By the Will of the Machine God

The mapping arrays are the greater boon for us long term. One of the biggest issues in canon is the difficulty navigating the warp and the limited number of navigators. Even if it's only on a sector scale that is still a big deal. It helps expansion efforts and logistics while removing leverage that can be used against us.

The Mechanicus doesn't like alien tech to begin with either. Even if not to the degree it would in canon hard liners would still make a racket about it.
 
it also breaks the navigator monopoly a bit,the navigators can explore new frontiers and uncharted territory,but the admech mapping sensors will allow for safe routes that can be tranversed without navigator aid

The Mechanicus might not like Xeno tech but the Mechanicum does. Remember that this is pre-heresy pre-Imperial alliance, so we have significantly less restrictions on what we can study. Also those restrictions that Emps imposes might be less than in canon if we play our cards right.

The Gardens are not so much a Genetor thing and more like research watch posts close to dangerous warp phenomena like say persistent warp storms.

You say this as is one of the Genetor's great interests (and hates due to how often it goes wrong/heretical/backfires) are the warp based phenomena that manifests in organic entities through exposure to the Warp, a more powerful Soul or being a Psyker with is something like the two combined.

@Khororhoth Assuming this project goes well, would the Explorators likely be interested in another joint project after some number of turns? I agree the Gardens seem like a later-game project, but the Language seems relatively quickly feasible and incredibly useful.

If the issue is building an Observatory for raw data then we're really close to full success. Like, probably need more than a decade to build up institutional experience, but that just means the Explorators can push a little further than before.

Even with my surface-level knowledge of 40K, I know enough of how these two are EXTREMELY crucial in any efforts pertaining to exploration and reclamation.
 
A realization has hit me, with the improved ability to traverse the warp we can found more forge worlds and stay in more regular contact. Also as I have said before Emps will probably take interest in this, but that also means that it would be another card in our favor when it comes time to negotiate with him.

Couldn't decide for a while, but I think that follow-up research to this might be more fruitful than from Spectral Language. The latter would be most beneficial in the form of universal machine interface, which I think even 30k tech-priests would be unwilling to make, as it threatens their monopoly (and thus their usefulness, thus their survival chances). The former, meanwhile, leads to all manner of shipbound psytech, from better sensors and communication systems to completely independent Warp navigation and anti-Chaos countermeasures.
