Mass genocide!!!

Remove everyone from the planet except for that Last 1M. The Last 1M of population contains all of the foul miscreants that get the others all riled up. Abandon the planet but leave the facilities. Return the population to the planet. They should be much happier now that all the troublemakers are gone.

This actually works, too.

Hmm (noting your handle).......

On the other hand, they are committing unlawful acts of insurrection against their lawful government and soverign (that's you!).....

IIRC, didn't somebody suggest a new facility that'd convert population into Organics a while back? That'd be one neat solution. :-0

Soylent Green....is PEEEOPLE! (heh heh...sorry, that had to be done. you know it.)

Actually, they need a new 'Resource Manipulation' facility that converts population into Organics. I find myself lacking Organics once in a while, and I start eyeing those 9600 population planets, knowing that they'll reproduce another few hundred next turn...

Although this may have already been discussed in that previous thread...I'm too lazy to look.

How about a mineral-miner component that convets the population of a planet (especially someone elses) into organics...

Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

That might be a good fac idea for the Religious techs - Humanoid Sacrifice Shrine. Would up the happiness / production of your system for a period (maybe 1 year) after you sacrificed x-million pop. (Should be higher if you sacrifice another empire's pop).

Boy, this game brings out the best in us, huh?!?!?!

Making it automatic should be easy; give the facility a negative population modifier and a positive happiness/production modifier. Of course, I assume you can use negative population modifiers (I know positive ones work, like in the Organic Tech's Replicant Center).
