Standard Template Constructors, the machines are, to my knowledge, considered the mechanicus equivalent of the holy grail. We don't have any, and I don't think that the meechanicus have any either, except on Ark mechanicuses, which are inaccessible.
The "STCs" we have been finding are STC printouts, the blueprints, which is why selling an STC to Atlas has no impact whatever on our ability to produce them.
Further, in pretty much any context in which you have a "[design] STC", it will refer to a template, not a Constructor.
STC constructors aren't transferrable because no-one has any, but STC templates are transferrable, and form the basis of pretty much all imperial tech.
Edit: Not wanting to reignite the debate, but I wanted to clarify an apparent confusion.

Vanaheim Trade the Deal
You have agreed to provide enough Impalers to outfit the entire Vanaheim PDF as well as a good amount of Metal and Promethium. In return Governor Olaf has agreed to a Military and Navel exchange as well as building fifteen Defense Monitors and ten Asteroid Miners for Avernus and paying one pint six million Thrones per year.

Also not wanting to reignite the debate, just want to further clarify, but I believe there are three things rather than just two:
STC hard copies, which is what the Mechanicus mainly deals with.
STC systems/databases/libraries, the computers that actually have full databases of STCs and can print them out. This is the Holy Grail the Mechanicus is looking for.
The Standard Template Constructor, a sort of auto-factory that makes STCs, with their full capabilities being unknown. The only known example found is the one for the Men of Iron, but it was ordered destroyed due to it having been corrupted by Chaos.

Turn Twenty Three
It has finally been determined where the Tyranid Splinter Fleet is heading, and for once it is not Avernus, though you are not sure that Alfheim is any better. While this means that you will not be attacked as soon, if Splinter Fleet Fenrir takes Alfheim it will grow enormously, as well as taking out a vital wold in the sub-sector. General Drago has suggested that you move to reinforce Alfheim with as many of your forces as possible as well as all of your Imperial Naval detachments, which have already received orders to reinforce Alfheim. It has been relatively quite on the domestic front with the wildlife not being too aggressive. General Drago has finished deploying the Impaler though, which should provide a major advantage against the Tyranids. You have also entered into a trade agreement with Governor Olaf of Vanaheim which includes sending them a large number of Impalers, mostly in exchange for some intra-system craft.
The Shadow of the Warp deepens, increasing diplomacy penalty to -40% outside the Sub-Sector and -20% within the Sub-sector.
The new Impalers are proving to be effective against the wildlife as expected, otherwise several other major military projects are under way. Most importantly, the militia is nearing completion. When completed, instead of being a liability your populace will be able to protect themselves, particularity when inside the fortified structures that make up Avernus' cities.
Henry's life continues to remain comparatively stress-free as he informs you that the amount of Thrones and Material income is easily enough to build starships when the shipyards come online the year after next but you need to expand your promethium production. He suggests re-founding Limberlost with a population drawn mostly from Hollin as a way to increase your promethium reserves.
Lord Klovis-Ultan informs you that the Shadow in the Warp has almost totally cut the Asgard sub-sector off from the rest of the Imperium, but that you can still make more contacts with your neighbors. He also requests that you personally lead reinforcements to Alfheim as he wishes more evidence for the success of Avernus, and believes that you in command of millions of Avernus' best will be able to provide it.
Arbitrator Oakheart is glad that she has finally dealt with the cult in Beirut and is hopeful that she will be able to eradicate all the cults on Avernus within a few years. Other than that, she is slightly worried about the slowly dropping numbers of Psyker Hunters but is sure that you have a few years before it becomes important.
Forge Master Britton is glad to have begun work on enlarging the Forge and continues to be surprised at the number of valuable technology that is found on Avernus. As Archmagos Explorator Tranth continues to explore the ruins under Silver Lake Magos Biologis Saren informs you that he has nearly completed his research into weaponizing the Life-Eater Fungus.
Deacon Lin has spent most of the last year organizing both Chaplains training and the recruitment system for more Witch Hunters. As a result his military leadership and combat skills have increased.
Deacon Lin gains trait Warrior (+2M,+2C)
Headmaster Ridcully is annoyed that his students haven't mastered the Emperors Tarot yet but is willing to continue to teach them. Otherwise the first group of minor psykers are most of the way through their training and will finish by the end of next year.
You have spent the last year getting yourself and your forces ready for the Tyranids and believe you are ready to face them. In fact, you are slightly disappointed that they are attacking Alfheim rather then Avernus. While you have been focusing on the upcoming war, Caroline has taken over a lot of the day-to-day running of Avernus and has done a very good job of it.

