I think I've found something more inconsequential than Crime

Deviancy.

This is not an uncommon scenario: Drones are locked in 50% Happiness, so they all produce 1 Deviancy. Considering Hive Minds are focused on massive pop growth, you get high deviancy very fast.

But then you look at this and... why bother? 79% Deviancy should eat my planet alive. But I'm only losing 3 Energy Credits; one sixth of a generator district covers this loss (I'm producing 7.7 per Tech-Drone right now). I also think the Drone Deviancy modifier is bugged, because it says it gives +1 Deviant Drone job and then +1 per 33 pops, and yet I only have 3 Deviants (I should have 4).

So not only it is easy to control Crime in non-Gestalts, even Gestalts see no issue with Deviancy; nevermind that Deviancy should probably be much more severe than some criminal goons running around.

I do have some ideas to make Crime/Deviancy more involving and consequential, but I'd really like to know if anyone else feels the same about Deviancy, and whether the devs are working on improving both features.

I'm not sure how it could be more inconsequential than crime, given that they are exactly the same....

There is a event that gives -20 Stability for 10 years that fires sometimes at high deviancy. That one actually hurts quite a bit. I only had it fire on recently conquered worlds as a devouring swarm though so it might only be able to fire when stability is already below 50.
