In-depth description
The add_anomaly command is specifically targeted at adding anomalous findings or peculiarities to desired celestial bodies or star systems within the game.
To understand it better, we need to understand what Anomalies are within Stellaris. They are random events and discoveries that can occur when exploring the galaxy.
They can add an element of surprise and variety to the gameplay and can lead to a variety of outcomes, such as bonuses or penalties to research, resources, reputation, etc.
The add_anomaly command allows players to manually input an anomaly to a specific body immediately, rather than waiting for one to randomly generate.
The correct format to use this command is add_anomaly [anomaly id]. Here, replace [anomaly id] with the ID of the anomaly you want to add to the selected celestial body.
This command is powerful, but it does require a level of knowledge about the diverse array of anomalies within Stellaris.
It can be useful when a player wants to add a specific scenario or challenge to their game for various reasons, such as enhancing their storyline, creating challenges, or fully utilizing particular types of bodies that may be otherwise underused.
