- Stable 4.3.2 - 4 June 2026
From The Depths v4.3.2 — Stable ReleaseThe headline feature of this update is the new sail system created by Luxon after many months of work. A long list of fixes across missiles, fires, steam, APS and more have also been done during this extensive update period. Also in this update I (Sean) have implemented a huge optimisation for buoyancy which should no longer make airpumps the crazy lag machines they used to be. After this update goes live I'll be looking at some other ways to further optimise performance which I've already had the initial OK on. Some Neter updates didn't make it in time, they'll be added next week at some point in a patch. Thanks again to all campaign builders and bounty entrants! Enjoy! Ship by Odez using new sails.AdditionsSails 2.0 - Added a new system to create sails, having an origin block that you connect to special attachment points.Broadside 2.0- Added an o…
- Japanese language support + Christmas Campaign + bug fixes - 18 December 2025
Hey everyone! Thanks for another great year of FTD, the necromancy spells still hold and FTD is still going. We are working on a new game (and have been for over a year now) which is completely not builder game or FTD related and is more of a tactical game like x-com but 1st and 3rd person. We'll let you know more about that later in the year, stay tuned and keep in touch! Still more FTD plans in the works too! Moving on... Well this is a year late because of issues outside of our hands but Japanese is now supported in the game, I know we already have a rather large Japanese fan base and its great to FINALLY give them a localisation option. 皆さん、こんにちは！ (I'm trying ok!) I did want to get you a sails update for Christmas but it is still in testing and still needs to be localised and I'd rather it was done right than rushed so it is coming, SOON! TM. Here's a picture from early testing. The…

- Stable v4.3.0 Breadboard UI Update and Missile breadboards - 3 December 2025
From the Depths - Version 4.3.0 Patch NotesRelease Date: December 3rd, 2025 Hey everyone, a sort of surprise update for most of you. I did a bit of a secret project and created missile breadboards! These allow for some interesting missile behaviours and guidance without being as broken as a LUA missile by using seeker information. Some of these might filter into campaign designs eventually, it takes time. This also comes with a gigantic UI change to regular breadboards that includes prefabs, checkpoint based undo redo and command based undo redo as well as many new shortcuts, components etc. This has been done with a huge amount of back and forth from experienced bread bakers and a huge shout out goes to the testers who provided critical feedback on some very, very complex issues. Awesome community as usual thanks! Credit to Cornholio's breadthing mod that contained some of the ideas im…
- Hotfix for critical performance issue in breadboard - 29 October 2025
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!

- Stable 4.2.3 - 31 December 2024
Hey everyone, in case you didn't notice. Stable is now on 4.2.3. Nick's been pulling extra shifts to listen to feedback and concerns and has addressed a lot of these with the changes below. Thanks to everyone who engaged in a constructive manner. Happy New Year to everyone when it comes and to those already in the future! 👽 Add Simultaneous mode option where UHJK (or any other combination) can be used for vehicles and WASD for the camera/build mode simultaneously with no need to toggle between vehicle controls on and off. See the Vehicle Key mapping tab of the UI for more details. Tutorials, Added a voice-over volume slider to the build guides (there is already one in the tutorials) Change Crosshair, Tidied up the drawing of the crosshair. It no longer appears in keyboard based building mode. Camera, Warping the avatar to a vehicle will make that vehicle the focus of the construct cam…
- 4.2.3 (minor patch) - 31 December 2024
Little update to the cross hair elements of the UI.. no cross hair is now shown in keyboard based building and none in general views when the mouse cursor is active. Fixed a bit of misleading UI text that stated incorrectly the purpose of left and right click when in mouse based building.
- 4.2.2 now live - 30 December 2024
Patch 4.2.2 address some of the feedback we received about the camera update. One of the most common complaints was the remapping of vehicle controls to WASD (etc) such that camera/build controls and vehicle controls share the same keyboard space and are toggled with CTRL. i.e. CTRL is pressed to swap between camera controls (and Q and E as interaction and fleet control UI) and vehicle controls. 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 bee…
- Christmas, Camera and Controls Stable Update 4.2 - 23 December 2024
HELLO DEPTHIANS. Wishing you all a great Holiday period! Before I begin... ALPHA TEST, BETA TEST AND EXPERIMENTAL BRANCH USERS. CHANGE TO STABLE. The Christmas Campaign is live and updated in this build. Thankyou to all of the Christmas builders! Microsoft OneDrive continues to be a royal pain. If you are experiencing issues like crashes or strange behaviours in game then please use the support system or go to the help channel in the discord or give me (Sean) a DM on there and I'll try to help! There is a workaround to bypass your Documents shell path if need be until we have a way to move the profile to avoid this in the future. Many people assume they don't have it when infact windows updates have stealth installed it and it has indeed hijacked a shell path. The issue is that it places file locks which prevents the game from being to access files it needs resulting in all manner of pr…
