Can I Beat FtD Using Only The Most EXPENSIVE Weapon? | FULL Playthrough | Adventure Mode Gameplay 

Firstly I'm so sorry this video is late and I really do hope you enjoy It One of the most fun times I've had in FtD! Now, as usual here are the editing mistakes since this is a Lathland video: The difficulty 25 pops up twice, the second should be a 30! At 1:10:40 ish - The first fight sadly the game crashed (Issue with being on the alpha test branch, lots of crashes. At least 10 in total) and I forgot to remove that clip before the next fight vs the jellyfish lad happened. At 1:51:55 - I check the config to make sure damage was set to only regular (1.0, which it was!) since I really thought I had left it incorrectly high after doing some tests with anti-cram PAC weapons moments earlier in the sandbox mode! ...I was very tired. I also mumble "Wait a sec, why must you do this to me" as I got a text and my phone was resting on my mic stand, hence the sudden pause!

From the depths challenge idea: crab you are only allowed to walk on the bottom of the ocean and must resurface only for portal travel.

From the depths is a series I would like to see continued in the future

Reminder you can mimic a block called “empty” to avoid making things small and hiding them when hiding blocks!

Usually not a big fan of minimalism, but the top half of this vessel is honestly probably one of your best! The two banks of fixed particle cannons, the very large round turret, and the spinal mount guns were all so cool. Also, you mentioning campaign mode made me realize just how long it's been since you've done campaign mode. I'd love to see you do one of these challenge runs in campaign mode, especially if you try to build up an entire fleet and faction in the style of this ship. I think the aesthetics of the craft from this run would look so cool expanded to an entire fleet of different vessels.

Blood for the blood god! Skulls for the skull throne! Likes for the algorithm! And Milk for the Korn flakes

Lathrix: "This is my favorite video in from the depths." Next time on From The Depths: "This is my favorite video in from the depths." Challenge idea: Angry Beehive. Your goal is to make more than double digit small craft that either suicide into the enemy, or otherwise swarm and sting the enemy. All melee weapons allowed plus nukes because nukes are fun regardless of effectiveness. Show the enemy why they should fear bees. Also allowed 1 or 2 larger melee dronecraft to be dubbed Murder Hornets.

"See scatter lens is interesting rather than increasing the damage as you add charge time instead it simplifies more beans" 17:24 I can't unheard it now.

blue, particle damage, and inlayed with demon heraldry... you made a weaponized demon core and took out the screwdriver lol.

„This time, we’re not going to build plantoons“ Still builds plantoons minutes later

I think I know what happened to the singularity, I have often used ring shields and one of their quirks is that they are HIGHLY volatile, during use energy is pumped into the ring shield, if one of the ring shield tubes is destroyed said energy is released violently like a damaged particle cannon. you hit several of their ring shields with the piercing shots and they caused a chain reaction

"Little baby fluff balls take up every moment of your life! I underestimated that."

Here's an idea for another challenge run. No holds barred, any weapon or tactic, but your maximum size/cost is SEVERELY limited, so you have to fight up significantly above your weightclass. I think it might be cool to see an absolute underdog taking out behemoths.

Dont worry too much about lost footage man, its impressive enough that you made 3 weeks of footage into a coherent and genuinely enjoyable viewing experience.

"science vessel got angry"🤣

Lathrix: Do you see that enemy? Particle Cannon: Yes? Lathrix: WELL I DON'T WANT TO!

I think that PACs prove that this game is overall astonishingly well balanced, considering what it's chosen to add. They do obscene damage and have no counters but don't overshadow other weapons simply because they're inflexible.

I love minimalism, puppies and blowing the brains out of Twin Guard craft in particular. Jolly good video, you've won From the Depths yet again! 😁👍

you slapped that singularity so hard only its engines were left 1:35:01 Not just so hard the game had to do a "Node graph out of date; rebuilding" moment, but so hard the entire rear of the enemy ship didn't know what to do with itself

THANK YOU for still uploading long form content in this day and age, it is my saving grace as an unmedicated ADHD teen to keep at least a smidgen of my attention span from getting sucked into short form videos by watching your stuff. also, ur dog is awesome -w- b edit: btw, awesome job on that crossbones fight B]

You really PACed a lot into this video

Hi! I just wanted to stop by and say that I have been watching you for years - your content has been critical to my development of humor, as well as who I am today as a person! Commenting for the algorithm, and, in addition, just to say thank you for making awesome content!!

