3dstats Console Command

The 3dstats command is a console command in Stellaris that toggles on and off the 3D stats of the game. This means that when activated, it displays the Frames Per Second (FPS) and the render time information on your screen.

Frames Per Second (FPS) refers to the rate at which consecutive images (frames) appear on your display.

The higher the FPS, the smoother the game appears.

So, seeing your FPS can help you determine if your game is running well, or if it's lagging due to low FPS. This can be useful when trying to troubleshoot performance issues, or when adjusting your game settings for the best possible performance.

Render time, on the other hand, refers to the amount of time it takes for the game to process and generate each frame. It's another indicator of the game's performance. If render time is high, it means the game is taking longer to produce each image, which can lead to lag or stuttering in gameplay.

You should use this command when you want to evaluate how well your game is performing or if you start noticing issues with lag or stuttering. It's a diagnostic tool that can help determine if the game is running smoothly, and if not, where the problems might lie.
