- Range
- -300 to 100
- Default Value
- 20
- Optional!
This parameter indicates the minimum happiness on a planet after it is
- conquered in regular combat,
- conquered in ground combat or Imperial Assault, or
- colonized by dropping clans or using the Colonize mission.
If natives are unhappier than the value specified in this option (e.g. from excessive taxation), they'll be improved to this value.
The same goes for colonists, with the exception that newly colonized planets (third case above) always start with happiness 100, i.e. the maximum possible.
This option is intended to limit the damage a player can do to a planet he is sure to lose. It does not limit happiness on a planet which remains under a race's control; RGA or excessive taxation may make a planet unhappier than configured here. This option also has no effect on voluntary planet trades (give planet command).
This option exists in PHost since version 4.1c. Previous versions behave as if it had the value -300, and thus do not limit happiness beyond the hard limit implied by all happiness computations.
