Yet More NON-Newbie Questions ;)

ok, now for a few facility questions...do negative numbers work for facilities (ie, happiness, resources, % increase in resources for planet or system etc).

I'd like to make forced labour camps/slave camps that either decrease happiness or 'eat' organics.

I do not know about negative percent increases. But, a negative resource production does work. Negative system happiness ability does not work. Negative planet happiness ability does work. However, if there is any other happiness ability affecting it that is positive, the negative gets ignored. Unlike all other abilities, the system and planet happiness abilities are treated as the same, and only the best gets used. So, if your slave camp has -10 to planet happiness and you build a UPC I with +1 to system happiness, the planet ends up with a net +1 to happiness per turn, with the slave camp being totally ignored.
