What is the mass of the smallest self-replicating unit that can be reconfigured after receiving instructions from another planet or solar system? I would venture to speculate it dosen’t take that much.
In any case after it arrives wait a few years for the stuff to cook (self-replicate), build infrastructure and then just build the human bodies (or computers running ems) of the people you want to settle there.