Four Locked; Choose One
Militia – General Drago has suggested that the citizens of Avernus be armed with basic weapons and trained as a militia. Thanks to having survived on Avernus, even with just a small amount of training the Avernites would form a dangerous militia. General Drago suggests equipping the militia with basic lasguns and flack vests and giving them a mere two hours of training a week to begin with. This would be enough to make your militia significantly more deadly than even the best of the cultists that invaded several years back. While expensive, General Drago tells you that this option would both make the civilian population of Avernus far more dangerous and slightly increase the quality of your professional soldiers.
Time: 4 years.
Cost: 8,082,000 Thrones, 1,078,000 Material, 107,700 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 808,173 Thrones, 107,756 Material, 5,388 Promethium.
Reward: 80% of the population is trained as militia, +12 to military combat bonus.
Locked – Three out of Four years complete
Wargaming Grounds: All – General Drago proposes building a series of mock battlefields where dozens of regiments can engage in wargames. This should give the forces of Avernus more practice at fighting above a regimental scale and will allow the different regiments to bond. This will fix one of the issues that was noticed about the recent invasion, which was that your forces were unused to fighting large scale conflicts. The wargaming grounds will be huge and expensive to maintain, so only one would be built per region. General Drago considers this to be of medium priority.
Time: 3 years.
Cost: 447,300 Thrones, 148,500 Material, 148,500 Metal, 7,440 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 44,730 Thrones, 14,850 Material, 14,850 Metal, 744 Promethium.
Reward: Wargaming grounds in each region for soldiers, +5 to all Imperial Guard and PDF combat rolls with an additional +5 when fighting in numbers, PDF gets +25% military tradition bonus (+5).
Locked – One out of Two turns complete (Expedited)
Personal Attention: Specialists – General Drago saw the effectiveness of ad-hoc specialist groups in the battle of Dorthonion and would like to create a group of specialist regiments. These regiments would be deployed in major battles where they will be able to cause great damage. Since the discovery of the Heavy Impaler he has added Sentinel Regiments armed with Heavy Impalers to the list.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 42,600 Thrones, 10,650 Material, 1,598 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 4,260 Thrones, 1,385 Material, 1,598 Promethium.
Reward: 3 Hellhound Regiments, 7 Devil Dog Regiments, 5 Sentinel Regiments, 5 Anti-Air Regiments (each regiment consists of 600 tanks of the designated type).
Locked – One out of Two turns complete
Personal Attention: Artillery – Artillery is one of the Imperial Guard's greatest weapons and General Drago believes that Avernus has an insufficient amount of it. To remedy this, he would like to recruit twenty regiments of artillery, which would increase the amount of Imperial Guard artillery platforms you have sixfold (is that right?) and increase your total artillery by 65%.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 51,120 Thrones, 12,780 Material, 1,278 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 5,112 Thrones, 2,556 Material, 1,278 Promethium.
Reward: 20 Artillery Regiments (each regiment consists of 600 Basilisks).
Locked – One out of Two turns complete
Heavy Armour – Now that you have both the Macharius STC and the ability to produce them, General Drago wants to raise several regiments' worth. This will take almost your entire Advanced Material reserves but will allow you to field a large number of Heavy Tanks. General Drago does not consider this to be urgent.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 20,100 Thrones, 16,080 Material, 402 Promethium, 522 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 2,010 Thrones, 1,608 Material, 201 Promethium, 26 Advanced Material.
Reward: 3 Macharius Heavy Tank Regiments (200 Tanks per Regiment).
Deathstrike – Now that you have the design for the Deathstrike Missile Launcher, General Drago suggests building a few hundred. This will provide you with high-power artillery with an intercontinental range, though you will have to make a new missile with every shot. General Drago does not consider this to be urgent.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 6,700 Thrones, 3,350 Material, 100 Promethium, 500 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 670 Thrones, 335 Material, 50 Promethium, 25 Advanced Material (upkeep increases massively if used).
Reward: 5 Deathstrike Missile Batteries (100 Deathstrikes per Battery).
Vikings – Now that Archmagos Explorator Tranth has completed the STC of the Viking, General Drago suggests building a few thousand to supplement the Drop Troopers. This will give you a devastating weapon against Tyranid hordes as quickly as possible.
Time: 1 year.
Cost: 39,798 Thrones, 14,593 Material, 3,184 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 3,980 Thrones, 14,593 Material, 1,592 Promethium.
Reward: 120 Vikings added to every drop trooper regiment.
Bane Wolf – General Drago suggests building ten Bane Wolf Regiments to deal with the Tyranids. Their weapons are highly effective against Tyranids, even if they are not weapons you want to use on Avernus or any other world whose environment you care about, such as Alfheim.
Time: 1 year.
Cost: 40,200 Thrones, 8,040 Material, 2,010 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 8,040 Thrones, 804 Material, 1,005 Promethium
Reward: 10 Bane Wolf Regiments (600 Bane Wolves per Regiment)
Send Aid to Alfheim – You have recently received news that the Tyranid Splinter Fleet, now designated "Fenrir", is heading towards the Agri-World of Alfheim. You can not let Alfheim fall, both for the amount that the Tyranids would gain by consuming it and because Midgard would begin to starve without Alfheim's food exports. You can ship around one thousand regiments' worth of your forces to Alfheim before the Tyranids arrive.
Time: 1 year
Cost: 1,000,000 Thrones, 10,000 Material, 100,000 Promethium.
Reward: Send one thousand regiments (5 Fighter or Bomber Wings equal 1 regiment, each Naval Attack Craft Squadron equal to 1 regiment, armour regiments count as one half of a regiment), to support Alfheim against the Tyranids

