Another possible way to find a megastructure would be to measure its dimming effect on a star.

As I prepared to leave China in 2008, the Soviet-era airport had given way to a glittering megastructure designed by Norman Foster.

This star gained fame when a far-fetched hypothesis that this dimming could be the first signs of an alien megastructure took root.

In 1960, amid rapid economic growth and concerns about energy shortages, physicist Freeman Dyson imagined an advanced society might build a megastructure surrounding a star to capture its energy.

Eventually MXC was going to have a megastructure where you’d just have a frame for your main structure and you could plug in units based on what you needed, so it would be constantly shifting.
