I just finished making myself a sphereworld scenario (where every race starts with a fully loaded sphereworld). 'Why is this important?' you may ask.

Well, tis because I had to spend a lot of time filling those damn worlds and that means that 13 races spent a lot of time doing nothing. About 180 turns of nothing. All of the 13 races happines level stalled out at indifferent. This includes a race with neutral happiness, who should have been jubilant at being left alone but weren't.

I tried this a couple times (same scenario for different mods) and each time it was the same.

Happiness levels, whether positive or negative, will move towards indifferent if left alone.

It doesn't seem to make sense, especially after looking through happines.txt, but that's what seems to be the case.
