>>5215463If we take it at face value, rivaling mars or even coming close is well, astonishing. Particularly since it's being done within a single humans lifestyle (indeed a single war campaign) and even without the direct hand of the Primarch. Sure we've got lots of planets feeding it now, but Mars has been built up for 30,000 years.
Did you say Lucius might legit even surpass mars itself? That's . . . mind boggling amazing, even for the Fabricator General. The only plausible explanation I can say is maybe the Machine God truly approves our efforts
I think the moment we even HINT this on Mars there will be a roar crying out for Heresy for the idea that any other forge world could become more productive, and another roar of voices demanding proof. I scarce imagine what will happen when they have proof that there's a planet out there that is as productive as holy Mars.
Maybe the only thing Lucius is missing now is a giant orbital shipyard ring. And turning the moon into a giant orbital defense fortress/gun platform like Phobos.
