Oops, sorry : I skipped the 'home' part of your message...

Could be a good idea earlier in the game but right now (2059) I have several colonies and I don't want to handle the flow of people manually. Doesn't matter, I'll keep the suggestion for my next game if needed :)

Well, no : the 'stable' option is grayed (disabled).
On your home planet?

You can only set the Stable option once the population reaches 25 million.

you can also set the source of colonists to be stable. This will halt people leaving the home planet and if no-one can leave the home planet they also can't arrive on the colony.

OK, it's because most colonists have already leaved the planet that I can't access to these radio-buttons, then. Sounds like a bug, no ? After all, ther's no reason why I could not forbid colonists to reach a planet if that planet has less than (whatever) population.

Anyway, the Abandon Plan has been set. Sad to see that people stop unresting only when they have no commodities left. Don't they like commodities ?  ::)

As far as I know, you can only do that as soon as it has above a certain minimum colonists. So let the bastards die, its not like you will really have a shortage of people.

On a "civilian/ind status" tab you can set whether a planet is a destination or source of colonists. If you don't want people to arrive to a planet, just set it to "source of colonists" or "stable".

NB : Abandoning a colony also means losing all the stuff you built/moves there.

I made a similar mistake trying to set a colony on Titan. The experimet proves to be far too expensive, as Titan did not concealed any interesting minerals. So I decided to move the colonists to Mercury (another experiment ^^). But the Titan colony screen shows that this moon is still a detsination for colonists, thus civilian transports keep moving unfortunate peaple to Titan. Is there any way for me to set the status to "please dear colonists, go elsewhere if you don't mind because I will soon move the infrastrucure away and you will uncomfortably die" ?

On the Economic screen, select it and at the bottom click Abandon.

You could abandon it?

As a new player I foolishly started a colony on Venus.   Now all civilian infrastructure goes there, and I have been manually shipping it elsewhere.   Is there any way to turn off the colony, It will not let me ban it and it automatically makes it a destination for colonists.
