Lathrix commits a war-crime, the video!
Might as well make it a series at this point
Stellaris, you say?
@@tomstring3043 the Kaiser approves
@@archapmangcmg Holy Exterminatus
Nukes are not war crimes. Just FYI.
Can you imagine how terrifying it would be to engage in vehicle warfare against this man? He appears in the middle of nowhere, starts building incredibly effective craft, destroys all of the other factions easily and then starts deploying ICBMs without any remorse or offering any treaties or terms of surrender. And then, when you finally meet him, it’s just some jolly British chap playing a game for his RUclips fans.
Lathrix is a mad scientist. Simple as that. :D
I just wrote this little song
Whoa he comes and whoa he goes the most deadly jolly fell-ow lath is back and lath is ma-aad so watch your back cause whoa he comes and whoa he goes
I hope lath sees this...but it is unlikely
Music?
Just a thing I made, I kinda hope lath uses it or heck anyone using it would be cool, cuz I am not sure I'm any good
And then you're prepared to shoot the ICBM out of the air in a quite cost-effective manner.
If lathrix is now making ICBMs while sober, god help drunk lathrix’s enemies.
*Lathrix arrives at Onyx throne, chugging fireball as fast as he can, bottles lay upon the floor* "I have nuclear lasers"
@@mickey_mousey i can so see that
You think god can save them?
Drunkrix is unstoppable!
Hear me out, ""RAMMING ICBM""
That ballet dance between the two nukes with the destructive finisher was pure art
Probably something Khorne would watch
Didnt you know?
True art...
*IS AN EXPLOSION!!!*
hmm yes... art....
Yes, yes it was, it was glorious!
Missles: "i am inevitable"
Lathrix: "i want to use less missiles so I made a nuke"
If you're using nukes you don't need quite as many missiles, so still technically correct.
quality over quantity
Now the question is do rockets/rpgs (Unguided missiles) count?
@@drunkengibberish1143 A missile is basically just any kind of projectile, so rockets also count.
Bullets could also technically count, but that's the generic definition, and in context missiles are usually self-guided in which case rockets would not count.
"Missiles are overused, so instead, I use ballistic missiles."
I have had quite some success in using ram-tips on my self-guiding warcrimes, with the nuke right behind it.
That way I can use the ram as a penetrator, and have the nuke detonate further inside the target, maximising my warcrime-per-material ratio.
Wonder if you could couple that with additional thrust to give it a short but fuel excessive burst of speed just before impact.
Is that imperial units? warcrimes/material?
@@solsystem1342 Yes, metric is lives/material.
Was going to say that myself!
You know what I use as a penetrator?
The same kinda deal, it's actually incredibly effective you dirty minded people.
Oh god the end is nigh, what fool gave him access to nuclear weapons
No one he made them
Well, at least he didn't put a warp drive on them...
@@SephirothRyu yet...
we gave him the powah to make it
@@SephirothRyu prepare when he does it
Blood for the blood god!
Skulls for the skull throne!
Nuclear fire for the enemies of the 'good guys!'
And Milk for the Korn Flakes
@@Chaos77777 Oh yes, the most important one!
Milk for the khorneflakes!
Warp Drives for the nukes!
Nukes do things for all the chaos gods, it seems. Khorne is obvious, Tzeench for fire and change, Nurgle for disease and death, and Slaanesh for excess (in explosives).
Dream S-I-MP
Soon as I saw the title, I knew I had to watch immediatelly
I think most of us did, Uni work comes second to this
Why you stealin' my pfp >.>

@@mercwiththemouthsnewphone6798 underrated reply, this is pure gold
Need a space-station ICBM launcher called 'Khorne's Middle Finger'
Oh dear. Now I picture a space station shaped like a hand giving the finger, and that finger is a icbm...
@@Nicmadis Don't worry, if Lathrix doesn't that kind of design will make a fine addition to my fleet next to the melee focused submarine shaped like a penis (complete with testicles) and my fortress made to look like a giant donut. Until the sprinkles open up and reveal all of the guns, that is.
@@TheDemocrabWHAT
@@WildmanTrading You heard what I said.
I also have since made a flying pig (vomits missiles and poops bombs) but then got sidetracked by playing train games.
