-More stuff about Imperial Technology-
Imperial technology is absed upno two things:
1. What plans they currently still have in our possession from the Dark Ages.
2. What factories do they still have that can produce everything we need from those plans.
Both are important and dwindling resources in the 40K universe. There are things the Imperials can't make anymore because they've lost all blueprints to make them or the factories have been long destroyed. The neat thing is that despite this, the Imperium still makes technological advancements (albiet much slower than they used to) with their pirmitive knowledge. The tech priests aren't stupid, they just don't have most of the information that details most machines the Imperium can't produce anymore. They're sitll making advancements on weapons and armour. Take for example Hellblast rounds to fight the Tyranid. The armour patterns since the Herasy have also gone up a few ranks. Most Chaos Warriors are still outfitted with grafted Mark III, Mark IV or Mark V power armour (plates of metal, now grafted to their skin because of The Warp exposure and mutations) while current generation Space Marines use Mark VII to Mark VIII Ceramite Power Armour (much stronger and works more like a ceramic scale armour). The time it takes to improve something is far greater because of misunderstandings of their own technology, but there are still new weapons, armour and vehicles still being produced and tested for combat effectiveness.
