Ultimate Automation 4.0

This will automate some of the more tedious and clicky actions while playing Stellaris. If you’d like to read your events or manage the more important and time critical things, turn on all them options! :D
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[www.paypal.com]
The automations that are currently available and optional:

• Auto colony manager: Enabling this automation will make additional colony automation available in the "Planet Automation" menu when in the planet view (such as auto Medical Centers and wilderness Cradles of Rebirth, etc). This also includes auto planetary decisions through a new button on the left when in planet view.
  
  
• Auto fleet/army merger: Enabling this automation will automatically merge fleets or armies that were present (built) at the time of this being enabled.
  
  
• Auto pop migration: Enabling this automation will automatically resettle unemployed pops to planets that have free jobs at the usual cost. There is also an option for it to resettle to the Synaptic Lathe.
  
  
• Auto construct megastructures: Enabling this automation will make a new button appear on the left side of the screen whenever a construction ship is selected. The button will make the construction ship automatically construct megastructures as many as it's allowed (capped). This feature currently includes Hyper Relays, Gateways, Orbital Rings, Dyson Swarms, Arc Furnace and Central, Major, and Minor Habitats. It also includes all 3 Frameworld megastructures from Gigastructures.
  
  
• Auto recruit armies: Enabling this automation will automatically recruit the chosen army on every owned planet until disabled.
  
  
• Auto construct outposts: Enabling this automation will make a new button appear on the left side of the screen whenever a construction ship is selected. The button will make the construction ship automatically construct outposts.
  
  
• Auto fleet attack: Enabling this automation will make a new button appear on the left side of the screen whenever a fleet is selected. The button will make the selected fleet automatically attack the nearest enemy and/or bombard planets with the bombardment stance selected from the settings.
  
  
• Auto army invade: Enabling this automation will automatically set all armies to Aggressive Stance which will make the army automatically follow friendly military fleets (that 'attach' when both fleets are in the same system) and invade hostile planets, if the odds of success are favourable.
  
  
• Auto recruit leaders: Enabling this automation will automatically recruit and assign the chosen leaders.
  
  
• Auto planet destroyer: Enabling this automation will make all planet destroyers automatically destroy the nearest hostile planet that is within a neighboring system.
  
  
• Auto colonisation: Enabling this automation will automatically build a colony ship and colonise the nearest planet with a chosen habitability or more.
  
  
• Auto upgrade megastructures: Enabling this automation will automatically upgrade megastructures (Gigastructures, ACOT, and NSC included).
  
  
• Auto terraforming: Enabling this automation will automatically terraform planets to the planet type that was chosen in the settings.
  
  
• Auto outfit starbases: Enabling this automation will make a new button appear on the left side of the screen whenever a starbase is selected. When the button is clicked, a menu will appear with multiple options to automatically outfit the starbase with a predefined template. This takes into account any cost reductions, however, not build time reductions (which will be implemented in the future). This automation is also NSC compatible.
  
  
• Auto upgrade/manage starbases: Enabling this automation will automatically upgrade a starbase once per month (or faster) from a specified level in the settings. The upgrading of outposts will stop once the starbase cap is reached. All starbases can also be downgraded simultaneously from a specified level using the options.

All these options are accessible through a shortcut 'Y' or the dedicated button and can be enabled using the ever so shiny main menu.

Latest updates:
- The automation "Auto upgrade megastructures" has been updated to the latest GIGA, ACOT, and NSC megastructures! This also accounts for bio compatible ones.
- A new automation has been added "Auto Outfit Starbases" which automatically builds starbase modules and buildings based on the option chosen in the menu. The menu can be accessed from a new starbase button on the left side of the screen as usual! This is also NSC compatible (this took ages btw haha).
- General bug fixes.

Currently in progress:
- Loads of things that I choose on a whim haha (from the list).

Future development:
- Auto continuation of excavations
- Auto slave marketing
- Auto agendas
- Expanded automation for planets
- Auto market/resource manager
- Auto reverse engineering of minor artefacts
- Reworking "Auto terraforming" and "Auto construct outposts" to be faster, more efficient in movement and more strategic (i.e., not getting cut off; prioritising)
- Add resource limits to some of the automation e.g., only use this much alloy and once depleted, player can reset it.

Plus extra automation that I cannot think of right now and any suggestions from discussions or comments.
If you have a suggestion or an idea, then please comment or leave a post in the discussions.

Compatibility:
- Fully compatible with other mods* but should be prioritised over other UI mods due to button; so placed last in the load order (at the bottom).
- Save compatible but should disable and enable automation features after an update.

*Apart from Compact UI Top-bar.

Known issues:
- The automation "Auto fleet merger" being a bit weird/flaky.
- The automation "Auto fleet attack" getting stuck sometimes (just move it one or two systems to unstuck it).
However, apart from that, none... Probably ;P
