Alien assimiliation |

I have been curious about how long it takes for aliens to become assimiliated into my empire. I have conquered a few neutrals (they never returned my calls!
) and one rival power and I am still waiting for the populations allegiance symbol to change to my own. How long is normal? What can I do to speed things up?
Ships & Troops
Maybe you could put assign additional troops and ships to your occupied planets. Apparantly they raise the happiness rating of your empire's planets, so maybe they can convert your newfound aliens into common citizens. Beyond that, I wouldn't much about it.
Set up a Police-State with
Set up a Police-State with total authority to the army. Have once per week food rations and serve only soylent green. Then when the populace tries to break into a riot, allow the police/army the authority to deal with the riot using large scooping trucks to scoop the people in to lorries to be 'processed'.

And Taggants
And add micro-robot taggants to the soilant green; once eaten, they ID the DNA, report their position, and can be ordered to recycle their host on demand.

If you control their worlds
If you control their worlds you control their worlds their population will remain the same.
Bump
I'm wondering about this as well. Hate having to tie up all those troops and maintenance resources trying to assimilate the Bugs.

Been 4 days since last bump. Anyone, anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
I do not know the math, it
I do not know the math, it depends on culture and government. It happens when the flag of a race popuation on a planet becomes yours. I have two seperate populations of one race on a few worlds one with the native flag and another my own. I have however, not made a dent on a conquered homeword population.
Just a theory, as i normally
Just a theory, as i normally wipe a planet.
Doesn't assimilation take longer with larger populations. So couldn't you just stuff all of your pop into cargo containers and just leave 1-2M on the planet. When they are happy just dump the stored population back. Since transported population inherits the settings of the target planet.
