This game doesn't explain the formula for unrest or influence. It is the simplest thing to add in game, such that when I hover mouse over morale it says "Unrest - Exceed colony cap x%, taxes y%, ".

Also, for influence, the Natural influence range is not explained at all. Also, super simple to add a small list when you hover above influence. For example, if I have 909 influence and my natural range is 10, hovering could say "Next range limit at 1065 influence" or something. It could also provide a small list with limits because its really hard to tell how to increase your influence bubbles.

The devs already do this with raw production, where each contributing factor is listed when you hover with your mouse over the stat. But unrest and influence are just unexplained. 

I checked influence range for several data points and I'll post them here. I have never found a list that accurately depicts how much influence is required for a specific range. These influence-range-ratios goes for both colonies and star bases.
