You mean you have the neutral happiness type? Build lots and lots of troops, that's your only hope. Neutral happiness got screwed over in a very big way in stock. Non-intercourse treaties, troops, and the automatic over time change are the ONLY things that can improve happiness for neutral happiness races. ANY other kind of treaty causes unhappiness, though only on the turn it's established, colonizing and capturing planets causes unhappiness despite being a good thing normally, building ships causes unhappiness, battles cause unhappiness regardless of the outcome, and friendly ships nearby have no effect. |

Re: Happiness confusion
Neutral could be called 'I need to give myself a handicap against the AI' or 'Build loads of troops'
I vaugley remember 240 being significant in troops numbers. Something about being able to absorb any negative effect.
Still I was playing a game, swapping sides as I tend to for a laugh. I tried to invade a planet and got a 'Divide by zero error' I think this is because the troops on the planet were 'police' troops and so had nothing, not even a cockpit. Yes this was a mod, so I think that's the reason. But confirmation would be nice.

I do not think there is any such magic number. All factors combine, then the max change per turn is applied. |

Re: Happiness confusion
Must of been under a specific set of circumstances 240 meant something. Buggered if I can remember what though.

Re: Happiness confusion
My philosphy is to simply blow up the sun in that system and rebuild.

Re: Happiness confusion
Looks like I made a tactical mistake. I didn't realize that neutral was more xenophobic than xenophobic.

I guess you are speaking of cultures then: those only affect your characteristics, with Berserkers and Merchants being top of the class. Happiness type is chosen on the last tab in the Empire screen, and is set at peaceful by default. |
