does anyone know if a set_"fleet_order" exists?

[Pancakelord]

Cant seem to find a way to do this one., I know there is a way to check orders,

But, beyond move_to and a few other (mostly combat related) things, I cannot find a general set X order on Y ship to Z location (if applicable)

Whilst I've got a work-around going for building mining stations automatically, by just spawning them in [cant issue an actual build order], I also wanted to do

• Automatic construction of observation stations (doesn't seem to be any way to spawn these in script??)
• Auto-move science ships to the worlds with highest sci-output and set them to "assist research" (as I always forget to do this)
  • A sub-set would be to auto-buy scientists for ships that are assisting research when their leaders die (which is doable - I think? Depends how quickly the "assist research" order is cleared on old-leader death)

For the first one. Didn't set the wait time to match build speed, but seems to work fine.

Most of fleet orders are issued by queue_actions effect (exceptions are ie aforementioned auto_move_to_planet effect, auto_follow_fleet (option = attack) etc.).

Some things you cannot do with queue_actions:
* land armies
* colonise planet
* orbit starbase/juggernaut
* upgrade fleet
* issue build order
* use jumpdrive
* use bypass

Some things you can do with queue_actions:
* merge fleets
* attack fleet
* orbit planet
* use planet killer on a planet
* find closest/random fleet, planet, system (although closest- seems to crash the game as of 3.0)
* wait
* repeat
* move to
* change stance
* queue effect
* queue event

Useful effects:
clear_orders = yes
clear_fleet_actions = this

I never saw survey and assist on a list of valid queue_actions.

You can find almost complete list of valid Stellaris script inputs in CWTools when writing in VSCode.

It might be interest of you @Pancakelord that I am working on a library adding missing queue_actions functionalities - Stellaris Fleet EXtender (SFEX). It will allow modders to have any fleet order normally not possible to issue. Below is a live jumpdrive example:
