Trying to understand how to change a colony to a production center. Do I load 30PV on to ships, send them to the colony, unload the PV and then issue a DEVELOP order? Or does the develop order take care of any of that?

All you need to do is have a fleet with at least 30 space in cargo. Give them a DEVELOP order and they will fly there and do the development on their own. Just like COLONIZE works.