You would save yourself a lot of headache by making your craft a bit bigger and adding large storage sections. You're full around 29:00. Any damage you take to containers in that state is extremely costly since you lose the contents. Just go overkill on cargo containers - get 500,000~1,000,000 storage so you don't have to worry about losing any or adding small amounts of storage bit by bit as you go. Containers are cheap and very durable.

From the depth challenge idea: you are only able to use an even number of each weapon. So in the beginning, you can have 1 aps, 1 cram, 1 laser, ext... but you have to add one of each every time you want to add more. And an extra idea to make it more of a challenge, you have to make then roughly equal power. So you can't just have a really overpowered laser, and the rest is just really weak.

I haven’t finished watching the video yet, but one thing I can say is the ship designs you make are absolutely beautiful!

I’m so glad that we still have a RU-vidr making quality long form content that isn’t just stream vods

Runs into ship with massive several hundred-ton hydrofoil craft at 330 km/h: Literally nothing happens

love this minimalist design! (although it would look really cool as a low in the water ship)

Such a minimalist episode.

I love minimalism. I don't know any other way of design, honestly.

From The Depths is a series I wish to see continued in the future!

Huge minimalist here - absolute fan of minimalism.

never clicked a video so quick, been waiting for a FTD for a while, not to mention a particle cannon playthrough

Came in with a minimalistic design and completely wrecked the final boss with the first shot, followed by taking down the incapacitated enemy over time. Good show man, good show!

Great times with particle cannons, but what about something... simple? How far can you get using only simple weapons?

Also, having watched through this whole thing I can see why you had so much fun with this run, and your new minimalism approach worked very well. Not quite as fun as your old blood and skulls approach, but far more practical for a craft that is going to regularly be completely redesigned.

38:24 Well, it is a cloud. A very dense, metallic, pointy, painful cloud.

Recommendation for new playthroughs. Heat upon heat: HEAT rounds with fire damage Stargazer: Deep sub diving with some sort of penetrating shot pointing up (Railguns, partical cannons, etc.) Defenses are allowed. ---Finished: You my fire when ready: Have some sort of laser setup that will punch through a vehicle as quickly as possible. The sky is falling: Mass missles/cannons/cram from orbit. All da dakka!: small cannons/projectile fire that overwhelms the enemy You can't touch me: have a main weapon encased by a rotating drone/follower/shell? unit that encases you in armor, which you automatically repair. Catch me if you can: Make a high agility vehicle with a high DPS burst weapon.

Screw the Blood god, Father of Change is my new best friend! -(and soul-sucking, mind devouring, out of cosmos elder god)-

FTD challenge idea: Rapid fire only; all weapons used must exceed 800 rpm. Let the skies fill with bullets, beams, and missiles in disturbingly high volume!

More FTD, we love you

some quick calculations: For a given arm length, short range has better damage than vertical lens at ranges closer than 866 meters. 973 meters when compared to long range lens. And a vertical lens has better damage than a long range lens at ranges closer than 1082 meters.

1:50:50 Ringshields deal a lot of damage to the craft itself if they are damaged, so likely your emp blew up a ringshield corner and then the damaged shield just deleted something crucial

I respect you managing to stay involved in the game, even when playing it through a week it all still looks like it was done in one sitting!

love the long videos frfr, somehow can be focused the whole time with your videos

Lathrix PLEASE do a full campaign playthrough. I used to enjoy those so much back in the day and I think it would bring a lot of people to the channel. Adventure mode just doesn't have the same allure as huge fleets of precisely optimized crafts.

1:47:00 What a nice minimalistic design

You probably wont see this but: you are the reason i started playing from the depths and now its my favorite game, ive been playing it for years now and love it, also your old tutorials help a lot, id love to see some new ones on the newer weapons and ai components

Well, Jellyfish DONT have a brain, so it fits that you completely obliterated the Jellyfish control systems!