I saw the title and thought "he did what?"
The way lathrix said goodbye at the end was so smug.
How about putting a spike on the front and letting it Penetratie the armor and then explode
Yes, with ram blocks
@@user-nd9jp2lj2r oh god, so if you had a layer of armour that is all that is keeping your ship from getting absolutely ruined, if that gets poked by a random pipe jutting out from the nuke..................................
Problem with that is that rams negate impact damage like rubber if they're the point of contact, so a "perfect" hit could leave the nuke rubbing up against the target. This could then be solved by a detonator ACB, but that's a bit less satisfying than seeing an immediate explosion. Using a heavy armor cap can serve the same purpose.
@@JabberwockOclock Oh no, I'd argue the delayed explosions are far more satisfying. Just have it punch into the enemy, wait a beat, then BOOM. Brings a smile to my face just thinking about it.
@@jadedandbitter "I thought you said it worked?!"
"It does"
"Then where's the explosion-"
also: I think that's less ICBM and more cruise missile, in terms of operation.
I can just imagine Lathrix using it to "subdue" all other empires when Nemesis Expansion comes out and he becomes the big baddy in Stellaris.
This is a virtual hug
It is the payload of a tactical comment
It has been fired from over the sea, but its arrival is inescapable
Lathrix you have been hugged!
Tell me more about this “Geneva Convention.”
Well it’s less a set of rules, but rather a set of suggestive guidelines.
@@imperielgenecist1317 and it does not apply to good guys
Whats that? Is it a type of Slush Puppy?
It's that thing the US calls the "Geneva Suggestion."
The easiest way to explain it is to just watch the whole pirates code thing from pirates of the caribbean, it's the same thing but with politicians instead of pirates which makes it far more boring.
Next episode, lathland makes a submarine to launch these.
i love that it veers at the last second and hits where it's not expected, that little random chaos to make it that tiny bit harder to predict.
We all know lathrix likes missiles, and now he is making what he likes :D
I absolutely adore how this turned out aesthetically. Beautiful work.
The manical laughter is great, the craft is such a great concept
I saw "Nuke" and I saw "From The Depths" and I Did. Not. Hesitate.
I saw lathrix and didn't hesitate to click it
@@macaroni8273 I mean, I saw what I saw, *THEN* saw that it was a Lath vid, sooooooo...
Many of you forgot to like and comment. You'll end up like Larry. Yes, this is a threat.
Thanks for reminding me BT
Ug, larry
Oh god.
Larry is regretting existing
I accidently missed the like button and disliked your comment, sorry.
I kinda hope you try to build a genuine ICBM, like goes up, floats very high up (This is the only problematic part I see because I m not usre if there is "space" in FTD) and then drops like 3-10 warheads on the taget one after another, in fact you can even do it more realistic by making some of those warheads duds which would make it harder for AA to deal with, it is a intermediate challange but looking at your past builds I m sure you can pull it off (or maybe it is a job for drunktrix who knows)
Hi there, sorry for the incoming wall of text. Such a thing is entirely possible within a few limitations. Mostly, you'd need to actualy get a larger missile-like vehicle into space which would require awkward and/or expensive thrusters. Because in-game vehicle docks fail past 100 M/S, your actual high flight would have to be rather slow, unless you made the larger missile construct it's smaller missiles when approaching the target (which would be more expensive and would leave it vulnerable while building).
Otherwise, yeah. It would work - you could use the Breadboards to tell the missile to fly in space until it was within a certain distance to the enemy, then switch over to a "point at target" system for the descent. That should, in theory, work at any angle so top attack would be viable and pretty hard to defend against although it might miss more agile enemies. As for the dud warheads, just using some metal armour around a "missile" with a ram on the front would work. Most AIs prefer closer and more heavily-armed targets, so if your dud was faster then it might soak up some extra attention from the actual payload missiles.
