In-depth description
The copy_pop command in Stellaris allows for the duplication of existing population units, commonly known as 'pops'.
The command accomplishes this by using the unique identification number, or 'id', of a pop.
To implement this command, you would need to first click on a planet. This indicates the planet where the duplicate pop will be placed.
Subsequently, you enter the command copy_pop followed by the id of the pop you wish to duplicate. The game then automatically adds a new pop to the planet selected, identical to the one specified by its id.
By allowing you to control the distribution of different species within your empire, it can be used for careful strategizing.
If a particular population unit has desirable characteristics or traits, it can be duplicated in order to maximize the benefit it provides.
For instance, let's say you have a pop that is particularly adept at science research. If you wanted to boost the scientific output of a planet, you could use the copy_pop command to add more of these efficient researchers to the planet.
