Aspec: WH40k mod is a painless experience Me: That's was a lie

A perfect simulation of the Administratum, virtually guaranteeing that entire sectors will be mismanaged and forgotten for centuries

"I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to manage all that" well what do you know, neither does the Imperium. Immersion guaranteed.

"The tau are sitting in their corner so bless them for not having to do anything I'll purge them later" is pretty lore accurate lmao

"There's is just so many wars all the time" Welcome to 40K

This mod helps you understand Guilliman’s pain.

Ah yes Stellaris: the game where you begin like the Tau, full of hope for peace and serenity, and end up like the Imperium, full of hatred and retribution against the xenos...

It's a cool mod, and I respect the effort that went into it... but the only way I can see myself ever really using this is simply as a means to test the strength of my computer's machine spirit.

40K is cursed in Stellaris because on the surface one would believe it the perfect marriage between form and function. Obviously, it was a shotgun wedding.

I feel like this Mod is the perfect punchline to the old 'be careful what you wish for' I think I'm gonna take 'personally micromanage the Imperium of Man' off my bucket list

"Why aren't there more 40k mods?" GW's Deranged Lawyering Team: May we have a word?

17:43 Guilliman waking up to the Imperium circa M41

“The list! It doesn’t end… IT DOESNT END!” -New administratum employee

You know, if weren't for the wars happening, you could spins those hundred or so planets into Vassals, keeping only the 20 or so in you main sector, which would actually be manageable! If you could form a Federation to keep them all under your thumb, you could have a great time dealing with all the craziness!

Glorious, exactly like the 40k universe is supposed to look like

starts a campaign of warhammer 40k in stellaris "why are there so many wars going on?"

Just a taste of the true logistical challenge of the Imperium’s Great Crusade and maintaining control of it all

Maybe any future total conversions should take place in a custom sector. There's simply too much going on at any one time for any one person to handle. That being said, this is relatively accurate for what the Imperium has to deal with.

This seems to be a brilliant simulation of the imperial administratum! We thank you for your sacrifice Aspec.

Seeing this makes me wonder how a “craft world” origin would feel in vanilla. Start with one or two, limited colonization and population cap, but massive tech boons and head start. Highly mobile with fluid borders based on craftworld location. Might be an amazing addition with more refinement.

...Why? Why so many worlds. I *might* understand the desire to have everything match up but... COME! ON! That's too many! I can already smell the burning my pc would do if I even *considered* playing this mod! How many pops... How many districts... Could sector AI even be able to handle this? Those systems all packed together... This is a logistical *nightmare*... How long do ships take to get from one place to another... **Brain.exe has stopped functioning**

Who thought making a mod where you have to control hundreds of planets was a good idea?

Now we know what Guilliman walked into upon his resurrection and return to Terra. Utter chaos and the Imperial administrative bureaucracy was running like this game on Aspec's computer. Thanks for the showcase Aspec.

12:31 This isn't a visual glitch, this is uhh... Warp anomalies leaking to our reality!

Pop. 13716, your computer processor is screaming louder than the thousands of souls sacrifced everyday to the Golden Throne.

You said it, it is a simulation of the Empire's High Council, so you need at least 100 players alternating to properly play this

"There's just so many wars going on, all the time." 14:56 I mean you are playing a mod for a setting whose tagline is "In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war", remember? 😅

my god the border gore it's painful to look at

I know I will never be able to run this mod, but boy, if you want to have just a GLIMPSE of what the administratum going through on a daily basis, this mod is it XDDD

A better wh40k mod would be to take place at the beginning of the great crusade. That would be best since the imperium of man I'd just the solar system at that point beginning to go out and create the space empire. I have yet to see anybody have a mod start there. It's a no brainer

I hate to be the one saying "Um Actually!" but, um.. actually... The Imperium still knows how to build Battleships and Titans, but only on certain worlds. On some Forge worlds they can pump them out as easily as we see in Stellaris, while on others the knowledge to produce them has been lost and they may not even be able to fully operate or repair the ones they have. There's also a major issue with resource management, even if you have a planet that knows how to build Titans there's no guarantee they'll always have the resources to produce one.

"… Because they’re about to get purged beyond belief". Never change, Stellaris. Never change, Warhammer 40K.

This WH40K total conversion mod is a piece of art, as such, it should be placed on a wall and never touched... Never play it, only look at it!

