I've attached a more recent Version of my subjugation techs here.

There is nothing in abilities.txt about this second value. Have you checked if this works when a UPC is in the system? If it does, this is an important change in the way this ability works and needs to be added to abilities.txt so people know it's there![b]
The non-zero number in the second value of the "Change Population Happiness - System" ability doesn't do anything. I was trying to see if it would change the rate (in turns) that happiness is changed. Instead of per turn, it could be per two turns or per year. I experimented with it and it always acted the same. The UPC nullifies the happiness penalties of the Labor Camps and Strip-Mining Facilities. I was hoping that the game added up the happiness modifiers for all of the facilities on a planet instead of simply using the "best" one. I'll have to make it so that Subjugators can't build UPC's and their kin. Oh well...
I also tried changing the second value of the abilities that modify planet values, but it didn't make a difference. I wanted to see if I could make the value drop per turn instead of per year, but I couldn't get it to work.

What exactly are you talking about? Do you mean that you can change the standard movement rate of an engine, thereby doubling or tripling its speed, or the different movement bonuses, or something else?
Also, I still can't get negative reproduction rates or negative Replicant Center abilities to work. This all puts quite a damper on my vision of the Subjugation Technology.
