There is no button [;)]
You have to remove all pop from a colony, or gift/trade it with someone else. Or let it riot [:D]

I gave up on turn 180. Humans arent exactly beginner-friendly with such a vague user interface it seems.

Humans are very picky on where they like to live [;)] You should stick to planets with friendly environments. Or terraform the ones that are less friendly. Thery also like going to the circus [:D]

Well humans have an unforgiving economy. Which is fine, really. But lack of descriptions is what has killed me. One building is the difference between a rich flourishing colony and a rioting mess destroying valuable stuff. A level3 mine? how much does it produce, how much pollution and unhappiness does it cause. Totally unknown. Build one, and suddenly they are rioting. What the hell, 100gold more and pollution just doubled. Militia(per definition people who are supposed to combat unrest) do nothing, but space marines do. What the hell. Again amount unspecified. 1 marine, or maybe 100 are needed as militia. Same with space ships. What the hell is security. Its pretty frustrating. Build one space station and suddenly every base is rioting. What the hell. Ok at least i fill up those 5pop. Hell, the 5 pop space station is rioting too now. Its a total wandering in the dark, and with humans it ended not so nice, since they have pretty tight limits on how far one can overstep them.

Have you updated to version 1.024. Space stations shouldn't riot, and there are more descriptive tool tips

The tooltips are better, but they're still not enough for someone that doesn't know the game IMO. The *descriptions* should be more clear.

isnt a patch a beta or is this another. I'll patch with a new game, thanks, it looks like there are some serious changes. Does it show how much pollution and unhappiness buildings will generate and police effect of units? And how far a city is from unresting. Totally in the dark why some cities riot and some not..

The tooltips show pollution, but that's about it. The tech/structure descriptions weren't changed.
And how far a city is from unresting. Totally in the dark why some cities riot and some not..

If (Security - Popularity) is well in the negatives, it's not good.
Cities?! [;)]

Can you confirm how to evacuate the last pop from a planet?  While trying to relocate populations I seem to have trouble getting the last pop (or last pop of a particular race) to board transports.  There probably should be a "Do you really want to abandon this planet?" pop up, but so far it doesn't seem to work.
