In other words, CI doesn't stop PPP, right?

Um, you're reading that wrong. It means that all other projects will succeed so long as they can overcome CI. PPP is the only project that can fail even if it overcomes CI.

Thanks you all, I understand it now.

I'll clear that up in the next revision (coming soon). It could be worded better. CI will stop all projects until it runs out of stored points. If a PPP gets through, it still has a 50% (reported) chance to fail.

And it doesn't work on homeworlds, I think. Though that might be an old wives tale.

I've used PPP on homeworlds. Not sure if it works on the homeworld, but it definitely works on "homeworlds" in a multi-planet start.

Nice how 2 people repeated exactly what I said.

Related question: I just got a "war breaks out" log event. "civil war has erupted across planet X..."

Is this a PPP or a random event? And, is there anything I can do beside dump lots of troops on it?

thanks,

Alarik

It sounds like it could be the 'Anarchy Groups' Intelligence Operation.

Was the message "Anarchy Groups on planet [%PlanetName] have risen up and caused civil unrest. They may be backed by foreign powers"?

You need to increase the planets happiness from Rioting, and Yes, dropping troops should do this.
