can you abandon a planet??

[Sikres]

Thats the question, thanks!

[RodHull]

Not that Im aware of, which is actually quite an oversight design wise. Havent had the need to myself but should be an option.

[Drahkar]

Possible solutions :

-Purge all the population on it (if you allow purges). This is something I've done before and it actually does abandon the planet.

-Resettle the population (if you allow resettle).

-If you can't do the above, remove all of their food by deactivating the buildings that produce it, then let them migrate. If you can't migrate the last pop, perhaps build a robot then let the last organic pop migrate.

He will still technically own it though which he may not want to due to stupid enforced core planet limits.

[Drahkar]

You don't own the planet if you purge everyone on it.

Some ethos dont get the purge option and even those that do often suffer bad happiness hits for doing it, specially if hes having to purge his own primary species.

Lets just agree it should be an option and its stupid it isn't yes there are convaluted and cumbersome workarounds but there shouldnt have to be.

I was correcting this completely false statement. I'm not interested in giving opinions on anything, just answering his question.

or you could attack one of the ancient civs, when they crush you, they sometimes ask you to abandon several planets... along with taking a "humiliation" penalty. (Yes, actual in game experience here....)

Purge seems to be the only way

[Thamior]

Well, it's a game where population opinion means something and it strives for some kind of realism. Consider this, how would you explain to people living on the planet that they have to abandon their home for some arbitrary reason? So you can do this indirectly and only if your government type allows it: resettlement or plain old genocide. That all seems reasonable to me.

[Sikres]

yeah but resettle them and then abandom a planet can be a good option.

Then he can just use a mod to give him 900 core planets. Really not hard. Never use sectors myself

[Sikres]

i just found the sector today, but i dont like how they mangae the things. IA is stupid.

How would that help if you're in your early beginnings and colonized a holy planet you want to abandon before a fallen empire unleashes holy hell on your tentacled ass?

In the case of accidentally colonizing a holy world, the fallen empire will contact you before the war demanding that you remove it. If you accept, it will auto purge all your people there, abandoning the planet, and you will get the humiliated de-buff. This is similar to when some countries try to demand you to become a vassal before declaring war... minus the purging part.

You can do this with console commands. First resettle all populations that you dont want to lose, you can never resettle the last pop though. Either use an alien or a robot or just sack whatever pops you want. You can open the console with the tilde (~) key. Ignore quotes, these just mark exactly what to type
1. Type "debugtooltip" in the console
2. Close the console and mouse over each pop on the planet. Write down the large ID numbers that are shown
3. Open the console and type in "kill_pop " and then the ID number, e.g. "kill_pop 123456789"
4. Repeat step 3 for each pop on the planet.
