[4.0] Automate Infrastructure - Hyper Relays and Gateways

Description
Version 4.0.*

As midgame rolls round, your Hyper Relay network will gradually want upgrading to Gateways. However, whilst it's easy to build a Hyper Relay from the galaxy map, the same is not true of Gateways... requiring multiple stages of upgrade. This mod tries to make it a bit less of a faff.

Automate Infrastructure
After you've built at least one Gateway the traditional way (with a construction ship, or by upgrading a ruined Gateway), then your Hyper Relays will have the option to 'upgrade' to a Gateway.

This costs as much as building a new Gateway, and takes as long, but is a single click that doesn't require fiddly construction ship admin. Once the 'upgrade' is complete, a Gateway will be spawned; leaving the system with both a Hyper Relay and a Gateway.

Compatibility
This mod changes no files. It will conflict with other mods that provide an upgrade option for Hyper Relays, but that's it. It even makes sure the final Gateway and Hyper Relay are the default, vanilla versions at the end!

Even if it's completely random systems you own, I would love that policy to auto upgrade with a policy.

Brilliant idea using fake structure to spawn gateway, that really inspired me with series of new approaches, thanks a lot.

Does this only auto upgrade gateways or does it automake hyper relays

same as Zulu9812, 2 event boxes

It's 2 event boxes

Hm, double pop-up wasn't something I noticed in testing. As in, you get two top bar notifications? Or two full event boxes? It shouldn't trigger *any* event boxes.

I considered having it auto-build hyper relays but it's a very difficult thing to automate (as you want to build paths, and determining what a meaningful 'path' through your empire is is a hard question. Given it's already very easy to do from the galaxy map I thought it wasn't worth it.

There's no AI weighting for the upgrades so the AI won't do the upgrades, and there's no reason for them to anyway as they have infinite patience for micro.

Besides the double pop up on completing a gateway, I have an issue not being able to upgrade vassals hyper relays to gateways. Option just doesn't pop up.

I use this with ultimate automation and have my construction ships auto build hyper relays, and whenever I want a gateway it saves so much clicking by using your mod. 10/10 :)
