I would like to see more techs that can increase the limit This makes the mechanic more transparent. if you colonize this systems you will get -10 happiness across all systems. when colonizing new systems implement the projected unhappiness penalty in the colonizing tooltip, e.g. This usually forces a player to spend a lot of dust to buy out happiness improvements, terraform the planets and so on, just to get the new colony to contentģd) there comes a point where going wide is no longer possible because happiness stacking is limited, unless you use the religious law.ģe) in wide empires it forces you to terraform all planets, making every empire i play look the same (90%+ atoll planets) A simple gas planet with 4 population is a systems provides the same penalty like a 5 planet system with 30+ population.ģb) It also messes with some faction mechanics, like the cravers 50 population collection bonus.ģc) if you already have a big penalty but you can manage it with the points listed in 2), any new system you colonize has a major happiness problem until you get all the happiness stacking there too. There is also a religious law that sets the happiness of all systems to content, basically removing happiness as a game mechanic.ģa) Since the mechanic is tied to the number of colonized systems you basically never want to colonize systems with few planets and no important resources. there is a system development luxuary resource that reduce the overcolonization penalty by a percentage (Benthic Gems)
there is a minor faction (mavros) law that reduce the overcolonization penalty by a percentage some technologies increase the number of supported systems
some government form increase the number of supported systems some factions (united empire or a custom faction) reduce the overcolonization penalty by a percentage There are mechancis that deal with overcolonization directly: planet terraforming: planets themselves provide happiness ranging from -20 to +10
laws, some of which have dependencies, e.g. some system development luxuary resources, most notably Transvine You can provide happiness bonuses to counter the unhappiness from overcolonization, such bonuses can be found in a multitude of game mechanics such as:
The magnitude of this penalty gets larger the higher the difference between the actual colonized systems and the maximum of supported systems is. If you have more systems that your empire can support you will face an unhappiness penalty on all systems. Each empire can support a number of colonized planets, you can see this number by going to the empire tab (dafaul shortcut: F1, in the lower left of the empire screen).