I can visualise the missile using several "stages" spanning from it's launch through to impact:
- Stage 1: Main missile ascends to space, aiming to level out at around 1,500m (Skip this stage if you're lauching the missile from space, of course)
- Stage 2: Flight at 95 M/S until within 2km from the target (5 M/S is shaved off to account for turning)
- Stage 3: Submissiles detach, with the faster duds detaching first or from in front of the actual warheads
- Stage 4: All missiles accelerate to their top speeds on short delays to stagger their impacts, switching AI to "point at target"
- Stage 5: Missiles impact in this order: Duds, Submissiles, Main missile
All of this is entirely possible within the systems I'm familiar with, and I'm a below average player.
@@zetarhythm3503 Okay nice I knew it had to be possible the only part I had doubts about was the floting above athmosphere part (oh also real life icbm's take aproximatelly 30 minutes to reach space anyways so it would be realistic, and I mean we are not going for practicality lets be real)
@@zetarhythm3503 I could build an ICBM the way I said it if I played FTD but I doubt buying it just to build 1 contraption worth it lmao
@@MonsterPumpkin Space is only around 1KM up in FtD so you can reach there pretty quick, but once you're there you tend to go real fast if you have enough ion engines. If you do get FtD at some point, just know that there are regular updates which often mean you need to redesign stuff from the ground up. It's a pretty good game if you like building these things, though.
There is a Space, but it only drastically lowers the weight, I think.
I'm sure someone's already mentioned this Lathrix but if no one has, here ya go! When you're in the mimic/deco UI, if you just type in "mimic", blocks unique to mimic meshes will pop up and can be used. These include cones, spheres, and donuts amongst others. Otherwise, that is a spectacular little ICBM that I will definitely draw inspiration from.
I saw the title and expected drunkthrix. I am now terrified.
I had this idea so long ago, i was like: hmm this would be cool if built in ftd. Thx lath
When I first saw the title I thought it said friends inside of enemies.
no views, 36 likes and 17 reactions, of which only 7 are displayed. This is called eventual consistency
this is spectacular! what id really love to see is a swarm of nukes going for one of the biggest ships in the game
That missile you have would make for a great boarding torpedo. Just strip the nukes and add rams with a little section to hid in, smash through their armour and plunder away.
I'd love to build one of these but with a spinblock drillbit at the end so it burrows into the enemy first
So happy to see you post always make my day better ❤️
That's a very nice design! Good job!
Lathrix your videos are always so nice. I discovered you in lockdown and your from the depths vids have been amazing to just have on whilst im painting or doing schoolwork and have been just amazing to watch! I really hope the irl stuff going on for you rn gets a bit better and hopefully the plaguetimes are on their way out (i think we're looking at about august before everyones vaccinated here in north wales. idk where you are but i hope its going okay!)
You appear to have built a rocket from a 1950’s sci fi movie.
I feel like it would be a good idea to make a more efficient version, just to circle the targets to distract their aa defences and let something like a bomber come through.
I've built something similar to this. Was doing 200 meters per second. A guy on my discord made one with the small CJEs and was going about 100. I also had an ejector nuke version that fired in high arcs using acbs and turreted thrusters and a bombing run ai. You can use sphere's, they are in the UI and just stretch it out to make a nose cone.
Hey lathrix
Can you do the land campaign again it was fun to watch and I think it would be fun to watch with new designs and mechanics
I can say your intro beat to beat now I love that I've watched this series for so long!
Looks good, a bit stubby, so more like the kind launched from submarines which is fitting.
That said... How about a mini sub with a nuke?
Always happy to see a Lathland video!
question, would you be up for making another of the prefab/simple weapon only craft? that was a fun process to watch
A thought -
Add a battery or 2 and a laser or something to the front, as well as a delay in detonation (or maybe velocity-based detonation) so it can lodge itself into the bugger some more before *nuke*
If you just type "mimic" in the mimic menu, it'll give you a list of shapes like spheres and hexagons. Useful for making crafts look better :s
Lathrix, try using a fuel refinery and make the end pointed for a really nice nose for the nuke. I promise you that it looks fabulous. I used it for my prop plane!
Real life has a way of seizing priority. We will still be here when you have more delightful content to share. Maybe not patiently waiting but waiting nonetheless.
And rejoicing with you when you have the chance to play and upload. Especially liking the Kingdoms and Castles and (especially) Stellaris content, in my case.
Yes.
