Exploring Warhammer 40k: The Adeptus Mechanicus

[@fl00fydragon]

The adeptus mechanicus: the human faction that's simoutaneously the sanest and most insane.

[@WastelandSeven]

I don't know, the Inquisition could give them a run for their money in both departments. Both factions are fanatical, and have terrifying agents. (ballancing the assasinorum against the skitari and other soldiers in frightfulness.

[@SuaveNerd2000]

Lord Admiral Spire they seek knowledge and understanding, it’s their most basic component of the faction. They all have human ambition and drive, and a constant drive to learn and understand it all. They send fleets of ships into the unknown for knowledge, in fact your position of power is based on what you know, the quest for knowledge is what every Techpriest strives for. This knowledge has made them a force to be reckoned, and without them humanity itself will fail.

[@reidsimpson4213]

@Lord Admiral Spire there have been many people throughout history who searched desperately for the key to eternal life, or other forms of transcendence, think Ponce de Leon and the fountain of youth, so in that respect, they are still somewhat human/relatable, in addition to their faith/piety and endless quest for knowledge.

[@CharlesJrPike]

@Lord Admiral Spire As an engineering student, I can relate to the Mechanicus immensely. Knowing that there is a huge amount of knowledge out there, and wanting to fully grasp more than you can. Striving to live up to the deeds of the great scientists and engineers that came before you. Not knowing how everything works, but needing it to make other things work. And most importantly, praying to your code to appease it, so that it is not angry at you and compiles without any errors.

[@Forbiddensirenz]

I remember one story where a bunch of Tech Priest actually came across a functional AI from the dark age of technology and is basically ended up mocking them for their lack of real understanding of anything. And their solution was “Oh no! It’s machine spirit is mad! Let’s light some incense and rub it down with holy oils and pray to it!” All the while the AI is trying to help them

[@manticore6963]

The thing is, I can actually get behind this. What's the first thing, People do if something isn't working? Turn it off, wait a few Seconds, turn it on again and hope it works. Or consult the Manual and do everything exactly like it says in the Book and hope it solves your problem. Now transfer that to a Community of People, who forgot how a Hydroponics Bay or Oxygen-Generator works but have to repair it or built a new one. They recite every Step in the Manual and hope, it works; until a few hundred Years later, no one refers to the Manual as such but instead call it a holy Text how to appease the Machine Spirit of the Hydroponics Bay. Or how to appease the Spirit of the Computer, that monitors Security Cameras - press the divine Button, recite the holy Prayers to the Machine God and press the Button again. I can totally see it happen, that Humans would one day whorship Machines because they forgot, they are just Machines.

@@manticore6963 problem is that the machine spirit and omnissiah are definitely real and observable, what they actually are however is up for debate, even the omnissiah which is popularly theorized to be the dragon of mars, but it might not be.

[@manticore6963]

@@the_dropbear4392 That is of course true but doesn't really counter my Argument. As far as I know, Gods and supernatural Beings in the 40k Universe are created by People believing in them instead of being real from the beginning (except the C'tan) - basically, the Omnissiah, Machine Spirits and such are real, because the Mechanicum started believing strong enough in them; maybe even due to the Void Dragon giving them some Base to believe in it and the Powers of the Warp doing the rest. (Edit: assuming, that the Void Dragon Theory turns out to be true) Allegedly Nurgle himself awakened due to the suffering of the Black Plague during the Middle Ages on Terra (even though he existed in an unconscious Form before that) and a powerfull Demon was created due to the first Human Murder - so it's not unlikely that Human belief is extremely potent and a single Planets Popuation might be enough to create Machine Spirits and such.

Makes me think the Emperer simply repaired it like an actual engineer and this part of the tale was turned into divine power rather than simply tech knowledge (he's the Tony Stark-esque genius behind the Space Marines), or he did fix it in a single touch, but a Psi touch, a Psi Spell that repaired the machine sorta like the D&D Magic Spell Mending, know one on Mars knew the parapsychological resonance the Emperer drew from to cast the Psi Spell, so early Machine Priests were hugely enamoured, not knowing the Psi behind the machine's instant mending.

[@andrew3203]

This being the Warhammer 40k universe, it's not surprising that there would be confusions and conflations about STCs. But there are 3 forms in which STCs exist: 1. The first is a construction template, akin to a blueprint in digital format, which also includes various details about the type of metals and power sources need to craft an item. Although rare, they are the most common and can be found on various industrial worlds, research worlds, and all forge worlds. 2. The second type is a constructor forge, akin to a building-sized 3-d printer which also houses several unique production patterns of items. These are very rare, perhaps a few dozen in the entire galaxy and kept a tight secret. These often come with a warehouse exit, where people can find exotic weapons somehow appear by miracle when danger is close by. 3. The final one is a complete STC database, along with its constructor forges and a dedicated AI to manage production and requests. Few examples remain, all of them on board a few Ark Mechanicus battleships, not only forgotten but also paranoid of being discovered, thus the AI erase the minds of those who might reveal them. Beside the human STCs, there are also Eldar, Dark Eldar and Necron models of STCs, containing caches of exotic weapons and whatnot, in the 3 forms stated above. Much like humanity, these races do not conduct research or develop new tech, but merely dig through the ruins of their ancestors for bits of knowledge or ancient weaponry. The Chaos Forges also contain such STCs, in various degrees of daemonic infestation, or even fully powered by caged Greater Daemons being drained of energy to produce new fleets and armies.

I worked in engineering and research for 11 years, and I'll admit a certain teeny sympathy with the superstitious side of the mechanicus. I long since lost count of the number of times I was faced with a downed bit of machinery I 'd gone over forwards and backwards, inside and out, that triggered a tiny irrational part of my brain to wonder: Does this thing, somehow, just not i/want/i to work for me?

Ibram Gaunt found an STC in the first book of Ghosts on Menazoid Epsilon that would've made Men of Iron, but it was corrupted by Chaos and had to be destroyed.

The mechanicus are like a very early version of the necrons

[@laserpanda9553]

The machanicus trying to contain STCs, sounds similar to another universe this channel covers

I imagine these guys would have loved being the necrontyr.

For the Table Top 40k game, can you have an army comprised of one type of model, for example an army of only Servitors with some tech priest thrown in?

Keep it up, hoping to see some fantasy Warhammer videos one day too.
