@ilbgar123 Firstly, thank you for the update - it's great to see this back. Secondly, would you please consider splitting this update into a few other posts? And/or perhaps adding some spoiler brackets and secondary headings or sub-titles to help separate out the individual sections more? At the moment the sheer size and the very long paragraphs make it very difficult to navigate easily.

Or just do the summary as the results of each and put he detailed into spoilers. There's no need to flesh out everytving wig precise numbers if some flowery words would be enough because it's gonna' get glossed over later anyway.
 
I have now reread this quest. I skimmed the new update instead of actually reading most of it, though. Large walls of text about the different patterns and variants of our tech just isn't what I like to see in a quest. It is important, of course, but not what I enjoy reading.

That is true, it does tend to pad out the words instead of being about the people.

Especially when a lot of the tech seems to be Canon with a larger amount of space for astarte.

Better?
 
i wonder if we could make a Gloriana out of Mythril only the best for us I also think we should use boltguns for logistic reasons the plasma pellets say they do need a lot a repring and i think boltguns are iconic
 
Is there a place to put ideas for new crystals? I was reading the Sidestory threadmarks and got an idea for one, but don't know where to put it other than just posting it randomly.
Sobriety: the condition of not having any measurable levels or effects from alcohol or drugs; considered the natural state of a being at birth. In this case, it is a concept related to clarity of thought, and prevention of things that cloud thoughts, including alcohol, drugs, and even psychic phenomena.
  • Lower-level crystals would prevent drunkenness (though would do little for the liver damage and ensuing hangover) and the mental side-effects of low-quality/low-tech medicine.
  • Mid-level crystals could prevent the tunnel-vision from most combat-stims, as well as high-quality/high-tech medicines; mid-level crystals might also prevent Psyker Charisma from the average Pysker.
  • High-level, like Level 9 or 10, crystals would prevent Psyker Charisma on the level of the Primarchs or Emperor from working. It may also help prevent some of the Cultist recruitment from working, as I can see Psyker Charisma being one of the more basic abilities given to low-level Chaos Cultists, just to be able to get more people into the cult.
Negative Side-Effects are logical; it prevents the work of drugs that you WANT to affect your mind, such as sleeping-pills, pain-killers, "uppers" and "downers" taken for medical reasons to regulate mind-state. It may even affect treatments for mental degradation, such as Alzheimer's, Dementia, or similar conditions.

I got the idea from the Emperor having a whole room designed solely to block Psyker Charisma in one of the omakes. That was quickly followed by some scenes including drinking, which ended up developing into this idea.

Gain immediate hate and Grudge of all Squats even if you have never met them before. The hate has become instinctual. :V

Do we have matter crystals to produce workable material?

Not currently, but I do not see any reason why they would not be possible. We already have Air and Water crystals (and probably Earth, too), which can be used for life-support systems. Based off the Canon Omake about the ship orbiting Dorn's system, they not only purify their element but also CREATE it. I also know that in at least one of the Omakes, but I think the main story, both Metal and Gold crystals were created. Those crystals, unfortunately, merely amplified the properties of the material.

Perhaps we could create a "conjuration" or "manifestation" crystal, and thus use something like a Conjuration/Balance/Metal rune? We then just have to refine our crystals to the point they create useful materials for our creations. I will point out that alloys, especially the hyper-alloys that our best tech uses, are unlikely to be able to be made into Crystals. We had an entire Bronze Age, so a Bronze Crystal might be possible, but we are never going to have an "Adamantium" crystal, nor a "Rockcrete" or "Ceramite" crystal.
 
okay. the fact the old, cringy omakes I wrote here when I was more depressed and younger are still getting likes is making me feel weird.

But I am going to enjoy yet another round of numbers compounding on each other.

I have always enoyed how we just take and run with the concept of "more everything" here.
