Why don\'t my people love me?
 

OK, in my first PBW game ever, things are going ok.

One problem though...

Everyone is very unhappy. Pretty much all of my planets are at 0% growth, and Unhappy.

I haven't fought any wars yet. No ships lost. I've built UPC in my systems. Yet still, no happy, breeding people.

Suggestions?

What is your happiness type?

They don't get many chances to breed.

If your happiness type is Bloodthirsty, the people are angry because you have fought no battles and had no victories. If you are Neutral, your people are unhappy because you signed treaties above NA, or they are unhappy because you took Neutral. If you took Peaceful, something else is the cuplrit. Did you take a penalty to your happiness trait?
