In-depth description
The add_opinion command in Stellaris is used to artificially increase the opinion of one empire towards another.
The command works by taking in three inputs: the empire whose opinion is being manipulated (the source), the empire they are forming an opinion about (the target), and the degree to which this opinion is increasing (the amount).
By default, the amount is set to 40, meaning that without specifying a value, the opinion is increased by 40 points. Therefore, the general formula for the command is: add_opinion [source] [target] [amount]
This command can be very helpful in a variety of diplomatic scenarios. For instance, you can use it to warm relations between your empire and a difficult neighbor, potentially avoiding conflicts or making them more receptive to alliances, trade deals, or other cooperative moves.
You can also use it to manipulate other empires' relationships, causing friendlier relations between two empires that might otherwise be antagonistic.