I think the only reason Aspec is able to run this mod its because it requires the 2.2 version, without a LOT of things that the newer versions have. Because otherwise his computer would start sounding like a f*cking Lamborghini before exploding like a system being hit by the Quasi Interstellar Obliterator from Gigastructures

I think warhammer could be implemented with a horus heresy start, to reclaim the galaxy, everything else is just insane...

On an old warhammer 40k mod, you would be attacked by chaos forces on twenty worlds in a row in an event that would happen every decade

Me: Describe Adeptus Administratum in one sentence. Aspec: "We're just going to go ahead and ignore all of that..."

I can already smell the Warcrimes

Please Paradox, get the licence to do a proper 40K version for a DLC. I'll buy it!😀

Actual Title: "How Guilliman feels trying to run the imperium"

This is basically guilliman waking up in the 41st

Honestly the orks painting an entire planet really seems on brand

0:50 As a T'au Player myself I can assure that those damned Xenos do not want to live in peace and prosperity, thats why we show it to them ... by force

Why all this pain Aspec? I just mod the hell out of normal Stellaris for a pretty close 40K experience. There's even a mod which basically recreates the eye of terror. FOR THE EMPEROR!

If there is someone who can manage all this and achieve a galaxy conquest then they are the true emperor of mankind

"of course, we are immediately at war with everybody and everybody is at war with everybody" 40k in a nutshell

Glad to see Drifting Boyz back

Recently I rolled back my Stellaris and tried to come up with a strategy to win in this scenario, but I think it may genuinely not be winnable, or it may just take years to do so. Since the market is broken, I feel like a genuine strategy has to avoid it entirely (otherwise just trade for infinite resources, and win as any faction). So to lay out the situation; there are IIRC 35 or 37 xeno empires, and each has at least 1 shipyard and at least 1 fleet at a strength between 52k and 187k. You get maybe a combined fleet power of 500-750k. The western half of the Imperium at first glance appears the safest, but immediately falls to events where human rebels secede, followed shortly thereafter by chaos invasions across 2 of the major clusters. I'm genuinely not sure if it's better to reconquer those worlds or focus elsewhere. Eventually the events calm down and you get the relative peace of dealing with the AI factions, their fleets, and their invasions unaided by events - except if you invade an ork world they get an event dropping 1-5k troops and up to 100k fleet strength on at least one random world of yours. There are also random dark eldar raid events, chaos events up to invasions of random planets, and random ork invasions; where if they take your world and you retake it later, it spawns a counterattacking ork invasion on a random world. Your mineral income appears fantastic, but isn't enough to rapidly turn around your economy, your food deficit is a major hurdle that quickly cascades into a consumer goods deficit and gridlocks the galactic economy; although you can conquer a few xeno worlds, set them to processing, and kill two birds with one stone. Your alloy production is abysmal given the scale of the problem. After all there there are two major hurdles; the first is that your fleets are too small to defend everywhere and there are no choke points. You can amass your fleets to deal overwhelming damage to 1 enemy faction at a time, but "warp" / hyperlane travel damages and occasionally destroys ships in your fleet, so the very act of massing a battlefleet / crusade causes attrition to your fleets at a scale you can't afford to repair. The second issue is just that it's so much to manage. The Imperium undoubtedly has, if not the resources, then the potential resources to overwhelm every single hostile faction one at a time; grinding down the galaxy one xenocidal campaign after the other until you can defeat what's left in a stand up fight. You start with something like 600 world and 13000 human pops, the issue is molding them into anything useful, and I personally can't imagine micromanaging production on that many worlds for as long as it would take to make it useful. TL;DR Essentially, the Imperium is an ice sheet drifting into warm water, you have a small paddle. Do you fight the current, and try to return to colder seas, or do you spend your time doing anything else?

I would love if they remade this so that you only control Terra, and the other parts be "vassal empires". It would simplify much of the action.

If it's painless is it really Warhammer 40k?