He suggests re-founding Limberlost with a population drawn mostly from Hollin as a way to increase your promethium reserves.
Two Locked; Choose Two
Underground Railway: Aridia and Everglades – Given how successful the underground railway in Elysium has proven to be, Henry proposes building one in Aridia and Everglades. This railway will go under seven hundred and seventy kilometers of swamp and nine hundred and seventy kilometers of desert. The main challenge in construction is dealing the the Titan Scorpions that will be disturbed in Aridia, which is why Henry advises stationing a large military contingent with the excavators. Interestingly, the railway in Everglades will pass under Limberlost, allowing you to more easily reclaim Limberlost and its promethium reserves.
Time: 4 years.
Cost: 2,656,550 Thrones, 233,160 Material, 932,640 Metal, 58,290 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 132,828 Thrones, 11,658 Materiel, 46,632 Metal, 29,145 Promethium.
Reward: Underground railway linking cities in Aridia and the Everglades, allowing rapid transit, +45% Thrones, +12.5% production.
Locked – Three out of Four years complete
Comprehensive Medical Scheme – Henry has given you a very ambitious plan for a Comprehensive Medical Scheme for Avernus. In this scheme the number of hospitals on Avernus would be tripled and they would provide a large number of services to the general public for free. As well as increasing the general health and prosperity of your citizens, a worthy aim all by itself, this should allow you to catch plagues sooner and deal with them more effectively. This is the final general health care project that Henry has envisioned and he considers it to be of low priority.
Time: 4 years.
Cost: 11,220,000 Thrones, 420,700 Material, 168,300 Metal, 14,020 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 1,121,800 Thrones, 42,068 Material, 8,414 Metal, 701 Promethium.
Reward: Comprehensive Medical Scheme in all cities, +1% population growth, reduced chance of plagues, +1 civilian morale.
Locked – Two out of Four years complete
Social Policy: Work Harder – Henry has prepared a series of plans which include making the population of Avernus work longer than the 49 hours a week that is the current average working week.
Time: 1 Year.
Cost: 10,000 Thrones.
Reward: Varied; see below
Examine Planet (Planet) – Now that you have several survey ships from Atlas it would be a good idea to give the other planets in the Avernus System a better examination. Henry would prefer to examine the moons of Avernus Four while Archmagos Explorator Tranth is interested in the ancient warships orbiting Avernus Three.
Time: 1 year.
Cost: 14,200 Thrones, 710 Material, 305 Metal, 3,050 Promethium.
Reward: More information on chosen planet.
Asteroid Miners – One of the most common uses of orbital industry is asteroid mining. Henry proposes that you turn the intrasystem spaceships that you got with the recent orbital infrastructure into asteroid miners. Given that they were originally intended for this, it would not take long and they would be able to begin by the end of the year. This would provide a medium amount of Metal that is more costly compared to mining it on the ground, but far less likely to exhaust your metal reserves. Henry considers this to be of high priority.
Time: 1 year.
Cost: 335,000 Thrones, 3,350 Material, 3,350 Metal, 33,500 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 67,000 Thrones, 3,350 Material, 3,350 Metal, 3,350 Promethium.
Reward: 5 Asteroid Miners, +250,000 bonus metal income.
Collegia – Henry has suggested building a huge institute of learning in Dis. This will be a hundred times the size of one of the universities and will take the best of the university graduates and further train them in their chosen field. With this Collegia Henry will be able to achieve his dream of making Avernus into one of the best-educated worlds in the Imperium. Henry considers this to be of medium priority.
Time: 3 years.
Cost: 703,500 Thrones, 70,350 Material, 70,350 Metal, 7,035 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 70,035 Thrones, 3,518 Material, 3,518 Metal, 352 Promethium.
Reward: Collegia in Dis, +5% base Thrones and +2% base Metal, Production Capacity and Promethium in all cities. This bonus is added every year for five years resulting in a +25% increase base Thrones and +10% base Metal, Production Capacity and Promethium. This adds on to the bonus from public schools and universities.
Expand Food Stockpiles – Henry suggests massively expanding the food stockpiles on Avernus to allow you to have enough food to weather any siege or famine. This expansion will give every city at least thirty years' worth of food stockpiles buried deep under it. Henry considers this to be of very low priority.
Time 2 years.
Cost: 611,500 Thrones, 122,300 Material, 61,150 Metal, 12,230 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 31,575 Thrones, 6,115 Material, 3,158 Metal, 612 Promethium.
Reward: expands maximum food stockpiled to 20,750 units, enough for the current population to live on for over thirty years.
Enlarge Factories: Avernus – Henry has a plan to enlarge the factories of every city in Avernus, which would increase your total production capacity by around 50%. He advises that you expand your mining industry before increasing production this much, as your current mining yields could only barely support this expansion. Henry considers this to be of low priority.
Time 4 years.
Cost: 1,106,000 Thrones, 221,100 Material, 221,100 Metal, 44,220 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 442,200 Thrones, 44,220 Metal, 8,844 Promethium.
Reward: enlarges factories over rest of Avernus, +170,000 Production Capacity, +200% base production capacity (increase of +100%).
Construct: Asteroid Miner – Henry suggests using your docks to build four more Asteroid Miners and setting them to mining. This will increase your metal income by around 12%, allowing you greater leeway on what is currently your most limited core resource.
Time: 3 years
Cost: 1,340,000 Thrones, 804,000 Material, 8,566 Promethium, 400 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 21,440 Thrones , 10,720 Material, 4,288 Promethium, 8 Advanced Material.
Reward: 4 Asteroid Miners are produced and start working, +200,000 bonus metal income
Population Pressure: Expand Hollin: Phase One – Hollin's population is on the verge of growing too large for its current limits without causing severe overcrowding. One way to fix this problem is for Hollin to be expanded into a hive. Henry's proposal is for the city to expand upwards, building itself into a classic hive. He also plans to split the expansion into two separate phases to limit the amount of resources you need to use at a time. The second expansion will be purely military and bring the defences up to the same level as on Dis.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 29,040,000 Thrones, 4,573,000 Material, 5,311,000 Metal, 610,500 Promethium, 100 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 542,600 Thrones, 65,977 Material, 52,959 Metal, 17,472 Promethium,1 Advanced Material.
Reward: Hollin expended into small hive, will require another action to bring defenses up to par.
Population Pressure: Displace – The easiest method of dealing with the population pressure on Hollin is to move some of its citizen to the other cities of Lindon, which certainly have room for them. This will be aided by the number of cargo shuttles you have and will allow you more time before having to expand Hollin.
Time: 1 year
Cost: 402,000 Thrones, 40,200 Material, 20,100 Metal, 201,000 Promethium.
Upkeep: None
Reward: 15 million citizens move to Doriath and Lorien.
Population Pressure: Rebuild Limberlost – A more time-consuming but useful method of dealing with the overpopulation in Hollin is to rebuild Limberlost. This is made far easier by the newly completed railway which will allow easy access even for heavy machinery. The main reason to rebuild Limberlost is that it would give you access to the massive promethium reserves that it is built over. Henry has come up with a four year plan to rebuild Limberlost but informs you that General Drago would have to recruit more forces to defend it or thin the defenses around other cities in the Everglades.
Time: 4 years.
Cost: 29,800,000 Thrones, 4,462,000 Material, 4,134,000 Metal, 963,800 Promethium, 1,000 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 1,681,901 Thrones, 142,051 Material, 132,996 Metal, 18,823 Promethium, 10 Advanced Materials.

