"Natural Decrease for Other Races := 20"
but this can be modded).
2.) No: It can't cancel each other because the natural decrease is either that of your native race or the one of other races but not both combined.

Re: Cant figure this out.
 

If 1 alien is on your planet, the entire population is treated as being alien. This applies to happiness, atmosphere compatibility, etc.

Re: Cant figure this out.
 

Since the "Natural decrease - Others" is 20 for all types (Peacefull, Blood Thirsty and Neutral), then all things being equal, that planet should eventually riot.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I am not sure about this. In my tests even with larger values of the natural decrease (100) the happiness went to angry but not to riot after 10-20 turns.
May be I did not wait long enough but may be the natural decrease lowers the happiness only to angry not further. You may need other events like battle losses, foreign ships, plagues to push the happiness over the riot limit. But as said I am not sure about this.

They were one planet and eventually riotted. I didn't know what to do at the time so they just continued to riot over many more turns. I was at the top of the game (totally dominating it) and was sustaining no battle losses or even ship losses. Foreign ships, plagues etc. were not an issue.