I am once again suggesting twin craft challenge. Basically, you build two crafts with similar shapes but different styles and very distinct arsenal/personalities. Losing one twin results in a complete loss. There's a lot of potential crafts with this mechanic, like DNA spiral airship, Terraria's Twins boss, and more. Quite an artistic challenge!

Lathrix FTD video RAAAAAAAH

These challenge runs really make me exit my comfort zone with FtD, I had never touched PAC before watching this video, now it might be one of my favourite weapons. Today I made a spaceship that has a PAC main gun, because I realised the strike kinda looks like a lightning strike. (It was an ugly ship because I still build giant rectangles)

As an ork player, I would call that Brain Bursta.

this has been my favorite design of yours aesthetically. I just love it. The starter design was great, the larger design was great in a very different way and I loved it even more.

Just started watching and already enjoying the Vid. At the risk of coming across as a "play the game my way" internet opinion type, I do have a suggest or "From The Depths Challenge Idea" Setup: I love these vids because of the weapon system development, deployment and evolution but it's missing a element - Battle Doctrine or Engagement Tactics. Set at the start of development (to help define the WS requirements and attributes) example: NASCARs - ET is to turn left. So the WS requirements are a biased steering geometry. Now say if you set your ET at the start being " only engage whilst moving - close distance with contact at speed whilst maneuvering {holding fire} - Set course to intercept once in range of PLRWS (Presion Long range Weapon Systems) - Engage - Intercept contact at speed - engage HAEWS (Alpha Strike) when in range - Pass contact at speed on presenting vehicle side of most biased defense - Evade to orbit around contact at max LRWS range (or evade to the contacts Max LRWS if you get your ass handed to you) If you build you ship(s) WS's and Layout to fit a Doctrine I believe you will create some OUTSTANDING Killing Machines and enthralling content! "If you find yourself engaging in fair fights you have failed in planing"

Animal inspired run. You vessel must be based of an animal of your choice and must match a trait of the animal of much as possible. Eg turtle/ tank. Shark ambush. Something like that

A warm greeting to the new fluffball! And Lathrix, of course!

I love all of your from the depths videos, i used to be super interested in the game but i've not been able to be as drawn to it as i used to. Whenever I watch your playthroughs, i'm always watching every single second of your videos.

All hail the baby fluff ball!

I do love minimalism. Do you know what else I love? Your videos! Keep it up

Lathrix: Do you see that enemy? any weapon: yes Lathrix: lets test the weapon at max power a second later gone and at the dissidence a enemy spawn with the same weapon Lathrix: Nigerundayo

I have to say, these long videos never fail to keep me completely and utterly entertained. Thank you so much for this quality content!

Minimalism 👍

1: FTD and these runs are absolutely a series I’d like to see in the future. 2: I’m guessing…. Diff 85? Yeah that sounds reasonable. 3: thanks for the video! Edit: HI MILLIE! Such a cutie.

Congrats on the good fight! It's always better to watch you having fun!

FTD was a core game that got me through some rough patches in life and I absolutely love too see that your still playing it all these years later! 100% love these long vids and HIII MILLIEE OMG SHES SO CUUUTE

I loved the minimalism that you gave to the ship

59:00 I gotta say the emp was really doing it for me. It's very mesmerizing seeing that glorious blue lightning fry the opposition. Plus I love the color!

FINALLY Lathrix learns the power of synchronized delayed firing!!! Try impact then explosion. It makes the explosion so much more powerful, due to the way explosive damage propagates.

minimalism 😸... also I'm sorry you been dealing with irl problems man, keep up the great content when possible; found this channel recently very very helpful in my from the depths learning experience.

PAC are the 2nd most powerful weapon, in my opinion, in the game. The first being a "parasite" swarm craft I once made, that you launch at the enemy, and it latches on, and uses the grindy drill melee weapon and just eats through the enemy slowly. You deliver the parasite swarm payload with a mothership, them, retreat, preferably deep underwater, and wait. It takes a while, but it has the highest resource-per-damage effectiveness ratio. You can kill the most powerful ships in the game with a relatively small swarm. Ships aren't built to deal with things inside of them them, nawing away at them. That's why it's so effective. Maybe worth making your own, and making a video on it. It's OP af, but very fun, for a while at least. Good enough for a video.

I really like your minimalist particle skip lathrix!

