    Aren’t we talking about a scenario where anyone left behind will die? That’s billions of people every time we hop planets. Am I missing something?

    I think you severely underestimate the difficulty in establishing a biosphere. Could we grow crops? Yeah, sure, I guess. Hydroponics, if nothing else. It’d be a nearly completely barren world with just a few crop fields. How inspiring.

      According to OPs rules, only Earth gets destoyed, planets we settle after that should be fine.

      Well, yes at first it would be quite bleak.

      Or course we could also just cheat and use our FTL tech to time travel. Find a suitable planet, drop a couple of plant seeds, come back a few million years later and see what stuck.
