If the losses continue frequently enough, the riots won't clear, or not enough to help.

Yes they do. Stick 140 or more small troops on a planet. It will probably never riot again.

Troops maybe, although I think you can still see a temporary hit that will be signifigant, and say 150 small troops x 200 planets = 30,000 small troops, which is a lot of resources and construction time and planetary cargo room, which an Emotionless race could be devoting to other things.

How can you tell that troops make pop happy (other than through observation) and how can you change it? Thanks

SE4/Data/Happiness.txt

For each happiness type, the line:

Our Troops on Planet := -2

Set to 0 to remove the effect. As you can see, the only compromise is to halve the effect, so it's not possible to just make it a minor effect.

Only takes 4 or 5 turns to build enough on most planets. Same build rate as a high-tech BB.
