So, with the Crystals messing with space and durability, the main issue with Arcologies is bothering to expand the interior, as Space and Energy Crystals provide more than enough to house and farm up food for the population. Of course, the main limiter is that you don't push them past 10% of their capacity, because that's the level where they can't be shut down. So, logically, the 250% food production bonus should also increase the cap on the population by that amount. Though, it's also because I don't want to multiply by 1.067 and try and finagle out the exact measurement every time. Stand by for reworking of pop caps.

25% annual growth hard cap there. Orks and certain non-human races can go faster, but it comes with downsides or is meant to mitigate downsides.
Something like Iron Wombs would probably work better, but also have some fairly obvious risks to them.

I have recently seen the tos Star Trek episode The Mark of Gideon and it feels like that could happen without good planning.
Like if we and/or the emperor dies in the middle of the super hive project, the runaway effects will be horrible.
Thankfully, this is one of the strange incidents were a warhammer setting is less Grimdark and a little more scientific than Star Trek, which is strange.

This is a quest, where a being made of the Warp itself, or parts of it, is the Goddess of Primarchs. This is a universe, where multiple crossovers got somehow busted together, even though they have no right of working that way. Strange is fitting, but it doesn't even begin to cover what has been going on. I'm wondering why Emps hasn't taken to the bottle yet.
Also @ilbgar123 , in a battle to life or death with another Primarch, could Serras deny them her boosting and even begin to syphon them, or building advantages against them due to being the being that represents them conceptually? I think that would make sense, Primarchs should get a Malus for fighting her.

Personally I blame all the Warp Storms of the Age of Strife and all the statial/temporal tomfoolery/superweapons that happened/were used during the Cybernetic Revolt for why so many aspects and elements of other universes were mashed into this one.
Plus some of the other universes metaphysical qualities/properties are acausal which would explain things too (their effects rippled forward and backward through time).
That's a good point, that should be a Perk for maxing Divine all: Psyker + Education + Perception.
Psyker would represent understanding of the Self, Education may be that of the Warp and Perception being how much attention we can have to gain Insight into the smallest things that change in accordance with the Self and the Warp.
Such as how we should receive warp energy for being a Warp Entity but instead our energy is being syphoned by the other Primarchs due to the nature of the Warp, at which point we can mess with the connection between Self, Warp and the concept of Primarchs which is a dominion we rule over and choose to modify it however we wish.
Maybe even use that connection to better both ourselves and the Primarchs, depending on what we need, such as helping Magnus stabilise his own Astartes Primaris, giving some enhanced passive resistance to Chaos due to the nature of our Soul and maybe even supercharge our own Astartes to Stable Alpha Level, or use some of that Warp Stuff to increase our Psyker: Power/Control.
And then maybe even further supercharge it based on our Social Link with the other Primarchs.

She could deny them that, yes. Alpharius and Omegon would be especially weakened, as would Jack.
The Warp being acausal is one of it's defining traits. People have summoned Daemons that turned out to be their future selves before.
I wonder what would have happened if they had killed their past self before they could become a daemon.

Ork Warboss did that once to get a duplicate of his weapon. Disappeared in a puff of logic. Of course, if the Veil were weaker things might get... weird.
Yeah, but that was an Ork, I was wondering if the acausal nature of Chaos would protect a Daemon Prince from the deletrious side-effects of past-killing shenanigans.
But will it be costly for them?

In other strange thoughts, is one possible outcome of the Emperor "dying" just him popping like fusions from Steven Universe into the Shamans who made him? They might be magnitudes stronger than they started still, but they might be more vulnerable to chaos again. (that sounds like a chaos plan by Tzeentch; let the avatar of humanity grow stronger, only to break him into his constituent parts, which are stronger than they started, but still very vulnerable.)
Not that it would be a good thing for humanity (I am just mostly curious), but it is one thing not on the list like perpetual-hood or the Starfather. I know it is the least likely of outcomes.

Oh it makes sense now. WE ARE THE SHAMANS. Thats what he lost. His constituents parts.

No, he's a perpetual, he'd just get reborn. The reason he isn't doing that later on in canon, is because during his respawn, the Astronomicon would go out and everything would be fucked over by Chaos.

Uhhhm, yes. Malcador is one too. The only bad thing for Malcador was, that the Golden Throne literally sucked at his soul, which he couldn't sustain.
So sitting on the Golden Throne sucks out your soul and un-perpetuals people?
Then why would the Emperor, who was sitting on the Throne for ten millennia, be a Perpetual?

Maybe it's balanced out by the regular Psyker sacrifices? Or at least causing the Throne to consume the Emps soul at an extremely slow pace.

He simply was a strong enough Psyker. From pure power, Magnus is definetely stronger. Malcador just has that large gap of experience in his favor, which turns the tide in who the second strongest Psyker is.

Maybe that's why the Emperor hasn't been getting any more powerful with all the sacrifices and even slowly getting weaker as the weakening of the Astronomican over time suggests.
Maybe it's sucking out the individual parts of his gestalt-soul one at a time instead of sucking at the whole thing, and the sacrifices work sorta like ablative armor?