Idea; make a craft the spawns these in, instead of creating them yourself. Call it the bunker buster, and give it a nice green tint :P
Just an idea (and for the record I don't know what types of controls and such there are and how exactly they work) but what if you were to put a ram onto the front of the missile and put the nuke a few blocks behind, then have a controller that tells "after x amount of seconds after impact, detonate nuke". To try and make a sort of "armour piercing nuclear missile" because from what I've seen the nuke does a lot of damage against medium sized craft and does mainly external damage. This way the missile digs in and then blows up to do more damage to both the inside and outside. Possibly making it able to shred through heavy armour targets.
I love how epic the music was when the icbm was about to hit its target but you forgot the nuke, and btw, you say you aren't that artistically creative, but I think you have always had a style of your own and it's only been developing more I really like how you build and how you give reasons, or not, for your crafts to be how they are.
Gotta say I still find it interesting that they removed fuel, and a way further back time, the different materials like natural and crystal and have made them all into “material”
same thing but with the nukes on rotor arms, that deploy at 100meters.
multiple nukes in the same blast area is only going to help is one nuke wont kill the ha blocks.
Glad to see you back with From the deptsh
Glad to hear that things are in a better space for you in real life~
The marauder: "It's just circling us, MENACINGLY!"
Have you considered adding a Ram to the front? With the speed this thing moves at you might squeeze a fair bit of extra damage into it, maybe even penetrate deeper into craft to do more overall damage.
Mass drivers can be even deadlier. They're basically railguns with no recoil absorbers firing graviton rams into a projectile to fire it at ridiculous speeds, dealing immense impact damage. Adding nukes to the projectile makes it deal even more damage.
as funny a failure the first attempt to make it ram was, just slapping a turret on it and having it pepper the target while flying fast circles around it would look pretty rad.
The Nuke tends to get stuck on water when enganging target whilst being on lower altitudes with "Point at" AI(even when focusing blocks above water). You can fix this by adding another behaviour card and add "Bomber" behaviour, then set altitude that suits you and let ACB switch from "Bomber" AI to "Point at" AI at your desired range.
Also love the work with mimics, didnt realy knew how to utilize them, but now i cant get enough of them. Cheers!
just a tip, Mimics contain some meshes that placeable blocks don't have. So in some cases the mesh you need isn't actually on a block but the mimics got it
Your back! looks very nice as well!
I know the control surfaces at the front help a lot, but consider putting a few rams there to make it (hopefully) penetrate a bit and then explode
Nice! Good guys use 'noooks'! I'd love to see some of your designs on the workshop!
Love the ftd keep up the amazing content
Every time that nuke hits a flying target, it's like it got punched and is staggering, and I bloody love that.
Reading some of the other comments about putting a ram spike on the tip of the icbm sounds like a great idea. would it be possible to make it with a few spikes that spin to add extra damage? combined with a small set of thrusters that ignite just before impact to help the icbm burrow before detonating?
As I recall the ammo parts of both APS and Cram cannon explode, could you load up a bunch of those into a ram craft to do serious damage? Also, using rams to armor the nuke to punch deeper into the target before exploding?
Could you please make a version that just has a ram on a stick. Basically make a nail that impacts and then gets stuck (and then confuses the targetting of the enemy).
I asked how to do this in the discord so long ago and just found this. THANKYOU LATHRIXXX
I would love to see you do a joint PVE game with some other people. Some in-game banter would be entertaining, at least that's my thought. Keep up the good work my dude!
I can already tell this will be good
Saw the notification, as i tried figuring out what ICBM stands for all i could think of was: "I C boom.... More" which i think fits perfectly for lathrixian standards
Good to see you back in the algorithm, Sergant.
icbm go up into low atmosphere and then down ontop of target. cruise missile have control over terrain/turning etc.
you should make a MIRV
2 variants: a small, fast, lightly armoured one for fast agile targets not requiring the usage of a heavy payload. And a larger variant with multiple warheads for larger targets.
Hey lathrix, how about a refinery as the nosecone? Its a perfect half sphere if you hide the bottom
I do really enjoy your build videos.
wouldn't put the word lovely and ICBM in the same sentence but then again thats why we have you lathland.
also always enjoy watching your vids at this point its a insult to even ask :D
Would you be able to put a ram or a few on the front so that you could dig deeper into the enemy craft before detonating? That could massively increase your effectiveness.
