The Happy Ray is a permanent socialization tool in the Space Stage of Spore.
A Happy Ray being used.
The tool shoots a rainbow-colored beam out on the empire's citizens while playing music, gradually increasing "Using friendly tools" relationship bonus to +50 (+30 to the Grox), albeit consuming a large amount of energy. Each upgrade increases the speed of the increasing relationship bonus. If it's used on a civilized planet, the citizens will eventually stop panicking and start celebrating the arrival of the spaceship.
