I encountered this hurdle as well. Researching the Shattered Planet location did unlock that location with a fly condition, but I had the same problem with that as well, not being able to set a turnaround condition that the platform would recognize (2.1). Maybe its because of the halfway location.
I tied messing with an interrupt with a matching condition and couldn't get that to work either. So, as far as I can tell, this mod requires you to navigate your promethium ships manually.
[add: this is fixed in v0.3.1]
