Happiness question

[Fyron]

Happiness is stored as the level of anger, from 0 to 100 (percent), not as the level of happiness. Negatives decrease anger, thus increasing happiness. Positives increase anger, thus decreasing happiness. Also, I believe that all values in Happiness.txt are in tenths of a percent, so "-2" is really "-0.2".

IF you build troops and drop them on an unhappy planet, it will increase the planets happiness over time. The more troops teh faster the happiness will increase.

Also, if possible, positioning a fleet of ships over a planet will increase it's happiness.

As long as it's your own planet.

k, i did build some troops (~25 for the larger planets and ~10 for the smaller ones)
let's see if there is change in the next few turns.

But i still need an answer to this problem:

i colonized 10 planets and the happiness.txt says "Any Planet Colonized := 10" does this mean that every planet i colonized will get +10 happiness every turn, or does it mean that every planet gets 10*10=+100 happiness each turn?

i need to know the exactly meaning of "any"

i really need to know for sure, i don't want to start a war so early in the game (~turn15 now) and then learn that the troops where enough to keep happiness status...

thanx, Dubrok

No, it means you get a one-time adjustment of 10 for every planet you colonized.

Check out the modding tutorial at this website. It explains how happiness works in the happiness.txt file. It helped me figure out what to do to keep my populations happy.
