EF-Core migrations issue

I have split a large project into multiple places. I have 1 class-library with my classes and contexts, 1 class library where my migrations will go and then my main app. When i do Add-Migration init -Project <lib-with-context> it throws this lovely error: 
Unable to create a 'DbContext' of type ''. The exception 'Unable to resolve service for type 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContextOptions`1[SadBot.Core.Database.RPGContext]' while attempting to activate 'SadBot.Core.Database.RPGContext'.' was thrown while attempting to create an instance. For the different patterns supported at design time, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=851728

On further investigation might have been a db connection string issue. Re-running the command after testing the connStr gives me a new error: 
Your target project 'SadBot.Core' doesn't match your migrations assembly 'SadBot.Migrations'. Either change your target project or change your migrations assembly.
Change your migrations assembly by using DbContextOptionsBuilder. E.g. options.UseSqlServer(connection, b => b.MigrationsAssembly("SadBot.Core")). By default, the migrations assembly is the assembly containing the DbContext.
Change your target project to the migrations project by using the Package Manager Console's Default project drop-down list, or by executing "dotnet ef" from the directory containing the migrations project
