Bloodthirst

'Bloodthirst' is a feature unique to the Snithereal. It enables them to eat an organic population living on a planet they control to boost their:

• Troop strength
• Growth rate
• Happiness

See also: Snithereal

Usage

• Bloodthirst is managed from the Snithereal's population management screen
• It's only available if the planet is controlled by the Snithereal and there is a second organic population (the Syntis can't be eaten)
• Bloodthirst can be set to a rate between 0 and 100 (0 disables it, any rate above 0 enables it)

Disabled

• Setting Bloodthirst to 0 disables it
• When disabled, the Snithereal population's happiness is negatively affected because an edible food source is going to waste (yellow box, image below)
• The other organic population is not affected while Bloodthirst is disabled

Enabled

• Bloodthirst is enabled by setting the rate to any number between 1 and 100
• While enabled, the Snithereal will eat the other organic population relative to the Bloodthirst rate
• Troop strength, growth rate, and happiness are all boosted while it's enabled (a higher rate gives a stronger boost)
• The other organic population's happiness is negatively affected by being eaten (the higher the Bloodthirst rate, the higher their unhappiness)