The reality is, if GW did a colaboration with Paradox and released this as an "expansion" the WH40k community would lap it up and call it the most realistic Administratum simulator ever and say daft things on Steam in the reviews like: "11/10 - would get wrecked from all directions again and again" "9/10 - No Tyranid hive fleet tried to kick my back doors in so minus 1 point" "12/10 - Orc WAAAAGH tokyo-drifted into my flank and destoyed everything they touched - Perfection!" "100/10 - A backwater world rebelled against the Emperor - Would Exterminatus again" "11/10 - Cadia stands strong!..... edit: Cadia cracked in two but the planet broke before The Guard did. Tears of joy. Would let Cadia fall again!"

So how has the Star Trek conversion mod(s) aged with the newer versions of stellaris?

Everyone gangsta untill they actually get to play as the empire and see how much of a clusterfuck it is.

Lol. Basicly Guilliman Simulator 2022!

You have it a lot better than the council of terra. You get immediate and precise info and can immediately and accurately send out orders ^^

They should've made you do the Indomitus Crusade or the Great Crusade so that you have to conquer the planets instead of having so many planets from the get go

5:29 *Down the rabbithole we go!*

How to experience a thousandth of the pain the Man Emperor feels every second: attach a bunch of electrodes to yourself, download and start this mod, get through all the lore stuff then hit play, take your hands off the keyboard, put the game on fastest then turn the electrodes on.

This is probably the best way to try and do a total war of Warhammer 40k. It's too vast and all encompassing. If you just do a world I don't think it will work

8:28 congratulations, you've just experienced what it's like to be the head of the adeptus administratum

eldar go into the eye of terror to find those soul gems thingies from their ruined former planets

Every play through ends up as me role playing the imperium no matter where I start But yeah… Playing with a bunch of small mods is better than the big ones (so I’ve found)

"Jesus Christ what a mess" That's about right

> "Why are there so many wars going on all the time?" In the GrimDark future there is only WAR!

Now that's what I call a wide empire

administratum in a nutshell *looks at all the sectors and planets with a lack of resources* "so we're just gonna go ahead and ignore all of that"

Have a great weekend brother. 😀

"Yea were just gonna go ahead and ignore all of that" the emperor of mankind concerning the management of imperial world circ 35000

2:22 "tau_commie" Damn weeaboo space communists.

"I've played one year of gameplay" Lots happening in M40 999

The Ork ships drifting had me dieing!!!! If enough believe.

Orks drifting in space during a battle is such a ork thing to do

Ok, ignoring the numerous hoops you have to jump through, the starting map and scenario seems AWESOME to play.

Just another day at the office in the Warhammer 40k universe

Tau Empire for the win

Orks doing space donuts is the greatest shit ever

Live footage of the administratum trying to manage the empire.

This is what the necrons see in the star map place

Not sure my computer can run this but the team behind the mod deserve praise

Tbh, when Tyranids ate their first planet of the Imperium, it took them 5 years to notice it in the first place. Administrative brothel is the standart state of things 😂

You ask yourself, How am I gonna manage all this mess? That's the neat part. You don't!

8:40 "So we're gonna go ahead and ignore all " Yeah the imperium did the same.

0:21 That ship is massive!

> "...running out of food." Faith in The Emprah will sustain us!

Its reasonable to think that we might have somewhere around 40 pre-heresey strengths legions just chilling around the galaxy forgotten because of mismanagement at this scale.

I thought my youtube glitched when I heard ranboo, thanks aspec

For the record, the craftworld orbiting the Eye Of Terror is Ulthwe

You should have like the option of a "federated" Imperium of Mankind, and only play a part of the Imperium.

"Theres just so many wars here... all the time!"

25,000 Admin?!? No wonder there’s rebellions every other Friday. ASpec’s biggest issue is that he didn’t spend 20hours refining his planets and sectors.then the fun can really begin.

Was not expecting Ranboo's voice at the beginning

I can hear the adpetus mechanicus cogitators literally screeching at this.

There’s a ceritan amount of irony in the fact that the tau are the only ones who’s picture thingy is working as intended

Now for Dune!

Scrolling thrue a few hundred worlds: "I know the Imperium has millions of worlds, but this getting a little ridiculous!" :D

i like Stellaris alot, i just sumble across this mod i realy hope it got updated further and is now even better. it would be cool we get a realy Warhammer 40K game in space Stellaris style with realy flesht out mechanics and many other features too. I also stil lwhait for a mmorpg in the warhammer 40K universe sadly the one that was in development many years ago never finisht.

I still play with the 40K planet mod and ship set, bit that's it.

This was great content, thanks @aspec
