Accidentally isolated an island(?) section

[Mince Pie]

I forgot to put down landing platform and houses on a completely isolated island next to my first city. So basically, there are matter mines, solar panels, and the storage module, but 0 workers to utilise them.

The isolated island would have no issues connecting to my first city as long as I can send workers there.

Is there anything I can do to send workers to the isolated island?

Hi!
If you mean that you have spent all of your matter and you can't build anything else including the landing platform, I suggest that you build the trade shuttle in your first city then sell matter to your second cliff until you're able to build the landing platform and residence for your people.

Tip worth mentioning: The trade shuttles uses uranium as fuel so you may have run out of stock at first. Work around for this problem (even if there is no uranium deposits on your cliff) is researching the "Reverse reaction" under the "Energy improvements" tree. It'll give you access to the "Uranium absorbent tower" which can produce uranium at a cost of money and a little bit of power consumption but it will also increase the ecology, so that's a plus!

Just destroy your storage and land a new one. End of problem

Does this really works?!
EDIT: Holy shoot, it works. This is definitely a bug, isn't it?

No, it's a mechanic to prevent early loss of the city by accidents like what the OP described. You can abuse it if you want to though.

I'm not too sure if the OP means that he tried to set up a new city and failed or if he is playing on a map like Heavenly Waters and means that small cliff outside of the main one but if it is the 2nd, workers are "common pool" in the city so even if you don't connect the small islands to the main cliff, workers still "teleport" to their workplace so it's not a problem.
