  1. weird question… alot of times in the lore the natural ressources of a planet are exhausted. which makes sense if you ship products off world, BUT… does the imperium recycle war material? i know about ships (sometimes) and famously dead people on hive worlds. but one would think that there is a lot of scrap after wars to be recycled, limiting the need for mining. also… the waporising(disapearance) of all native water is dumb, since it stays on the planet if not shipped away (yes sometimes water can escape a planet, but not due to human factor exccept exporting it)
    question over
    Your videos are amazing occulus thank you for another gem =D

  2. I love the “complete” episodes. Also, the Xana series is maybe my favorite of your works: I don’t know how many times I’ve watched it, but its probably waaay too many times…
    And I love crazy Mechanicum/admech stuff, and I wish it got explored in depth more.

  3. Personally, I think that Xana adopted the Machine Cult as a cover to avoid conquest by the Imperium. They were in fact a Dark Age outpost of humanity, explaining their advanced technology and sheer number of god engines

  4. I still don't get why Xana bothered to make a deal with Horus anyway. The Imperium at it's full might couldn't conquer them profitably and they had the ability to do whatever research they wanted while the Imperium you're it's sort.
    Why not just stay independent and then mop up the survivors?
