Purging our populace of disloyal thought... Sounds like a great idea, let's do it.
We're friends with Malcs, Guilleman, and the Twins, calling in a favor or three to reduce embezzlement to a more manageable level should be no issue.
Hell we may want to have some or all of the above teach us and/or some of our boyos how to do it so we can track down cults through their money flow.
By combining the purity of the Wardens with the dread terror of the IRS, we shall become unstoppable.

It's a valid option, no guarantees of success though.
Edit: For now it'd just be a write-in of 50 Materials and 10 Population.

Other question.... how many new sectors do we get per turn? We have 22 right now, with 14 sectors not currently at cruiser+high or better. At 2 per turn that's 7 turns before its finished, at 3 per turn its 5 which isn't much better. Once we get to cruisers + high in every sector what happens with that bonus does it just wasted until we get more sectors or can we turn it into going battleship+advanced for 1-1.5 sectors or something like that?
That'd be a per sector cost I'm guessing?

At this time you get 5 sectors a turn. If you do get to full Cruisers+High, then it start upgrading to Battleship+Advanced at a rate of half of what it was previously. If you're full on that then it starts upgrading to Glorianas at an as of yet undetermined rate.
Edit: You have also already gotten the sectors for this turn.
@Daemon Hunter what was our previous deal with the Mechanicus?

They are yes, although it's a more narrative randomization if that makes sense. Basically the initial quality is rolled and then I roll for the specialty which modifies the values of what it produces.
Edit: It's a different randomization, but basically yes.
The previous deal is something I don't actually remember fully anymore.

It's a really good one, but mathematically what's really holding us back at the moment us the Tech. It looks like we could semi-easily get about 150, to 200 more Materials a turn if we tried, but the biggest increase to Tech per turn I see is abour....13.
Funnily enough. Sending a few Wardens out to help would likely stop a significant sum of it.
That's...actually a really good deal. Fir the Population dump of nothing else.
Yeah, getting tech is hard, the best ways to do it involve upping the tech/infrastructure levels afaict. Education has a huge potential pay off since it might allow people to improve on their own, but the tech cost is huge.
The forge forging is the best capstone for upping our tech output, but the conveyers help the imperium un-fuck itself a little, and that's a huge priority right now.
Hopefully we can start running our production up fast enough that we can start doing multiple capstones or major upgrades per turn, but until then we're limited.
Honestly take the Tech hit for the first turn for the Conveyers, we can grow tech next turn and fixing the logistics Mess of the imperium takes priority

If we were trying for that, then the .5% increase to the whole Imperium might be wise. But wiser still would be investing for the future.
With a Tech increase large enough to do two actions a turn, it'd be child's play to increase Material production by the same amount and do twice as much good. And, better yet, I think it would onky take three turns or so to do so...if I can just get my math ironed down.
Edit: I just realized you were asking for the conveyors, I feel dumb now. But I still recommend pushing Tech as hard as we can here.

Yes, but also we're 35% over per year, and going down to 34.5% over, while very helpful, just isn't quite enough to justify for me.
Something we need to do sooner than later if only so Admech can boost up our tech producers when we run out of bleh sectors to work with.
We have even less funds for this than we do for the previous, so same applies.
Hydrae produces 44 CG now, and so this would be causing it to make 88...not worth the cost at present, which really sucks but we got too much things we need to spend money on. maybe if we do well enough.
This might seem small but it would build up quickly and is something I'd consider worth investing in to save on the amount of troops we lose in the GC *and* the Warpal Reefs region.
Narak produced 82 and 44 of materials and CGs respectively, which would lead to narak making 123 and 66 respectively...that actually would be worth the investment imo. might consider this in this or next turn's plans.
Tempting, *really* tempting, but being able to blast worlds into daemonworlds so it's easier for us to fight and gives us an excuse to make daemonworlds to fight daemons on is not worth the investment just yet.
Very much yes, if we can afford it this and next turn, the better they are, the more they will live and so on and so forth.
Sounds like something to do in a bit when the IA can even afford it and has the numbers to spare.
Yes, yes, all of my yes. This will put us up to 3 systems a turn unless we fund one ourselves, and it will take 5 turns even with this extra one...and we get 5 new sectors a turn, so we're going to need to keep booking it. this is an absolute must imo
This one combined with the drop carriers...i am actually considering doing if only because it'll help ensure that Nurgle won't be as easily able to mess with us.
Another absolute must, this will tie into everything else we got going on in terms of fixing the bloody budget @_@
On the one hand, this will help us make our regions even more productive...on the other hand...it'll be really expensive and take about 4 turns for each system we do it in the feel the full effect...so it'll be a delayed gratification at best. It might be something we do once a turn and eat the cost so we have a staggered increase of tech each turn as well in addition to everything else going on.
Something to consider when we get more materials, it'll take some time but I do think that it will be doable in quest.
Something nice and shiny but after we've looked after our people
I wish we could, they've certainly earned it @_@ but there's still so much we need to do.
This is basically more focused on getting more materials than tech, as tech numbers are too small to really be affected but it helps population, CG, and Materials so if we do this in all our sectors...we'll actually see a serious net gain in everything but tech
This is better but the price is astronomical
useful but friggin expensive...might be worth dealing with once a turn if we eat the debt.
We'd need to do this...18 times to catch us up to where we need to be, so that'd be 1800 materials...might be worth it to do it in chunks of 6 each turn for the next three.
this is a pure unadultrated bribe to them and as such noth worth it
2,200 materials for our entire domain...might legit be worth it to do it in chunks of 550 a turn over 4 turns.
======================================================
All in all a 5% debt interest isn't too bad especially if we build up the right investment early on and get the major ones out of the way for more lesser spending in the turns after. I have a second plan incoming that will probably give people heart attacks but bear with me.

If it works on our domain, on Tech and Materials, and consumer goods, then I'll absolutely and immediately buy it, no questions asked. But otherwise there are just wiser investments at the moment.
It's also worth mentioning that, due to the way the numbers work, this should save about as many Imperial Soldier lives as the dedicated upgrade.
I thought it was just once? I even asked about it on the Discord.

Capstones are one and done, so the Coire Capstone can only happen once.
Oh, and the 0.5% budget increase from said Capstone does also increase the production of your domain.

Ahh, well that os much better. I was surprised at how horrendous an upgrade it was without that, honestly.
Is that for things like Tech too? Or would that only be materials?

Technically it's both, but as I don't want to deal with decimals, practically it just applies for Materials.
