Lol. I saw a pilots log about potential problems with the plane once that reminds me of this. The pilot had written in the log - "Sounds like mice banging on engine with hammer." The mechanics replied to the log with - "Found and took away hammer from mice". Lol. Still makes me smile but first time I saw it I just laughed.

As I understand it, an STC is like finding not only the blueprint for a Ford F-150, but also the blueprint for the factory, the chemistry formula for the steel alloy for the frame and rubber and literally every scrap of science needed to make a Ford F-150. Which is why an STC is so significant. It's not just the tech in question, but also the tertiary and secondary techs that come with it.

[@aaronmitchell4053]

And, depending on what people are referring to when they say “STC”, it could also be all of the labourers, specialists and templates involved as well. Such as in the Gaunt’s ghosts book…

Original STC were a one stop shop factory, blueprint, manufacturing doodad that supplied a colony with everything it could possibly need.... most of them are completely gone, destroyed or corrupted and finding a fragment of one that is useful is a big deal.

Yes. As I understand, it is unlocking a whole production chain. It does not mean you understand it or how you would go about to improve it (The last one is tech heresy anyway, so do not try!). But when you activate it, you know what to do. I think it is meant to be vague on how it does it. Suggesting it everything from just a lot of blueprints and instructions, to a full-blown advanced AI that sets it all the steps for you as a hyper-advanced tutorial wizard.

The Flood from Halo would be a serious contender for most the most OP force. They are like an Orc/Tyranid hybrid and that is a terrifying prospect!

[@Northraider123]

The scariest thing about the flood is the fact they both A) learn everything from things they infect and B) are older then the forerunners mean that at their peak they can use the "it's basically magic" tech of the precursors. 1 spore can doom a world and if the imperium dosent IMMEDIATELY exterminatus that planet the flood WILL win full stop

[@northstar6278]

I would argue they are closer to a hybrid of Tyranid and Necrons, because they are intelligent, Scheming, Patient and a ever-expanding horde which will take every advantage from the things they consume and turn it to their advantage, there is even the potential at the logic plague could be used against the Necrons or even chaos Demons and that's on top of them developing their own psychic abilities The Flood from Halo if not immediately found and annihilated without mercy can probably body every popular sci-fi universe at the same time

[@disturbed1734]

Older cherub lore has it that, given that its 40k and things are bad, the infant mortality rate is so high. Meaning that all these dead infants unknowingly committed the sin of not giving the Emperor their life, so every dead infant was made into a cherub as a form of protection of their otherwise innocent soul so that they could serve the Emperor even though they never truly lived.

I always pictured the mechanica language sounding like dial up internet.

[@bonogiamboni4830]

Just a little fyi for the mechanicus game, a really important thing to do is that when you find those terminals that give you currency when you scan them you can and should also destroy them afterwards to also reduce the awakening, this will both make the current mission you're on easier and also let you do more things and pick up more power ups before having to continue the story because the global awakening reached 100. When i played i kitted out a priest with as many movement buffs as possible and gave him the skill that boosts movement when only wielding melee weapons (the arc scourge counts as melee) and his only job was to run up to a terminal, scan it, smash it and go back out. As far as gear goes you can pick and mix the clothing and weapons and stuff like that to your heart's content but i have two very big pieces of advice. First of all, try to find AoE weapons as soon as possible. They really make things easier for you since plenty of enemies like scarabs come in high quantities but aren't too big themselves, and also even a weak aoe is enough to kill a downed necron, and also most aoe weapons have a single damage value that they apply to all enemies so things like canticles and blessings will boost that attack on *all* targets, aka a blessing that will turn a 10 damage single shot attack into a 20 damage single shot attack will also turn a 3 damage aoe into a 13 damage aoe. Secondly (might be even more important), if you find a mission that gives "cognition mechadendrites" as a reward do that mission *immediately* and then equip one of those bitches on each and every single one of your soldiers *immediately*. They reeeally help with the CP economy (especially lvl 2 or lvl 3 dendrites) thus letting you pack more guns and bigger guns and use more special abilities and let you go completely nova with everyone on your team on a single turn, which often trivializes encounters.

I was an AdMech character in a "Rogue Trader" game. It was a blast! On the outside, he was a total heretek, but he made great strides in his travels. 1) he befrended a man of iron and got him to pimp out our ship with an errorless teleporter. 2) he found low-level AI trapped in a shoulder mounted plasma pistol and saved it from getting scrapped. His "plasma parrot" is now his trusty sidekick. He also build a war chassis (so to speak) he would slot his torso onto (leaving his augmetic legs behind) and ride into combat. Imagine a scorpion centaur with chainsword pincers and a plasma cannon (one step higher than a plasma gun) tail. He also had his torso, so he could fire a rifle he made (see #3). 3) He forged an STC fragment containing his design for a plasma rifle that fused the Imperium's power and the Tau's control over plasma. This would effectively upgrade The Guard's weapons to something stronger than the humble lasgun. He sold this fragment to a manufactorum, since he couldn't buy said manufactorum. However he does get royalties from their sale.

