Habitat Orbital Fix [latest]

This mod addresses a common bug with a variety of symptoms, all tracing back to habitat orbitals losing track of which planet they are orbiting. These symptoms include:
- Upon capturing a system with habitat orbitals, they will sometimes throw numerous false notifications about "evading hostiles"
- Planet deposits sometimes continue to display on the galaxy map as if they are not being collected, but the planet either already has a megastructure on it, or has nothing but will not allow you to build a station
- Sometimes, after an orbital has been destroyed or disbanded, the game will prevent a new one from being built, claiming the planet already has an existing megastructure

- Greatly reduces the frequency of the glitch occurring in the first place (though not foolproof), and adds a low-overhead hidden event to automatically detect and fix any orbitals that still manage to break on the first of the following month.
- This fixes nearly all existing instances of the glitch and prevents it from occurring except in very rare edge cases.
- Unfortunately, if your glitched habitat orbitals have already been destroyed or disbanded, this mod is unable to find the planet in question and fix it. You would need to remove the "has_megastructure" flag from such planets manually, using the command console.
