guns isn't always gonna guarantee a win.
But playing to your strengths, and exploiting the ennemy's flaws will.
Also, having excess ressources isn't a bad thing.
You can never have too mich of it, especially when the ennemy will outgun & out Armor your crafts 90% of the time.
So don't feel bad for lingering in a difficulty, o should you feel bad for capturing ships.
If you've battled it, you've earned it's spoils.
1:21:0 try making your turret neck deck holes 3X3 and covering the space around the connecters up to the turret itself with heavy armor, it helps with turret popping alot. its something to do with how damage is calculated on the main hull vs subconstructs iirc
Edit: loving the FTD content on the channel, and I wish to see from the depths contuied in the future! and mabye robocraft 2 when that comes out!
Plasma is the second weapon system i learned(after advanced cannons), and i did it without a tutorial. And you don't need the connectors, you use those for turrets and routing the plasma to the gun from a protected location.
Honestly im so glad you're making FtD content semi-consistently again. You being the main reason I now have my number 1 most played game on steam at 1875 hours and counting means ive seen all of the the updates, ever. From custom cannons and the split resources to modern FtD with its plasma and MOAM's (Mother of all Missiles.) Its strangely nice to see if come nearly full circle.
I, along with probably many other comments, do encourage/request another campaign playthrough soon, as i feel the changes truly do make it worth hopping into one, but i will also admit that im happy with just any content of the game at all. Somehow, nobody else quite manages to hit the nail of this game as well as you do. Thank you, Lathrix.
Support for the algorithm. What a great playthrough!!.
1:52:30 Okay, that is very epic and fitting. Also, congrats on your sponsorship!
This is one of the only times I haven't skipped past the sponsor section on ANY video or channel, because I remember your Robocraft videos!
Also From The Depths is a video series I'd like to see continued in the future.
Well done, Lathrix and fellow human equivalents of the feeling when your local team does good sports at the local sports event, here be sponsors!
Hey, I suggested this lol. Also love the design's progression and final design. I also hope he plays Robocraft 2 when it comes out
This is a series we wish to see continued in the future
Also im unsure ive ever seen you do a sponsorship, but i feel this one fits
It's love how in most playthroughs you use mostly piercing weapons so that the enemies look like sieves with lots of small deep holes, but here it's just BOOM big crater, BOOM deeper crater, BOOM chain reaction and the enemy becomes a shell with most of the innards missing.
Intentionally making the ship rock forward and backward was a genius idea
It's great seeing what the new weapons can do! The Lathrix battleship is always formidable. And as always, this is a series that I wish to see continued in the future. Love these movies
That might be the first sponsorship ive ever watched all the way through in my life. Who would have thought someone watching a pc game would want, ya know, pc game ads. And not crap like Raid... Awesime video lath, hype for R2 and great run as always.
That robocraft 2 sponsor was soo heart warming, you got me into robocraft and now they sponsor you! that's amazing, can't wait to watch ur future robocraft shenanigans!
Congratz on the sponsor, mate. Robocraft was the game that got me into the blocky build-o-rama games in the first place. Nice!
edit: Imagine if someone had invented something like superimposed barbettes to avoid shooting off ones own turret caps^^
Hearing Lath mentioning robocraft randomly after all these years made my heart skip a beat
10:24 saddest noise ever: “that was mean 😕
Keep up the amazing intros, buddy. Got me laughing right out the gate. You're my absolute favorite youtuber!
found you on robocraft and to see you here now still having fun and being sponsored by them is immense
been watching from the Robocraft days as well, cant believe its been 8 years. congrats on getting sponsored by them.
I always occasionally come back to your channel and your FTD videos are always incredibly fun
(Also definitely checking out that game)
ROBOCRAFT COMEBACK LESHGOOOO!!! You introduced me to it however long ago and it was my absolute favourite game for a time and I thank you greatly for it. Maybe I'll see you on the battlefield for Robocraft 2
I'm so glad that you make such long videos, it helps my adhd with it's hyper fixation
you should pit all of your adventure crafts against eachother and see which one is "the best"
I need more ads reads from Lathrix. He’s always had such a nice voice and the scripted reading complements it perfectly.
Holy, I had no idea Robocraft was getting a sequel. I wasn't very happy with how the game evolved, so I really hope the devs have learned from it and make Robocraft 2 the best game it can be. The fact it's going back to 5v5 is a good sign. I remember watching every single Robocraft vid you put out back in the day.