Cost: 11,220,000 Thrones, 420,700 Material, 168,300 Metal, 14,020 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 1,121,800 Thrones, 42,068 Material, 8,414 Metal, 701 Promethium.
Reward: Comprehensive Medical Scheme in all cities, +1% population growth, reduced chance of plagues, +1 civilian morale.
Locked – Two out of Four years complete
Social Policy: Work Harder – Henry has prepared a series of plans which include making the population of Avernus work longer than the 49 hours a week that is the current average working week.
Time: 1 Year.
Cost: 10,000 Thrones.
Reward: Varied; see below
Social Policy: Longer Working Week – The most simple of the plans is to increase the working week to 56 hours. This would have a small effect on morale and give a ten percent increase in productivity. Henry recommends this option.
Reward: -1 Civilian Morale, +10% bonus to base income (multiplicative with morale bonus).
Social Policy: Much Longer Working Week – A harsher plan is to increase the working week to 66.5 hours. This would have a major effect on morale and give a twenty percent increase in productivity.
Reward: -2 Civilian Morale, +20% bonus to base income (multiplicative with morale bonus).
Social Policy: Work to the Bone – A very harsh plan is to increase the working week to 80.5 hours. This massive amount of work would have a major effect on morale and increase productivity by thirty percent. Henry recommends against this option.
Reward: -3 Civilian Morale, +30% bonus to base income (multiplicative with morale bonus).
Reward: -1 Civilian Morale, +10% bonus to base income (multiplicative with morale bonus).
Social Policy: Much Longer Working Week – A harsher plan is to increase the working week to 66.5 hours. This would have a major effect on morale and give a twenty percent increase in productivity.

