21:30 You Mean Alien crops? Because rmemeber, anything fancy teh imeprium get is by illegal retro-engineering of Xenos tech.

The way the imperium colonize planets and have aggri worlds, dedicated to that do not only show that the imeprium is willing to establsih colony on world taht will be dificultly food sufficient but also and mainly taht the imperium over specialize its colonies to avoid scecession. Wich is STUPID consider how transportation and trade is so risky.

Ya know, that be a fun game to try out

"In the grim darkness 41st Millenium there is only Farm!"

Just imagine a truck driving sim, but you’re an Imperial transport ship going through space. Several minutes of floating around and suddenly a pirate raid occurs, and then you could have small skirmishes. I wish there were more games like that.

Honestly, you joke, but that could be pretty interesting. Imagine something like the NASA Crawler (although much faster) that they used to transport the Space Shuttle... but that's your "tractor" and mobile base. And it's nuclear or plasma reactor powered. And you have to harvest basically the size of Texas worth of just wheat. Just... Wheat. Wheat for as far as the eye can see for what would be an hour's worth of time flying over it in a jet.. And you have to manage harvesting the wheat, separating, sorting, cleaning, packaging, transport and defense of it from dangerous wildlife. All while managing like several hundred servitors like resource collecting units in an RTS or something.

@@matchesburn That sounds amazing. I'd imagine it would have to be an RTS game given how large the map would have to be, and all the tasks you would have to manage.

I think it was a Roman merchant from Sicily who were known to be gourmands and have a expanded palate.

@@frankenstein6677 Thanks man :)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄

Use fertilizers? Ammonia nitrate comes to mind, including all the problems it brings with its massive energy requirements.

For a planet sized farm fertilizers would absolutely be required too because you would be taking all or most of your produce off planet removing any possibility of recycled nutrients. However changing crops from time to time would help the soil to recover and allow for some nutrient balancing in the food you’re producing for the meatbags you’re sending it to feed.

@@michaelkimberling7307 No, you don't need to rotate farms, you just apply fertilizers in the correct amount at the right time of the year so that the nutrients are available for the plants to absorb. The only reason we produce food in the soil is because it acts as a medium in which nutrients can go from the soil, through the ion pump in the roots and into the plant. Plants do not give two-fucks what they actually grow in, only if the growing conditions are met or not.

If you rotate cows or goats onto farm lands, they'll recover the soil very quickly. Farming plants just kills the planet

@@LazyLifeIFreak You are correct in that you don't *need* to do it, but practicing organic growing techniques such as crop rotation, animal fertilizer, and so, you can grow a lot more food efficiently and effectively without requiring a higher technology base. It's why we still practice these techniques even in the modern day where we could conceivably feed the whole world in massive hydrophonic plants.

The imported food stuff is mostly for the middle and under hivers so they don't riot.

Down forget the corpse starch and soilent green

The problem with hive cities is that they do everything to minimize the populations food requirements. Substantial hydroponics, biomass, and fluid recycling, yet the thing is with populations that dense anything you do to try and lessen the logistical strain is just going to be Band-Aids on bullet holes.

You don't need trees if cows are shitting everywhere. Any sense plants will work and they all eat cow shit

Huh, i guess people don't get to see that reply...

@@TherealTenmanI It's only for the those with papers.

The Aztecs had a pretty good system set up for that. Trees, irrigation canals between and even fish.

It's not dirt it's soil. Dirt is what you empty from a vacuum cleaner.

Who doesn’t love piranha steak.

@@nejumeachamp3834 Indeed

Depending on the piranha species, they might not be carnivores. There are massive ones that eat tree nuts as well as small fish

@@Mulletmanalive Yes. Red Bellied I believe.

@@semi-useful5178 I was thinking of Pacu, though most subspecies are omnivores, yes. Always disappointed patrons at the aquarium that our school literally carried the carcass off and hid before eating, rather than making like the ones in Live and Let Die

And it was why the first non-American adopters of corn had outbreaks of pellagra because that process was not shared with them. RIP a bunch of Spanish peasants and Africans.