Comment for the algorithm, because this one is gonna take a while to get through x3
I'm still not sure how I feel about plasma, honestly. It feels so strong with very little counterplay that's not just "build bigger and use actual air pockets", which isn't really a fun way to defend against.
i'm only about an hour in but i've really enjoyed this video so far. these are probably the most scrappy fights i've ever seen, and i've been watching your from the depths since forever ago . really love to see you not steamrolling everything with no problems for once (though i did miss your last drone run so that might have been rough too). also congrats on the sponsor, i'll use that promo code right now!
I quite enjoy seeing the shots hit when zoomed in far more than the long distance vague shape impacts lol
lets go lath super hyped to see the robocraft 2 sponsor! I just downloaded the demo yesterday and cant wait to see the full game
I watched a lot of Lathrix and Aavak when I was in highschool so long ago... So happy to see this!!!
Congratulations on the sponsorship!!
I do remember discovering and watching you play robocraft back in 2014. Which, wow, I just realized was 9 years ago.
I really hope robocraft 2 doesn't turn into a pay to win game as well.
Lath, real quick I'm not mad whenever you do the precise targeting on zoom. I know it may feel cheesy, but its so satisfying to see the explosions happen close up.
So freaking excited for Robocraft 2!!! Great video btw :)
wow i just got robocraft 2 lastnight i was so excited when i saw that demo ive been playing robocraft for years
From the Depths is a series I wish to see continued in the future!
3:45 oh my god robocraft that brought me back to the past that game was so good. and that was a smooth transition. also are you going to play robocraft 2?
Yup I will be! :)
been loving all the new FTD playthrus you've been doing!
“Greetings you human equivalents of the feeling of when your local sports team does good sports at the local sports event.” -Lathrix, circa 2023
From the depths is indeed a series we would love to see continued!
Also, what were those leg/claw-like sponsons on the bottom of the Leviathan? Can that thing grab onto enemy ships that get too close and just shoot at them from point blank range/stabilise them for the nukes?!?! Terrifying if so.
Thanks as always for the AMAZING FtD content Lathrix, can't wait for the next one! Here's an idea: Much like the Vulcan Megabolter from 40k is just a HUGE minigun - how about a full-auto, rotary plasma/particle cannon array :P The BRRRRRRT must bring the HURRRRRTTT!
oh my god the nostalgia, i've revisited robocraft like 3 times within the past 3 years hoping to see that it was alive again. I had no idea the devs were making a sequel to it, this news makes me so happy!
I use to love running around in my goofy hollow battleship horse mech that had like a dozen basic machineguns so it would just pepper down anything by death to a thousand bullets.
I’ve really enjoyed this play through, thanks for taking the time to put it together.
I’d like to see a run through with a giant fixed cannon on a flyer - something capable of coring an enemy in one brutal shot. Just a big cannon and some ciws style point defences.
Never change what you do Lath, never even heard about FTD before I found your channel.
Your ftd and stellaris videos are always very enjoyable and quite unique.
25:00 😂
This is why you always hook up a siren sound block to go off when a new enemy shows up within 5km
I never thought I'd se lath with a sponsor. Proud of you, mate.
Also I hope in this game we'll be able to use megabots again since I'm very much so someone who design and plays behemoths.
Great to see more FtD, also good job with the sponsorship!! Would love to see a challenge run focussing on more close range weaponry (melee or cram only for offence or something) just to change it so it's not just whoever has the range wins. fantastic run and video though, love everything you put out. Keep it up man!
(also holding out for another full campaign as the last one was my favourite series of yours)
Wow!
And the designs of all those ships and flyers.
From the small normal but intricately fashioned ones to the absolut beasts of futures still to come.
40:55 nice timing on that shot, it hit right on time with the music.
A run using the largest missle size and simple weapons would be entertaining.
Lol, the game just decided you had enough for the day. On another note it is amazing to see not only a sponsorship for you, but also it being Robocraft *2* . What a time huh.
Maybe it's just me but I am loving the "Greetings you human equivalent of X" introductions. If I could give more likes I would.
51:19 “ITS A DRONE” love that
glad you got a sponsor, it's good seeing you grow
27:28 my favorite soundtrack in the game, banger fr, also I feel like this build is one of those hard in tye beginning but surprisingly effective late game type of deals as my prediction. Also that nuke was personal
Im so happy robocraft 2 is coming out, i was watching since the block teir change in robocraft and this made my day.
What!!!!!!!! The sponsor is amazing, this is the only ad I have ever watched. I used to play it on beta!!!
Can we all appreciate that lathrix's building has gotten better? also yay sponsors! :D
I have been watching your FtD videos for the last couple of weeks and can't believe I hadn't subscribed yet. Really love to see more content. I still trying to get the hang of FtD. Would really love some more explanations sometimes on how the weapons you build work. Like what exactly you do to increase precision of AI among other things. How certain systems work together etc.
Overall love your content~ keep it up :)