Reward: -3 Civilian Morale, +30% bonus to base income (multiplicative with morale bonus).
Examine Planet (Planet) – Now that you have several survey ships from Atlas it would be a good idea to give the other planets in the Avernus System a better examination. Henry would prefer to examine the moons of Avernus Four while Archmagos Explorator Tranth is interested in the ancient warships orbiting Avernus Three.
Time: 1 year.
Cost: 14,200 Thrones, 710 Material, 305 Metal, 3,050 Promethium.
Reward: More information on chosen planet.
Asteroid Miners – One of the most common uses of orbital industry is asteroid mining. Henry proposes that you turn the intrasystem spaceships that you got with the recent orbital infrastructure into asteroid miners. Given that they were originally intended for this, it would not take long and they would be able to begin by the end of the year. This would provide a medium amount of Metal that is more costly compared to mining it on the ground, but far less likely to exhaust your metal reserves. Henry considers this to be of high priority.
Time: 1 year.
Cost: 335,000 Thrones, 3,350 Material, 3,350 Metal, 33,500 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 67,000 Thrones, 3,350 Material, 3,350 Metal, 3,350 Promethium.
Reward: 5 Asteroid Miners, +250,000 bonus metal income.
Collegia – Henry has suggested building a huge institute of learning in Dis. This will be a hundred times the size of one of the universities and will take the best of the university graduates and further train them in their chosen field. With this Collegia Henry will be able to achieve his dream of making Avernus into one of the best-educated worlds in the Imperium. Henry considers this to be of medium priority.
Time: 3 years.
Cost: 703,500 Thrones, 70,350 Material, 70,350 Metal, 7,035 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 70,035 Thrones, 3,518 Material, 3,518 Metal, 352 Promethium.
Reward: Collegia in Dis, +5% base Thrones and +2% base Metal, Production Capacity and Promethium in all cities. This bonus is added every year for five years resulting in a +25% increase base Thrones and +10% base Metal, Production Capacity and Promethium. This adds on to the bonus from public schools and universities.
Expand Food Stockpiles – Henry suggests massively expanding the food stockpiles on Avernus to allow you to have enough food to weather any siege or famine. This expansion will give every city at least thirty years' worth of food stockpiles buried deep under it. Henry considers this to be of very low priority.
Time 2 years.
Cost: 611,500 Thrones, 122,300 Material, 61,150 Metal, 12,230 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 31,575 Thrones, 6,115 Material, 3,158 Metal, 612 Promethium.
Reward: expands maximum food stockpiled to 20,750 units, enough for the current population to live on for over thirty years.
Enlarge Factories: Avernus – Henry has a plan to enlarge the factories of every city in Avernus, which would increase your total production capacity by around 50%. He advises that you expand your mining industry before increasing production this much, as your current mining yields could only barely support this expansion. Henry considers this to be of low priority.
Time 4 years.
Cost: 1,106,000 Thrones, 221,100 Material, 221,100 Metal, 44,220 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 442,200 Thrones, 44,220 Metal, 8,844 Promethium.
Reward: enlarges factories over rest of Avernus, +170,000 Production Capacity, +200% base production capacity (increase of +100%).
Construct: Asteroid Miner – Henry suggests using your docks to build four more Asteroid Miners and setting them to mining. This will increase your metal income by around 12%, allowing you greater leeway on what is currently your most limited core resource.
Time: 3 years
Cost: 1,340,000 Thrones, 804,000 Material, 8,566 Promethium, 400 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 21,440 Thrones , 10,720 Material, 4,288 Promethium, 8 Advanced Material.
Reward: 4 Asteroid Miners are produced and start working, +200,000 bonus metal income
Population Pressure: Expand Hollin: Phase One – Hollin's population is on the verge of growing too large for its current limits without causing severe overcrowding. One way to fix this problem is for Hollin to be expanded into a hive. Henry's proposal is for the city to expand upwards, building itself into a classic hive. He also plans to split the expansion into two separate phases to limit the amount of resources you need to use at a time. The second expansion will be purely military and bring the defences up to the same level as on Dis.
Time: 2 years.
Cost: 29,040,000 Thrones, 4,573,000 Material, 5,311,000 Metal, 610,500 Promethium, 100 Advanced Material.
Upkeep per year: 542,600 Thrones, 65,977 Material, 52,959 Metal, 17,472 Promethium,1 Advanced Material.
Reward: Hollin expended into small hive, will require another action to bring defenses up to par.
Population Pressure: Displace – The easiest method of dealing with the population pressure on Hollin is to move some of its citizen to the other cities of Lindon, which certainly have room for them. This will be aided by the number of cargo shuttles you have and will allow you more time before having to expand Hollin.
Time: 1 year
Cost: 402,000 Thrones, 40,200 Material, 20,100 Metal, 201,000 Promethium.
Upkeep: None
Reward: 15 million citizens move to Doriath and Lorien.
Population Pressure: Rebuild Limberlost – A more time-consuming but useful method of dealing with the overpopulation in Hollin is to rebuild Limberlost. This is made far easier by the newly completed railway which will allow easy access even for heavy machinery. The main reason to rebuild Limberlost is that it would give you access to the massive promethium reserves that it is built over. Henry has come up with a four year plan to rebuild Limberlost but informs you that General Drago would have to recruit more forces to defend it or thin the defenses around other cities in the Everglades.
Time: 4 years.
Cost: 29,800,000 Thrones, 4,462,000 Material, 4,134,000 Metal, 963,800 Promethium, 1,000 Advanced Material.