I was looking for this comment XD

you are a shiny spade, not a cog. look up chaos uprising video for more.

5 minutes later... "what is that dark could coming closer? Ou did you hear that astropathic messages are not getting trough, whats up with that?" Then again one could live their lifes in somewhat peaceful manner since time scale is such vast in 40K

I would imagine the majority of worlds and people never see the crazy intergalactic warfare or get blockaded by chaos or attacked by Tyranids or invaded by Orks. Maybe a local uprising on the world itself, a war or two every generation between large factions or nations on the planet - like what we experience on earth. Any conflict the average person experiences is probably with other people from his or her world, if any.

There is no one that insanely lucky, either their planet will be annihilated or the person will taken off planet, forever being unable to return to their peaceful life.

You still live under the most brutal regime imaginable so your life isn't exactly baby town frolics.

Flyover -country- planets.

Hey we get a mention!

*cocks shotgun We dun take too kindly to hiveworlder's round 'ere.

Yay

Seeing what such warriors would have wanted to do if the war had ended is remarkably melancholy for 40K. Reminds me of the picture floating around on the internet of Perturabo in full Great Crusade power armor, but with a kid on his power-armored knee, both of them smiling and happy, surrounded by toys and crafts the Primarch had made.

So they had massive vinyards for making wine and it never occured to them it might attact the one Space Marine chapter with a disposition for alcohol? XD

That would be a great use but I think Hive worlds just pump it into the lowest section from what I remember

@@Jst.a.Normal.Bottle.of.Mustard Could be that its stored there and once every hundred years it gets pumped to orbit... or mined out depending on its consistency. The hive does not need to have its own pumps, could be just a thing for the poop ship have. Though pretty sure they wont waste water in this operation, so its gets pumped into ship that separates the water making it into solid that gets stored, while water gets pumped back to hive storage tanks to be processed, or that too is done on orbit. Once in agri world, ship pumps water up, dehydrates the solids into liquid and pumps it down. This is most feasible method of transporting shit... though human solids tend to be issue, so there probably is some processing done it the shiip.

The Brown Ships, even more dreaded than the Black Ships.

Feces is actually being considered for use as radiation shielding by nasa. It would essentially by stored in the walls of space ships instead of isolated tanks

Just use the ships that carry the food to the hive world to bring the fertiliser with them on the return trip.

Do they put stuff in to make the inmates more docile or is that just a conspiracy theory?

Naw. By law one of the officers has tasted a random tray. But some of the boxes of meat paste do say ” Institutional used only." I think the company that provided the food was called "Miami Special Meats inc" or something like that. If you look on the Florida Department of Corrections website they have a master menu. Fun Fact about 90% of FL DOC prison does not have A/C, like Mordian

​@@ha2vard27 when you think about it, imperial knights are the sci-fi version of a forklift with an AK 47 strapped to it

@@niks3632 knights are more of a multi tool with a big folding knife. Great for a lot but also handy in a fight against local wildlife/raiders.

@trueblue23 Most 7.62x39 (type of ammo the AK-47-pattern carbines take) is Russian and has been made illegal to import in a lot of western countries. It's getting mighty expensive and will only get worse as 90% of the supply is drying up. Your pre-historic (from 40k perspective) Knight will be quite expensive to operate if you're too liberal with the dakka switch.

And then the war between the Imperium and the Tau will eventually lead to the world becoming useless. Imperial victory then

​@@tefras14 The imperium might let a back water or two slide into Tau heresy but the instant the Tau go for an Agri world, they are just plain dead.

@@tefras14 well no. When a planet becomes useless its a loss, and be written down as such. Krieg a good example.

Same thing with an ocean world where they also exported incredible amount of fish. Pretty decent place to live untill the alpha legion and world eaters showed up.

@@firmak2 Kreig was an absolute paradise world before they destroyed themselves, afterwards it's far far more useful to the imperium then a vacation spot for nobles. Personally counting that as a pyrrhic victory.

