Machine Shipset Add-on: Gigastructural Engineering Ringworlds - Titanic, Behemoth, and Gargantuan

Description
Overview
This is a compatibility patch between the Machine Shipset and Gigastructural Engineering & More (3.7) to allow the additional three sizes of ringworld use the Machine Shipset graphics (including the Hive and machine variants). That includes titanic, behemoth, and gargantuan.

Warning: the graphics from Machine Shipset are not altered to reduce their curvature, so ringworld appearance is somewhat "bendy." See sample images.

Changes
Adds graphical entities for the Machine Shipset that are compatible with the new ringworld types from Gigastructural Engineering & More (3.7). Adds an event to assign the machine_01 graphical culture to these ringworld megastructures if the constructing empire has that graphical culture. Overrides the final stage of titanic, behemoth, and gargantuan ringworld construction as well as restoration from ruined, so that seam sections are flagged and can be identified for changing the graphical culture.

Compatibility
Same compatibility as Gigastructural Engineering & More (3.7). Overrides six megastructures from Gigastructural Engineering: ringworld_titanic_2, ring_world_titanic_restored, ringworld_behemoth_2, ring_world_behemoth_restored, ringworld_gargantuan_2, and ring_world_gargantuan_restored in order to ensure the seam sectors are flagged with the ringworld size, for easier targeting to change the graphical culture, which could conflict with other Gigastructres add-ons.

Built for Stellaris version 3.7 "Canis Minor." Not compatible with achievements, but neither are the dependencies.

When to Install
This mod can be safely added after the game has started, but should not be removed from a game in-progress. It can theoretically be removed from a game in progress - any titanic, behemoth, or gargantuan ringworlds should revert to the fallback appearance for the Machine Shipset (mammalian_01). Back up your savegame before attempting to remove a mod.

Known Issues
Overriding a megastructure results in the game logging an error in the error.log file. Expect to see six errors like this:

@Only Karlos O-class Dyson sphere support was added to the " Standard " edition of this mod. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2644466861

@Only Karlos I don't use RSS, but you are welcome to make your own patch. If the Machine Shipset does provide a Dyson Sphere model, I believe I can add it for O-class stars.

Could you make a compatibility patch with Real Space - System Scale?
As of now the ringworld segments are all separated...

Coud you make a compatibility patch between the Machine Shipset and the O-Class Dyson Sphere from Gigastructural Engineering?

As of now, Dyson Spheres made in regular stars look as they're supposed to, but if built in a O-Class Star then they change to the default look (I think Mammalian?) of a Dyson Sphere.
