thalan morale issue

The thalan are my favorite race although in TA i seem to have a morale issue constantly with them. In the begining the new colonies morale are so low they start to loose population. Is this normal or am i playing incorrectly? Is there a tip to prevent the morale issues in the colonies? Thank you for any help you are able to give.

Are you by any chance building the Hyperion Matrix on your homeworld? It is next to impossible to keep good morale in that situation, but otherwise I haven't had much trouble like you describe and I've played most of my TA games as Thalans.

They don't start with access to morale buildings, so it's a good idea to put a few racial points in morale. Other than that, it's likely just having taxes too high.

Prioritize on reseaching techs that give passive morale boosts, there are quite a few of them for the Thalans.

yeah i figured out what i was doing wrong right after i posted this but thank you for the help. I was taxing really high because of the temporal entertainment building but it was causing colonies to have like 26 approval.

In addition, through tech trading you can often get some technologies with a morale boost cheaply off the AIs.
