[2026.1] Living Depths

Living Depths The ocean floor in UBOAT has always been a flat, empty surface. Drop to periscope depth, look down - nothing. This mod brings the seabed to life. The North Atlantic floor in 1940 was anything but empty: glacial boulder fields, seagrass meadows, weed, shellfish and fish drifting through the gloom. Living Depths fills it all in, streaming quietly around your boat as you move. What you'll see Rocks & geology Plant life Benthic life Fish Placement is procedural, so no two stretches of seabed look the same. Save compatibility (v1. 3+): saves created with v1. 3 or later are safe to load even after removing the mod - the mod no longer writes anything into your save file. If you saved with v1. 0–1. 2 and then removed the mod, your save cannot be loaded without it, please re-enable the mod and keep playing, or start a new campaign without it. If you can't re-enable the mod and are stuck on a broken save, share it via Google Drive in the comments and I'll fix it manually. Performance & density On first launch the mod creates living-depths-config.json in %AppData%\..\LocalLow\Deep Water Studio\UBOAT. Open it with any text editor and set density to one of: low - lightest. Use this if the seabed is slow to appear or you're on a weaker PC medium - the default; balanced high - the richest, most crowded seabed (best on a strong PC) Save the file and restart the game to apply. Note: the mod only places its rocks and plants where the game's own ocean floor has loaded - so if the floor ever looks empty or pops in late, lowering the density helps the game keep up. (Reporting a bug? Set verboseLogging to true in that file for detailed logs.) It's a big, complex mod - please report bugs Living Depths touches a lot of the seabed at once. If something looks wrong, floats, flickers, or hurts your framerate, please report it in the comments and mention where it happened. It helps enormously. Got marine-life 3D models? The plants here are hand-coded billboards. If you own quality 3D
