I am playing Inception #4 - Industrial Complex.
In the Tech window, I can allocate an Amp Gem to Begin Benign Emergent, even though there is a small note saying "No Begin Benign Emergent".
If a Tech item is disabled on a mission, the UI should prevent me from allocating an Amp Gem to that item.
The "No Begin Emergent" note is actually telling you that it would be a waste to place an amp gem on that tech. It's not actually locked.
The game SHOULD lock that tech when there's no begin emergent though.
Optimally this would be taken care of by the mapmaker, who would lock the tech completely if one were useless, or if they simply wanted the player not to use it. I'm not sure to what extent this requires a fix...the Benign Emergent is kind of unique in this regard. Although I guess some others could behave similarly. Say, Land Production Increase when there's 0 land on the board.
Oh, and just so you're aware, it's not Begin Emergent, it's Benign. It's pronounced kinda like "be-nine" and it means that it won't hurt you, that it's friendly.
The setting cannot be automatic, because PRPL can add land or increase the Emergent rate from 0.
If it were automatic, it would be automatic for simulacrum maps.

"Benign" is also a synonym for "good" :)

Then have a setting that automatically re-enables it when benign becomes available?
