Colony abandoning,

[tt0022]

Could we please get a decision on our planets to allow for abandonment?

What i would suggest is that the last pop would be allowed to migrate to some other world, sadly right now it is impossible to abandon worlds that have no benefit to the current empire, (being really small or wrong planet type)

You absolutely can abandon planets - just resettle all the pops to other worlds.

this sadly is not a option for my current empire where i have resettlement disabled.
and before you say, just enable it. it would be nice to have a more "democratic" way of doing it.

Create a vassal? You would lose the territory, but that might work in some scenarios.

...Don't play democratic empires if you want to resettle people then?

 

[tt0022]

I feel like the option should still be available in a democratic society

If the people want to stay there, then there is nothing you can do about. The joke of having different ethos, is having civilizations with different capabilities. With it's pros and cons.

If a non authoritarian civilization becomes able to resetle people and abandon a colony, then also should be able to use slaves. And Authoritarian should be able to give Utopic living standards. And Xenophile should be able to purge. And Xenophobe should be able to unlock Xeno-Compatibility. And Pacifist should be able to use No Retreat war doctrine. And... well, you understand...

The people of Calabria Prime cry out in clamour.
Background radiation is through the roof, temperatures rapidly go from melting heat to deep freeze and the very air is a thick smog of acidic and toxic fumes.
As one, the citizens urge you to evacuate the colony, saving them from this physical hell they've been told to call home.

and you respond
"no, it wouldn't be democratic"

i think it would be very democratic for your colonist's to jump ship if they are on a 20% planet. (or capture one during wars)

You could always start a project to adapt them to the environment, well if you got gene tailoring at that point. I mean, it doesn't have to be a total loss.
