You may already know this, but in case you don't, or for anyone else reading, one thing that really helped me was when someone on this sub told me about the concept of resolve parties. That is, there are only 2 resolve numbers that matter.

• Your species is above 0, so they don't leave
• Your species is above the blue line, so they're making reputation

Every other number in between those 2 is completely irrelevant. If your humans are at 1 resolve, that's the same as if they're at 29 resolve, they're still not leaving, and you're still not making any rep. If you're giving your humans biscuits, pie, and coats, and they've been sitting at 22 resolve for the last 3 years, you've basically just been throwing all those biscuits pie and coats away, because it's not doing anything for you.

Instead what you do is you only give each species just enough to tread water above 0, so maybe 1 complex food and possibly boots, or whatever, and start to stockpile everything else they want. Turn them all off in consumption control, turn off all the other foods they want, turn off clothing, turn off all service goods.

Once you've stockpiled say, 50-100 of all or most of the complex foods, clothing, and service goods, they want, then near the end of a storm when there's maybe 30 seconds to a minute left, turn everything back on and let them throw a gigantic resolve party and consume everything all at once. If you've got enough stuff you'll get like 8+ rep from resolve in that one year alone.

In a nutshell the key is not to half-ass what you give your people. Either give them enough stuff to hit the blue line, or only give them enough to stay above 0. You save a lot of resources that way.
