Make a megastructor etc only build-able in unclaimed space?

[StarDruid]

Is it possible to make a megastructor etc only build-able in unclaimed space? Trying to make a modded gateway that can only be built in deep space that been surveyed, and can't be built in anyone borders, not even yours. It's going to cost more and be for a Gate builders style game play, send out construction ships deep space to build gateways then use them to setup new colonies etc.

I'm sadly not very inventive person, if I can find code that's similar I can see how it's done and go from there. Sadly I've not found any code similar to this that makes it unbuildable in claimed space. All I've seen is the foreign gateway mod that let you build it in external friendly borders then transferred owner ship to the space's owner.

take a look at common/megastructures/05_gateways.txt.

I haven't tested at all but this sure looks suspicious

possible = {
exists = starbase # <-------
custom_tooltip = {
fail_text = "requires_inside_border_or_subject" # <------- this whole block
OR = {
is_inside_border = from
AND = {
exists = owner
owner = {
is_subject = yes
overlord = { is_same_value = from }
}
}
}
}

Hmm was looking but didn't see how I could reverse it. Have to look at how their OR, AND, NOT statments are used but might be able to have it simple check if there there is a starbase then if so it can't be placed.
Edit:spelling/grammer

Ended up just removing the exists = starbase from "possible = { }" then give it a nor statement with "exists = starbase" so if are starbase exists you can't build it there.
