In-depth description
The colonize command in Stellaris is used to start the colonization process on a specific celestial body.
It works by creating a copy of the population ID you provide and subsequently starting the colonization process with that population ID.
For example, if you want to colonize a specific planet using population ID 5, you would input the command as colonize 5.
It's important to note that this command will only work on colonizable celestial bodies. If the selected celestial body cannot be colonized, the game won't make any colonization progress, and your command will not have any effect.
This command can be especially helpful in times when you wish to expand your empire rapidly, without having to manually instruct your population to colonize new planets. It saves time and can make managing your space empire a lot easier.
