Happiness...driving me to dispair

Very interesting Geoschmo. Thank you for this explanation.
Did you test what happens if the colony starts angry? Because the negative natural decrease lowers as far as I observed the happiness level only to indifferent and I have the impression, that if you start at angry then it will improve the happiness until again indifferent is reached. But I might be completely wrong about this. However if you use your test model with a positive natural decrease the happiness should go to riot when you start at angry if I am right.
And have you any idea what the "Natural Decrease for Other Races" does??
