Ah, did not know that. Bummer.

That, and I don't think that setting modifies how much damage it takes to kill facilities.

Yeah, to make it work you'd also need to go through the facilities data files and make them all tougher - but the "1 shot kills 1 pop" thing you mentioned above pretty much ruins that idea anyway.