The way I like to think of STCs (and also explain the lack of knowledge) is that the STC is a big 3D printer, you push a button and a tank plops out the other end. The problem is, just because you can push the button doesn't mean you know how to service the tank. So the mechanicus had the Hayes manual somewhere except they don't understand WHY they have to do the certain things, so they pray, oil the thing with the sacred oil, pray some more, change the air filter, pray more.

WW2 had a lot of stuff going on that layer the ground work or developed the tech we have today. A good amount of it through expenditures of resources, but some that used nearly no resources besides man hours to think. Example: the brits intercepted and tried to break down German death ray schematics and before they even put a huge amount of hours in to breaking the code some people figured out "that shit can bounce off objects in the air, and can kinda show the ground if used right" leading to the birth of radar as we know it for flying, mapping topography, as well as a bunch of more useful applications.

[@echothegecko2875]

Another big reason they use Servitors instead of AI- Programming even a simple machine (not an AI, just a series of specific stimulus and response, i.e. "if heretics close = YES, gun.exe. if heretics close = NO, locomotion.exe) takes a TON of time and testing, whereas humans they take almost innately know how to walk, shoot, fight, produce things. Why waste the time making programming for machines to follow when you've already got something fully capable of it? You just need to trim off the excess code (speaking, thinking, blinking, responding to pain) to make a very efficient automaton! Also, one of my favorite theories as to why their religious rituals actually work is that it's just a needlessly complicated version of basic maintenance. I remember hearing that one of their holy texts includes the verse, "when the light turns green, press the power button." Or just stuff like the holy oils for your gun just being... well, gun oil. That holy scepter you wield in the ritual is the cleaning rod. Praise be to the Omnissiah.

there are actually several wars on earth that even for 40k standards took a little while. each of the punic wars of rome against carthage, the 30 years war, and to some extend the cold war. during these times, major military advances made absolute leaps and bounds, even to the very end. and all lasted way longer than the horus heresy. in the punic wars, rome discovered this whole sailing thing (pretty neat, now you can move on the water) and improved upon the carthaginian ships almost immediately to use what they already had. and they learned seafaring basically from scratch. during the 30 years war to my knowledge europeans invented the first actual rifles (instead of just carrying a literal handcannon) and made a bunch of progress in the art of organizing a big army. and during the cold war we got the bare bones of what would become the internet, space flight and nuclear power for civilian purposes. all basically from scratch and old left over WW2 things we all had lying around. but at least in the punic wars and the cold war, the actual civilian application of the inventions came after the wars had ended. which in 40k it just never seems to do.

They'd fight like hell and the Flood would probably have a bad time but I think it would win in the end. But the only true way to stop the Flood is to starve it to death. Hell it's STILL alive in Halo lore after surviving the literal collapse of the Galaxy and watching its rebirth, then getting blasted over and over and over with system sized explosions. Essentially, the Flood is just like the Tyranids in the aspect of just eat, grow, adapt, repeat.

The entire Imperium united couldn't handle the Star Ship Enterprise-D alone. They don't have a single weapon that could bypass it's shields, and the Enterprise doesn't need the Warp to get around. Warhammer 40k has impressive scale and wild lore, but the power scale of it is well beneath a lot of scifi.

I'm not sure of how true this statement is, but last I heard nuclear tech was REALLY underdeveloped at the time of WW2. As far as Oppenheimer and his cohorts knew, the moment they set off the first test, the entire world could be consumed by nuclear fission. They knew it *probably* won't happen, hence the test happening. However it was a non zero chance. Meaning, due to the war, even if there was a possibility in their minds, the nuke had to be made. We know now it isn't possible, but the tech for studying all that as well as time to study in general was very much not around during WW2.

Hey! Congrats on 100k!

I hadn't put it together before but the proposed atomic priesthood as a means to protect future humans from nuclear waste has a disturbing parallel to the admech.

6:28 idk... isn't there an ancient dragon sleeping in Mars?

Fun fact in Brutal Kunnin a tech priest has a sawn off Las Cannon that he could conceal within his robes hidden by other augmetics

[@masonpark4656]

Is he just a guy in a cohort or has a name?

[@tenaciousrodent6251]

Thumbs up for discussing a STC and instantly mentioning Subnautica. Because YES, INDEED you just casually carry one around in the shape of an Ipad in that game!

I remember one of the books I read a magos suffered a severe head injury and compleatly recovered in like a month because “only personal memory’s where lost, not the important ones”

The flood in WH40K is a damn nightmare. One hive city alone would be able to spawn a gravemind or worse. Plus they would be able to abuse the bureaucracy beyond any enemy they have faced. More biomass, more intelligence, if you don’t handle a flood outbreak immediately they end galaxies. The reason they are so easily dealt with in the games is partly plot armor, but also was incredibly phyrric. The original near galaxy sized infestation was starved by their food sources nervous system being wiped out, leaving them paralyzed and unable to eat. The game’s infestations were small in comparison and dealt with rather rapidly. The flood are one of the most dangerous ever in sci-fi, and quite frankly I believe they are the only faction in existence that could take on the WH40K empire and come out on top. They “need biomass, but also infest technologies, they were able to infect AI, and are faster than tyranids in spreading. While being intelligent enough to outmaneuver combat specialized AI that was able to command entire fleets of combat ships by itself, and I’d the flood couldn’t beat it, they infected and outlasted it.
