I've recently conquered a bunch of planets my guys can live on alright, only problem is its full of the unlucky conquered pops. Nonchalantly, I opened the new species tab and ordered these 'undesirables' to be taken care of (god, this game is sick). Then a thought crossed my mind. What if I wanted to keep some of them around to serve my soon-to-arrive colonists? Is there a way to only thin out their population to make room for my own species? It seems its do it or don't at the moment, killing all pops of a given species or none. Can somebody enlighten me?

when you purge some pops are purged before the others. you can wait for it (so there will be a free space) and then resettle your own species.
(after that you can even cancel the purge if you want, but they'll still be a bit unhappy)

the other variant: resettle some captured aliens and move in your own pops. (no additional happiness penalties)
