Well, humanity does still exist. The short answer is that this is a space fantasy setting, not a science fiction setting. Particulars about how people survive really shouldn't be an issue unless it comes up in play. So, they survive through the magic of handwavium.
For the long answer, what I'm working on right now is the fact that each fragment is not just a chunk of rock-its a piece of the previous world, and contains a fragment of the god of the original world. In most fragments, this deity functions in it original capacity, providing the human inhabitants what they need to survive (air, water, food and shelter). This is also the place for magic users and sorcerers in the setting; they intercede with this spirit on behalf of the people.
In some fragments, the spirit left behind has become bitter and twisted, leaving large sections of the world uninhabitable, which come out as rumors of "haunted" fragments. Healing these fragments of their torment will allow adventurers to recapture land and set up bases and petty kingdoms, possibly even forging them into a mighty empire to push back the killer robot regime.
