Emissary isn't working (for colonizing)
I'm trying to use the Alpha Emissary to colonize in my own space, and for some reason, it's not working. I can't use the Emissary W beam (the collosus weapon) cause somehow a normal world isn't an applicable target, and even a baren world isn't acceptable, despite that being in the system action menu.
and when I check the precursor archive for details, it says to orbit first, but I see no option for it to ever enter orbit, it just flies to the destination.

What am I missing? Or is this a bug? Oh, and this is entirely me trying to use it as a colonizer, not an invasion force.

Nevermind, figured it out. The planet-killer component function doesn't work on mod-added worlds, or megastructures. Not sure why earlier it wasn't letting me target barren worlds though.

i can use it to terraform just fine, but can't colonize, anything specific to do or it's the same way/method ?

So others can see the answer:

1. Orbit a planet. Works on any solid planet, including molten, barren, frozen, etc.
2. Click the option in the Emissary's panel. Looks like an exploding planet. Target the planet you want to transform, choose what you want to transform it into.
3. While still orbiting the now-transformed planet, bring up the planet and go to Decisions. Choose to colonize.

Be warned - this really chews up the Stellarite. The Emissary disappears after colonization just like a colony ship.
