Not scrapping the facilities allow you to retain your colony, but with no population. I don't really see the point of doing that: you cannot use the colony, but it is still a liability (can be captured/glassed for the happiness hit), and it isn't a new colony.

Because you can "drop cargo" to fill it up with people again on the very next turn.

Yup, it can be used to forcefully remove a riot, as no population cancels the rioting (and other states, like plagues). It doesn't make much sense, but it works in game.

I would stick with my suggestion, its the best method for dealing with this kind of problem.

this does not work anymore. it was patched out several versions ago: you can no longer add or remove population from a plague infested world - theyre under quarantine.

Actually, what I meant was "let the bloody settlers die out, and replace them": why bother removing them when they are already dying out?

Hey, I just tried the "move all populace except 1 onto transports, abandon planet while leaving facilities intact, then repopulating" trick and it worked like a charm to stop the emotionless yet rioting populations... now I just need to do this on about twenty more rioting worlds... lol...

Welcome to the world of micromanagement.

How come micromanagement never is?