I would love to see a partical cannon only campaign! Keep up the good minimalist work, Lath!

I think Tzeentch blessed your minimalist creation, especially the EMP. they now need caustic weaponry so you can be blessed by the Grandfather.

Minimalism is really neat if done right and i think you did it right, good job Lathrix :3

This episode did not have minimalism in terms of its length (and I love it)

These videos always brighten my day, I've been watching for a long time, loved the intro the most back then

Nothing like a PPC to fry your enemies. -A Mechwarrior, Marauder II pilot.

I like your minimalistic designs! And the intricate too.

For your melee-only run, could you allow yourself melee drones? It could be really fun to have little mechanical termites chewing away at the enemies' insides.

I absolutely loved this video and have now gotten a new form of respect and love for minimalism :D No but for real, thank you for uploading these videos. From the Depths has been a game that has always had my attention but I just can't bring myself to dedicate myself towards learning it, so I'm really happy I still get to indirectly enjoy the game through your videos

I love all your videos Lathrix I've been watching for years and you just can't seem to escape the impossible pull that is From The Depths. I do hope to see a full campaign playthrough at some point as I'm not sure you've ever done one from beginning to end, but I know it can be poison for the algorithm even more then long form videos. Best of luck to ya and I'll be here all the while.

I hope most if not all health problems in the house of lathrix are recovered. Im glad the long form content is here to stay, even if it takes longer to make. Ive watched every single long from the depths videos plus some other games i dont play. Thank you for providing these awsome movies of enjoyment, minimalism and utter destruction. Is there any other way i can support the creation of these video's? Also, hi Milly (aka little baby fluff ball)

I love when you start using the scatter lance, your ship just has the periscope of death

gone as quickly as he came, far, far too soon. a man of the people just trying to help being an absolute Chad. Rest in peace Larry, you will be missed.

milimnism also wow particle cannons are good. they seem like a weapon that works very well in 1v1 combat, but might not be as effective in battles with many enemies, since after that initial strike there is a period of waiting where you cant do much

I love the guard rails on this one BTW! The small details like that really make them look so good!

Been watching your channel for years now. You've been a staple of my childhood from watching you play terratech beta to FTD. Absolutely love the content, hope one day you might do a campaign style once more but nonetheless keep up the fantastic work!!

Gotta admit the block confetti is so satisfying to watch, especially on an initial hit. But, it's kinda funny to see an enemy just go brain-dead from a single hit of blue haze. edit to add: minimalism. gotta love it.

Let's see how good my memory from casual listening at work is. Hello to Millie, the time devouring fluffball. Congratulations for playing well with the new boat!... But also haha you forgot to capture a freebie. Minimalism is good for The Algorithm! Praise be its name! Always fun to watch/listen to these challenge runs and learn the quirks of each weapon type. May Millie show mercy to your time and insomnia.

Honestly, I love seeing EMP hit aircraft and watching them fall out of the sky. Piercing is great for the big guns as you send waves of "tendrils" boring through the ship, which you kinda need for the really heavy armors. More shots beats super strong ones, once you've got sufficient pierce

The minimalism of the glorious algorithm is superb.

what you made towards the end made me say: "this isnt glass cannon, thats Infinity Gauntlet" and now I desire to see someone to make just that, flying Infinity Gauntlet with each finger shooting differently colored and type of particle cannon shot

Your videos have been really cool to watch even though I have not played from the depths yet Honestly I think one of your videos is what got me interested in it to start with

I like EMP, mostly cause I lean towards assassinations when fighting. I quite like seeing a perfectly intact flying fortress suddenly just... fall. Also, it's "goss" (like "ah") or "gawss" (like ow) depending on what kind of british you are, imo. Also, I would suggest asking the discord when design becomes agony.

For some reason I honestly love the idea of gutting a target but leaving it mostly externaly intact, lkke taking a tin can and removing its center

I was just rewatching all of these yesterday and lamenting that there's not more of this series, lets go!

I like the way you made your minimalist design - your terror spreading structures are olways so beautifull

Your from the depths of videos are my favorite thing on RU-vid and has been for the past few months. Your content perfectly tickles my tism when my brain is wired

Walking out of work and seeing this video is out changed a rough day into a good day. Thanks for the huge amount of work you put into videos like this.
