Any Tips on Cohesion?

[Mr Queenie]

I keep pumping money into unity but it always just drops so fast! Any info on it?

Unity works best in countries with low Education. Once your Education score gets above - I dunno, 7 or so? - Investing in Unity will only slow the bleeding. Knowledge actually makes like 3x more of a difference than Unity, even assuming Unity is working at 100% effectiveness. So, once your Cohesion drops below 5, investing in Knowledge (or a bit of both) is the better option.

Reduce inequality below 3. Keep public opinion over 50% support for your faction. Otherwise people disagree ideologically with their leaders -> bad for cohesion.

Cohesion always try to reach its resting point.

So what you want to do is to change the resting point of cohesion. Unity doesn't help with that.

Inequality does, reduce inequality and the cohesion resting point will increase.

Hover over and see what the resting point is. Normally the quickest way to boost it is a war with someone you don't plan on fighting (+1 for each war, +0.5 per rival up to 3 rivals within 1 CP of yourself). Long term way to address it is high public opinion in line with the control points and reducing inequality (-3.5 cohesion per point). Knowledge also pulls it to 5.

Just keep in mind that while you are at war, no matter with whom (except aliens I believe) there is a chance for an event where your faction commit an atrocity in the war. Even if your armies does not fight anyone. Infinite war is not a solution. But short term it will work.
