solar cannon/ colony moral

[Pathfinder1]

Yet more noob questions, sorry What would be the best setting for the solar cannon? I'm not sure how fast the "shot" travels. Concentrated would do more damage, but would it hit anything before it got close to the dome? Half circle looks like it would be a good choice, but it is strong enough to do much damage?


The moral is dropping in my first colony because of "crowdedness" I assume in order to correct this I have to keep them from breeding? Aside from adding salt peter to their water supply, how do I do this?

thanks for the help

for the population, there are a couple things you can do. if the pop is stable or going down, try just taking some of them out until they start going up again. if that isnt enough, you can try upping the taxes. im not so sure about this idea, because it lowers morale, but it would also therefore lower pop and possibly the loss of crowdedness would counterbalance the morale lost from taxes. and thirdly, you can get your refinery harvesting either medicine or oil, both of which increase morale.

i dunno what planet type you have, or your current pop, so the third (and probably easiest) may or may not be possible

My staple is 9/120 medium burst, but it depends on the planet layout.
