I'm on my first playthrough, and so far I'm enjoying it. I think that Banks and Utopia made the game significantly better, though there is still a long way to go until the game reaches its full potential.

Anyway though, here are my questions.

I was wondering if their was anything more I could do to make a faction happy. Currently, one of my ethics is xenophile. However, my xenophile faction is sitting at happiness 55%. All 3 of its issues are green (or yellow in one case). I just need 5% more happiness from them so I can get the influence but I just can't seem to get it.

I was also wondering when you get the core system techs. I am 25 years through the game and I still haven't gotten one. I would like to know because I don't like that you only get 3.

Besides economic factions, which I currently have one, and isolationist factions, what factions do pacifist join? And is there a list anywhere of all the faction types, their issues, and what ethics they correspond with?

I got the first one pretty early, before 20 years had gone by I think and I saw the second one not too much later but didn't research it at that time because by then I had the tradition that gave me +2. There is also a civic which gives +2.