@@KaiserAfini not the entire population just about 95% of it. Remember we are trying to make another Catachan

@@rasiabsgamingcorner2258 Howabout a fremen desert world rip off. That would mean 90 percent of the populace dies due to “sand worm” rip offs. Instead of those people being killed off they were put to recruitment and become footsoldiers at once.

Many agri worlds dont even have space ports left alone defenses or harvesting Equipment. The mechanicus has specialized harvester fleets that have athmosphere capable bulk haulers and harvester machines the size of titans that take care of the logistics so the planet can produce calories with a minimum of technology and maintainance required.

@@KT-pv3kl that's a pretty good way to do it for the more remote and technologically lacking worlds.

What about an Agri world that has been used up and abandoned? That would be interesting.

@@sciarpecyril >40k >civilised Pick one

@@rybread3981, Elysia or Perlia, for example.

​​@@robertnelson9599Easy. The planet was a newly developed agri world but an Ork waagh drove the locals away. The planet was abandoned for centuries after the waagh subsided. Now the imperium reclaimed the planet but the farms keep getting broken into by: grox that have been turned feral and adapted to the local environment abundant in food allowing them to grow into tank sized beast, snakehead fishes that also broke free of captivity and grow to massive sizes allowing them to swallow a space marine whole and the remnant of the waagh living in the jungle. The local agri workers obviously were no match to the new feralized fauna and turned to a knight house or a fleet born space marines chapter for help. The knights or space marines chapter gladly settled on the planet. The civilians gained protection from the space marines chapter, the space marines get a home planet, free combat training and a food source that often eats them back.

Submarine food is supposedly pretty damn good and considering being stuck in a tin can for months on end, honestly I am perfectly fine with that. If I was stuck in a tin can with the same people, no fresh air, no elbow room and sanity on the short end I can understand why such creature comforts is needed. Stay sane, stay safe.

@@LazyLifeIFreak I knew a guy who was a submariner and he said the food was pretty good. That is one posting I would never delude myself into thinking I could do.

Air Force has, unsurprisingly, the best chow.

True that. One of the best meals I ever had in my life was back in 1990, was in the army at Ft Riley and a couple of us got tapped for a funeral detail. We had to travel somewhere, was a private so it was " put on your class A's & get your ass in the van, enjoy the trip", but it was a long enough trip we had to stop at an air base for chow. OMG that food was awesome ! Base discipline was shit, guys walking around with football jerseys under their BDU's and hats on sideways... but damn that food was in my top ten meals even 30+ years later.

Depends on the agri-world Some are industrialized, some are not industrialized but still conservationist in the way you described, and some are blatantly wasteful, like Nazi Germany times 100 levels of wasteful. Most are America level farming tho.

Inquisitor:... this is Fine I guess.

Love the image of a little bunch of lettuce with tiny cherry tomotos and pre-sliced-looking baby carrots growing from the same plant. They grow the dressing in the neighboring facility. Ranchvine and Caesarberry are particularly popular.

There are several hydroponics farms in my area but nothing super huge. I feel like they will increase in scale as outdoor growing conditions become increasingly unpredictable.

That's why orks kept living on everywhere

@@darthrevan3342 Okay? Then they get their teeth kicked in and after a few hundred years things go back to normal.

I want to build an argi world revolving around invasive species. The imperium brought some genetically engineered cattle and fish to a planet. Some of these animals escaped captivity into the wild where they cross breed with the local species and grew to massive sizes much like the feral hogs and snakehead fish in north America. Unlike the captive variants which are culled before they get too big to handle, these feral hogs and fish are only limited in size depending on the available food which is quite plentiful on the planet because it has a massive tropical river delta. They are still edible but due to their size and the feral nature, normal agri workers can't hurt them and they tend to break into holding pens and artificial ponds to steal food. This can be a potential home work for a space marines chapter, a knight house or imperial guard regiment who hunt the oversized crocodilian beasts and fish for food and combat training.

That would go under Quarry Worlds I believe. A planet with strategically important resources that maintain the survival of the Imperium.

