This one fellow went out of his way to introduce cybernetics to the ENTIRE native species of Durth....8 years. 8 years of scientific advancement on the cybernetic front....and he looks at the Pre-sapient and is like 'i'm gonna lead a team to give them robot faces, arms, and random implants....because'. the entire scientific community on that planet went along with this.

I said it before, and I will say it again, there is a mod called "Zenith of the Fallen Empires". It lets you become a fallen empire before it fell, giving access to the fallen empire buildings, ships, and of course, lots and lots of dakka. Sure it is... very very unbalanced, but when have paradox games been in the first place, and it is still somewhat balanced, having massive tech requirements for not only becoming an empire in your prime, but also getting the special buildings. Very fun, very op, much dakka, praise tzeentch.
