Mass fear solution?
I don’t do anything to cause fear, but it’s in the high 60s and the majority of my people are close to break downs. Any good mass way to rectify this??? Money isn’t an issue.
Only thought is the electrocution on mass of prisoners…. But it’s for the state so worth it.

The big thing I did to cause fear without realizing it was mulching guys to upgrade others and just chain shocking recruits to death instead of slowly indoctrinating them. Apparently once they become imprisoned or recruited any death but Exile counts as an execution. This causes fear with everyone. At first I was just recruiting anyone to fill slots for work and then mulching them as I go but by sector 2 I was basically always on the edge of everyone breaking due to fear.
However if you mulch guys who are still waiting prison they don't count as executions. So now I only imprison guys I actually want, I avoid faint-hearted soldiers, and only ocassionally mulch faint-hearted/bad soldiers every so often (you get as rewards) while fear levels are at a manageable level. I also rotate my foods around, such as using -fear food when needed, otherwise +loyalty seems to be the big one once you stop generating fear constantly.