The damage on those nukes seems kind-of disappointing, compared to some of your cannons and the cost of firing one. Could you maybe add some rams to the front to try and get the nuke a bit deeper into the target before it goes off?
Also, on the topic of potentially cheesy, but also potentially interesting, have you considered using graviton rams to launch spawned (so you have a cannon with graviton rams pointing at the back of an object you want to launch at your enemy, rather than shooting them with the cannon directly)? It could allow for some rather large and creative projectiles or even an initial launch system for ICBMs that actually go to space without wasting a bunch of fuel to get there.
You should do a From The Depths video where you show and explain how to make those vans cannons shoot so rapidly
In current version of FtD you can even compare the cost of your Nuke which If I recall correctly final version shown in the video was ~7k?
to how much it costs to fire huge missile + huge missile silo components.
Yeah I think this is actually economically valid
'today we are building nukes!'
Yep this can't get better , this is peak Lathland here
'we will be using jets'
Oh my god it just got better
Welcome back man!
More FtD content!!!! Yay
Also as much as I love it please take care of yourself Lath!
With the intro of huge missiles, I was under the impression that suicide craft were on the out.
I am not sur eif Decorations can use these, but what about actual missile thumper heads? for the nose cone? They look exactly like what you forced the sonar block to look like without deforming them and should be easier to put onto the body.
You just made my day
Lathrix the game ender i like it
Also always remember to stop and rest when tired as you have done alot of times and it probably help as much as all the other times
There are mimic shapes like spheres and rings you can use
Thanks had a hard day and I can now sit back and watch you build a nuke and play stellaris.
Hey lathrix! it occurs to me that this missile could be a great testbed for the drills! You Know what Khorne demands of you!
Lathrix I don't know if you know but custom jets have jet generator blocks that convert thrust into engine power. You could use that to power thruster blocks.
Yup, but that does also reduce how much thrust It generates - the control blocks It has now work better the faster the craft Is going and don't cost engine power so that just seems a better option for this build! I have spoke about the generator part before when they were introduced.. just not used them yet in a proper build, really should soon! :)
My own personal take on an ICBM has a 4m loader with 4 clips and electors so when the nuke goes off it causes the ejectors to go of and spew some odd hundred 250mm shells (normally HE/Frag or HESH) into the enemy XD.
Lath land and rams
Even if The nuke survivas the other enemy’s will still shot it and the craft it is in will target it and will drive wired and it will blow up at some point so bonus if it dose not blow up insteadly
Nukes, with extra steps!
I have a couple ideas for weapon/vehicle designs, feel free to skip this, It's just an idea list
1: A submarine with harpoons on the tip of a very long corridor, rams and other items on it, with a door used as a boarding vessel by penetrating underneath.
2: Mjolnir. It's basically a "Hammer" that starts out as a scout satellite, used for surveillance and such, but can drop out of the sky, using lots and lots of EMP and then just rams into the enemy. Much like a space battering ram.
3: Duplication craft. Craft that duplicates itself. Nuff said. (Name idea: Clostridium. Named after the fastest growing bacteria, Clostridium perfringens)
4: Iceberg. Ship with only small amount of it visible (I think like a submerged coffin nail, with lots of torpedos)
5: Frill-necked lizard. Thruster craft with a collapsible shield which opens up in combat, maybe swarm missiles that open up along the frill and shoot out in every direction, one turn on them and just destroy everything. And when not in combat it collapses, creating a nice and streamline jet used to satisfy everyone's inner sonic to go fast
6: Porpoise. A hydrofoil submarine that not only pops out of the water but immediately dives back down, and maybe flies a bit.
7: Cloud Catcher. It swallows ships. Using multiple spin blocks combined with pistons it opens a large mouth like that of a basking shark full of drills and spikes, then just compresses. Terrifyingly cool.
lathland you could add some ammo creates to the nuke I think that might increase the damage done while being cost effective. Ps love your vids and I hope your issues will be sorted soon
What if you put rams on the front, and still used a control block to detonate it? So it dug into the enemy before exploding? Would that be possible if you say had the laser detonator pointing out of the side of the craft?
