If I want to remove Mega Shipyard, will a blank 11_mega_shipyard.txt file work?

I want to prevent megastructures from spawning or being buildable, Habitats included.

Will creating a mod with blank forms for each file in Stellaris>Common>Megastructures suffice?

Work, probably, but it will definitely cause errors and could cause crashes. To do it cleanly, start by changing every possible block to include "always = no", then find all references in common/solar_system_initializers and change max_instances (or spawn_chance) to 0, then, not sure if there are any events that spawn some, but check the whole events folder and if you find any, in the trigger block put always = no. And the whole time, be sure you're overwriting correctly so you only break what you want to break. Good luck!

NGL, that's intimidating and I'd rather avoid doing that.
So I got another idea; change the factors in common>technology>00_megastructures.txt to 0. That suggests the AI won't be compelled to build them, and I personally won't build them, effectively removing their usage from the game.

I might have found an easier way to do it myself:
in common - technology - 00_megastructures.txt
add
potential = {
is_ai = no
}
to each technology!