Ok, plan time. Not a lot of hard choices this turn.
[X] Send Aid to Alfheim
Well, sucks that we won't have Vikings, but
[X] Asteroid Miners
[] Population Pressure: Rebuild Limberlost
[X] Collegia
-[X] Expedite: Collegia
We have to do one orbital action, and Astroid Miners is currently the only one availalbe. It'll also increase our metal production, so that's good.
We want to get Liberlost rebuilt ASAP because we want that Promethium. Liberlost is not affordable due to Advanced Material constraints. Needs to wait a year. Figuring out the best alternative.
Expanding Hollin. Now that we know Avernus isn't under threat we can go ahead and start a Hive Expansion. Decided to go with Collegia. We can wait one turn for the Forge Complex to come online and Expand Limberlost.
[X] Establish Embassy: Svartalfheim
[X] Diplomatic Contact (Niflheim)
Go ahead and try to get the embassy established, and Niflheim is desirable but if it fails due to the Shadow in the Warp it's not a big deal.
[X] Targeted Cultist Hunt: Yphax
Since Oakheart thinks we've still got a few years before we need to start replacing Psyker Hunters, I'd like to make a major dent in the remaining large cult before we do. Psyker Hunters can start next year.
[X] Explore Ruins
[X] Examine Hydra Variants
Explore the ruins again to continue clearing it out.
Examining the Refractors because A) we've had them for a while and B) they are pretty much a sure success with our bonuses, barring a critical failure. I could be convinced to switch to something else, but this will also open up a project to give all the Governor's Own Refractors as well. Changed to Hydra Variant. It's also pretty much a sure thing, and we won't be able to do the Refractor action next turn anyways due to our plans to expand Limberlost.

So one question durin on doing some of the adeptus mechanics examine item actions like the refractor field and the vox stc ; if we roll well on them would they be able to deploy a few of them even if only for the governor to use?
Also a thought on our friendly local inquisitor, I think he is of the Thorian faction who look for certain individuals who happen to be a lot more successful than they should be as possible champions of the god emperor. He is pushing the governor to be the leader to see how much the Emperor supports us.

@durin
I assume there is a preference for certain types of regiments on Alfheim? Such as Armor and Mechanized Infantry? Does General Drago have a recommended mix? Will we choose the mixture in a later vote or just whatever General Drago picks?
Will any of the Specialist or Artillery Regiments be available to deploy?

Doesn't this mean you should take it this turn considering it takes three years to complete and to come into effect?
Not necessarily. Mainly I don't want to lock up all our Arbites actions for more than one turn, though honestly this is something I'm not all that adamant about and could be convinced to change.
Are you sure a hive expansion is as safe as you think it is? We might not be under threat from the Tyranids but we've still got our native wildlife to fear and we're going to be missing a lot of our troop numbers thanks to reinforcing Alfheim. Assuming we max out on reinforcements we're looking at potentially over half our forces committed off world.
As an aside, what are the chances of the fight with the 'nids taking more then a single week to resolve like our other wars? Specifically, are we looking at the possibility of a multi-turn war? Cos if we are then those Vikings might still have some potential uses.
[X] Enjou
Pretty much what I want(although I'd give Myrmidons a try. FINALLY)
Also, the idea of wearing one of the working refractors for going into battle seems to be a good idea. Although... Shouldn't we already have had one? Regular refractors are standard issue for Guard Colonels on the tabletop.

Crap... this is what happens when trying to be clever and get all the goodies in time instead of being safe and just getting the Vikings last turn. My fault as I'm the one that argued for that plan.
Military:
[X] Send Aid to Alfheim
1,000,000 Thrones, 10,000 Material, 100,000 Promethium
------------------------------------------
I'll try to come up with a plan on what 1,000 regiments to send. Fortunately the Milita will be done and that will make it safer to send lots of forces away.

[X] Asteroid Miners

-[X] Expedite: Collegia
703,500 Thrones, 70,350 Material, 70,350 Metal, 7,035 Promethium
------------------------------------------------
We can't refound Limberlost because it requires 1,000 Advanced Materials and we only have 700+. Why it costs that much I have no idea. Previous re-foundings didn't cost any advanced material.
Diplomacy:
@durin Shouldn't we have the option of Trade Negotiations with Asgard? We did establish an embassy there. Would it be helpful to negotiate with them for Asgard to send forces to help defend Alfheim as well? Or they already doing that?
[X] Establish Embassy: Svartalfheim
141 000 Thrones
[X] Diplomatic Contact (Nilfheim)
42,600 Thrones.
Might switch to Trade with Asgard if durin says that is an option.
Arbites:
[X] Constant Recruitment: Psyker Hunters
670,000 Thrones, 13,400 Material, 670 Metal, 67 Promethium
We are only 2 turns away from more open Arbites actions and I feel Yphax can wait that long. Frankly it is such a small city that it's not as high a priority to me as keeping psykers under control.

