Uups, it is for both abilities:

Emergency Energy (which is Movement plus for ships), now we just need an engine and the planet could be moved.

And Emergency Resupply, if the button is hit you can choose between resupply fac. and distribution center. Even the view order displays a "use facility" for the turn.

The resource converter has got its own button.

Are these actually doing anything? Can you make a "planetary ship catapult" that with emergency energy (added strategic movement) that will let you bLast ships off from it?

I wouldn't think so, since I assume it doesn't ask you what ship you want to boost, so it would at most add movement or supplies to the planet, which probably has no effect.

*Whee! Our planet is flying! wait a minute, why is everyone dead due to implosion? and the ones that did survive got thrown into the stratosphear?*

*Your darn catapult... I told you it wouldnt work.*

The behavior is similar to starbases, if you add E resupply or E propulsion. E prop (em. Energy) does nothing because at least one movement point is needed. If the one-movement-left thing would be removed, I guess even stellar manip abilities could work with use facility, which would be nice, e.g. destroy planet, create storm, open wormhole and so forth.

It is quite annoying since one still must build urban pacification centers even if there are Megapolysis around and you get this message "there is already facility with this ability".
IIRC, there's a setting in Empire Options to turn off that warning message.
