No Labor

It affects it pretty big in the beginning Lord. After you`re established, less so.

Indeed you can`t do anything to revive your HW if it dies,however it`s just 500 land and even if it`s dead it doesn`t affect your economy at all ,but if you insist on having it alive you`ll have to restart.

When I grab a nice planet that can be neither assimilated nor cluster, I enjoy demolishing all housing (and all everything) to taunt whoever gets it next.

If you`ve killed your home-world`s population, then I almost feel pity. It`s a sad trap that falls on those who cannot discard it.

oh, the HW, no, unfortunately you can`t rebuild your population on it if it falls to 0. You`ll have to restart.

IF you accidently made your labor to zero by demolished all housing on your HW (HomeWorld), the only way you can do now is restart the game...

other planets you can plunder and explore new one OR explore and cluster them with new planets and continue...

you can`t do the same thing with HW... except restart the game...

unfortunately, if you destroy your population to 0, the only way to get it back up is to cluster the planet into a larger cluster. If you can`t cluster it with other planets/clusters, then there`s no way to increase the population from 0. Sorry.