We could always just take one of the working versions with us. We have something like 5 or 6 that are completely functional.
Yes, it should be fine. We expanded our forces specifically so we could field an army without stretching our defenses thing, and the city still has the enhanced defenses.
I included this in my vote:
-[] Free Action: For the battle, equip one of the working archeotech Refractors
Previous refoundings did not include the defenses we currently have.
Also, don't forget to double down on the Tarot. And you should Expedite the Collegia. It's quite affordable to do so.
EDIT - I'm changing over to Collegia. I'd rather start refounding Liberlost next turn, since we could afford it due to the Forge Complex coming online at the end of this turn.

I propose:
[X] Send Aid to Alfheim
Not really a choice.
[X] Construct: Asteroid Miner
I prefer to increase the number of space ships while we can, and I expect we'll want the existing intra-system ships when the Moon Cities are established.
[X] Population Pressure: Expand Hollin: Phase One
The only thing we can really afford to fix rather than move the problem
[X] Establish Embassy: Svartalfheim
[X] Diplomatic Contact (Nilfheim)
Not much else to so with the warp as it is
[X] Targeted Cultist Hunt: Yphax
Let's break the back of them while we can
[X] Try to Complete STC Fragment: Warp Scanners
More warning about attacks would be very useful particularly if there are incoming waves of tyranids.
[X] Expand Temple-Forge
-[X]Expedite: Expand Temple-Forge
We can't trade with Atlas, we have a big backlog of research to do, and a big backlog of manufacturing already researched equipment, so we might as well expand our infrastructure in the lull while the payoff from research and exploration is further away
[X] Emperors Tarot
Let's get this done
[X] Lead Reinforcements
Another obligatory one

FYI to those voting for my plan, I changed to doing the Hydra Variant this turn instead of Refractors. We'll have open military actions next turn, and we won't be able to afford to do the Governor's Own action next year if we want to expand Limberlost next turn. Hydra Variants are more optimal.
@Alratan - You forgot a Personal action and a Pyskana action. Also, we just bought 10 Asteroid Miners. And don't forget to double down on something.

I've added the last two actions.
I wouldn't count on having many open military actions next year. If we spend the year campaigning on Alfheim we may not have the personal attention to give, as we won't be there, and we're going to want to be building up
For example, if we're fighting the Tyranids, we're really going to want to get both Deathstrike Missiles and Macharius Heavy tanks to counter tyranid synapse creatures as soon as possible, and that's not mentioning the Vikings that are obvious. I think we need them more than Limberlost.

[X]Send Aid to Alfheim
Want to keep this planet, or at least slow down the rate at which it falls.
[X]Asteroid Miners
[X] Population Pressure: Expand Hollin: Phase One
Metal constraints, pressure because we're campaigning to stall the Tyranids.
[X] Establish Embassy: Svartalfheim
[X] Diplomatic Contact (Niflheim)
Don't care about any, requests for aid are too low due to shadow in the warp.
[X]Constant Recruitment: Psyker Hunters
Want to get this done, we're grinding away at the cults anyway. Better if we don't risk running out of Psyker hunters in a few years because we were too busy otherwise.
[X]Explore Ruins
-[X] Double Down: Explore Ruins
[X]Expand Temple-Forge
-[X]Expedite: Expand Temple-Forge
Advanced material constraints suck, want to alleviate this even more. Also another +10 bonus to rolls. Which is good since we have a pretty big backlog of negative base chance actions.
[X]Emperors Tarot
Re-roll, 'nuff said.
[X]Lead Reinforcements
Because we are an awesome general. If things become too hot for us we can retreat.
Edit: If we can't expedite the psyker hunters we might as well expedite upgrading the forge.