Luxury goods use wood.

You answered your own question. Imagine a world covered in forest, every inch of land has trees there. Now imagine how many potential planets one sector might have. Now imagine the regrowth of a normal ideal tree, now imagine 1000's of machine eating into the landmass everyday. Then you now understand the reason for lumber world's ... Also to consider, what's the chances of finding a planet completely covered in trees. Probably very rare so there's not point in squandering it

Good fucking point. Cause those idiots still use paper for everything, they’ll have to have multiple planets of dedicated lumber production. Very ineffective methods are the favorite of the Imperium.

Less extreme

Charles Trevelyan in Britain's civil service at the time pushed hard on insisting that Ireland was starving because its people were lazy and morally bankrupt because they became so dependant on potato farming, and needed social reform. He was an advocate of "non-intervention free market" that saw to it that Ireland was better off starving so it would correct itself. It took donations coming from across the world, including Native Americans and even American *slaves* before Britain felt forced to actually do anything, when conditions had already gotten so bad. I don't think it's fair to say they did try to help as best they could.

@@jondoe5937 Actually the, I think Prime Minister of Britain or a similar position, seeing reports of the famine coming, ordered vast grain supplies from the New World. Unfortunately, he lost his office and was replaced by a man that had that attitude. Also, many individual British people did what they could, like Christian preachers. Including the man that invented Binary logic, who was born in England, but excepted a job, teaching at the newly opened University College Cork, which is like a 20 or 30 minutes drive from where I live. He did write about how there was nothing that an individual could offord to stop the crisis, but also records showed that the rich locals where more interesting in fancy living them actually helping the starving masses. This is not the first time I heard stories about wealthy British landowners in Ireland having a "devil may care" attitude, while being more concerned with making money, like communist leaders when they actually get into power. Like Bernie Sanders 5 houses or BLM leaders multi million dollar houses.

@@jondoe5937 That was not a prevalent attitude however, even among the upper crust and especially not amongst the middle classes who were the voting population. Unfortunately despite not being a majority opinion it was concentrated in the worst places, and many powerful individuals in the Government and the Civil Service held similar views. Amongst the middle classes especially the response was one of donations in Britain, but the main problem is that those donations were often mismanaged, slow to be transported, and often badly targeted. Aid organisations even today can be guilty of such mistakes, but the ad hoc rabble of largely inexperienced volunteers who were involved in distributing the Aid early in the Famine made them all! The problem was that such aid would not be efficiently distributed at that time without Government and Civil Service involvement, and people with those views, whilst a minority, were a POWERFUL minority, and so the involvement of Government took far, far longer than it should have. History is almost never black and white, it is almost always a mix of shades of grey. Ascribing those deplorable opinions to Britain as a whole is a mistake, and is an untruth.

I may not be accurate but most agri worlds are kept on the dl even from high ranking inquisitors (unless chaos is afoot of course) and they actually stay relatively safe for a 40k world. Very very ignorant of the universe citizens.

Well, for Chaos forces humans are more important as resource and there are a lot more humans on hive-worlds.

It does happen. That what the alpha legion MO for a while.

Cooler to fight in ruined cities than empty corn fields lol.

A lot of the Imperium's enemies don't think in the same tactical way that we think. For a Khornate warband slaughtering a hiveworld would be a far more valuable act than attackig a lowly agriworld. For a Drukhari raiding party the Hivecity has MUCH more possible slaves so not even a question there , even though smaller parties could decide to play it safer ; their reason wouldn't be your/our current human reasoning. Same for the Tyranids except they just eat all the people , yet maybe the crops of an agriworld might be nutritious as well. And even if the Swarms did attack them they would attack them for this reason , not to tactically starve humans.

That can be a very wide topic. They’re the most inventive siege masters in the galaxy. Like they have destroyed entire fortress worlds by simply conquering or destroying the agri-worlds that supplied the fortress world. How the Iron Warriors siege a planet is entirely up to how imaginative/powerful/influential/insane/warp-touched the local Warsmith is.
