Here's the real question: Would you rather live in Krieg or Catachan?
@@SassyTheSasquatch96There are plenty of metal rich stars (meaning anything besides hydrogen and helium) and billions of stars, many of which are so large you can feed hundreds of planets worth of carbon into them and it would not matter. Then there are red dwarfs, making the majority of the stars in the galaxy, which could likely lenthen they're already incredibly long lifecycle by add mass to it. The interiors of most stars burn carbon, oxygen, and even iron. Our sun likely has the beginnings of this deep in the center, albeit very miniscule. Its a natural part of the nuclear chemistry in in a stars life cycle. Also, we haven't even touch on why, if they are shipping garbage around, would they not ship them to stable, rotating black holes. Dumping things on a planet might work fine, and you recycle the stuff after compression, but carbon, even from quadrillions of humans is not going to impact the intensity of size and lifetime of many stars, millions of them. Maybe, just maybe, it could hurt our suns balance, but our star is very very tiny and uniquely short lived compared to what the galaxy hosts. Now I know "carbon bad for baby" is what you're going for but when a star can burn iron, what's your point? It's not Earth.
I’ve read fiction basically all of my life from high fantasy to cyberpunk and out of all the universes I’ve ever been exposed to the one I would Never go to would be Warhammer It is truly terrifying
what about berserk or redo of healer or now and then here and there. Those worlds are pretty bad. At least in warhammer you can live in a pleasure world.
@@jimthethug7119 Berserk is pretty bad I admit but at least if you die you just die most of the time you don’t get turned into a robot zombie or have your soul tortured for eternity in the warp Redo of a healer I feel like if you’re a nobody in that universe you have a fairly good odds of surviving not great but not the worst
@@jimthethug7119Of all the bad places to be in 40K, pleasure worlds are the most nightmarish to be native to i believe. Think Disneyland wage slaves mixed with brothels that offer everything from "Debbie Does Dallas" to "Hostel" style services.
Personally I think the colossal scale of the setting adds to the grimdark element. Here we have a world where countless billions die everyday with countless others continuing to live monotonous and miserable lives as nameless nobodies, all of which are little more than numbers to those in charge.
What's the art in 13:37, that's badass! Hope he kicks the ass of those bats. Personally I love it when somebody from a hunter gatherer society gets to experience a culture more similar to our own, but with an outsiders perspective. In D&D I play a wizard who was raised in the outlands of Thay with almost zero contact with the outside world aside from sick villagers her mother would heal, and these were all very very basic agricultural villages that send tithes to the Red Wizards in an almost Zardos style way. She ends up being recruited by a renegade (but still evil) Red Wizard for her natural aptitude for magic and anonymity, with her groking magic and having an intuitive understanding of it that doesn't quite align with traditional magical practises
Rest soundly (or otherwise) knowing that when the time comes, your voice WILL be the one to narrate what's happening throughout the galaxy, whether you are still alive or not. Tech, love it or hate it.
When the next elder scrolls game gets announced for release could you do videos on the world(all topics such as races, history, daedra)? @theexploringseries
I was once a mega fan of WH40k, but the players were terribly toxic in my town. I still love the lore however, and as always your videos inspire my creativity.
@@grilledleeks6514 No people to play the game I adored. The game is what kept me for so long. No other people to talk with and nerd, killed the big reason why I enjoyed it in the first place. That's why. :/
Imagine if you would, there was Atleast one point in history that someone wanted to make a Mod for Farming Simulator where an entire planet was one big field. Just think that there could have been the possibility that someone was in the process of making it and stopped. We could’ve been so closed to an Agri World Mod in Farming Simulator
Sooooooo like not to be "that guy" in 40k buuuuuutttttt i have to point out that no imperial world has or has ever had "thousands of hive citys" 2:29 i think the most ive ever heard or read about being on a single planet was 9 and thats the planet of Armageddon. However because there were that many hive citys on the planet it quickly became desolate and iradiated because the very presence of a hive city produces a prodigious amount of waste and human refuse, both mutant and non. I guess you could make the argument that terra has alot but at that point its just an ecumonopolis and is by definition of the name just one big planet sized city. Hive citys are huge like the size of a medium sized country huge, there wouldnt be room on a planet for thousands of them and as i said just a single one is enough to throughly destory a planets natural ecosystem in a mater of a few generations easy.
Just a suggestion but is there a series outside of SCP and warhammer that is big enough for a new series? If I'm honest it's been nearly 6 years of me following a mix of SCP and Warhammer content and I'd like to try something new. I rewatched your video on the mystery flesh pit national park the other day and really enjoyed it. I'd love to see something similar or different!
Maybe to lessen the threat of revolution? The only self-sufficient worlds are those that are technologically behind enough to make revolution impossible.
From a writer's standpoint, it is by what I would call the 'Rule of Grimdark'. For a world where millions, if not billions, of people are cramped into a towering, heavily-polluted megalopolis where they are worked to death and fed processed human cadavers is far more grimdark and thus fitting to the theme of this setting than a typical self-sustaining civilised world. But for in-universe justification, it would be through 'forced co-dependence'. The Imperium of Man has learned a very hard lesson on what happens if too much power is concentrated to a single entity (case in point, the Horus Heresy - it is also why the Imperial Guard is separate from the Imperial Navy, even though the latter also includes the air force). As a result, they can reason that if, for example, a Hive World chooses to rebel, they can just cut it off from the rest of the Imperium, especially from valuable Agri-Worlds, until the world starves itself into submission or becomes too weak to resist against the Imperial war machine. In contrast, a rebelling self-sustaining world can hold itself out for much longer, but leads into new problems. For not only can it 'inspire' other arrogant planetary governors to do the same and deprive the Imperium of their resources, but also opens a new attack vector for its enemies, from infiltrating Chaos cults to alien invaders exploiting a new weak spot against the Imperium of Man. Therefore, any ambitious planetary governor will have to think twice before daring to turn renegade, as doing so would be ultimately be detrimental for them in the long run.
Star Wars fans want to live in that universe. Star Trek fans want to live in that universe. Warhammer fans would rather gargle a cactus than EVER live in that universe.
A bit over a million star-systems. Eh or a bit under a million star-systems. It depends on who in the Administratum you ask and from which world say administrator is from. :D
The closest approximation we have is about a million inhabited worlds (give or take a few thousand), scattered throughout the milky way along stable warp routes.

GW gets they're own numbers wrong and understanding of the system they made as new authors etc leave. You did a good job. If I recall hive worlds originally helped combat pollution by having a hive world in one spot and it would be ok but because of lost tech. I've read that not all farm worlds are terrible if I recall.
Ah hive worlds, where joining the Imperial Guard is a significant step up in terms of living/food.
Which says a lot about the universe, honestly. I get humanity lacks the breathing room to do otherwise, but it's a universe I never want to live in.

Why does the Imperium adhere to such a strategy? Why not make each world self-sufficient?
