[RDM BSG] So, Galactica found a really great habitable planet, which is great, but now everyone wants to settle on it and dump our technology and medicine to live among the primitives. Can I not do that? Can I just...go with the Cylons, or something?

Seriously. Everyone’s lost their minds. How do no antibiotics help stop another Cylon uprising? Aren’t we chill with the Cylons now? They’ve got some cool shit on that Basestar. Why the frak are we dumping everything into the sun?

Don't let the comparative luxury of the Galactica, Pegasus, or even the Cloud 9 fool you. The conditions in the rest of the fleet were awful from the beginning, and only got worse after New Caprica and the years of constant running. People were eager to see a blue sky, feel real gravity, and live in a place that wasn't a few square meters of bare metal and malfunctioning technology. The need to be free of those shackles was a powerful one. 

I think it's rather obvious that even if one person named Adama said "nah, no cities", the rest of the human population didn't quite listen. Settlements, farming communities, and other infrastructure happened, it was just a long and hard road. And 150,000 years later, very little survives. Not to mention the fact that modern archaeology probably hasn't looked in exactly the right place yet. (I have a running theory/headcanon that resistance to the zero-tech decision was immediate and there was quite a bit of bickering and drama similar to everything we saw on the fleet. But given the alternative was more time spent with a fleet that everyone hated, the obvious winners were those on Adama's side) 

The other humans might be cool with you leaving with the mechanical Cylons, but the cylons might not be cool with you joining them. After all, life support systems can be quite inefficient, and shutting them down might benefit the basestar in ways you never expected.
